In placing Ihe prospectus of the Mataura Dairy Factory Company, Limited, before the public and provincial directors would call ihe attention of the settlers in this district to some of the advantages derivable under ihe factory system, of the success of which there is now no doubt judging from the number of companies that have been successfully worked not only in New Zealand but in the other colonies, and also in America. Under the factory system tho saving in labor and the use of the latest machinery reduce the cost of manufacturing to a minimum ; besides, the article produced is of an uniform quality, nnd consequently more readily disposed oE in the markets of thi3 and the adjoining colonies, or ill need be in those of Great Britain. There is also the time saved to the farmers at present taken up in the management and superintendence of the dairy, not to mention the anxiety and trouble they have. By the farnvrs taking shares they will not only have :i fair price for their milk paid to them regularly every month, which will obtain a higher average all the year round than they at present get though being obliged during some months of the year to take ridiculously low prices, but they will also be independent of exchanging their produce for goods, which is a common practice in many districts ; and besides which they will participate in tho profits of the company. It is anticipated that for mnny years the demand for dairy produce will be more than equal to the supply, in consequence of which the prices wiJl be 1 kcly to rule high. In Australia the requirements are very much in , excess of the supply, and in event of the Colonial market failing there is always Great Britain to fall back upon, where the demand is p r actically unlimited and tho cost of sendiug it thcie would only make it a fraction more than if sold in our own markets. The Provisional Directors having carefully considered the matter above stated can cenfidently recommend the venture to farmers and residents in the district (the growth of grain being anything but rcmumerative) as an investment which can be successfully carried on and which in time will not only benefit the farmers alonp, but will, it is hoped, tend to foster and encourage other industries and thus help to develop the resources of this well cultivated and superior grazing district. ±139 TWO POUNDS EEWAED.
