NIREAHA.
(From Our Own Correspondent). Wednesday. The Nireaha Cheese Company are matting the usual advance for December, viz., 8d per lb of butter fat. The following are the "record month" payment in each year since the inception of the Company. The table gives a very good indication of the progress of the district ■ during the five years : 1905, £331 6s 2d, December advance; 1906, £525 0s 9d, December advance; 1907, £B2B 2s 6d, December advance; 1908, £1,002 0s Bd, December advance; 1909, £1,284 12s 2d, December advance. The latter amount is being paid out today. Our weather has not improved since I wrote last. Haymaking and harvesting operations are being carried,on under great difficulties. Several nice crops of hay have been entirely ruined and most of tbe hay that has been saved is inferior, having been blackened by the wind and rain. We are losing next month one of our settlers, Mr Eade, who has sold his farm to Mr Ticehurst, of Carterton. The metalling of the MangatainokaParkville deviation is now completed, and is a great convenience to settlers, especially those living at Putara. The work at the mills in the district is at a standstill.
