MAORIS ACQUAINTED WITH MILK SUBSTITUTE.

(Special to the “ Star.") WANGANUI. May 22. A London cable yesterday referred to the making of milk from gras*. This secret was known to the Maoris hundreds of years ago. When the necessity of providing milk for baby arose, which was not an infrequent occurrence, the mother had to provide a substitute and that was the product of grasses finely pounded and liquefied. The idea would probably not find favour to-day as a substitute for humanised milk, but the splendid type of manhood who greeted the pakeha on arrival was a tribute to the simplicity of the diet of the Maoris.
