HINTS TO MAORI MILLERS.
We wish to call the attention of our Maori Millers to the necessity of taking more care to send their flour to market in good condition. After grinding, it should be spread out for forty-eight hours and allowed to coo! before being put into bags. If this is not done, and tlie flour is put into bags while hot, it is liable, (o become sour. li. is very important thai ibis should be attended to", otherwise om-iScw Zealand Hour will get a bad name, and will not fetch a good price here or elsewhere. It is in consequence of
some of tills bail Hour having been sent to the neighbouring Colonies, ihnt the Maories new receive a lower price for their flour thaa they would otherwise do. Ihe Tuakau Natives have agreed among Ihe:>;selves not to allow any iloiir from diseased or damaged wheat »o"be sent to Auckland from their district. This is wise. If ihis -example were generally fo!!ov:eii, it would greatly tend to raise iho dr-n-acier of our IVew Zealand grown flour, and the price obtained by the producer would be increased.
