Ouu own correspondent wiites : — The screw presses erected for this factoiy by Ingiam and Co. aie giving way, and otheis will ha\ eto bo obtained. The benche-. aie too slight, being only two inches thick, consequently they are unable to bear the heavy .stiain put upon thorn. The director-, will have to piocme others. As far as T can learn, the plant m other respects is giving satisfaction. The fii>t day's .supply of milk wa»> 281 gallons, on Fiidiiy last it was 301. In a slioit time wo hope to have 500 gallons daily, as many f.umeis who woienotieady to send milk at the commencement will be able to send in the coms'o of a few ctayst. The manager, Mi J. Mead, and his .sister aio giving oufche satisfaction to tho directors. They evidently understand their wink, and keep the factory beautifully clean. Thin factory is also supplied w ith the American gang presses but 1 cannot say as yet whether they gi\e as much .satisfaction a.s the screw pi ess Tho fanners' wives in this, distuot have discovered the ad vantages acciuinjj to tliein fiom the factory, as it has lessened their woik considerably. It is certainly a great boon to them, as they aie spared the slavish toil consequent upon making butter for the maiket, and there is eveiy piospcct of theii getting much laiger returns for the milk than by the labourious work of buttei - making. Apart from these advantages theie is another benefit to be deiived from cheese factories ; they are practically schools in winch young people may be educated in tho art of making chee<o nccoi ding to tlie best approved pnneiples, thereby enabling them to undertake the management of factoiies, or conduct the management of such industries of their own, should they Mud tliemsolves in a position to eroct them.
