AUSTRALIAN MARKETS.

SYDNEY, Nov. 26. ■Wheat in the country is quoted at 4s a bushel, equal to about 4e 10jd ex trucks Sydney. Bagged grain is quoted at 4s lid. Flour, £l2 53 a. ton. Bran and pollard. £7 5s a ton. Potatoes: Tasmanian, £l6 to £lB a ton. Onions: Queensland, £2B a. ton; siherskins, £22. Maize, yellow, 5s a bushel TO PAIL AT DAIRYING. There is a variety of practices conducive to failure at dairying. The following were enumerated in an American paper years ago, but they may still be relied on : Buy any old cow, so long as it is a cow. Buy the cheapest food, if any, regardless of its content. Be careful not to test —your grandfather got along without it. If the cows don’t move smartly, prod them with a fork or milk stool ■ —it brightens the animals up. Milk and feed the cows when the notion strikes you or let them go over one milking; there is nothing in regularity. Breed your cows to any sort of scrub bull, no matter what breed. Use lukewarm or cold water for washing dairy utensils (if you must wash them) —it is less hurtful to the germs that lower the quality of dairy products. On no account wash your hands whilst milking—detrimental bacteria like dirt. Persevere with those methods—you can depend upon them breaking you in the end.
