[No. 78
cause the package, and also each cheese, to be clearly and
indelibly branded with a registered brand ; and with respect
to such brand the following provisions shall apply :—
(1.) It shall consist of a stencil, or rubber stamp, to be
supplied by the Department of Agriculture, or of
such other description of stamp as is supplied by
the owner and approved by that department.
(2.) The cost of such stamp, if supplied by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, shall be 6s. for a stencil and
8s. for a rubber stamp, to be prepaid by the owner
of the dairy.
(3.) Such stamp shall, according to the class of the
dairy and the description of the butter or cheese,
or milk, be in such of the Forms Nos. 5 to 9
in the Schedule hereto as may be applicable :
Provided that where the owner supplies the stamp
the form in the Schedule may be varied in such
manner as the department approves, but so never-
theless that the particulars specified in the form
in the Schedule are clearly set out.
-
The appropriate brand shall in every case be so used as
to correctly indicate the true description of the butter or
cheese, or milk. -
In addition to the registered brand, the owner shall
also clearly and indelibly mark on each package the true
net weight of the contents thereof ; and, if he thinks fit so
to do, may also mark the same with his trade-mark (if any). -
All branding and marking of packages of milled butter
(except actual shipping-marks) shall be in red colour, and
all branding and marking of other packages shall be in some
dark colour other than red. -
It shall not be lawful—
(1.) For the registered owner of a dairy to allow his
registered brand to be used for the purpose of
branding any dairy-produce that has been manu-
factured elsewhere than in his registered dairy ;
nor
(2.) For any person other than the registered owner of
a dairy to use such owner’s registered brand for
the purpose of branding any dairy-produce that
has been manufactured elsewhere than in such
registered owner’s dairy ; nor
(3.) Except in the case of the registered owner of a
dairy, and in accordance with these regulations,
for any person to brand any dairy-produce with
the words, or any combination or abbreviation
of the words, “New Zealand” “Dairy,” “Fac-
tory,” or “Creamery.” -
For the purposes of the last-preceding clause of these
regulations, the branding of dairy-produce shall be deemed
to extend to and include the branding of any package
containing dairy-produce.

every other Order in Council heretofore made appointing
ports or stores, are hereby revoked. -
With respect to dairy-produce for export to the United
Kingdom or to any country or colony other than the Aus-
tralian Colonies or the South Sea Islands, the following pro-
visions shall apply :—
(1.) All butter shall, by the owner thereof, be placed in
one of the appointed stores at least four clear
days before shipment, for the purpose of being
graded and frozen.
(2.) All cheese shall, by the owner thereof, be forwarded
direct to the steamer at the port of shipment in
time to allow an examination to be made by the
Grader prior to shipment, or, if the Grader so
directs, be placed for that purpose in one of the
appointed stores. -
With respect to dairy-produce for export to the Aus-
tralian Colonies or the South Sea Islands, the following pro-
visions shall apply :—
(1.) All butter shall, by the owner, be placed in one of
the appointed stores at least twenty-four hours
before shipment, for the purpose of being graded.
(2.) All cheese shall, by the owner thereof, be forwarded
direct to the steamer at the port of shipment in
time to allow an examination to be made by the
Grader prior to shipment, or, if the Grader so
directs, be placed for that purpose in one of the
appointed stores. -
When forwarding any dairy-produce to the store or
steamer as aforesaid the sender shall at the same time notify
the Grader at the port of shipment, giving full particulars
of the number of packages, together with their brands, con-
tents, and weights. -
Exporters of butter or cheese consigning the same to
the appointed stores must make their own arrangements
for the transit of the produce to and from the store, and
also for its shipment, including insurance, and protection
from damage or loss of any kind, as the Government under-
take no duty and incur no liability except in respect of—
(1.) The payment of the cost of freezing and storage of
butter.
(2.) The payment of the cost of the storage of cheese.
(3.) The handling in and out of the store of both butter
and cheese. -
The free storage will be for one month, or until the
earlier loading-date of the first vessel having available space.
If for any reason the produce is not shipped within the
month, or by the first ship whose loading-date is during the
month, the exporter will be liable for all storage thereafter. -
As storage space is limited, no cheese will be accepted
at the store which can be sent direct from the factory to
the ship’s side, except where the Grader otherwise directs,
as hereinbefore provided.
DISPOSAL OF CONDEMNED DAIRY-PRODUCE.
- In every case where dairy-produce is condemned by
an Inspector, he shall, at the cost and expense in all things
of the owner, cause the same to be removed to a boiling-
down works, soapworks, or other place, where such produce
shall be so treated as to be absolutely unfit for human con-
sumption, and the net proceeds (if any) realised therefrom
shall be payable to the owner. It shall be the duty of the
owner to assist the Inspector in carrying out the provisions
of this clause, and for that purpose to do whatever the
Inspector directs.
PENALTIES.
- Every person who commits any breach of these regu-
lations is liable to a penalty not exceeding fifty pounds.
