THE DAIRYING INDUSTRY.

Mr D. J. . Mctxowau; .{acting l)airy Commissioner, who h'&s been visiting ihis district, on his return to Wellington was interviewed by a New Zealand Times representative. After referring to the excellent prospects before the industry the Commissioner had something to say about tihe appointment of graders in outlying ports, when the settlers' produce coulcl be ,much better handled by concentration. The aim- of the dairying division - . of the- Department of Agriculture, he says, is^ tp concentrate the output to the principal ports, in order to secure the services of th^ best graders; and to - take advantage of, the more expeditious shipping fa^ciliti"^s. w JHTe instances the case of New Plymouth and Patea. ! pointing out that' had the whole of Taranaki outptfft been concentrated at New i P,lj3o*Qufchj..- in time the Home, boats ' woulS", have made New Plymouth a P, cw^ of : caJLI; when improved Shipping facilities^, were provided. Now Taranaki's outpftit'is ciivided between two ports, which" lessens considerably the eh-ance of* th!at district in getting the large , ocean - liners to call iihere- \ The Quantity shipped 'from the ,tW;O porrtjs vtpw amounts to "about 20,000 boxes a fortnight, or over 600 tons. That, together with wool, fiozen" meat, /'and, other produce, would be ample to attract a fortnightly steamer, if berthage accommodation existed here. And if that is the case now, what is it likely to ,be in five or, six * years' 1 time? Looking at the matter without "any '''local ,pre-judice-or partiality it is evident that in a yety- BB.drt-time the district as a A whole will be heavily handicapped for want of vxl t efficient ocean port 6f r its'own.

A fife, Which fortunately was suppressed in an incipient stage, happened at -Bartlett's studio on Tuesday aftersn,dbn. 'Mr 1 Bayne, the manager, was taking the photograph of a gentleman sitter, when he was called out of the stuktto* for a. minute. He heard the sitter calling out excitedly, and, on hurrying .back to the; studio, he found that the curtain, whiqfh 'draped the glass side of the studio,- had become ignited, and had carried the fire to the curtain that dovered the glass roof of the room. Mr Bayne, aided by Miss flill^ assistant, and the sittir, acted promptly in, tearing the curtains -down, -and thius preventing the flames igniting the woodwork of 'the ceiling, which was .very ;nmch scorched in places, and would have ignited in a few nj'ore seconds. The fire also did some damage to cushions in the studio* but, all thing's considered, Mr Bayne was lucky to escape with fo little loss of property. Several panes in the overhead 9kylight, and a couple in the s^de of the studio were cracked. The 'quirtjain, Wfted by a whiff of wind, must have come in contact with a stove, at which Mr Bayne was 'drying negatives, and thus become ignited in' 1 a moment, spreading the ifite all over the studio in less than a minute. Mr Bayne had an insurance over his property of £150 in the. Law Union and Crown. It is understood that the building, which is owned J»y Mr J. Veale, is also covered by insurance.

These complaints are the result of a disordered liver, which secretes bile in quality or quantity incapable of digesting food. Digestion requires a free flow of healthy bile, to ensure which Hoiloway*s Pills and Ointment have long been famous, far eclipsing every other medicine. Food, irregularity of living, climate and other causes are con- j stantly throwing the liver into dis- i order, but that important organ can j soon be regulated and healthily ad- j justed by Holloway'a Pills and* Ointment, which act directly upon its vital secretion. The. Ointment rubbed on the skin penetrates immediately to the liver, whSse blood and nerves it rectifies. One trial is all that is needed,, a cure will soon follow. People often wonder how it is some firms can undersell all others. The secret is in buying direct from the manufacturer, buying for cash, and selling for, cash. If anyone doubts the truthfulness of this statement, a visit % to the establishment of C. C. Ward, who bt%rs from the ;manufacturer, and buys and sells Icr cash, will satisfy ' everyone on this point.* Custard, no matter what the price of eggs— cheap, dear, or anyhow— cnake your custard without an egg in it, and enjoy it better.
