FARM AND DAIRY.

A USKKUL SUGGESTION'. At I hi' meeting nl' Ihe li.uvera Uairy Company, Mr I [iiricv advocated I lie formation of ;iu association anion"; farmers, whereby cull cows could bo taken on a given date to a given place, there to he taken charge of by drovers to lie taken direct to the I'alca works, which would mean, ho said. Unit fanners would get full value for their culls, instead of bringing them into the yards and 'having to take whatever ihey could get for them. It was resuhed to mM up a committee to confer with reprcsentativeis of other dairy companies in the 'district to see what could be done in this matter. FANCY CHKESK. In the manufacture of various kinds of j fancy cheese an inportant industry may I foe fostered in New Zealand. This is the j opinion of Miss ST. Davis, Government (dairying instructress, who is visiting |Auckland. Miss Davis arrived in the Dominion from England about 12 months ago, and lias visited different centres in | New Zealand, instructing managers of factories aid dairies in the manufacture of fancy cheese. Miss Davis told a New 'Zealand Herald representative that fancy cheese was made in large quantities in Kngland. Wales and on the Cottinent, and it commanded a large sale. "Prior to my arrival in New Zealand only Cheddar cheese has been manufactured, but wherever I have,been the manufacture of fancy cheese 'has been gone in for keenly. The demand for this cheese is growing, and the demand for the article in Auckland, is at present greater than the quantity that is being made. It is the i=,ame in other towns in the Domin'ion that I have visited. I think a large, trade can be fostered hero. The factories will manufacture this fancy cheese as a j side line, and as the article that can bo | produced in New Zealand is as good as 'that manufactured at Home and on the .Continent, there should he a good demand for it, and T think there are good I possibilities of establishing an export , I trade. Everywhere I have been I have observed that the dairying industry is 'going ahead in New Zealand. New factories are being established everywhere, and the introduction of this new branch of the cheese industry will soon become an important feature." The different kinds of fancy cheese that Miss Davis has introduced are: —Little Welsh. Miniature. Cream, Club (English), Coulommier, font L'Eveque, and Gervais • (French.)
