DAIRY NOTES .
(CimUrtoiiy Times.) ■ A new separator la brought under tho ' notice of Wow Zealand dairymen by tho agefatg, Messrs Wood, Dunn and Co., L’mited, of Leadenhall, Market Street, Melbourne. It is called tho “Empress,” and gained the highest award, the silver medal,' at the recent London dairy show. It is-made in sizes for hand and power. Tho “Victoria.” is another separator by the same maters, and is made in. various sizes. It s gained tuunorcuo prize madala, and holcta tho world’s record for clean skimming. Both machines are in great favour in Australia and other parts of. the world where they have been introduced. - . The Agont General. for Victoria has. (we'learn by.cable) engaged ,au analyst to report as to whether excessive freezing or prolonged hold _ in. storage will cause injurious chemical changes iu butter. Two samples ex Celtic "Kins, - arriving at from 10 to 12 degress, were found 1 quite .pure. Another sample of Victorian, After nine month a’ storage, is pronounced just free of margarine, though . apparently deteriorated. Another sample - similarly stored contained 14 per cent of margarine. In order to detect if the deterioration is tile result of long storage, Mr Gillies intends to subject pure butter to exhaustive • testa' and have frequent analyses made while it is in the steamer. Great interest is taken in tho result. Mr Vogg proposes that exporters should appoint butter graders in Londou to arrange tha supply and maintain the relative prices to within five or tea shillings of European supplies.' He also suggests that the Government should be asked to extend tho supervision in London.
