WHY SOME FARMERS ARE POOR.
TO THE BDITOB. Sir,—l was both astonished and pained to see the numbers of farmers' lot 3 of butter at the show, because it is only worth from 4d to 7d, while if it had been factory-made it would have been worth 91d, and any secondstandard child can calculate tho loss here. Now, in Taranaki, farmers' butter is positively unknown; in the most inaccessible places the settlers borrow money to metal their roads, erect a creamery, and get the top value for their milk. Hence the prosperity of that province. Allow me also, as a Taranaki dairy expert, to say— as I do not know the names of a single exhibitor of butter or the judges, I have no interest in 'he matter whatever—that thora were only two samples of box butter that were not rancid, and one of these failed to get a prize.—! am, etc., W. R.„Wbight Golden Spray Creamery, Rahotu.
