Opposition is the life of the frozen meat trade, as of other enterprises. Circulars were lately distributed in Wairarapa district to the effect that the Dunedin Freezing Company has received an offer of a fast steamer for six consecutive trips, carrying 35,000 sheep each voyage at a freight which would mean to the shipper Id and 6-Bth per lb and 5 per cent, primage per sheep, as compared with the freight of 2d per lb and 10 per cent, primage hitherto paid on a 7?lb sheep.

The delivery of milk at the Waikato Cheese Factoiy htm risen till, on Monday last, it had reached 770. gallons, or fKty gallons more than was received on any d.iy last season. This industry, which at first was looked on soinewli.it doubt fully by the fanneis, is making givat headway, and two or three new cheese factories are spoken of as likely to be staited in the district in readiness for next year's operations. The profit per head per cow is large, and the return obtained with the lowest amount of labour, while th*> pjice obtained for the milk is cash, and certain. Perhaps none benefit moie than the wives and families of the f.srmeip, the drudgery of the dairy becoming a thing of the past.
