THE DAIRYING INDUSTRY.

TO TIIK KIOTO It. Hik.—-1 have boon much interested in a li'ticr that appeared ill Tmk Waikato Timks on the 1 2th inat., signed “Milkman,'' and with your kind permission 1 should like to contribute a few remarks. Milkman has given a very fair review nf the freezing company's transactions, and I fuiy indor-c his remarks re the butter department. Now if they want to posh an honest business in Waikato why not erect, factories for themselves in good fanning districts where there are im cheese factnrrs at work, and try to sell their seeds and manure as best they can, for 1 believe they have, that as much in view as butter making. The cheese factories should cry out “no surrender.” I cannot understand how that company has got all the hotter trade in Auckland, dust fancy them buying buttei for from fd to ,'!d per lb., and, if we are to believe themselves, “poor, pale, overworked,” fee., &a., yet they just rim it through their clialf cutter, give it a fancy name, and sell it to the public as A.l. at top price for cash. Surely every person must know that butter if once had cannot be improved by their pudling machine. Why do not some of our respectable storekeepers in Waikato open a butter trade with some good house in Auckland, and supply the public with a first-class article, without having the good and bad pounded together? There arc Whatawhata and Te Rorc, both good positions for a factory. Why docs not some honest interposing merchant from Auckland come forward and start a factory? Te Rore is a good district for such a business, with an unlimited supply of milk from the surrounding district. 1 have no doubt such an institution would get a good reception.—Yours truly, W.ui'A.
