FARM AND DAIRY.
Writes our Tariki correspondent: "An indignant dairyman took the oppor-1 tunity, jitter Mr. iliiie's address, of ex-1 pressing his opinion on the dairy regulations. lie said that lieeause fanners had ventured to hold meetings in different centres and express their disapproval they had been accused of 'howling.' lie took exception to the word. Dairy fanners might be regarded as dogs by a certain section of the community. lie couldn't help having /lis suspicions that the Government were | rather inclined to view them a.s such; I at any rate, they proposed putting them 011 the chain, and even had the cheek to propose charging thciit will] the cost as well. Continuing, lie pointed out that dog-i could do other things besides 'howl'—they could barik, growl, and--well, fanners were not howling or balking, but they were growling, and if teased too inucli might .possibly bite., Being of si peaceable disposition, he did not advocate chewing, but thought it was time they showed the Government they had teeth, and if inspected too closely they might snap."
