* \ At "the ;tVanganui Dairy Factory meeting no less a sum than i? 614 was passed for. payment for milk alone, some of the 'accounts being for very large sums, such as <£ J Bl, ,£79, £36, £30, and so on. These amounts certainly, represent m a few cases three months 1 supply, which, however, for the first few weeks, was very small. Considering; all things, says the Ghrpnicle the* average amount per week earned for the farmers by the 1 denizens of the pasture is very good itideed, and rnviSt have proved a very Jwelcoi)i;e^ addition to ; the other sources of hi-
