AMALGAMATION OF BUTTER FACTORIES.

To the Editor. ■Sir, —lender the above heading "J. Rickard," in your issue of the 14th inst.,-; wishes to give me the credit, for the idea of 'centralising the butter industry; lie says 1 do not understand the subject; he asks for. facts and figures, and claims to be able to stigmatise the idea as pure imagination. I do not intend to ask space to argue the matter with' "J. liickard"—my former letters are sufficient reply, and if lie understood as he read (1 hardly think he "has" read them) he would see there was no occasion for his effusion, but the admission of being of "'frail mind," and which lie assumes the whole of the dairy farmers to have, accounts for a great deal. I would advise him and others of the "frail mind", that latter-day science lias shown that all • tilings frail cim be improved by exercise —one can'never get much use from mind or mu&ele that is atrophied, and if fanners do not go beyond the four cornerposts of their sections for mind exercise —well, God help the country! Would I be asking too much for the insertion of: i the following newspaper cuttings, which, I 'believe, aptly . fit, as .showing the immediate need there is for a broadening of the perception of the "frail mind" farmer? Thanking/you in anticipation.—l am, etc., JOE B. SIMPSON.; \ Durham road, March 15. (Enclosures). : , "Were I a. magician," said his Excels lency the Governor at the .MastertijnShow, "I would endeavor; to induce to these shores ift McDonald• or a Carnegie 1 ; and get him to-establish-a great centre for agriculturalists.in this country forthe young men of the next generation, to equip themselves to compete in the conij-', mcrce of the future. I cannot conceive a greater boon than that which McDonald conferred on Canada, and: which has been conferred on Africa—-a scientific and practical centre for agriculturalists." His Excellency the Qpverftor is a great advocate of : organisation and co-opera-tion in the farming industry. Addressing the concourse of agriculturalists at the Masterton show tin Wednesday week, he declared that,organisation was' tine of'tjie - necessities of modern times. Ireland was one of the bist examples of a country being retrieved from depression by the astablithment ' ofi co-operative industries. The same thing was taking place in England. He thought,it Would be worth the while of -Xe.w Zealand farmers to look iho the British system of co-operation. New. Zealand had 'scattered over tjie - country a number of: isolated factories a" ftoing excellent work. It;was a question whether, as time developed, would not be brought to better use by being under one central organisation. . illE ORIGIN OF THE MAORT. To the Editor. k' r > I quite coincide with vour cor-respondent-!'C.W.W."- in'his views as to the Maori originally coming from the land of the .Jqw.i ".There are some verv lemarkable facts which go to\yards identifying the Maori ,with .the Jewish race, 'oi instance, their facial expression .(color, of course, excepted). I am not altogether prepared to give an intelligent explanation of- this point of diver, gence; others may. T,hen, again, they perfoim a certain right or ordinance answering to circumcision which is practised on the child wl)en eight days old, according to the Jewish Mosaic ceremonial' law. Again, they have their prophets and their King-Mahuta. Furthermore, their idolatrous superstition, practices, viz., carved-idols, such as fishbirds, serpents and the host of heaven, answer m the most exact manner to the Ih! 1 7 ° r « ra , el - Are tl,c .V. d " vou think, part of the ten lost tribes?
