A brief visit to the N.Z, Sugar of Milk Go .’s factory at Edcndale, found it-a veritable hive of industry, says the “Wyndham Farmer.” At the present time 7000 gallons of whey are being received daily; while at the height of the season'the intake was 8500 gallons per d'em. From the present supply, 21001 b of commercial crude sugar, which is equal to 18001 bof refined sugar of milk is -manufactured per diem. The quality of tho Output is above criticism, and' meets with an unlimited demand. The whey from the Edendale, Seaward Downs, Menzies Ferry, and Brydone cheese factories is la : d under tribute; and the work is undertaken bv a staff of 18 hands, divided into three shifts, the machinery running continuously through the twenty-four hours. The manager, Mr Chism, has had twenty years’ American experience, and by substituting American for British and Continental machinery, he has cut down time and cost considerably.
