' i ' AN IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY. SKVKRAL TARANAKI OTUSRSSES. (By Wire.—Special Reporter.) Paimerston .V., Last Night. Prospects for the I'almerston .Show, which opens to-morrow, look good. The weather is cold but threatening, and the town is crowded with visitors. Butter and cheese wore judged to-day by olliccrs of the Dairy Department. There are splendid entries in each class, and the exhibits are well staged. The quality all round is good, and the judges are well pleaswl with the uniformity of butter. The cheese, compared with last year, shows a great improvement in quality, a noticeable feature being the closeness of body, such a necessary feature in cheese for export. Last year openness was a noticeable feature, but the managers evidently have overcome that. In butter Awahuri was the most successful, winning three classes and the championship, and thus maintaining its reputation put up at-Hamilton and X'ew Plymouth. Levin, Cheltenham, and Thames Valley also won classes. Omata Jensen) won in the class for the best box of butter from home separated cream.
