The following are figures of interest re grading, computed at per thousand pounds, the month being divided into three periods of 10 daye:—Superfine--862, 904, 890; first grade 130, 088. 107second grade 008, 008, 003. The average for Ihe month was superfine 886, first grade 108, second grade 106. The percentage of second grade but-ter-fat is practically negligible and the farmers must be congratulated on the attention they are now giving to the cream.
