CHRISTMAS CREAM
TREBLE NORMAL DEMAND The average demand for cream at the end of the week in Wellington runs to about 6000 bottles, but the orders for Christmas Day amounted to 18,000 bottles, or 5682 pints of cream of the value of £7lO. The total amount of cream supplied by the city milk depot during Christmas week was 10,000 pints, for which £1250 was paid. As the cream is only the finishing touch to the Christmas pudding, trifles, fruit salads, etc., the cost of Wellington’s Christmas dinner —including turkeys, and other poultry, hams, etc., must have run into a very considerable sum. The milk supply was about normal, as a great number of people leave the city at that period of the year for holidays and camps. The average daily milk supply from the City Council depot is now about 5000 gallons, which is 4 per cent, higher than it was a year ago.
