A resident of Timaru received something of a shock the other day when he discovered in the sugar on his table, at lunch time, a< sharp piece of glass, half an inch long and 3-16 of an inch wide (remarks the Herald). It had been taken from a 70ib bag of sugar, and was fortunately noticed before anyone at the table had had time to take it fpr sweetening. The resident in question intends to post the glass to the Sugar Reding Company, as a sample of what not to include in the contents of a bag of sugar. Speaking at the annual meeting of the Owaka Herd-testing Association Mr S. Bowman, of Dunedin, said that he estimated the loss to the dairymen on account of the overlapping of the cream waggons throughout Otago at between £30,000 and £4'o,ooo'. He had been trying during the past two or three years to lessen the expense in this direction, but, to use his own words, “being one. of those rascally proprietary men, the dairy companies are very suspicious of anything I say.” Tn referring to the state of the. butter trade in Dunedin at the present time, Mr Bowman said that there were’ seven firms making and selling butter in the. city, each with its own delivery waggon, whereas by common arrangement the whole trade could be done from one. factoiy, with two delivery waggons, with a corresponding saving of expense in the factories.
