A meeting of tho suppliers of Messrs. Nathan's butter fafctory was held at Makino recently, t-o decide the price for butter-fat for next year. Tho management of the factory decided to pay out next season on the same basis as the Bunnythorpe Co-operative . Co. and tho Ballanco Dairy Co. Tho average bonus paid by theso two companies is also to be paid to tho suppliers. As both these 'companies pay out good prices, tho Makino suppliers naturally are quito satisfied with tho arrangements,

Although tho Jersey _is the most sought-after cow by dairymen in the Feilding countryside, there is, at the present' time, a strong growing demand for the Holstein, which is recognised as a hardy animal, which can stand rough weather and a trying season, and is not too heavy for wee clay country. A Taranaki buyer was in Feilding last week endeavouring to buy up the Holstein heifers, but was unable to satisfy his requirements, as those dairymen who have Holstein hords are not willing ,to sell. It is difficult; too, to get our farmers to part with tlieir Jerseys.
