Butterfafc prices and production are still the cause of much debate througnout this country, and it behoves all dairy farmers to see that their herds

are producing the maximum. This result can only be obtained by careful testing and by culling out those cows whose test is below a certain figure. As will be seen in our advertising columns' to-day, a dairy herd of splendid type is to be offered at auction on July 6. The owner is leaving the district, ,'ind as he is selling the whole of his herd, farmers who desire to build up their herds should certainly attend the sale. The cattle are of the Ix'st type utid have been carefully culled annually, with the result that the herd to-day contains only "money-makers." Catalogues may be obtained at the oflice of the auctioneers, the N.Z. Loan and Mercantile Agency Co. An abridged prospectus of the Hartley and Riley Consolidated Gold Dredging' Co., Ltd., is published in our columns to-day and makes interesting reading. There has always been a romance connected with gold dredging and this particularly so in connection with dredging or. the Molyneux river in Otago Central. A new company has secured a nine-mile continuous

strip of the Molyneux river, and this includes such well-known claims as ,tho Hartley and Riley and Alpine Electric, from which in the past huge returns have been secured. The capital of the company is £75,000, divided into Is shares, and it is intended to erect a modern powerful dredge to work the river. Full information and prospectuses are obtainable from any branch of the Bank of New .South Wales, or from any member of the Auckland Stock Exchange, or from the interim secretary, Mr. A. H. Kitto, 505 Southern Cross buildings, Chaneery street, Auckland.
