PUKEKOHE AND MAUKU CHEESE AND BACON FACTORY.

Tho Opening Celebration.

On Saturday lust the settlers of Pukekohe and adjacent districts assembled in con siderable numbers to celebrate tho comple tion of the cheese factory, which was thrown open for the occasion to public inspection. The Company, which was formed some months ago for the purpose of carrying out this work, has been liberally supported by tho settlers, the shares being distributed among a hundred holders, each able to furnish supplies of milk. The total capital is £G,OOO in £1 shares, payable in instal ments of Is on application, Is on allotment, and calls not exceeding Is a month after wards Although hampered in some degree by the financial difficulty, tho directors have worked energetically, and tho result is a handsome and commodious factory building erjual to anything of the kind to be found in Australasia.

Tho factory stands upon an elevated and central site, on the l'ukekolio and Mauku road, about a mile and a-half from the I'ukokolio railway station. The plans were drawn by Mr W. T. Wright, Chairman of Directors, from designs by Mr Horuio Walpole, tlie factory manager, and the success that has been achieved was the general theme of comm endation among the visitors on Saturday. The building is a handsome structure of timber on a concrete foundation. It is divided into three compartments—engine room, the making room (in which there are three large vats, curd mills, and ten large cheese presses), and curing room, furnished with extensive racks for dry ing, curing, and storing the cheese. The floor of tho whole building is of solid concrete, ensuring perfect cleanliness. The contract was carried out by Messrs Smith and Howe, of Onehungo. The plant, which has been furnished to tho satisfaction of the directors by Messrs Ingram and Co., .of Auckland, is capable of turning out I,lioOlbn of cheese per day ; tho presses are self-acting, maintaining a constant and uni form pressure. The manager's house, a neat cottage of four rooms, has been built in close proximity to tho factory. The process of cheese-making on the factory principle in very simple, although the quality of the article produced depends, of course, a good deal upon tho judgment of tho manipulator. Tho milk, as it is re ceived nt the factory, passes into a receiver, where it is measured, and the quantity supplied by each vendor is accurately ascer tained. From tho receiver the milk is passed into tho vats. Here it is heated to the required temperature by steam supplied through pipes from the engine, and the ren net is then put in, separating the curd from the milk. Tho curd is now raised upon a wooden rack, and the whey, passing through a sieve to tho bottom of the vat, is ran off by a tap. Tho curd remains for some hours on the rack, to cheddar and dry; it is then passed through the curd mill.and is ready for tho moulds and presses. In tho Pukekoho factory measures have been taken to utilise every part of the milk in tho most profitable way, and with the least handling and labour. At a considerable distance from tho factory extensive and substantial piggeries have been built, with concrete floors, and a trough runs theentiio length of tho sheds, which aro dispersed in two lines at right angles. Pipes have been laid connecting with a concrete cistern, of a capacity of 1, GOO gallons, to which the whole of the waste from tho factory is drained by earthenware pipes, and from thence is tipped as required into the piggeries, fill ing all tho troughs. Much valuable food for the production of bacon is thus utilised, and tho factoiy is completely freed from any refuso which might prove detrimental to the cheese. The manufactory is in every respect a credit to the directors, tho manager, and the district, and we under, stand that, through judicious modifications made upon tho Government plan?, and by getting the appliances all locally made, nearly £1,000 have been saved. The total cost of building, with site consisting of ten acres of land, and plant, has, up to the present,-been £I,S' 0, and there is good valuo to represent the money.

After the visitors had inspected the fac tory they repaired to the luncheon, which was served in a largo barn owned by Mr T. Bamaby, one of the directors, the viands being supplied by Mr Roulston, of the Pukekoho Hotel. Mr Wilkinson occupied the chair. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were duly honoured. " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers" was coupled with the names of Captain Hamlin and Major Harris, who suitably responded. " The Bishop and Clergy of all Denominations" was proposed from the chair, coupled with the names of the Keys. Messrs Walpole, Smalllield, and Frith. Mr Walpole re sponded. In giving ' 'Our Representatives," the Chairman said that Mr Hobbs had in tended to bo present, but was unavoidably prevented by business. MrHamlin, M.H.R., and Major Harris, M.H.R., spoke briefly in response, congratulating the settlers on the occasion that had called them together. Mr Jacob Wright sang " Shells of the Ocean," in good voice. The Chairman, in proposing " Success to the Factory," said the directors had had a good deal of up-hill work. However, everything was ready now to start on Monday. Mr Thomas Wright, J.P., Chairman of Directors, in responding, said there were a hundred shareholders, and tho factory was a credit to them. It now only remained for the manager and shareholders to complete the undertaking by making it a profitable in dustry. He had great faith in the manager. Ho thought the success of their factory should be coupled with that of Waiuku, and that the two managers Rhould work together. Tho Pukokohe settlers were to be congratulated upon having entered into the movement with so much spirit. At Waiuku, the whole burden had been thrown upon Captain Gill. Ho believed, however, that the Waiuku factory was already a success, and for the Pukekohe directors he might safely say that no feeling of jealousy was entertained towards their neighbours, but that their manager would have the fullest authority to render his brother, the Waiuku manager, all tho assistance he could, and thoy would expect the same in return.—Mr Bamaby, a director, also re sponded. Ho thought it was time for the settlers to got out of the old groove, and the factory having now been opened, it rested largely with the shareholders to make it a success. —Mr John Allen, a director, said that when he attended tho first meeting, at which Mr Bowron, Government Inspector, had addressed the settlers, ho went full of doubt whether the district was ripe for such a factory, but Mr Bowron had convinced him that it would bo one of the greatest advantages that could be conferred upon the settlers, and he had then entered heartily into the work and done everything in his power to help it along*. Some of the settlers said they wore not in a position to take shares. They might, however, show their interost by supplying milk, and if they did that he was sure they would soon become shareholders.—Messrs Rollcrson, Russell, and Major Harris, directors, also responded. —The toast of " Tho Local Justices" was responded to by Mr Crispo, The largo attendance showed that the sottlers took a great interest in the factory. He was con vinced that it would realise the expectations that were ontevtained of it. Ho had travelled through tho Waikato recently, and found that settlers who had been sup plying the factories there were doubling the quantity of their milk. Ho had great confidence in the directors, and hoped that, notwithstanding the great amount of work and worry they had already borne, thoy would hold offico for another year. Ho was glad thoy had erected a good building instead of a shanty, for although some of the shareholders complained of tho large ness of the first outlay, he was convinced that it would prove the wisest policy in the long ran to nave begun with first-class appliances.—Mr Jacob Wright, J,p.,' in responding, declared his entire belief that the day would be marked with red letters in the history of Pukekohe. He was, how ever, one of those shareholders whe thought it would have been better if less money had been spent on the factory buildings. And al thou'gfi he had no doubt the site would prove an advantageous one, still he believed it would have been better to have selected a more central one for Piiltekphe, giving their Mauku frieijda a. branch,—'.' The Auckland Chamber of Commorce" was responded to by Mr S. Vaile, who said he was one of the youngost members of that body, but had been more or less connected with the commerce of Auckland for the last 40 years. He remembered on landing one Christmas Eve looking round over the brown vegetation and wondering whore cows were fed. No one could have imagined at that time the progress which had made Auckland what it was to-day. In tho year 1844 the total imports of the colony reached the sum of £10,000. Then they thought they were very big. Last year the imports of the colony were eight millions He re membered making an ascent of Mount Eden with his brother. It took them half a day to reach it, and from the top only a small green patch was visible here and there. All the grass and trees in the country had been planted since then. He quoted figures to show that the colony had a

