Interesting to New Zealand Choose Mailers. A npmbeb of New Zealand farmers and! ,}' settlors will, it U. hoped, compete for the 200 guinea Jubilee prize, to be given at I the Frome (Somersetshire) Dairy Show, \ a I September next, for the finest cheese made on the Cheddar system, anywhere in Her ' Majesty's dominions. _ Mr Henry J..- Moore, of H'rome, is the projector of the scheme, and to him (I imagine) all exhibits should be consigned. Every cheese must be accom panied by a certified report describing the method of manufacture. England already imports largo quan'ities of Now Zealand Cheddar cheese. New Zealand Ciiodaar Cheese. Mr Thomas Tucker, in a letter to the "Tines," anticipates that_ New Zealand choesemakers will be formidable oompetl tors fo. Mr Moore's prize.
