As will bt seen by. a circular, copies of which have bppn posted to roost of the settler, in the district, the committee of ihe proposed Cheese and Butte' - Factory have comiiieiiced .heir work in eurnes. by pi vug those persons who sre likeiv to become shareholders aH ihe necos-ary inf'ormanon for the'r «^ui*»:inre, or at le^st aU tho infoTpaii >n and data if is at present i.o-sih!e to obtain. The Circular) wh eh hiis evidently been very carefully (lr.iwn up by Messrs Sukiiwit. V. BrYCE. Mo.nrad, and MacakTHUit, cummeijce.- by reniintliii- the graziug farmeVs.a-.id small seit'ers in ihe. fi&t.'ict. vl the great disadvantage under which ihe}' are placed owing to i he meagre aod nncclaii. c<<.-h returns '.hey receive from the siock they raise only for the purpose >f producing meat, and also for the chee.e and butter they produce for heal consuroplion, on winch still more labor is expended than on the stock raised for the market. The advantage is also pointed out of the eDcocragemeot uiai wculd be oivfji to the keeping o> dairy cows, and the relief that would b-. afforded to the oi'iei'tiines glutted condition of the srock market il such n>eans of disposing of milk were provided as the proposed Cheese anu Buuer.

Oue or two preliminary meeti , :-.s of the promoters have already be. a held, aod when all the facts and statistics on the subject have been collected, it. is intended to lay them before a gen eral public meeting, to be held in the Town Hall about the first of next month, when it is hoped that all persons at all interested in the rnTie. will endeavor to be present. The proposed capital of the company is £4,000 in 2,000 shares of £2 each, of which only one half sha-M be called up in the following manner, viz., 5s per share on application, aud 5s on allotment ; the remaining in calls of not more than 5s each, at intervals of not more than two months It is further proposed, if-Jbund expedient, to allow shareholders to pay auy calls after the first two, in milk itself. Thus it will De seen that to be a shareholder will be within ihe means of mo.t persons residing in the district, while the terms of payment are rendered as easy as is practicable, as light in fact as would be consistent with financial safety. The only thint? necessary beyond the required number of shareholders is the guarantee of a good supply of milk, which is a matter to be settled by the farmers themselves by taking up fche proiect right heat tily, and becoming shareholders in the : CT.rnpany,
