HOLSTEINS.
PRICES OP BUTTER. That Taranaki-bred Holsteins do remarkably well in Waikato is shown by the following reference to the subject .in the N.Z. “Dairyman”:—“lt is now reported that'Mr W. R. Wright’s herd of the Black and Whites, numbering one hundred and fifty head, and which has been supplying the glaxo factory at Matangi, headed all the suppliers’ herds for high test. With their noted heavy milking qualities, this herd must have proved highly profitable- to their owner, as Matangi paid out 2s 4d per lb for fat for the past season. Twenty of these cattle came from, the Carrington road, and the balance from the owner’s •farm at Rahoiu. Matangi is the largest dried milk factory in the world, and is situated on the railway lino«between Hamilton and Cambridge, and it is confidently anticipated that 2s 5Jd will be paid out this year.”
