THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.
PROSPECTS IN AUCKLAND. AUCKLAND, August 23. After an extraordinarily mild winter, during which dairying operations in the province never really ceased, the spring is opening with abundance of forage throughout the country, and in consequence dairy factories are already getting busy. The beginning of next month will see the industry -in full swing again ; indeed, had due attention been paid to the value of ensilage feeding dairying would have been carried on sufficiently to supply all the local markets during the winter without recourse to storage. Cows are coming in already, and several of the butter factories will be in full operation before the end of this month ; in fact, some are even now making considerable quantities of butter. Given average climatic conditions it is certain that Auckland's •butter export for the season just commencing will be very heavy, because dairy farms established at the com-
mencement of last season are now coming along witk^jne^eased,, supplies, and dairy herds have "been increased in the , older settled districts. I >•' ' ' ' : '■
