DAIRYMEN'S MEETING.

ADDRESS BY MR KINSELLA. INVERCARGILL, February 5. The annual gathering of the Dairy Faotorymen was held at the Bluff, to-day, when the Government graders, Messrs Sawyers and Singleton, tested a cheese and explained the process. This evening a meeting was held in Invercargill, when Mr Kinsella, Dairy Commissioner, gave an address, After an absence of three years, he found very great improvement in the make of Southland oheese. From a factory poin t of view he did not thjnk there could be much improvement. It must be locked for in the direction of a better milk supply. In the matter of dairy inspection they were not much further ahead than six years ago. That branch was not under his oontrol. It had been suggested that the cows should be taxed for inspection,the Department paying as muoh as would make up the salaries of the inspectors, but much would depend on the qualification of the men appointed. The factories in the South should be better equipped for ouring cheese. He urged the necessity for an experimental station, with a library. Fewer cows and better ones had proved a marvellous suooess in Denmark, and should be tried here. Cows came in "to profit" too poor to be of much good. In connection with the sale of produce in Great Britain every effort should be made to sell through the same channel every year to the same consumers.
