A CREAMERY FOR TAMAHERE.

The impression seems to have somehow got abroad that Mr C. Day, of Tamahere, has relinquished the idea of starting a creamery in that district this season, it therefore gives us much pleasure to be able to announce that the only difficulty which stands in the way is a good and abundant supply of water, and that Mr Day feels confident he will have obtained in the course of a few days. The settlers can rest assurer] that a creamery will be in full swing at Tamahere in time for the spring milk, and that the business will be managed on similar lines to those adopted at other creameries, niimely, that cheques for the month's supply will be paid early in the following one. Of course, many of the farmers will not be prepared to furnish a large supply this season ; but we feel sure this is the commencement of an extensive and, we trust, a lucrative busiues3 for the Tamahere farmers. We know some of the large farmers do not relish the idea of milking cows for a creamery, but we would point Out that the establishment of the industry will enhance the value of their lands fully £1 per acre, and they can reap a direct benefit by sub-dividing their farms and selling them. Mr Day is not the man to embark in a business that ho does not understand ; his operations in the dairying industry have, for a considerable time, been extensive, and his produce has already established a reputation second to none ; therefore the suppliers may depend upon Retting the utmost value for their milk, as his (Mr Day's) milk will be treated and be paid for exactly the same as that of the other suppliers. That the farmers have every confidence in Mr Day is demonstrated by the fact that he has already been approached about starting three other creameries in neighbouring districts, one of them being Hautapu.
