Now, this is not by !i»» high standard. The average Ltag. of solids m Canterbury milk is ftrfmilk sugar and casein, and three Hit According to the Government ML mjikmust contain nine per cent.

It is quite true that Btqfs yield milk of very inferior sort. „I complained about the quality of .milk I bought. 'Well, sir,' said the mm, 'it's j nefc as it came from the cow.' ;mid' I replied, ' you had better kill item;-he wiU be better for meat than iik.' The quality of the milk from tho \_ dow varies, as many people know, linprentconditions, and it is generally | ntering naturally poor milk that the taajoraget caught. Of course, as the ]ts_ge of cream required by the Go- JH||(and_rd is less than the average 't_aeein the milk, a man, if he wants can water his milk down to standard, but those who ■!-_•'(. are generally not careful Kb about it j they overdo tho thing ■q wight,'..,: I'li-gjad to say that very many milk- P-pOii adulterate at all.

It will be observed that there is a large proportion of " stale " cows, as we call them in Sussex, four of the number being due to calve in January and February next, and twelve having calved upwards of six months.

The feed is as follows :-—Mornings, hay, and between every two cows a half-bushel of sliced swedes, followed by six or seven good sized cow cabbage—the cows are then turned out to grass, there being but little grass in the fields ; afternoons, first hay, then the same quantity of swedes and cab bage as in the morning, with the addition of (to every cow calved within six months) three gallons of ale grains, and half a gallon of mixed linseed and decorticated cotton cake with a final feed of hay—each cow having within reach pure water ad lib. The greatest milkers in the herd are English bred. When I began to exhibit, which was in October, 1884, I sent to the London Dairy Show two English-bred cows of great milking capacity and of good con stitution, evidently too much "constitu tion" and too much "udder" for the judges (for they took very little notice of them), and not sufficient of the gazelle-like appearance, and that " indesoribable some thing " which in the eye of the judges, it is said, counts for so many points, and which was made so much of, if my memory serves me, by one or more of your correspondents some time since, and which ought to be called "describablo nonsense." One of these, Duchess 11., took the second milking prize in the milking contest, in which Jerseys and Guernseys were in competition. The other cow, Honey, unlike many milkers, carries flesh, besides " filling the pail," as do all her female progeny.

The Non success of Dairy Factories.

We have several times expressed the opinion that one cause of the losses sus tained in most cases by dairy factory operations was that milk suppliers de manded and obtained too high a price for their milk to leave any margin of profit on the sale of factory butter and cheese at present market rates. Upon this question "Old Stilton" writes as follows*in the Otago Witness :— -

The want 01 success in this industry is a matter which has been occupying the minds of the directors of the various dairy factories throughout the colony, and I observe it has now been proposed to hold a conference of delegates from the various companies to discuss the position and devise means to remedy the lamentable state of affairs.

The cauoe is not difficult to discover, and is purely attributable to the fact that directors of companies are paying the pro ducer more than the real value of the milk they manufacture. Most of the dairies, I notice, have dropped the price of milk to 3d per gallon ; but even this is more than its commercial value, as I shall presently show. And unless these dairies are to be run on philanthropic prin ciples, it would be well for shareholders to throw up the sponge at once, as it is futile to expect them to make both ends meot, far less earn and pay a dividend. In order to arrive at the value of milk, I would instance the Akaroa cheese, which is noted throughout the colony and quite equal in quality to the factory production, and which is obtainable in the market at 3id per lb. "The quantity of milk Weed in the manu facture of one pound of cheese is a gallon, and the cost of manufacture, including management and incidentals, is computed at 2d per lb. The cost of the dairy product, with milk at 3d per gallon, is therefore od per lb ; and I have shown bhat Akaroa farmers are will ing and even anxious to sell cheese equal in quality at while the factories cannot sell without loss at lees than sd.

The consequence of such management, or mismanagement, is that the capital sub scribed to start these companies has been lost to shareholders ; and in addition, many of the unfortunate but ignorant directors have rendered themselves personally liable to banks and other institutions for advances to milk producers. The true value of milk can also be arrived at by taking the selling price of butter— another marketable prodnct. This at present is worth say 5d per lb, and as it re quires say 1\ gallons to produce a pound of butter, it follows that milk estimated at the selling price of the products —viz., butter and cheese—is worth about 2d per gallon, while most of the factories are buying it at 3d. The sooner the directors and shareholders of companies tumble to the position, the more likely are these industries to be per manently established upon a sound footing, instead of ruining themselves and the factories by trading upon unsound principles. ,

New Impetus Horse Breeding.

The Government's decision to devote the Queen's Plates in future to the object of improving the breed pf horses will be satisfactory, says a home farming iournal, in all except . racing > circles. The plates now given are. 500 guineas at Newmarket, and 300 guineas each at York, Richmond (Yorks), Xiverpopl, Lichfield, Bath Stockbridge, Ascot, Lewes, and Winchester (alternately with Salisbury): a total of £3200. This sum, made up to _.SOOO by a Treasury contribution, will be nlaced at the disposal of a trust of which the Master of the Horse will be a member, and itTs expected to be divided into Queen's nri-es for horse-breeding at the chief Cultural shows. That will be a more St way of encouraging horse-breeding than contributing to, race funds, which do not now want supporting, and in whfch the Queen's Plates cuTa somewhat insignificant figure. _____________————*—_■
