I An interesting experiment' was Cfujied out •at the .Uexdalo cheese factory, in the lorty-.Mi.le Hush, to tost ■ the quality of butter-fat ' in whey when 1001b of whey were taken direct from the vat and put through 1 a hand separator, with the. result that slightly over two ounces of butter wore made from the butterfat obtained from tilo whey. The article looked similar to ordinary •butter. From these figures it follows that it would require 8001b of whey to make, lib of butter, A bundle ol o() 'head ol asparagus from a farm at Melmont was brought into Geeking last week (says the -Melbourne Argus), and turned the scale at 18.V1 ba.' At \ present h prices .are being rcalis- | ed lor this vegetable, and several ! district farmers are- cultivating it I for the Melbourne markets, and ro- I cciving good returns. One farmer in the Drysdale district, under eontract to sell to a, carrying firm in the city at £18 10s per ton, has a hod of asparagus. He averages three tons per week, and as the •crop will keep at that average for twelve weefe, 'he will receive over £1350. Ike farming seems to he flourishing in the Waikato. Ono apiary exceeds 1000 colonies, extends over many mi! >s of country, a, motorcar is used, by the proprietors for the purpose of travelling from ono station to the otiher. To be popular agree with overj blithering idiot's Opinion. Byron Brown: can't.—Advt.
