The Wairarapa Daily. FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1882. CHEESE AND BUTTER FACTORIES.

It is gratifying to find that settlors in tho Cartorton, Taratahi, and Gladstono neighborhoods proposo to follow the example set by tlie Greytown small farmers and establish: a butter and cheese factory. In- Carterton especially such a movement is a wise one, in anticipation of the gradual but sure reduction of the timber supply on which the district has thrived for so many years. As the bush, year 1$ year, is cleared away, the importance of making the most of tlw land on which it grew cannot be overestimated, and it is quite possible that more money may in many instances ho made off the grass crops than has been obtained from the rich .totara' harvest. When jeeps ten or twelve years hence this neighborhood .ceases to be a timber district, it will be a gratifying circumi stance if, by the development .of otKer industries, the present population and its natural increment catircontiuue to live ajid 'flourish' oh old homesteads. Of the immediate direct profit obtainable from cheese and butter factories there may he some slight doubt., The practice of co-operation is not'as-yet so fully understood and appreciated in this district;, as it ought to 'be, and without its aid the best results cannot be obtained in stich' ail enterprise. Still the starting of a factory and the placing of a plant in a centre of population means sotting a ball in motion which will roll and gather as it moves. The,,direct profit will only be a question l ofnii»e and the indirect advantages will be.palpable from the first, The new refrigerating system is tho goose that is tioMavi our golden eggs, and cheese: afidibutter factories are at least-;a\wing;!'of the bird, An even and marketable'quality of butter and cheese cannot'be obtained from private dairies, and there is a risk of failure in sending dairy produce |to London unless it is of a character that will commend the Colony to the home consumers. With a sure and permanent outside market the more factories established in the ; Wairavapa the better, Each new enterprise of this description is more, an • assistant than a rival to its "predecessors. It is a|so worthy of, .consideration; whether Mastei.ton should stand ajoof from jamovement which has been takon up by Featherston, Greytown, and Carterton. This town should in our opinion consider the question of a local factory and if the project is deemed iiieicpedient it should at loast lend a helping hand to start one atMauriceville-j-a district in every respect suited /for such a venture. . ■' !

The programme opened with! a piano duet between Misses Thompson and E. Perry, which ivas played in excellent time and tune. Mr Lowes led off wiib the solos, giving the" Charge of the Light Brigade" in a way which roused the audience to demand an encore. Miss Niool, who followed with " The Sham--rock," secured a similar compliment.' Then came thespeoialjiy of tije evening—a duet on two pianos. Mrs Paige and Miss Oorhett at one instrument, and Miss Morison and Miss Best at the other,, With such skilled pianistes the somewhat difficult feat of harmonising the instruments was ncjomplinhed without the slightest apparent difficulty, and the audience testified its admiration if the exploit in the usual manner. Mr Stevenson favored the company with a couple of those hallos • which he renders with bo much taste and expression, the house not permitting him to limit himself to the on# on the programme. Mrs Keith followed with a Bong which was rendered with artistic power and skill, and Mr F. G Moore scored his oustomary triumph with " Near thee.!" Mr Gant gave two fine songs, " The fog bell" and " In shadow land, and has seldom been heard to more advantage than on this occasion, rising far above the ordinary level of amateur performances. Miss Mason was very successful with' The wishing cip,' and the pleasing manner with which she rendered it evoked the invariable enoore. Onß of the surprises of the evenl ing was ft. recitation from ■ Master Benneti , a pupil in the Masterton public school, who gave " Davids lament over Absalom" with a clearness of intonation and a correctness of expression which was creditable to both pupil and teaoher, Mr Dalrymple gave a reading from one of his favorite Sootch authors, and the comid element of the programme was admirably sustained by Mr Rapp, who was forced •by the hearty applauaa of the audiene'e into giving 4 second song. The usual' glees .were sung and were, as they alwayd are, very well received. J
