MILK.
(To the Editor of the Tuapeka Times). Sir, — It is worthy of remark that while the bakers formed a compact to impose a high price on the Tuapeka inhabitants, Mr. Hanson, of the Heights, lowered the price of his milk to 4d. per quart, arid he now supplies the Wetherstones people with what they want of good pure milk as it comes from the cows at this price, while it is customary in this district to charge sixpence per quart, and what is still worse, a great share of it is water. Considering the price of butter and other commodities, I am of opinion that good milk could be sold (giving a good profit), at 4d. per quart. By the way, some time ago I was told a humourous story connected with the milk trade, worth telling. My informant went for his milk, and took with him two billies. The person that supplied the * milk asked what he -wanted, with the second billy. "Oh," said He, "I have brought the one for the milk and the other for the water, so that I can mix it ta my own liking when Igo home." — I am, &c, Crttmmib.
