DOMINION SHOW.

I' SECOND DAY. I GOOD POULTRY EXHIBITS.

The Hawera Show was continued yesterday. The weather conditions were ■ much more favorable, and the attendance, despite the suspension of the ordinary train service, was quite satipfactory. The milking machines and other mechanical exhibits had a special value to the dairy farmer. Instructively the show was undoubtedly far in advance of any of its predecessors. The poultry were judged yesterday, and this section came in for a great deal of attention, few visitors failing to inspect the fine collection of birds, The scene throughout the building was more animated. The Hawera hatchery had its usual exhibit, showing the processes by which ova is dealt with until ready for liberation. Among the interesting exhibits were lighting and heating plants suitable for farmers and others' far removed from the benefits of the most favored town lighting systems. A new kind of pasteuriser was exhibited; also a device attachable to a milking releaser plant to facilitate cow-testing.

In the class for best garden note book there were two entries which had to be passed over by the judge, because the competitors, being high school pupils, were not eligible to compete, but it was decided to create a special class, so that these entries could be considered, and in this class Ray Hooker (New Plymouth) was awarded first prize, the judge's comment being that the book was neat and the work very carefully done.

THE HUIA AUTOMATIC MILK. WEIGHING MACHINE.

,'The dairy farmer, whatever his experience and position may be, is always Jaced with trouble from either labor shortage or finance. The advent of the "releasing plants" relieved the' former considerably, but they brought with them grave disadvantages; for with these plants without considerable extra ;i work, impossible to obtain the individual ;;worth of each cow. Thus the farmer is prevented from carrying out culling, 'which is so necessary in the building up of a herd.

.The automatic milk-weighing machine allows the farmer having the releasing plant to know what each cow is giving. The clock-dial indicator allows this to be read off without the slightest increase ot work. While the weight of each individual cow's milk is r important, it is not .sufficient without'the butterfat test. This is allowed for in this machine. By means of a simple device on the side a true sample of the milk is taken- simultaneously with the weighing. The strippings are taken into account, for with the machine go two carefully-graduated glass flasks fitted with glass taps. By means of these a proportion of strippings relative to that of the sample above is obtained; by mixing the two a true sample of the whole milk is acquired. It is evident, therefore, that the farmer may compute the production of each cow per week, month or season, and so cull on the only reliable basis. The machine is specially constructed for cleanliness; it may be "put together" or "taken down"-in a few minutes; thus each part is capable of being thoroughly and separately cleaned. No special fittings are required to attach this to a releasing plant, so the farmer may use it continuously or intermittently, as is desired, without causing | extra trouble.

> The machine will fill a long-felt want in the dairying industry, for by it a i«me£ wiiLincreftse ayt o% fau :gS j 3 j[,

ing capacity, but also the butterfat production per acre. On the last fact and that only can the success of a' dairy farmer be gauged. Mr. J. C. Cawsey, of Hawera, is the inventor of this useful patent. Leading members of the farming community in inspecting this machine speak very highly of it, and all agree that it fills a long-felt want. Further enquiries may be made from P.O. Bos 157, Hawera. **

PURE PRODUCTS COMPANY. The Pure Products Company, a manufacturing concern which carries on business in Hawera, had a large stall at the show for the exhibition of the materials they manufacture, in the form of soaps and other substances for which there is is wide and regular demand. These included Fairy Wonder dry soap, Sinus milking machine cleanser, Sinus factory cleanser, Lancashire boiler composition, Lancashire belt conditioner, Wonder radiator compound and soda crystals. The uses to which these .products may be put are fairly well indicated by their names. On appearances, the soda crystals are the best that could be produced, The boiler composition prevents ruat or scale in boilers, the radiator compound prevents rust in motor radiators, and the belt conditioner prevents belts on machinery from slipping. With the Fairy Wonder dry soap much of the unpleasantness associated in the minds j of women with washing day is Temoved. A compound known as factory cleanser is for rough dairy'work, and by its use articles can be cleaned thoroughly and j quickly without waste of energy. Another cleanser used for milking machines has been specially prepared so that while the work is done effectively, no injury is done to the rubber. The company started in business about twelve months ago in Princes Street, but owing to many difficulties which had Ho be« faced it was not until about three months ago that they were in a position to place their 'products on the market in any quantity. Once in full working order, and in a position to meet demands, orders began to come in freely, and since April no less than 2000 cases, with an average weight of three-quarters of a hundredweight, havo been placed on the market, and apparently purchasers are well satisfied with the products, for many repeat orders have been received. All that the company sells }s manufactured in its own faetory, where it has a large staff in the charge of a man who alone understands the various processes by wliich the soaps, etc., are made. It has been necessary for the company to have as part of the works a box factory where all cases used in packing the goods are made. The products are got up in neat packages, which are labelled with direc-' tions for use. The business of the company is extending rapidly, and already orders are coming in from distant centres. The secretary of the company is Mr. F. W. Wilson," of Wilson and Holder, who have offices in High Street. *•
