Both the Nircaha and the Rongokoltako cheese companies have decided to instal pasteurisers in their factories.

Tho heavy rain which fell throughout the Wairarapa on Thursday night has had a.stimulating effect upon pasturea and root crops.

Tho inability of the freezing works to cope with stock is (says the Pahi*tua Herald) causing something of a flutter in the fat stock market in tho Pahiatua district, and many growers are flinging their finished lines on the market in an endeavour to get quit of them on the best terms possible. By all the rules of tho game this means that n fall in fat stock is to be expected unless unexpected developments take place at the works.
