I noticed a report i'ri'tbe ldoalpapftr'tf o,fj'Bqme r ,ev ( idpn<!e r given before, theOonimittee;- W sentence or observation vith which I entirely disagree, It was as follows, sp?a]fflgl.M f N6w; Zealand cheese, "and not put in. witli' : '-Canadian or American." I take it to mean that New Zealand <'clieese would not compete with either, I say it will

be put in competition with both; and with every other class of cheese made and shipped to the English market for sale. And why not compete? I am sure you can produce an article in cheese, which -can, and will hold

its own and make its way intho English consumption, You have advantages in your soil and pasturage the peculiarities of which are apparently highly lavorable to the production of a first class article, and will certainly make its way very i largely into consumption; and will ultimately be used in parts- of-tttont Britanfwhere indeed at; the present: moment?it-has notbeeivheard'ofiJjtf

some changes were made in the get up or Btyle in whioh they are shipped; and put in a more attractive 'tform! Would it not be possible to establish a Cheese •Box,,faotpry>tho same as. they have' in r wriada 'dr Amenta ? The goods would prpper form for holding, 1 ' 'getting on, or shipping, I proaume that ultimajejy 'ete : %^ : ,&%Mj/ in your dairy l " ! pro'dubtsi' ; ' if I remember rightly 81b of be made for one of butter, I'imow some Canadian and American makers do this, when a ohcesq maker is engaged purtly upon the output of weight for a given quantity, of, milk, supplied to the factory. There is 1 also' mu i gli.--lqss i .risk with ,oheese. Jhan butter, and 'w.Hh,out"douMoheoso will put moat money into - ' the produoers and dealers. Kit was reported correctly something was"said before the Committee that.you.were aboutperfect in the malting of cheese' Quito so, this applies i , bnly(t(^some J M but not to,all,far from'lt. I would* ask tlio question,, account sales received here warrant this conclusion? There surely must he different prices for different 18fe, as I have seen in Liverpool 10s f&4'oV per owt., variation ir] vftlups of New Zealand. bhVese',' "T'do.ultl carry v you mtq sections .where there are coin-

of factories which sell altogether,orwake, contracts,all at one price, the production- being so equal in quality as to value, and no man who thoroughly understands the goods could make a difference of more than Is or Is Cd per cwt, right through some of the great cheese produoing sections of Canada. Ido not think you have arrived at this stage of perfection here. J{ yon were to go to any town, in this colony the contrary of this could be pro.vedhy examining cheese from store to store, or in your largest producing sections,' Ido say here you can and do make cheese that can hold their productions up tft'the face of the,, .world, whilst |%ei^'--a.re others that oanriot \ hy'aiil means aU slmhj : toy\ake ike best, as common or inMor/will'iiat:pay tgCproduce; hore i when you consider the charges incurred in,the .shipment .-you. will always be outflanked witlr -common and lower priced goods shippedfrom other sources to the English market. iWith regard tq, employing;; experts in butter making that is very good,' at tho same, time I think if exnerts of somo of test malcers'of chose werejmpkyed in a; similar, capacity on cheese it would be nwuey; well spent, as I feol certain .oheese will return most- money if care is taken that tho best article is made and shipped, as it appears, as I have before observed, you have tlio lierk age to produce it, and I feel certain in my mind tyre, is a great, future, before youHw the jmductkn of this artkleoi consumption for our home markot,' r.«. i ,if the colony of New Zealand and Old England not ■going to the do||f and ijbthej, do they will still waii'6 go'ftd. bread.antl obees.e, : 1 ft% ; M";-;'-' :>i: ' > ' : j '■' ' W/;Ji PARKINSON, Fernside, Wooioombe Street, Wellington, 9th Sept,, 1890.
