The Wairarapa Daily. TUESDAY, OCTOBER, 30, 1888. The Model Working Dairy.

i Ai agricultural shows in England " the model working dairy" is a lead nig attraction, As a matter of course, it is a feature of the Melbourne Exhibition, and in due time itwill rnako its appearance in New Zealand, and possibly bo exhibited oven in rMusterton.. The model working dairy consists of all the newest appliances for ' the production of butter. There are tho Do Laval and Turbine cream ■ separators, chums, and other apparati. More the eyes of the curious visitor the cans of milk are delivered measured and weighed. Then the 1 milk is either heated or cooled as , may be required and run into the separator, The cream is then, put into the, churn, aijdr about, tjiirty or forty miiiutes elapjo before- the churning is"' completed, antl the newly mado butter goes into the butter workers, Every point essential to the production of first-class butter is explained by a practical expert aud illustrated by the model plant, Mr Carniaif, a Miwtorton farmei'i wli'o lias recently visited England, and lias seen the model working dairylhere, tolls lis that though he hadprevioiisly considered that be understood how . to make first-class butter, ho was ' compelled to admit %| there were essential points in its uiamifaflture of which he was quite ignorant until he saw the process at a modol dairy. In England the now methods are revolutio}ii?ijig the butter trade, Tho article turned out oj) the principle to which wo havo referred is worth three pence per lb more than the ordinary farm product. Tho butler made at those model dairies is never once touched by the hand of the of the dairyman, and its keeping qualities is decidedly enhanced by this precaution.! Practically, all the butter sent from Now Zealand to England is inferior, because it .is not made under such conditions as are found essential to it keeping fresh and pure. If wo made pur butter in New Zealand ■ under such conditions, Mit Cahmast feels sure that it would al-' ways command a Ugh price in the English markpt. He .estimates that in.this neighborhood alouo at least a thousand ,cpws a«riurned cut because it days jifli pay to milk tip.'
