WHEY BUTTER.

SHOULD IT BE DISTINCTLY BRANDED? (By Telegraph.—Special to “Herald.”), WELLINGTON, August 31. Mr;Hornsby asked the Minister of Agriculture this 'afternoon if it were true that steps were to be taken, imposing upon factories that .made whey blitter the use of a distinctive bland. He urged that manufacturers of whey butter should bs heard on, the subject before anything definite were done! . Tile Hon. Air Mac Donald replied that there had been some negotiations on this matter. Mhey butter had been exported from New Zealand to. Loridoli, and it-liad not been .satisfactory to, other factorybutter, made in. this country. . It lur'd, in. short, prejudiced this'sale of New’ Zealand butter to a certain extent. 1 There cbiildi be nq doubt that there was a difference between the two butters, and it was being considered whether the definite brand, “whey butter,”, should not be put upon such butter. .In further reply to the member for Wairarapa, Mr, Mac Donald promised to give, makers of whey butter an opportunity of explaining, thejr side of the question before a’dccision was reached. •
