The Department of Agriculture has engaged Miss Nora Breen to be one of the two lady dairy instructors which it recently decided to appoint. Miss Breen, who has only been in New Zealand a few month*, was at the Munster Dairy School, Cork, from 1900 to 1904, and holds the diplomas of that institution, besides having had four years’ practical experience in a creamery and private dairies. Miss Breen’s duties will be to visit farms where there are fairly large dairies, and give instruction in butter-making. Of course, it will be impossible to visit all the smaller private dairies. Mr Desborough, the representative of Messrs T. Cook and Sons at Rotorua, is on a visit to Wellington. He states that while the volume of business done at Rotorua during the past season was the largest on record, there was a marked falling off in the number of over-sea tourists, as compared with, previous seasons.
