I THE BU i TER INDUS I LY. (Taranaki Berald). Ie At evtry farmhouso the chnrn ie nn c ohj.ct, and t v ter is regularly made, to the r. extHriintlenatofthertqufrsmentsforfnni y u^e. There ie, however, a vory decided t objection to regard butter-making fa » [? remtfneratlve business, and multitud : noijs expeneDces may be quoted to prove that it does not pay, or has not paid. Farther - there is a certain amount of hard work ii - aeparable from the pureuir, If conduct. Vl on the old time-honored lines, and thi^ b work b comes all the more irksome wh<>n : 7 thexncominge are absurdly small. AJmoV . evtry house, ife lays claim to a pp cl«l . 1 knowledge of butter-makin?, aod refu-.s > ' to be comforted" when the kncw.'er^^ I cornea to her that, a neighbor is reßulaiTy i paid doable the prfce she receives for tic J produce from her dairy. She cannot »!i - . pute the fact, but will not be tau-M ? 0 I buajowas by a neighbour, and it liss 1 at i importance m her estimation. M,» > fail« to comprehend that wonderful re - i foima have besn effected m dairy manag. - meot within the paßt few yeara, that ths >bor o nuected with the buaineps hps been simplified and lessened, and Ih t there is no longer 'iccertai: ty of rtßuiip 1 either m regard to ih» quantity or. quality ot the products. Increased crnnpetitJoir m the markets ff.ida buyers a wider ip- portunity f,, r ac ctiou, atd their cusa*« to merb— the c;n t uuaera— have asaurferfty become more fastidious. Hence.it is th *t bntter from one dairy sells readily at' 10 I to la per ib, while that from another farm is unsaleable at half the money. Infeiiir butter is hopelessly beaten m competition"' but at the same time it Injuriou-ly affocta the value of the superior art c >. Were ie not yeir after year dairy farmera oontinud to eend butte to matket at priceß rang ng fr. m 4i to 6|d per X h might be Buppoaed that a nunifesily unprofitable buainess would be rbl n- quiabed, but presumably even the very small returns are bo acceptable that. the" course is persisted ia another and yet another year. In every district there are farmhoußea where the finoat pos- sible butter is produced, but the knovr- ledga of business is not extending and until the necessary information ?a more widely differed It will be idle to expect superior production of butter au?l futile to attempt a permanent export trade. Low as prices have been,. mßkora of inferior butter will have a woiae time of it m the future, and they are already apprehensive of thie. The argumc-n*, howovpr, Ib that even m good butter there would be over pr.dnotion, and cobs)-/ quently low prices. These eventualities are, however, purely imaginary. Worn" the batter production of the colony brought np to anything approaching a standatu of excellence, a clefis of buyera would spring up whose buoineso wtuld ba the purchase, mixing, and packing of the article m attractive form for other marketß. New Zealand is most advantageously cir- cumatanc d for the development of pros- perous dairy indnatriea. In the year, J 835 out exports of butter— principally m tha nebhbxring coloniea— amounted m yalua to £102,387, an incroase of £35,749 on tho value of the exports m 1884. But thia trade la now seriously jaojatrdiaed by tho improvements effected m .butter-msfciu>. especially m New South W«leß— our t is*. customer.

Lecturing on the Bubjoct of British dairying, 'Prbfesfor Sheldon acid, "II we mm ij buttf-r- --maklnp, we find no further cause for congratulation, for n large proportion of British butter is far enough benca'h what it ouuht to bp, and what it micht easily be if people would eeek for in- formation and diligently put it m practice. And yet butter-making ia a much simpler th<ng than cheese-mokini', dealing with O"e, and that the ltast perishable, constituent of milk. Oheeuo factories have done a great deal of good m tho country, and the two or three butter Factories there are, have demon- strated the value of correct principles ia the domain of butter-making." There are numerous dairy farmers m the colony who have made money, but these are they who make firet-class butter and cheese.

Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with tho moat Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxlouß and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of tho toothing of Infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whoße lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by tho Necklet during the period of dentitioo, by its nerve-glvrg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chioken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening U<e heart of every mother who invokes Its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD A CO., Auokland, bis sols agenta m New Zealand for the B»le of theße Necklets, from vrhom only they can be obtained. The price haß been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coat of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i ! a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by post* note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. mHB PREMIER COLONIAL OOMPA CANTERBURY BRANCH.
