Tue 17 Apr 1894 - The Gippsland Farmers' Journal (Traralgon, Vic. : 1893 - 1905; 1914 - 1922)
Page 2 - THE DAIRYING INDUSTRY.
THE DAIRYING INDUSTRY.
THE success which has attended the
exportation of butter from Victoria
to Great Britain, has exceeded
even the most sanguine expectations.
In almost every instance the consignments
have arrived in good condition,
and have readily been sold at
the highest prices ruling on the
London market. This is very satisfactory
and encouraging to the expoiters,
who have done their best to
foster the industry by sending only
the best quality. But there is
another side to the picture. When
the dairymen get the returns from
their agents, the price quotpd for
their produce is very much lower
than what we axe accustomed to see
quoted in the London market reports.
Why ? Simply because too much
of the prohts is consumed in
paying the agent'6 commissions for
shipping, etc., in Melbourne and
in London. The consignments have
to pass through so many'hands that
the margin is reduced to a minimum.
Some may be inclined to say—" But
how are we to avoid all this 1 We
must place the matter in the hands
of an agent, otherwise how are we to
dispose of our produce ?" Granted ;
but could not a much simpler process
be adopted, and one that would give
more satisfaction to producer and
consumer alike T London is not the
only place to dispose of butter. For
instance, if the Gippsland factories
could make satisfactory arrangements
with the Co-opeiative Society of
England, whose headquarteis are
situated in Manchester, they might
possibly dispose of the whole of their
produce to this society alone. Anyone
who has been in Lancashire knows
well that very little butter is produced
there, almost the whole, of
their requirements coming from other
sources, Within a radius of 50 miles
from Manchester there are large
towns, densely populated, which are
aln ost totally without a local supply.
Then again, this Co operative Society
has another large branch in Newcastle,
in the North of England,
which alone could dispose of an
enormous amount. If satisfactory
arrangements could be made with the
Society, the expenses in connection
with the exporting would be reduced
to a minimum, as the association
could look after the shipments
themselves. They could open an
office in Melbourne, and place some
one of their number in chaige, who
could see to the details of shipping ;
the produce might then be landed by
the new line of steamers which will
shortly be started between Manchester
and Melbourne, and the consignments
would by means of the new Ship
Danal be placed almost at the doors
of the consumers. Thus a considerable
amount of money in the shape
commission would be saved, thereby
securing to the producer a greatpr
proportion of the profits of his labor.
The colony has started the industry
well, and we have reason to be per-
fectly satisfied with the =resUlte—
even if we have had to pay for our
expeiience—but the time has now
arrived when we must place the
matter on a more busiuess-like basis,
and leave a larger margin of profit
for the dairymen, in returu for the
care and trouble—not to say loss in
some instances — they have had to
face iu starting so valuable an industry.
We undrrrtnod there is no probability
of Traralgon raising a football team this
season. More's the pity.
Parcels f"r the following are at the
Tr.ralgun railway stition :—Morris,
lone-, Al'ms n, M'Carthv, Kelly,

Livingstone and. Keys.
On Monday next, Messrs Patterson
;md Son will sell at Melbourne, 303
acr.-s of valuable leasehold land at Lang
Lan^r, tin; particulars of which are set
forth in a ivertisement.
The Secretary for Agriculture is
highly phased with the prices which
were > btained for the poultry sent to
London by the Parramatta. He points
out ih:it when they were shipped tliey
were 2s Gd per pair here, and y«t some
w r ere sold for 7s per pair. He considers
als'j that. 9d t » lid for rabbits proves
that the trade is a good one. It may be
mentioned « n ihe -principle of giving
honor to whom honor is due, that Mr L.
L. Smith was the lirst to suggest the ,
gending h me of frozen poultry.

A financial authority, writing from
London says :—The credit of the
British Goven^nent, as judged by the
price of either its funded or unfunded
debt, never stood so high. The belief
in a long continuance of cheap money is
so great in the city that, for an issue of
£1,000,000 of Tn-asury Bills, not only
did the G overnment receive applications
for the unprecedented amomit of over
£14,250,000, but they were able to raise
the money required at a ratelof
interest
under 1 15-10 per cent.

that Mr Jas. Mortimer's h rse (M.ir.il),
which bus been reported as stolen, was
found on the 7th inst. by Sir Williim
0 Brieu, running in Mr D. O'Brien's
paddock at Cowwarr, and that it had

Giopsland graziers begin to doubt the
use of the stock tax whe.i, ag was the case
at Rosedale last week, the Standard savs
120 fine store bullocks were sold at the
low price of £3 17s per head. Ïhey
would doubtless find the establishment of
an export trade in beef much more to the
purpose.
Bis Honour Mr Justice
Holroyd
dez.lt
on Friday
with an application
for
an
order to review a decision of the magistrate
at Won Wron, near
ïnrram.
The
case was one in which
State
sahool
teacher, named HorbÈrt P.Jïammett, was
on February 26 last charged with
unlawfnily
assaulting a boy attending his schnol,
and mulcted in a penalty of 20a.
The
order was granted.
The recent dramatic performance at
Toongabbie on behalf of the Mansor
Relief Fund, lias realised £10. The
subscription list for the bereaved family
now amounts to about £50.
The suppliers to the CowKajrcr&mer^
have received 2^d per for tfee.past
two months, with which they are well
pleased. About 900 gallons per day, is
now being put through.
The weather duriDg the past^feflTdaye
has been unusually warm.
ThejfarmerV
and graziers are anxiously
awaiting a
good fall of rain which would have a
beneficial effect for
the winter.
Two
or three showers fell yesterday but much
more is wanted.
The Lands Department has refused
the application of the Rosedale Shire
Council for 37 acres on the common for
the purpose of a pound paddock. Since
the common has passed from the hands of
the Council, the reserve has been over run
with cattle, which do not pay the customary
fees.
Cr J. B. Pearaon, of Kilmany Park,
left Sale on Saturday afternoon, for a
trip to the old country. Prior to his
departure, Mr Pearson (says the Times),
was met at the Club Hotel by a number
of gentleman, and his health was proposed
by Mr M. L. Patterson, who, on
behalf of the company, expressed the
hopa-fiiat the'trip wpnld.be enjoyable in
every respect. Mr Pearson feelingly responded
to the toast, remarking that
he found it very hard to part, if only
for a few months, from his many warm
friends in Sale.'
The Swede, Erie Carlsen, who was
arrested for the murder of Teter Peterson,
at Elizabeth-street North, has been
relea^td on that charge, as it was proved
that he was at Drouin on the date of the
murder. Carlsen, however, was not at
liberty many hours when he was
arresied by Dehc'ivc Griffin on a charge
of obtaining small lums of money by
false pretences. The alleged offence was
committed at Baccbus March in March
last.
Mr H. Foster, M.L.A., one of the
members of the Water Supply Commission,
considers that the Railway department
might deal more liberailv with
llie mining industry. He says that a
trial lot of gold-bearing ore was taken
from a mine near Omeo and sent to
Bendigo for treatment. The cost of
mining the ore was 30s per ton. The
carriage fiom Omeo to Bairnsdale
amounted to £2 10s, and the railway
freight fiom Bairnsdale to Bendigo
(where it will be treated at a cost of £3
per ton) amounted to £5 10s. An effort
was made to get the Railway department
to reduce the rate for railway freithtrge,
but unsuccessfully.