larger aroa of cultivated lands, a greater length of telegraphs and railways open.than New South Wales, the oldest colony in Australasia. Though the progress had thus been very great, he thought it would have been greater if the com mercial departments of the Government such as the post-office, railways, and tele graphs — were treated as public con-1 veniencies instead of trading concerns. He believed, for instance, that a penny post age stamp should take a letter all through the colonies and Australia ; trade circulars should, moreover, not cost more than a half ■ penny* Telegram?, he believed, would pay better at fourpence minimum than a shilling. Then about railway?, with reference to which many people said he had a fad, or railways on the brain. His business took him through tho country, and he was suro that unless fares were reduced there would be a serious reduction in the value of property; they would not care to stand that. The cost of conveying pro duce to market took away the small margin of profit, He considered that a man ought to be allowed to take produce to tho same amount as he could now carry personal luggage. He proposed that the fare to Pukekohe should be Is 4d, and a settler should have ths privilege of taking half a hundred-weight of butter with him ; then he could go into town with his own produce and so avoid the middle man. The loss on the railways this year would amount to £300,000; therefore they not only had the loss but tho annoyance of the thing. A small reduction would only result in greater loss, as the last reduction had done. The man who had made that reduction was a nincompoop. To effect any good at all they must bring down the fares to a rate that everyone could use the railways. He con gratulated tho settlers on the establishment of the factory.—"The Town and Trade of Auckland" was proposed from the chair, and responded to by Mr Frank Lawrie, who said it was a source of gratification to them that Auckland was the most prosperous city in the colony. He thought the city endow ments were one of the chief sources of its success. The number of wealthy persons resident in the city on account of the beautiful climate also contributed to its wealth.—ln response to "Our Visitors," Mr Walpole, manager of the Waiuku factory, said the Pukekohe factory was not to bo beaten in tho colony. Complaint had been made that tho price paid per gallon for milk, 4d, was insufficient. He had demon strated at Waiuku that the price was better than the settlers could get for their butter. The settlers of Waiuku were already increas ing their quantity. One gentleman present brought his milk seven miles, and it had only been refused once as sour. Therefore, he thought settlers could eafely bring milk six miles. Ho believed Australia would furnish them with their best markets. He also thought it was a mistake in this climate to make too rich a cheese.—The " Press " was responded to by Mr T. W. Leys (Star), who spoke of the necessity for working the factory on purely co-operative principles, to make it realise the expectation of the settlers in giving them the best value for theirproduce. Mr W.Robinson ("Herald") also responded.—Votes of thanks to the proprietors of the Star and "Herald," to Mr S. Vaile and the Chairman, brought the proceedings to a close.

Our Athlete's Verdict. BICYCLING. John Rolpe, Esq., champion bicyclist of Eng land and Australia, who at prosent is open to run a long-distance race with any bicyclist for the championship of the world, gives his per sonal experience of the valuable properties of St. Jacob's Oil, as used by him in his recent contest with Jno, Watson for the championship of Australia 268, Elizabeth-street North, Melbourne, Victoria. 23rd November, 1883. To tho Editor Auckland Evening Star. Dear Sir,—l desire to add my cheerful endorse ment of the good effects I have at all times re ceived from the uso of St Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent 6 days' contest held in the Melbourne Exhibi- Hon Building for £500 and tho championship of the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon companion. I continually used it before and after each day's performance, and the re sults simply astonished mo. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become soro and stiff from over-exertion, but after being well-rubbed with the oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh as ever. As proof poaitive.after the contest was over, I ro4e W miles ogainat time beforo a pub lic audience and accomplished it in 6 hours 11 minutes 45} sooonds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feel. ings of fatigue and I felt perfectly fit for another race. Am positive it aided me to win tho match. and I shall never enter a similar contestwithout a bicyclo and St Jacob's Oil. o.lf'f 0"?1^^?? al!
