FACTORY PAY-OUT.
“This time Last year,” said a Wairarapa dairyman to a reporter recently, “oot factory paid oot Is lOd for butter fat; this year it is paying lOd. How does that strike you ? It means to me a difference of £2BOO. There is just this point about it though, and this is the season. I have never experienced another like it. I commenced hand feeding my bard in January last year, but this year there is a superabundance of young grass, and the cows are doing well and milking splendidly. About this time 12 mdnt'hs ago the faetory was tanning one vat every other day, but this year two vats are in daily use. The extra yield from the cows will just about make up the loss on last year’s payout. This year the factory will pay out about Is 3d or Is -sd, so, after all, things axe not so bad as they might be.”
