Industry Progressing. 
A large area of South Australia is 
eminently adapted to successful dairy‘ng. 
and while the snmmer is dry, rendering 
it necessary to make provision for suc- 
culent feed for several months, the tem- 
perate nature of the climate enables the 
dairyman to keep his cows in the open 
right through the year, the natural 
shelter in timher country being sufficient, 
except on a limited number of days of 
extreme wet and cold. Stall feeding for 
weeks at a time is unknown; the necessary 
shelter-sheds can he cheaply provided, 
while the labor of feeding is. under these 
conditions, reduced to ’a minimum, In the 
northern districts conditions are not so 
favorable as in the south, but even here 
dairying can be profitably carried on ; 
the fuct that land is much cheaper com- 
——sheep-breeding combined 
pensates for the shorter period during 
which the uatural herbage supplies 
practically all the feed required. In 
some of the driest of our farming 
ares dairying has largely replaced 
wheat growing, and, although the 
yield per cow is naturally not so 
high as under more favorble con. 
ditions, still low rents of natural 
pastures erable the farmer to make a 
fair profit. 
This industry, thcugh of great 
magnitude, has not made progress as 
was anticipated. This is probably due 
to the fact that wheat growing and 
offer great 
attractions to the farmer. These in- 
dustries require a great deal less labor 
than dairying, besides which the work is 
not continuo:s So long as_ highly 
profitzble returns can be obtained from 
the production of cereals, and the breed- 
ing of lambs, the dairying industry is 
hardly likely to make the progress that 
would otherwise he possible, though there 
has of: late years been steady ‘and con- 
tinned development in the industry, 
especially in the northern districts. In 
the south and south-east, where con- 
ditions are more suitable, there has, on 
the other hand, been very little exten- 
sion. : wee” ah ae 
Large quantities of butter are exported 
to Broken Hill and: Western Australia 
throughout the year ; in spring months 
shipments are made to Great Britain. 
During the past four years there has been 
a marked increase in oversea export of 
cash, R, Correll is enabled to sell the best quality Strings, Instru-

butter, as the following figures will show : 
193-4. 229 tons; 1904-5. 852 tons; 
1905-6, 590 tons ; 1916 7, 878 tons, 
Official figures show that during the 
las four years the number of milch cattle 
has increased 17 per cent. The quantity 
of butter produced in 1906 (excluding 
butter made for home: use in private’ 
families) reached 8,873.6301bs, compared 
with 8,226,505lbs the previous year, 
Cheese is not made on such an extensive 
seale proportionately to butter. 
Practically all the cheese is manfac- 
tured on tho Cheddar system, and an 
article of high quality is produced in the. 
best factories. 
Special facilities are afforded by the 
railways for the conveyance of perishable 
goods, and cream is forwarded by the 
dairymen to the city factories from 300. 
miles distant. Paymentis usually made 
on the butter-fat percentages ;° and in 
order to afford suppliers an opportunity 
of checking the returns received from 
private factories the Govermeut estab- 
lished a butter factory in» connection 
with the oxport freezing works at Port 
Adeluide. At this factory every can of 
cream is sampled, and the quantity of 
butter it will produce is ascertained by 
the usual methods and the supplier paid 
accordingly. 
A considerable number of butter fac- 
tories have been erected in South Aus- 
tralia, andthe butter produced ° is 
generally of high quality, The butter 
made from the milk of cows grazing .on 
the natural herbage of the country is of
