It is all very well, remarks the Melbourne Leader, to say the Victorian farmer is deficient in enterprise, but how about the “ best butter cow /; at a recent show, who was bowled out in operating a cream tube that he had concealed up his sleeve, and from which he managed to let the cream flow down into his pail while engaged in “ milking for the test." But for the fact that he had incautiously allowed some of the cream to trickle down on the outside instead of the inside, of his bucket, and thus gave himself away to the judges, there is little doubt but he w'ould have been able to put up a splendid record. And now that the trick has been exposed there will be left an uncomfortable feeling of doubt as to the bona Jides of some of those tall records we hear of from America.
