Shooters who are in the habit of keeping game in cold storage until it is wanted for the table may not be aware that .under the existing regulations it is illegal to keep game or trout in cold storage beyond the limit of the season unless express permission is obtained from an acclimatisation society. Recently there was a prosecution in the South Island for a breach of this rule. It is also illegal to sell or exhibit for sale pheasants or trout. A sharp contradiction of the statements that a profitable market awaits New Zealand butter in Japan is seen in a letter received in Auckland from an English merchant in Kobe, who has been associated with Eastern trading for over 30 years. jWiriting under date 6th April, the merchant said the butter producers of Kokkaido had completed their programme for next season’s production, which they estimated at 2232 tons. Greater activity would be directed toward export, and it was understood that the Government would grant a subsidy of £3OOO. It was also understood that particular attention would be paid to the Shanghai market. With regard to the home (Japanese) market, the whole of the sale prices had been fixed, ranging from lOd to 13d per lb. Japanese butter producers are protected by an import duty of 37 sen (or more than sd) per lb, and are subsidised for export shipments. The merchant concludes: “This is frankly the situation, which very effectively prevents the importation of butter on anything but a very small scale.” Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
