tha author more spaced than was intended has been given in these letters to the race ting of the british dairy farmers and yet it seems as if more has been left out than written the reader will notice ho- closely wo have been studying the qaestioa its a problem lcaviug oat the tighter matters of places people aud incidents kol a word of social festivites excursions banquets speeches uew acquaintances and pleasant gossip no thing cl icencs and sights new onoogh and striking enough to make a new world dairy man forget that he hsd ever heard of milk nothing aboat the wan try seats and parks the village greens tho homes of cottagers of lordr and even of royally foronrercarslon caded with a visit to haudrfagham the home ot the prince ot wales and a banquet given by his boyal highness nothing about the old cathedrals snd castles and yet the writer confesses to dropping an hoofs dairy coufcrencc at tranilinghim college much as a boy would drop a bock for any new sight or sport for a tramp to the nearby casic list was the first one he had ever seen and yal after throe months of sight seeing till satiated to the point ot indiffer eooc an afternoon at canterbury cathedral was an

qsoahycnjoy and let yoarmlereil in the subject rsakethe letters easier reading it may be that when the study is completed we may all feetinclincd for two or throe gossipy letters whichmsybelhecreaminj as it were of the iutcreriiojieaturcs of the trip and hiving no other than this figura tive reference to dairying 1 immediately following the meetings of the british dairy farmers determined to learn the present state of ihe english market and our own standing therein as pwdacers this lice of investigation em braced a ran through england scotland and ireland and its chief feature wasa series of of liverpool ghugow dublin and bristol the lessons learned in these interviews were j ot exceeding value and i will try to give the chief points without going too much in to voluminous detaij first of ail i must deliver two special messages to our cheese- makers with which mx widgery of bristol charged me on the side of every cheese box the figures cf the weight of the cheese it contains should be tcatcilltd in plain figures stencils arc frequently used for the athkte gfjarforke and this is well but the weights are nearly always written in weil often badly written indeed some times not readable it often happens top that pieces of the box on which the weight is written slit off and the weight is lost itis impossible as things are to tally lq0cheeses twice alike v from the tm- porters point of view it is more important that ihe weight of the cheese be easily de ciphered than that the name of the factory be made plain the latter is a good thing j in connection with excellence of qual ity to help to make a reputation and to ad vertise ones factory but the former is ab- solcteiy necessary for the convenient and correct checking ot weights this may by some be lhoght a trifle bat to the wise man nothing is a trifle which is essential to highest success the importer is the bcyer of our goods and it is to onr interest to please him cxeu as it is o oar interest to satisfy the consumer here then is an opportctity for onr factory men to make a very title extra care and labor tell profit able on car cheese exports the second message wis in the form of k cirncx to fitarnci concert af be00kv1ile the concert under the auspices of the broofcvilie literary society which took place a couple of weeks sgo was one of the best ever held in kassagaweja the programme rendered witin every instance highly satisfactory toe first piece was instrumental by miss lamb of ac ton t which received a hearty encore as did her other pece rendered daring the evening the next wax a glee by the acton qaxrtette clab which was very much appreciated and their appearance during the evening elicited hearty applause from tbe audi ence the next wis a recitation by kiss mcfhail nassagaweya entitled how he saved stmicusetv which was rendered in a manner that vroald put to shame a more pretentious elocutisiiit the next was a song by mr gailagherj of gnelph who figured most prominently during the even- ing he brought down the house in bis character songs entitled matters that make me tired and im gettinga big boy now he appeared three times and responded to tbe encores on every occasion the next was miss johns of guelph whose beautiful voice as she wjibled her sweet j songs wis heartily appreciated and she was encored the last bat cot least was the singing of mr k mcphail who arrived re cently from australia he rendered ome of the airs of that far off clime in a most excellent manoer tboconcert was brought to a close by tow of thanks to those who took part and to the chairman great credit is due to the presidentpf the society mr john irving and to william l kennedy the secretary for making the concert such a success ucratry l bed boom sett complete for 117 ops the english taw forbids tbe importation o foreign i goods with english names on them intended or calculated to lead the cousumefio believe them to be of english manufacture the customs authorities will refuse o iplear goods which snpear to be speight dc sons forniuire shop farnitare proportionately low so intended for instance they would de tain ccods marked with the words leeds m scchester or birmingham or even english ca odder the latter woald be sapposed to e resting on the reputation of a particular cheese made in a certain dis trict in england xow it sometimes occurs that an ecgltih