Considerable discussion occurred at the North Auckland Dairy Conference on a suggestion that a greater difference should be made in the price paid for varius grhdes of cream, as an incentive to farmers to strive for the finest grade (says the New Zealand Herald). One delegate said the practice of his company was to make any third grade cream received at the factory into butter, and send it back to the supplier, “And it serves him right if he has to eat it,” ho concluded. A novel monument has been erected by the farmers of Dundas County, Ontario, in the form of a marble pillar to mark the site where grow a famous apple tree. A century ago a- settler named MTntosh, when clearing the land for his home, found a wild apple tree which'- bore superior fruit. He cultivated it and named it “M'lntosh Red,” and from it has spread the famous fruit of that name. The tree was damaged by fire in 1896, but it bore fruit afterwards, dying at last at the end of a fruitful career of 115 years. The new Central Pharmacy, Devon Street (between Morey’s and Mollison’s), now open.
