OUR STAPLE INDUSTRY.

FINE DISPLAY OF DAIRY PRODUCE. AT THE WINTER SHOW. This ypar. in keeping with the importance of the industry to Tnranal'i and the Deminicn generally, the dairy produce section has h»-en given a place in the main hall of the Winter Show, the butter and cheese exhibits being attractively displayed at the far I end. Tuts year’s entries In both classes are larger than usual, butter showing an increase of 22. and cheese an increase of 17. the latter being rather remarkable in view of the number of factories that have lately turned from cheese to butter. The judging was done by the officers of the Grading Department, and, Ln the course of their comments, they remark that, with very few exceptions, quality as represented in ail butter classes was of a very high order. Flavor in individual entries 'was fairly uniform, while body left very ' Jhtle to he desired. Color showed defectiveness in a few entries, while more attention, [ should be paid to complete Solidity in packing. The quality, however, generally speaking. was highly satisfactory. The quality of the cheese exhibits was of a high degree of uniformity, no low scoring cheese being on exhibition. Some slight variation in flavor was noticeable, but the body and texture was of a very even trade throughout. A pleasing feature was the attractive finish, all cheese on the stand being dean and free from 'mould. In butter. Shannon. Tnihape and Omata are ihe principal winners, with two firsts each. In the cheese exhibits the bulk of tie prizes go to outside factories, the entries from Taranaki being comparatively small. Detailed reBUTTER CLASSES. Messrs.
