The Kaupokanui Dairy Company paid 1/34 per lb for last season's butter fat. Its store operations showed a loss of £2796 on the year.

For the first time for a lengthened period beet' is again being shipped from the Wairoa (Hawke’s Bay) works, the Koau taking away 743 quarters. The Rata Dairy Company has sold its output to the end of September at such a price as to enable it to pav 1/9 for butterfat.

“Like men with their heads in bags was the, expressive simile used at the annual meeting of the Kaituna Dairy Company concerning dairy farmers who did not have their cows tested.

Mr John Coull announces his candidature for the Wanganui seat at the forthcoming election as a supporter of Mr Massey. The datei of the election may be gauged from the fact that the Reform Party have booked the Opera Mouse for the evening of Tuesday, December 12.—Herald.

The death is reported of Sister Ma lachi (nee Kitty Burke) of the Sacred Heart Convent, Wanganui.

“The smell from horses, I suppose you wall agree,” asked Mr W. T. Young of a witness in the seamen’s dispute at. Wellington, “is about 200 per cent less than that from bullocks or sheep on board ship?” The witness said he could not say what the percentage of difference was. “Well, at any rate,” suggested Mr Young, “it is very much worse in comparison.” “Oh, yes,” replied the witness. “1 know r ,” broke in the president of the court (Mr Justice Frazer) “that sheep are not exactly violets at sea.”

At a recent annual meeting cl shareholders in a certain Manawatu dairy company, four of the original directors were rejected and new men put in their places. The defeated directors evidently considered that it they \vere not good enough to remain on the Board the company would have no need* of their financial backing. They therefore withdrew their joint and several guarantees at the bank, with the result that when the 20th oi the month came the suppliers did not get their milk cheques! It is stated that the signatures of all the shareholders are now r required to the guarantee before the needful finance will be available.

A motion was enthusiastically carried at a big conference of Friesian breeders at Palmerston North, con-

gratulating Mr Vernon Marx, of Mangatoki, upon the great record established by his Friesian cow, Alcartra Clothiide Pieije, which was the first cow ol' any breed in Australasia to produce 10001 b of butterfat in one season. No cow of anv other breed had produced a similar amount of butterfat in 12 moil ills, whereas Mr Marx’s

champion had given slightly more than 10001 bof fat in 10 months. The chairman (Mr C. E. Robertson) stat-

ed that he had recently inspected this fine cow in the company of Mr W. D. Hunt, the president of the New Zealand Friesian Association. She promised to give over 30.0001 b ol' milk and about 11401 b of fat in the full 12 months. Moreover, she would calve again within 30 days of finishing her test. This cow had never been housed, but fan out- with other cows on her owner’s farm throughout "the year. Under the conditions of this test her performance was a world’s record for all breeds. It was decided to endeavour to arrange with the owner to have his co.w on exhibition at the Manawatu Spring Show. Mention was also made of the fact that a heifer in Taranaki, which had milked in only three quarters throughout the year, promised to finish up her year’s test with a production of about 8001 b ( fat. This would also be a record for all breeds, and was an astounding performance in the circumstances.
