The lovely weather which has prevailed for the past fortnight, i 3 quite phenomenal for this season of the veer, a .'id weather prophsiers forecast either a very wst or a very dry summer, Notwithstanding, however, the fine weather conditions the growth has been retarded, the first really visible signs becoming noticeable since the late rainfall two or three days go. Consequently everything in the shape of plant life is making a rapid growth and possesses a refreshed npnesrance. The pastures assume a vigorous green nealtby sward, and this alone is responsible for the encouraging 'rise in the milk supply and the healthy appearance of the c!aa*y herds. Ihe numbers of these have grown so rapidly cf late that a proclamation from the manager and directoi'3 was issued a few days ago that cream would be received at the factory on Wednesday, Ist hist. By about 8 o'clock the first supplier appeared with his supply, and an hour or so after quite a number had gathered, and jocularly commented on all the issues which go to make a factory successful. Cows, separators, cream, butter fat, calves, and dairying in general, came in for an equal share of cross examination. The manager expressed his delighted approval cf the quality of the cream supplied, and estimated the quantity of cream to produce aproximately seven boxes of butter. This supply for the beginning epsaks volumes for the district and settlers and if they but practice co-operation and pay strict attention to the handling of the cream, the success of the concern is assured.
