Milk carts streamed along all the roads leading,to tho several cheese factories, and in the faco of the general depression they wero a checrful sight. Thero was no special opening of tho season in the Bush Districts, which apparently aro nearly a fortnight later than the Wairarapa. • The Jlastertoh Butter < Factory is expected to open this weok.

Dalefield, 550 gallons. ' Parkvale, 420 gallons. Belvedere, 420 gallons. . Theso quantities show increases on those of last year's opening day, which, however, was in somo instances earlier in the season.
