A number of dairy factories in Taranaki are installing dual plant*, so that cither butter or cheese can be made. The chairman of the Maugatoki Company stated that the present prices meant a difference of threepence in far- ' our of cheese. As compared with three ' years ago, the difference in favour of cheese was very bi;. The added moisture ! alone meant nearh 15000 a year, the whey i butter worild merln £2000, and the starI ter butter nearly another £1000, or, | roughly, £8000 a'year better for ehewe to-day" than three years ago. Quoting j his own ease, he Affirmed that had the Mangaloki factory been raakia;; cheese ! just now, instead of butter, ho would | have -been £100 in pocket in this lai»i ; month alone. By his calculation the factory had lost £10,000 in she months by making butter instead of eiieese. It was decided by 310 vote.? to 145 to instal a dual plant, which meant nddir.g n, cheese plant.

Milk addressed a large gathering in the King's Theatre yesterday afternoon, his subject being "The Crime and Folly of Anarchy." He dealt with anarchy and its principles at somo length, and described the efforts made try certain persons in various countries - of the world to enrol workers in the I anarchist ranks by the advocacy of destructive methods in disputes with capital. With such methods he contrasted 1 j the results to be obtained by unifica-j I tion and adherence to law. The meet- I I ing was quite in sympathy with the | speaker, and an individual who attempt - j ed to make a disturbance was quite un-, I successful. Mr. 11. Scott Bennett spoke | ; before large audiences in the Opera, House yesterday afternoon and evening The afternoon subject -was "Industrial Unionism v. Anarchy," and in the even-1 ing the lecturer spoke upon "The Xaster Key to History." ■ Commenting in the Supreme Court on ' Saturday on an article which had appeared "in a Masterton paper, alleging j that Supreme Court judges were overWorked, Judge Edwards stated that while : the article was quite fe.ii, he did not wish it to he understood that ho hat be*n habitually over-worked. He had worked long hows at Auckland and Hamilton of late, and for the first tinu: in his experience he had succeeded in thoroughly upsetting himself. He poifit'ed out that owing to the absence of ; Judge Cooper in England the Court had j worked short-handed during the kit 12; months, but he hoped that on JudgeCooper's return the work would bo made easier.
