DAIRY FARMING. . -««- ENCOURAGING EXAMPLES. Mr AY. Barnctt, who manages the Woodcnd creamery on behalf of tho Softon Dairy Company, was in Ashburton on a visit last week. In a conversation with one; of our reporters, Mr Barnett said that there were sixty farmers supplying milk to the creamery, and the number for the year had been slightly in excess of that figure. The season had been a record one for farmers and his company, tho average supply per day being 20,0001bs of milk. This "was mainly attributable to the ample feed supply, which had been good throughout tho whole season. Each of the suppliers would receive an income of from £9 10s to £10 per cow for the year, which, as an average, must be considered a handsome return. The dairy farms in tho district ranged from 50 to 65 acres each, and those j who wore leasing land paid between £2 10s and £2 12s 6d per acre per year. Some four years ago Mr McFarlano, of the Coldstream estate —in the Woodend-Sefton district —had cut up 300 acres of land, and this had been leased to six dairy farmers, who were doing well, despite the high rental. The most popular breeds of cows in the district are (says Mr.Barnett) the cross between the Shorthorn and Jersey, or the Shorthorn and Ayrshire. His creamery is supplied with milk I from a radius of about four miles, and the cream is sent daily a distance of six miles to the company's main factory at Sefton. An opposition creamery has recently been erected near Kaiapoi by Mr Jackens, but Mr Barnett is not in a position to state whether the venture has proved a- success. In view of the opposition, however, his company : contemplates erecting another creamery at a point known as the Church Bush. Farmers in the district are fully satisfied with, dairying—so much so that tliey are now milking the whole year through. In reply to a suggestion as to what had led to the establishment _of the dairying industry in the district, Mr Barnett said that for years and years farmers had been engaged in graingrowing, and, with a view to making that branch of farming pay, grain had been sown year after year on the samo land,. with the result that the soil had become so impoverished that it would grow nothing but noxious woods. It was, therefore, very necessary that tho land should be given a well-earned rest, and dairying was resorted to a few years ago; of this the results had been so gratifying that grain-growing was now carried on on a small scale in comparison with eight or ton years ago. In tho Woodend-Sefton district land values are very high (says Mr Barnett), the average prices, paid being from £40 to £45 per acre. Only recently eight acres'of exceptionally good land were cold at £80 per acre.

THINGS MEN SHOULD KNOW. INSIDE FACTS ABOUT THE MAKING OF SUITS TO MEASURE. HOW TO SAVE MONEY BUT AVOID DECEPTIONSECURE THE BEST GARMENTS MADE. Every man who formerly had to pay 4, 5, or 6 guineas to have a satisfactory suit made to his measure, and has Bince taken advantage of the modern methods adopted by a now wellknown firm of suit specialists, knows that there is no longer any need to pay the above exhorbitaiit prices to secure complete satisfaction in every respect. The wonderful success and the rapid growth of the business conducted by Mr George Davies in this city, at 184 and 186 Colombo street, and also at every other principal centre throughout New Zealand, is sufficient proof that men were tired of paying the old-style credit tailors the necessary exorbitant prices which they had to charge to cover their bad debts, anil the costly antiquated methods they adopt in manufacture. Just as is the case, however, where any great success is .achieved as the result of an honest, intelligent effort to serve the public well, a host of would-be imitators have put in an appearance at-' tempting to deceive the public, and it is against these imitators we would specially warn our readers. You will find this kind of thing mostly among drapers and clothiers who handle readymade clothing, mercery, and sometimes drapery, and almost every conceivable article worn by men, women and .children. These firms advertise suits as low in price as those produced by George Davies, in some cases lower, and when they have taken your measurements they send your suit out to some factory where ready-made slop suits are made, and all sorts of garments of a cheaper kind. The result is that you would certainly have a suit made to your measure by these various firms, lint what sort of a suit is it ? -.It is'necessarily similar to the ready-made slop suits which arc made every day in those very factories for customers who cannot afford to pay even moderate prices 'for their suits. How different when you place your order with. George Davies. Your suit is cnt by an export cutter of the highest skill, made in Mr Davies's own workroom under careful supervision, the highest quality Italian cloth and haircloth is used in 'the making of garments, and every little point in the making receives special care in your interests. Yet although the suits made by Mr Davies are the equal of any suits made in New Zealand, af any price, no matter how high, they cost you but a trifle more than a suit which yon can have slop-made to your measure nt almost any drapery, mercery or ready-made clothing establishment in the town. Some superb materials just landed direct from the world's best manufacturers, as well as from tlio colonial mills, are now shown for the winter season, both for sac_ suits. morning suits, evening dress suits and overcoats, and when you place _ your order with George Davies, the original and ony firm making four guinea suits from 50s to 60s, five guineas from 63s to 70s, and six guineas at 755, you secure a written guarantee of complete satisfaction or your money back.
