D.-vir.y factories have now got beyond the experimental stage ia Now Zealand. Judiciqusly sfcaiteil in suitable situations, managed by competent and expeuencqd poison*, ami supported by the settlers }n the dishict, ibey have over nnd over again pioyed an excellent investment and a most valuable industry. The value or co-operation is b.eing more and more recognised in nearly all the. persuits of life, and the benefits it confers i$ very maiked in connection with dairying persuils. Amongst other advantages that might be advance. l in favour of dairy fudoiies we may mention the following : The buildings are built .specially f<>y the purpose, and as a mle commodious and suitable for propetlv carrying on i lie work ; and such as the individual milk supplieis would not be warranted in going to the expense of erecting. Thenthereistheimmensebenefitof |iaving a propel ly qualified manager j to take contiol \ also the advantage of all the most modem appliances, which would be quite beyond the means of small dairies to puu'lifise. Refciring io the advantage of improved machinery and appliances, one cannot pass ovci that invention that has wrought such benefits in connection with the daily industry — the ceultifugiil cream separator. This most valuable invention does away with the trouble and expense of setting the milk in pans for (he cream to rise, lhcexpen.se of providing pans, as a matter of course being avoided, much loss of time unavoidable under the old system of working is saved ; it permits of the skim milk being utilised whilst sweet, aijd a more thorough separation of the cream from the milk is ensured than is obtainable by the old system ; whilst yet another advantage is that by its use the milk is purified and any exhaneona matter thrown out. Since 1877, when these machines were fist invented, they have been greatly improved and brought to a wonderM state of perfection. By the help of these machines it is possible to separate the cream frun the fresh milk a* soon ns it comes from the cow. The effect of warm weather, Wty milk rooms, bad odoms, infections by microscopic organisims, etc., which gave so much trouble heretofore are almost done away with, and the anxiety lest milk should become ?our, a thing of the past. Uniform excellence of quality of the product is also obtainable by careful factory management, such as is out of the question wljere the product is the manufacture of a number of different dailies. In fact to pioceed to enumerate the many advantages that could he adduced in favour of daiiy factories would be a big undertaking. We would, however, refer to one or two other points in its forour, such as the graat boon to the milk suppliers of being able to rely on >eai?y rnonfy payments every month. We all know and appreciate prompt cash payments in every business. The saving of labour is also very great. With the exception of the actual milking of the cows, two or three hands in a well arranged factory are capable of doing the woik accomplished in a number af-smaH dairies, and of doing it more efficiency. Th,e first introduction of the system of dairy factoties oiiginated. in America, in 1851, with a Mr "Williams, pf Rome, N.Y., and the system has continued to grow in every direction ever c ince, nnd in America at the present time on<* expert often lus the supervision of quite a number of factories. In this way the very best skill available is obtained. And it must be allowed that whilst occasionally export butter and cheese makers ar.e to be found in family dairying, such ia the exception rather than the rule. By a number of fanners uniting, to supply milk under the factory py?tem better results are therefoie obtainable in every way. No on.T makes much progress by working alone — union is strength. We are greatly phased to Know the proposal to es tabli^h a milk factory in this diatriit (at Waihou), has been taken up with so much heartiness. We trust the Committee will spaie no efforts to ca»ry the matter thiou&h to a successful issue. All the elements of success ai.e present, and the establishment of a dairy factory (whether it he a ' creamery' or for the manufacture of condensed milk), would prove a great boon to all concerned.

Mr Walker, tlie contractor for the Manchester Sfyip Canal, believes }n ' teetotal ' n .vvies ub the best workers. The conl hulk which the otjier duy »i rived at Katikati harbour, for tho Wuihi Gold Mining Qpmpuijy, brought 250 tona of coal, England's biggest ship has fouiteen thousand horse- power. The new French army law extends tho aq;o of li.ibiiity to service from forty-fivo > eais to fifty. The Tauranga Countj Engineer inspected and passed nine >niles q£ Thompson's Tiack cm Wednesday last, an.d ho considers that tho work has been well done by thp cpntractor, Mr \y. J.Gray. We direct attention to the advertisement of Messw li. H. Abbjott and Co., diapers and clothier.^ p£ Auckland, which will bo found in our columns to-day. On Saturday last Mr J«s. Craig 1 had a very successful sale at Waiorongomai, of goods of eveiy desctiption, in the assigned estate pi! Mr W, §. Collins ; very sati&fqo tory prices being realised. T-he latest particulars to hand with respect \.o the recent crushing of the fiial ton of silver ore from Puhipuhi ; at Waiorongomai, is to the effect that tho actual result was 1740z of silver and I3d wts gold; nut 2740z, as previously reported.

The sen ice was a vpiy hearty one, members of all the denominations being present. It is to be hoped efforts will be made to frequently have evangelistic soiviceK in the Public Hail, as it was nmplv demonstrated on Sunday evening that the^ r would Up well ••ttendfcd . It is espected the Waihi Gold Mining Oomp.'in}' will again staifc crushing very shortly. The process is as follows : Tho quartz is first roasted, then bioken by a stone breaker, after this it is crushed by sta.inpe.v, and then roasted in a rotary furnace, after which it goes through a process in a number of pans. The quantity of qu.ll l/, required will be very large, and Messrs Brooks, Savage and Hewitt have taken a contiact to deliver 2000 tons of qumtz at the battery at 7* per ton. Mr Russell, the Manager, is reported to say that as soon as he starts he will require eighty miners. The Victoiian dairy industry, says the Melbourne Age, represents annually £2,972,090, or more than doable tli it of the production of its gold mines. Farmcis, who regarded themselves aa ruined not very long ago are now making a srti.s factory income by their daily pr>duce. lihe Colony is regaided as pccu'i.uly a.daptrd to the manufacture of condensed and concentrated milk.
