REGULATIONS.

EXCEPTIONS AS TO REGISTRATION AND BRANDING.

1. Nothing in these regulations relating to registration, branding, or stamping shall apply,—

(1.) To butter or cheese which the owner of a dairy manufactures therein not for sale or export, but solely for the use of himself, his family, servants, and workmen, and which is so used accordingly; nor

(2.) To butter which the owner of a dairy manufactures therein not for export, but for sale in prints or pats, and which is so sold accordingly, or for supply to a packing-house, there to be mixed or blended into milled butter, and which is so mixed or blended accordingly.

REGISTERED DAIRIES AND DAIRY-OWNERS.

2. Subject to the provisions of clause 1 hereof, it shall not be lawful, after the 1st day of November, 1899, to manufacture butter or cheese, or condensed or preserved milk, except in a registered creamery, factory, or private dairy, or to mix or blend butter into milled butter except in a registered packing-house, and in accordance with these regulations.

3. For the purposes of registration, dairies are divided into the following classes:—

(1.) “Creamery” or “factory”; meaning thereby a dairy the milk-supply whereof is obtained from not less than fifty cows.

(2.) “Private dairy”; meaning thereby a dairy the milk-supply whereof is obtained from less than fifty cows.

(3.) “Packing-house”; meaning thereby a dairy in which butter manufactured elsewhere is mixed or blended into milled butter.

4. The owner of a dairy who desires to register the same shall make application to the Secretary for Agriculture at Wellington.

5. The application shall be in the Form No. 1 in the Schedule hereto, and shall contain the particulars therein indicated, and specify the class of dairy for which the registration is desired.

6. If satisfied that the statements in the application are true, and that the dairy premises are in a sanitary condition, the Secretary shall register the dairy as a private dairy, a factory, a creamery, or a packing-house, as the facts may warrant, and issue to the owner a certificate of registration in the Form No. 2 in the Schedule hereto.

7. The certificate shall continue in force until cancelled under the provisions in that behalf hereinafter contained.

8. So long as the certificate continues in force (but no longer) the dairy named therein shall be deemed to be a registered dairy of the class specified in the certificate, and the owner named therein shall be deemed to be the registered owner of the dairy.

9. In the event of the registered owner ceasing to be the owner of the dairy, the Secretary, upon being satisfied as to the facts, may by memorandum under his hand indorse on the certificate the words “Transferred to [Full name of the new owner],” and transfer recorded, this day of , 1 ,” and shall record the transfer in his register accordingly, whereupon the new owner shall be deemed to be the registered owner.

10. The certificate may be cancelled by the Secretary in any of the following events:—

(1.) If the registered owner so requests; or

(2.) If, for the period of twelve months ending on the 30th day of June in any year, the owner has not used his registered brand as hereinafter provided; or

(3.) If during any period of twelve months the owner has been thrice convicted of any offence or offences against the said Act or these regulations; or

(4.) If the owner fails or neglects to remedy any defect in the sanitary condition of the dairy or its appliances, when required by an Inspector so to do by notice in the Form No. 3 in the Schedule hereto.

11. In any case where the number of cows from which the milk-supply of a registered private dairy is obtained increases to not less than fifty, the owner of the dairy may surrender his existing certificate, and may obtain in lieu thereof a certificate of registration as a creamery or factory, if he is in other respects entitled thereto.

12. In any case where the number of cows from which the milk-supply of a registered creamery or factory is obtained is reduced to less than fifty, the following provisions shall apply:—

(1.) The owner may surrender his existing certificate, and obtain in lieu thereof such other certificate of registration (if any) as he is entitled to.

(2.) If the owner does not surrender his existing certificate as aforesaid, the Inspector, unless satisfied that the reduction is temporary and accidental, may by notice in the Form No. 4 in the Schedule hereto, require the owners to increase the number of cows to not less than fifty within the period, not exceeding one month, specified in the notice, and if the owner fails or neglects so to do the Secretary shall cancel the certificate.

13. Every cancellation of a certificate shall be recorded by the Secretary in the register.
