MARCH OF THE DAIRYING INDUSTRY.

Science is marshalling the dairying industry on an elevated plane (says an Australian writer). It lagged for a long time, but is now thriving in the most encouraging fashion. At first butter and cheese circumscribed the output, but many other by-products go to swell the producer's income. Several casein plants arc-in full swing, and it is hoped the secondary industries will make full use of tho hijnd-Ted-a,nd-ono things that can be made from it. The war having forced upon us the absolute need to develop the secondary industries to save "our bacon," other byproducts have come into view. Colac, in. Victoria, is now producing milk sugar. This was formerly left behind., like tho whey butter used to be, so that with tho extraction of tho casein little elfio is left to exploit. The Camperdown (A 7ic.) factory is drying the butter-milk,- and after mixing something olfie with it they sell it for calf feed. These are only small advances, the reader might say, but they show tho right spirit of enterprise, and predict greater success for an industry which is of vital importance in the prosecution of the war. Tho facts tell their own tale.
