PROSPEROUS DAIRYING. NO SIGN OF A LEAN YEAR. fel XSEEGBAPH — SPECIAL TO THE POST.} FEILDING, This Day. During the course of a chafe on the dairy-ing industry, Mr. A. Hunt, chairman, of the Rongotea Dairy Company, 6tated fchafc he thought that the indications for the season were very good. Dairymen, in his district had enjoyed a Berks of prosperous years, and there was no sign yet of a lean year. Indeed, some of the suppliers this season had better prospects than ever. One mac he knew was getting a thousand pounds weight of milk per day from 21 cows, with an average test of 3.3. This worked out at £2 3s 8d per cow per month, and yet the Rongotea farmers have not yet got down to wpeding out the poor animala. All along the Feilding countryside the question of testing and breed is being discussed. Some declare for the Shorthorn. These are building up their 'herds with the Holstein, and thus are mixing them with Holstein and Jersey, but the great majority of our own herds are nondescript. This is said to be just the country for the Jersey.
