REMOVING MILDEW.

.Mildew marks on linen and cotton stored in a damp cupboard are not difficult to remove if they have not been neglected for a long period. Soap the affected parts while these are wet and then cover the marks with precipitated chalk rubbing this well in. Leave for an hour or so and then rinse out, repeating the process if necessary. Where mildew lias been neglected, rub damp salt on the marks, and expose the material to bright sunshine. This procedure may have to be repeated on several days, but it is nearly always successful in the end.

“There should soon be ;i reduclnm in the retail price of butter,” said Mr Justice Frazer during the hearing of the dairy workers’ dispute by the Arbitration Court in Auckland (states the Herald), His Honour had referred to the most re - cent movement on the London market and said he had noticed that our retail price did not go down in sympathy with the Home market so rapidly as it went up. Later in the hearing the employers were trying to show why it was necessary to provide for a tit) and 65-hour week in the butter and cheese factories, when his Honor said: “Surely you are not going to tell us that the bottom has dropped out of the butter business.'' Counsel for the employers denied any such intention, but said that the majority of the suppliers were farmers and the bottom had fallen out of farming. “Yes, through land speculation,” was the Judge’s rejoinder. An official of one of the large concerns said that a fair season was expected, hut that conditions were not too rosy for the farmers.
