The danger of an unsuitable label is being proved in ,the case of some designs adopted by Australia for the eastern trade. .Mr" R. Cook, M.H.R., who represents a dairying district, states that in Ehgland there are people who really believe .the Kangaroo brand on Australian butter means that the butter is made from kangaroos’ milk. In China and in the Far East generally, where Australian jams showing a parrot on .the label are received, keen disappointment is felt by the purchasers when they find that _the tins do not contain stev/ed parrots . A most extraordinary delusion is that of the Malays, who are said to have acquired the idea that Australian butter is made from dogis’ milk. Australina nomenclature, which delights in s,uch names as Dry Dog Creek, Howling and Kurri Kurrh naturally misleads the untutored mind, which, as Pope says, "Sees God in clouds or hears Him in the wind.”
