A large meeting of 500 or 600 people was held last night to consider the repudiation of the movement of the Maoris in the land transactions.

O'Connor has sued Shepherd, Luckie, Reid, Donne, and Guinness, all members of Council, for <£100, on a charge of conspiracy togett.he Council to pass a vote of censure on him for land .purchases at Westport. The motion of censure was unanimously passed in the Council, as also one to memorialise the Governor, to withhold the Crown grants. It was subsequently agreed that the iatter motion should not- be put in etfect, proviaed O'Connor renounced the purchase, which he had agreed to do.

In churning whole tnilk I always proceod ! as follows: —The evening milk of on© day and the morning milk of the next day are churned together. The farmer is placed in ' a tub directly after milking, i.nti the laltor adde-1 to it the next morning In samtner i the milk.is allowed to stan I at most two feet. ; high in the tub ; in the winter about two and a-iiulf feet. In very t hot weather <ln moruing milk is cooled down to 16 or 20 degrees R. before it-is ad led to the evening- milk. Under these circujnstmces the milk is nearly always ripe for churning when the evening milk has stood 30 and the morning 24 hours. The temperature of the milk when beingchurned should be from one-half to one degree R warmer than when the cream is churned. The churning itself should be hurried as little as possible, since the butter globules being more widely seoarated in milk than in cream rather more is needed for them to colloet. In churning whole milk there is an increase in labor, owing to the necessity for more frequent churnings, but this is far outweighed by the other advantages resulting from it.
