REGULATIONS.

1. ; All milk to be received for manufactory must be carefully strained and brought to the factory in a tin can without faucit, pure and iweet.

%. Any milk which by reason of negligence, uncleanlineuß, or otber cause, is not in suitable ' condition, for use, will be rejected if discovered ■before it is let into the vat.

' 3. If any person shall bring milk which has been ' skimmed, watered, or otherwise tampered .with in a manner forbidden by law, thereupon obtaining proof sufficient to convict

the offender, the directors will prosecute such person, and will not compromise or settle only, as he p©yfc%he full penalty of the law and all -deman&Mccruing from his offence4. It shall be the duty of the manufacturer, at least once in each week, to carefully test the - milk from each and every dairy, and in case : he shall find any that has been skimmed or watered, or otherwise in violation of law, shall at once report the same to the directors, and to •no other person, and they will then take such measures ak they think expedient to obtain conclusive proof against the offender. 5. It ifr/necessary that milk should be de- ' livered at the factory before eight o'clock in , the morning of each day, and the manufacturer will not be required to receive it after that time. 6. Each patron may take from the factory his share of whey in proportion each day to the amount of milk delivered the day previous ; the quantity to be regulated by the manufacturer. 7.

Directors.

TEEMS : 1- Two and a-half dollars per 1001b (to be det ducted from the receipts of each sale) and one good rennet for each 4001bs of cheese, which ' shall include manufacturing, curing, furnishing, and ordinary expenses, delivering the cheese at the' door of the dry-heuse ready for market. ■ 2. The company will not be responsible for any loss by fire, theft, or other similar cause. 3. It is expressly understood that every person sending milk to the factory will conform to the above rules. *

Usually, a committee or some one person selected from the patrons is chosen as salesman of the cheese and butter, whose duty it ie to make gales at beat prices to be had, to

arrange dividends and to pay over shares to patrons, deduoting, of course, the price per pound for manufacturing, which is made to cover hi], Including the per cent, on cost of bui'ding and fixtures. I have sent the above for insertion, as I am given to understand that some of our country settlers, both North and South, are very willing to support an associated Dairy and Cheese Company, but seem to either lack the information as to how to take the initiative in the matter, or want someone else to move first. Although Mr Brydone has kindly offered to give any so inclined all the informationhelis possessed of — and I am sure he can give them most valuable advice on the matter, from what I heard him Btate at the Me meeting of the Pastoral and Agricultural — Association I send you this, as it may incite some to action, snd may assist them who may not go to the trouble to interview Mr Brydone.

PACKING CHEESE SOR EXPORT.

In my reply to "Cheesemaker," in re the above, I observe I omitted to say that it in moßt desirable that a division ohould be nailed in the oentre of each case, bo that the cheeses may not press on each other in moving them about.
