FARM AND DAIRY.

ECMONT A. & iP. ASSOCIATION'S DAIRY HERD COMPETITION. The remits of this competition 'have (states tlie Star) had to be revised, owing, in the first place to the fact that the Association's steward, in counting Mr. Parry's herd, had not included one cow, which was dried off early in the season, and by the Association's rule all :o\vs on the farm must lie counted. In regard to the second prize winner, Mr. Hodge, his returns were received from the factory as totals only, but on going into the matter it was found that the June milk had been included, whereas the conditions state that th tion ends with the May n„„.. .„.. Marx's herd numbered 81, not G3 as reported, and his average goes i ingly. Tne figures have been readjusted, but the relative places of the co '■■■'—- have not been altered, t'he oi dice ueing in the average retii As-:oi'i:ition regret the errors extremely, but they think it as well to publish the correct average-, in fairness to the competitors, and also as a matter of interest to the dairy fanners of the district. They trust to receive good support this year. The conditions have been slightly amended and made much clearer. The following are the corrected averages: — ■P, T. Parry, £l7 os 7d per cow; H. Hodge, £.l7* 4s 5d per cow; G. C. Marx £IC 6s 2dser cow.
