Manawatu Standard (PUBLISHED DAILY.) Suivant la verite. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1883. MR BOWRONS LECTURE.

Mr Bowron, the Government Lecturer on Dairy Factories is announced 'tb give a lecture m the Public Hall, at PaU merston on Friday evening next., Now that onr farmers have exhibited a new interest m this matter, it is to be hoped that fine weather will prevail, and a large audience wjll, be in ;the Hall to meefc Mr Bowron. . Son?e people we learn -are apprehensive that with the number of factories m course of erection, and contemplated m New Zealand, the cheese market will be glutted. Such a contingency i> hardly; likely to arise, as the United States and Canada, which make more cheese than all other conntries put together, cannotj after supplyi teg -their own markets, Export enougn for foreign demands, which are increasing each year. In a ; ; jetter to the president of the Cheese Making Assoiciation;of America, the President of the English Board of Trade stated, that the consumption of cheese m England daring! the past year averaged 81bs per hbad of the total population, as against 4ibs for tbe: previous year. Owing to the high price of meat, the demand for cheese m the cities and .townß of England, has largely increased. The export of cheese from Canada last year was forty million pounds, and one bandrpd and twenty millions from' the States ; even that _was_not sufficient v to meet the demand. 'New ' Zealand cheese, if exported, to England, will reach there when the American, imports are falling off- and if the article .be good it will find a ready market. There, is also^a good market to be found m India. A gentlemen who* has resided m that country for a long^ time and who has iecently taken up his abode m New Zealand informs a contemporary that there is a great demand for good chee c, and a good article would br>ng a very^ high price. All these facts frove that the cheese industry is most profitable m which farmers can engage at present Putting it at thejowest calculation the supplier can make £5 per cow at the low-price of 3^d per gallon forLmilk. TbeVe^are very few farmers who make that amount of profit on two bullocks, even though they may not be kept for a year on the farm, than to feed.; one cow all the year-round, for a cow will milk well on grass that will not fatten bullocks;
