CORRESPONDENCE. a PROPOSED DAIR^ SOHQOIii •j , r2b the^jEditor ofjha Stctr^u Sib, — In your issue of 28th met. you take exception to, the' motion, of Mr Maokay in the Taranaki Ednoatiori Board ;; O g for the establishment of a Dairy *Farm in in( j this district. Dairy experts have pronounced this one of "the finest, dairy districts in the world, but without [i aQ scientific help we --will? secure only aew secondary place, andfdr this help we are tba to be lef ' to hawk, over the world to pick. < ' up the oiumbs that (all from tbe tables of o f those you would allow to be our, masters, crumbs too most likely unsuitable for our. . habits and environments. >I ' think, sir, if we are'to hold our own in this 'industry* which has been our sheet anchor, we must keep up with other nations ; mi the ; scientific research which now pervades all branches of industry.' The dairyman' haa ' quite enough to do to attend to the manual **l part,., and must leave to'^those, whose' *~ B special position and training fit them for, ™* tbe investigations of food value", fermen°T tatiori, and baoteria, without a knowledge of which dairying ia now a game of chance. We all know bow difficult it is :. to get information which will fform a ing basis- of soiantifio research ; information , vas which may be got often at, considerable mi- risk, if not 'outlay, and without which we ing must content to play seoond fiddle to our ? ere more jenergetio t neighbours : and which ■* lew too often can..ouly bY, secured by such an for establishment as the Taranaki "'Board yas move for.. ( While, on the dairy Hsirain, ; , allow,me to refer to a letter by,B, A.0.,, for which,, appeared in y oar, columns some ben time since, with regard to* thdproperties of to* comphrey, which I have .found ,very valuable. He .there w quotss authorities to prove that the percentage of butter/fat is all unalterable, and -which convinced me op- against my will. I have just come aoross ito the expenenoe of an American dairyman the expressed ip ..Hoard's Dairyman, thus : — " Years iA a'priWte dairy with separator, , ( . Baboook teat, and Bcales, has made me [ n \\ Bure of one Qt three things,; 1. jSfdfr the Bed percentage of fat in milk is changgoyy tbe tee, character of; food: 2. or, the da% inles, dividual variation in very considerable ; 8. ing or, .there is. a very marked increase in tbe a j n percentage as'' the* period 'iri^ dotation advances. I churn a uniform quantity of cream, viz., 60 quarts. Daring the season \ • of pasture,. l get "from thia^Bffr4dlbß of ""* butter J and in winter f'.' f (when stabled , iea and fed^on hay, enflilage, .and grain produpis) /USrSOlbs.' Also, in Winter I get a larger quantity 'of cream from a given quantity of milk." He also quotes . . Mr, «r. S. Woodward, of tti e 'New )York - Dairy Association, thus : > ." I;got & lot of farrow cows together, the, milk of which took 291bs of milk to lib of butter,* but tell after heavy feeding took less than 191bf1. . bis I At tbe association's meeting scientific men 0. i inclined to the idea that butter fat cannoip^ ,n, j be fed into milk, , yet it seemed tomT^ he-; .they introduced ,* good— imahyr^'ifsiV; ?as' I. have "an imported Holstein that on ibe iDamaturegraßS gave milk of 8-2 per cent., DO. but now, having had soother, calf, gives be 4 6 per cent., which must be due. either to jht individual variation,. or .else we have fed ' fat into the milfc seem strange tbatj.butter^ fat,, ao changed in, fiftvoar, solidity, andisolour, by the food fed, should^be stable. when it comes to 1 ; changing the, percentage of fat in the milk."

Ireland.— The Manchester Chamber of Commerce has written to the Chief Secretary for Ireland,.., saying ,:—• The opinion, already expressed to you, is held' with undiminished strength by butter merchants here that until technical instruction in the art of butter-making by tbe State,- in -sonjß Isnch way /■»> thatadopted by certain foreign eonntries and by the English connty oounoils, ia plaoed within the, reach of all Irish farmers a o large -number of them who make .batter . m then? own dairies cannot manufacture a ; commodity capable of competing slfeeegs.^ r « fully with thfr'rjroduoe of the skilled dairy # men of other : lands. ' Foreign and colonial agricultural communities praotically,;con' *• trol the English markets and are putting forward greater efforts every year to E*f IDtain and improve their .position,' ■ Ihe Chamber recommended that, in • addition to the good work which, is" being done at Glasndviri r and inthe?Miinster ' dauy^sobool V r Go&, : itfnerarii dairies should be organised and lectures given • eystematidaliy^ various, places.
