The Wairarapa Daily. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1880.

I '. « It is reported that 2 cwt. of cheesb per diem is being made at the Featherston Cheese Factory, and jit is to be Hoped that this ner experifflerit will provo a commercial success. Though the rates for cheese are now exceptionally', low, we do not see why it oannot be profitably produced by .the co-operatn'e system now ( adopted for the first time inJue-Wairarapa. If this new indus-

Feutherston is entitled to gi eat credit for taking the van in introducing this: industry. We hope to see the small farmers of Greytown, Cartertdhy, and Masterton follow thegood example, and each township try to turn out the largest quantity of the best quality of cheese,.:: Storekeepers and others who are interested in the prosperity of the farmers in their respective neighborhoc%sn'onld put their heads together to ttike tlie field in the same manner that the Featlierston settlers- TiaVe' done. At the present time butter cijnnot be made to a profit, but cheese can. Consequently thepropvietogsi of dairies are absolutely losing- money we§k--by week by adopting .a'wrong method of disposing of their milk. It has, we believe, been found that cheese can be made at half 1 thd'price per poiiud that butter can be produced. It, consequently, is in the'-long jun-a. better commercial nrticlejiHAgain, with an overstocked market, ;the .'farmers have to barter away their butter rather, than •sell it, whereas, with a properly conducted , cheese factory, there is no reason why -dairy, farmers should not receive week by week, in hard cash, the full, value.of every pint of milk which.they may have for sale. In America, in Victoriajin New South; Wales, and in the middle island of New Zealand,- cheese factories have been proved to be sound commercial, speculations, and it is quite time that we in the Wairarapa- should adopt not new methods'of 'a speculative charac--"ter, but the tried paths by : whichcolonists,;such as we are—or ought, to, be—have, in different ..parts.'of the world, .achieved independence for themselves, and progress for- their-dis-tricts. .We must not forget that-the railway line running. • through the ■Valley is a warning to us, that old-"' fashioned slovenly wayft will not pass; muster. Formerly the Wairarapa had no competitors—it was isolated. Now it is in open competition with every, district in the-colony,, and it must be as active, as enterprising, and as intelligent, as its neighbors in.both islands if justice is to be done to its admirable soil and climate,: - - ■ :( ' .
