Last year, ia addition to ita own production, England received 130,000 tons of batter and 91,700 tona of chR-st? from over the seaa, to the value of Ll6 387,000, and daring the last five years the value of dairy produce imDorted lias averaged 116,230,000 a year. Here is a "nod strong current or currency that Ifsw Zealand ought lo try and get a fertilising supply from. It only requires " headworks "to give tha race a start. I: ia a fact, though oar people miy doubt it, that batter and cheese making in the ordinary way cm be improved upon. Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and Franco have found it to be so, and are finding it more beneficial to provida teachers in dairying than in grammar and geography. Po.-ple who profes3 to know, declare that good New Zetland batter is far superior—that Is when freah—to the D inish batter with all ita modern improvements. If that ia 80, all that ia needed !3 to make our batter good, to have it properly packed and properly shipped, to secure, well, at least tha odd money on England's dairy bill. Every community has its " prominent The Atlanta Constitution sketches one to the life in the following terms :

. When individuals and the masses of a community find themselves, day after day and year after year, face to face itith a - fellow citiz:n who is doing nothing, has never done anything, and never proposes to do anything except stand around ia an eloquently impressive style, they naturally go to work to utilise him. Sometimes •they make him the chairman, president, or secretary of various organisations, and they make a kind of show figure of him, working him into matters of 3 social or political nature. In the course of time be becomes a necessity, * and whenever anything is to be done it is generally given op that the case is hopeless unless the prominent citizen can be secured. Age ' deals gently with this popular favorite, and . the younger generation gradually comes to look upon him as a man who could have climbed the dizzitat heights of fame, but whose modesty and public spirit led him to voluntarily tarn over all the prizes of life to his friecds. Iron gives the following instance of American naval discipline. During a 7 recent cruise of the United Scatej mau-of- ' war Michigan, a sailor, who is a Chicago man, attempted to throw an exhausted quid of tobacco over the rail into the water. His aim was bad, and the quid . fell on the deck. An officer observed it. He would not allow the sailor to touch it, but ordered the entire crew to rig up a gun tackle. The gun tackl* is a hawser thick, and weighs 25001b. Being seldom, if ever, used, it wa3 stowed aw2y in.the hold and.covered up. To get it on deck' and rig it up Is a long, hard task. A Butthe gtfntapkle was rigged up, and the .commanding officer attached to it a silk thread. He made a loop in the thread, - lassoed the quid of tobacco, made it fast, ; all -'hands made a long pull and a strong . pull, and the quid of tobacc j"was hoisted r .overboard. Then the gnn tackle was .taken down, and again stowed away and . covered up in the hold. It required 11 consecotive. hours of hard work to get the r qufd 'overboard, and it is the opinion of the commanding officer that no more quids of tobacco will 'be thrown on the desk of the Michigan for some time to come.
