BUTTER TRADE WITH FIJI.

The following particuhrs rr-garding tbe butter trade with the Fiji Islands have been handed to the Secretary of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association by Mr Meares, of the Union Insurance Com pany, who received it m reply to an enquiry made to a Fiji merchant regarding the butter trade m the itlanda. The matter is of great importance to the farmers of New Zealand at the present juncture :— "The paragraph m reference, to tinned butter is quite correct, or rather, was at the time mentioned, about 12 months ago The bu!k of iho tinned butter used ia Fiji was Ita ian, lut durine the last six or eight months it has been superseded by tho Now Zsaland, wbich has been somewhat batter thai it used to be. It has always seemed to us a puzz'e why New Zealand conld not tupply tho whole of the South ?e»o, but they have failed on sc count of the qaa'ity being moat unreliable. Boitsr, as you can understand, ia wor'.h less unices it fa really geed, and if good butter c.n be relied on by any packer, he may rest assured he would soon hivo a Urae demsnd. We had a consignment a short fnie ago from Melbourne of bntter ine, which was really pronounced to te rery good, although we could not alto gether endorse the general opinion. There ia a very larga consumption all over the Monde for good batter, but people prefer to do without any if they cannot get it good. We should think it an Industry that would pay well, with very little ex pemeln starting, and one involving very little risk to those who would Invest their etpitsl In It, We have no Italian butter m stock at pteaent, otherwise we would ■end you a tin. The tins are nicely got op with a patent fastener, which can be opened without the aid of the tin opei er. Pisoni Bros, Sydney, sre the principal Importers. They uaed to do a very large business m it. 0 In further connection with this ques tion, wrltei Mr Moires, I may In'orm you that eorae of the direct eteaimra bring with them from London a sufficient gupply of butter to last foe the return voyage, and this is m consequence of tbe alleged inability to seoure a proper supply of good butter In this colony. Surely such a state of things should not exist m what Is termed " an aerlonltura 1 colony."

BABY FARMING IN CANADA

+ Recent exposures m thin cliy, says a Bpeol*l from Montreal to the St Loaia Poet Diapatcb, regarding the treatment of foundlings, show that 35 per cent of the children die. The children are left at a certain establishment, and from there are 11 fumed out " to poor people In the city and suburbs, who are psid 10 cents a day per head to care for them. These pour people take almost no care of the infants, and simply starve them to d«Hth. The correspondent of the ' Dspa'ch" got a list of some of the people who have charge of the bable?, Bnd lately made a tour of Inspection. They bad beard that a visit wooid be paid to them, and most of them had made some preparation for it. The ' house of Mrs Dageual, a professional 11 baby farmer 'i at Saule-au-Reoolleot was fint visited. At the door of the house lay Ihlee little children, each with bare legs, breast and anna, with a frowzy bodioe around its middle, and a pleoe of dark cloth around its loins ; eaoh covered from bead to foot with large black files, which preyed voraciously upon tho soft flesh— cash ex posed to the pitiless heat of the Ban, which poured down upon them m un tempered severity. The house was small, •nd contained tbree apartments. In the kltohen was a etove, a table, and a " settle bed," and three rude rqu»re boxes upon lockers fur the uae of the children. The three children who had been upon the verandah were placed m two of these oribs la the third was a fourth child, but it was so small and so completely covered with flies that it was not eaßlly recognisable as human. It was a shock ing eight of reflect and misery. Th* little • thing was breathing heavily It moaned feebly now and then, and we a Hy opened two inteasely blue e;o', In wh eh there was unutterable appeal. An india rubber nipple, attuned to a bo' tie containing what looked like sour, curdled milk, hsd been thrust into Its month, and at this it sucked now and then, but was too feeble to draw the fiaid from the bottle. Its arms were hardly larger than a pipe-stem, ifs legs no thicker than a grown man's finger Its akin hung m loose folds upon its manikin frame, and its face had the look of age stamped upon It. The flies devoured every feature. An intolerable effluvia, heavy and sickening, exhalted fr< m the Hlrty clothes m the oracle. Of the four children odb will probably survive, but they are all wasted and have all suffered from neglect. They were all dirty, and all clutched at the india-rubber nipple, which, when the children are numerous, it not even attached to a milk bottle. At another place a child lay dying— starved to death. The third house had six children, all of them marked for death They were covered with flies. Ooe woman said she bad 24 children m her house m three yesre, and that all of tbero died. In nearly every place rlahed similar scenes met the eye, and the women who b»d charge of the unfortu nates seemed utterly he«nlecß and cruel.
