Many a time and oft have wo impressed upon our readers the necessity, in the interests of our dairy farmers, of having a careful inspection made of all dairy produce before it leaves the shores of Now Zealand. This plan is adopted in Denmark and the rigid inspection there carried out, ensures the British consumer against such a contingency as inferior Danish butter. An instance showing the necessity for the appointment ef seme person to grade dairy produce was shown at Lyttleton, where according to the Lyttloton Times, cheese was shipped per Doric in a most disgraceful condition. Four cheeses wore packed in each case and to all appear auce considerable pressure! had been used to force them into the cases, for in several instances the soft pulpy stuff which the cases contained had burst through the staves. It is a penny wise and pound foolish thing of those who are responsible for the success of New Zealand dairy produce in tho English market to allow cheese to be scut for shipment in such a condition.
