The New Zealand I)airv Ajwoeiatiuu has made this season between 1 f>ooand 1600 ton"; of butter. The season m the Waikato district has been exception,illy farourable, the growth of grass harsng been continuous. A co-operative cheese factory is about to be established at Mangararnarama, near Pahiatua. .Mr W. M. Singleton, of the dairy instruction staff, has inspected the locality, and approved a sritable site close to a stream. There are three butter factories wiihiu a radius of a few miles. We are informed by Mr W. Welch that the highest shade temperature recorded yesterday—a day of cold and biting wind—was p".i degrees, or only 21 degrees above freezing point. The minimum thermometer laat night fell 5 degrees below the freezing point. The night before it was eight degrees below. Mr A. 1). Thormoa, S.M., presided at the Police Court tins morning.

The West lV>a>t :s not likeh* to lose its reputation for rain, if the past fortnight is any criterion to go by (says the Greymouth Star). But to Otira' must we go for •' records/' Mr Dobsoa informs us that for eight days, from April — titli to May 3rd, the gauge recorded "Ml inches of rain, while at the top of the mountains the gauge show ed 2h inches less. On one day, April 27th. no less than eight inches of rain fell. The only thing that now prevents the formal opening of the Palmersfon North Museum is the non-arrival of some show ease?*. These were promised by the contractor for last week but hav<' not yet come to hand. It is hoped to open the museum in about a fortnight after the cases are received. It isproposed to mark the occasion by the holding of some sort of public function. \ cry liberal support has been accorded by townspeople, and others interested. The museum hm t»ot a good start on a lirm foundation, and promises to be very interesting and instructive. j According to ndviees recentlv to ] hand two British cruisers, which until lately were attached to the Australian station, hare been disposed of bv auction at .'Chatham Dockyard as obsolete vessels. H.AI.S. Mildura, a third ela«s cruiser of 2575 tons displacement, bruit of steel in IBS 9, at a cost of £116,065, was knocked down for £'720J r while H.M.b. Py hides, a th;rd class cruiser of 1420 tons displacement. built of timber, metal fastened, and copper sheathed, in the year iSSi, at a cost of XT»2,(X'K>, was purchased for the sum of £59tX) by the Shopbreaking Co., Ltd. Professor Van Xormati of the Indiana Experiment Station says that one gallon of milk of average density weighs s pounds *).$ ounces. This" will varr

slightly according to the amount of cream in it. The greater the proportion of cream the less will be the weight, as cream is lighter than the milk, In the weighing of cream, the percentage of tat counts iargely. If the cream eon. tamslS per cent, of butter-Fat it trill weigh 8 pounds and 0 ounces. If it contains .15 per cent, of fat it will weigh 8 pounds 3 ounces; 40 per cent., vS pouuds and I ounce. The Southland Time* states that a new development in connection with the local wool market has taken place lately. Several of the large Home manufactories have sent representa* itves to buy up wool from the fellmongmes, and as considerable qitantities of wool nre dealt with the consignment bucineiis will he materially j all acted.

The Government is negotiating for the purchase of large areas of native lan,lf m Waikato,Bay of Plenty, Hawke's l>ay, and other parts of tho colonv As showing the extent to which the "Maori land is Being brought into cultivation, it inay bo stated that with the Ohotu block, and ono or two other blocks which OA Ann ° en sea ® " ear Wanganui, about 20,000 acres of bush on native lands are being felled this winter. A married man named Robert Mitchell, while employed at Bartholomew's mill at Lovin, had the misfortune on Monday to be run over by a truck, a wheel of which passed over'his left arm and shoulder, severely crushing them. There are other injuries, the exaet extent of which is not yet known, and it is a miracle tho .unfortunate man was not killed immediately. Ho was conveyed to the Otaki hospital by the last train on Monday night, and now lies in a verv critical condition. Drs Clay and Ke..ii.edy held a consultation, and decided to amputate the aim, which was accordingly done. Both A ho Minister for Justice and the Inspccto? of Prisons state that there is not tho least occasion for tbe New South Wales Comptroller of Prisons to condemn the New Zealand system of employing prison gangs at tree planting. Mr McGowan states that the open air life the prisoners lead is a very healthy one. and tho prisoners enjoyed it, but the discipline at the camps was as strict as in the ease of a city prison. The prisoners were not allowed to associate with outsiders, and no one was allowed to visit a camp unless with a written authority. Colonel Hume, states that the practice followed in New Zealand is working well.

There was again a very L r < >o< I audience at the Opera House last evening, when Te llangi Pai and her concert par.'y gave their second song recital here. The audience was very enthusiastic and accorded encores to practically every number. l-Jarlv in. the evening Te Rangi Pai gave a truly delightful and sympathetic rendering of "The Lost Chord," and as an encore repeated " Nearer My God to Thee," with fine feeling. She received quite an ovation on the conclusion of her last number "Shepherds' Cradle Song. '' The auditors would not be satisfied by a simple bowing of her acknowledgements, but persisted until she returned to the platform and sang once again the touching aud beautiful _ Maori slumber song, "lline e lline,"' with which she made such an impression at the first concert. Prolonged cheers and hand clapping testified to genuine approval of the audience. The other members of the party were exceedingly well received. Miss Amy Murphy being in particular favor with t.ie audience. Mr Otto Hehuer, the public analyst, has- made an important report io die I-slc of Wight County Council m regard io the butter trade, as <he result or winch that authority has been in communication with ihe Board oi Agriculture and other County Councils. 'I lie report states : " I find myself in the unfortunate position of having to admit that at ihe present time butter is so skilfully and scientifically adulterated in factories controlled '•la-mists, or by persons who act under ihe instructions of chemists in jiouatK or in England under Dutch guidance, !, ut sold as ' Buckinghamshire,'' Devonshire,' ' Somersetshire, or other Jinglibn country produce, that analytical processes fidi definitely to trace the admixture. • • The butter trade in the large cities, like hondon, of which I can speak with t e i-ost intimate experience, is consequently at the present time in an unsatisfactory, not to say corrupt, condition, hut unfortunately there is little hope o escape, except by Government interference."
