(Vrlaiiily (m tlie lace of them, tke proposed dairy regulations (savs the Wellington Times) will appear formidable lu Iho man who has unsatisfactory prcioi-es, hut the regulations have been ha.sed not to enforce iinmcdbilel.v. tueve,, iii the near future, hut rather an ''''■■' l »'"ich it is desired l„ j,,,,, ; ,|, !-''-"l I.v educating the m ilk producer I" --'tluiii ll.c sl.iiHlaril sol up. and which, under proper conduct of the industry, should 1„.

The whole object of lii,'. regulation* is to educnlo tke producer, not to harass him. As ,1 matter of fact, Ike old regulations, still i?i force, gave the Department a much more powerful lever to harass the farmer had if desired to do so, l.ut Hies,, regulations have Ix'en in force for years and we liayie heard nothing of 'the great hardships indicted on farmers which it is declared by the Auckland critics the modified form will bring about. Dairy farmors. in general can rely on the Department of Agriculture to administer (lie Act in connection with their industry—and all the Department's measures are nothing if not educational—in a wise and be-ic'-' ficial manner. It is nnlv tkose who absolutely refuse to make' an atlemot to improve their methods, and by their neglect are a drag on their ■neighbors anil on tke industry, w'lm have any-' thing al all to fear f n)l „ U„, proposed regulations.

The Unkura Hairy Co. has disposed of its September-April output of butler to Messrs. Collelt and Co.

If pigs are carrid through the winter they can he kept growing and can liui-a olf for market on the peas, and the cost of feed will seem very small.

The Jloa Dairy Co. has sold ifsi season's output nt a first-class figure, 'but al present tke liliyer does not'wish, to 1.e.. the price divulged. A meeting of persons inleresiod was held at Mrs. Xatlrnss's residence. -Wellington ihe other il.iv in order to witness „ deiiionsfi-atku'i of a" churn patented by Mr Xatlr.'iss. and which is ".bom. to be placed on tke market. If is claimed by the patentee that the chum will make butter j„ live mhmles in any climate, and this was home out by the demonstration, as we are informed that butler was procured in less than tke lime staled. Tile patent is simple, tke whole secret being compression and suction. Similar dcimonstralions will be given at dill'er--0111 place* later ,r;i. ' A company is being formed to place the churn o.i the market.
