NEW DAIRY REGULATIONS

AFFECT CREAM AND MILKING ! MACHINES. A regulation has been gazetted providing for the grading of cream in three classes throughout the year in the North Island. In the past I the .three classifications, "finest." "first grade," and. "second grade,-" have operated for nine months only, and "finest" has been omitted during the winter months, June, July and August. The regulations hitherto in force will continue in respect to the. South Island.

Amending regulations issued under the Dairy Industry Act. published iu the "Gazette" provide that no person shall export butter to the United Kingdom which contains less than one and one half per cent or more than two per cent of common salt unless the owner produces satisfactory evidence of a request fonn. an overseas buyer for a consignment of :oui7ver with a salt eontent outside the limit stated. Unsatisfactory milking machine installations have resulted in the gazetting of a new regulation placing 1 the responsibility for their being; cor- ; reef, on the persons supplying or erecting the machines. Up to the, present ;he farmer has been liable, and compuls'jry alterations made have been done at his expense.
