DAIRYING IN AUSTRALIA.

PELOW NEW ZEALAND STANDARD. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) MORRINSVILLE, this day. That the better class of fanning in New Zealand is considerably ahead of anything he heard of or came in contact with, iu Australia is the opinion of Mr. T. R. Turner, of Morrinsville, who, in company with Mr. R. Harris, manager of the dried milk factory at Waitoa, returned recently from the conference of the Dairy Factory Managers and Secretaries' Association, held in Melbourne last month. Daring his visit to the country districts, •which he did in the company of Mr. Harris and Mr. Neilson (Taranaki), Mr. Turner inspected about 12 or 14 dairy factories, and then, after spending a week in conference on dairying questions, he came to the conclusion that, from a manufacturing point of view, the manufacturers in Australia were not far behind 2*ew Zealand in the dairy world. There was one method that was still being used in parts of Australia which, no doubt, •would appear rather antiquated to New Zealanders. That was that some com-

panies still made their payments to their suppliers on the commercial butter manufactured from the cream received, in

preference to payment on the butterfat oasis.