name on canadian cheese gitex the importer a deal ot trhuble toclear it and causes irexations delay because the came on the cheese happens to suggest in the customs otscers an intention to deceive the british public i need not say that any cameoncanadianiiheese it their legitimate ly being a canadian as well as an english name but though it may have no unlawful significance the officer will retain the goods cntil the iraportershall have convinced him that the simhirityofnasesisamere coinci dence the canadian shipper may easily provide against any such annoyance or loss to importerc by simply placing the word canada in close connection with any name en the cheese iwhich is english as well as canadian for instance instead of leeds or chedder write canadian leeds or canadian cheddar i hid not l3g to speak with importers before i found confirmation of my conctu- ciouc given in a prerious letter of ah axevrrjunla itttee t low rbicrs a liverpool importer emphasised the fact that for any extensive trade the limit of prices was necessarily low when cheese becomes higher- priced than meatsaad other available strong foods the quantity con sumed would at once decrease this ts be cause ia england the bclkcf cheese is eaten as a food and tue consumer bays it not so much because ot any particular preferance for it as because it is t food and a cheap one true it is a convenient food not re quiring cooking always ready and sppetis- ing but these are qaalities for which it does not care to pay luxury prices in a word he is not wedded to the consumption of cheese and for economy sake- will accept a substitute in otjier foods when the latter are cheap enough and palatable the limit of the price of cheese therefore depeods much cpon the prices of foods available as substitutes in the op id ion ot my infor mant the probable limit for cheese would be 50 khilungs sterling landed in england as to batter when it rises andaly in price liia substitute margarine will be used by many ami a mere tbe limit to which prices of batter may rise before they will be so high as to caase ooasamptioa to decrease riving place to margarine was placed by my lietrpool aathority at from ii to 10 pence or at about 10 to 25 cents per pound retail this limit may be thought placed too low bat it is quite certain that there are consumers in england who will not boy batter at f to 10 pence when they may bay tpargariae at 5 to 8 peace if all this be true it may be expected that where there are not other causes inch aaitfff competition tokeepdown ths price both of batter andjof cheese the high price itself wfll caase cpniamptiob to decrease and live prices a cfciwnward tendency on f- and stiffening the demand in view of the whole sltaauon we may bellevs that the competition of the future will bo along the limof cost or modcctlon u wall as quality of product i hve al- ready toachsd upon hit phase of the fob ject but irmlylt will not be thought vain repetition to speak of such important mat ten as often aa tbty press the mielves for- ward in our investigation of the i abject this it not tbe only phase ot tbe subject that will be so imperative la its character and so important in its hearing that on the principal of line aponliofl and precept apou precept will demeud reiteration i have never been accasod of being a pessimist hut i have written iq much in this connection hat is on the darkside that it may bnihoaght that the picture might be painted brighter i will quote what prof sheldon laid in lk but was not een by myself till after having penned the matter in these letters in trikuigconflrraa lion of all i have written what on earth es dairy faruiingcomfng to if a qaery typical of what one hears on every aide most of all in districts where cheese and butter are leading products and where the milk trade is little known it is likely enough true that farmers have not for many yean been qoiutio near their wits end aa they- are now in my own lime i have known cheese and batter lower in price no doabt than they are now bat never with a slacker trade or a more languid demand at ibis tlms of the year the month of march is down below what ought to be a summers price and almost always has been for twenty years or more i may isy indeed that if we throw the twenty years into balk and take the mean ot them we shall lorely find that i speak within the mark and as for cheese well cheese commands no sale at all worth the name it is disposed of no doabt ia some sort of way from time to time and a transfer is made from farmer t4 dealer but it is not often sold oatand out and cuceforiil as it used to be in days gone by he goes on to say that cattle too had not kept their value and even the milk trade was limp and languid and that farmers were ta danger of being clean beaten out by the times toadies a pen margarine and claims that u dairying will have mors to contend with as the years roll on he despairs of the private dairy and looks to the factory system for relief most of these things he says are orarcrxtticownr and they have a heavy bearing oa the ques tion of dairy fsrrningj- competition is keener than ever bat not b seen ssit will be perhaps in any case it is clear that our present systems of dairying have such a strain on them aa no one expected a strain which many of them cannot bear and the question of factory ttriut farm- hoase will soon have to be solved he then speaks hopefully of the strong pull being and to be made against the current of depression canadian fanners will learn from all this that while there it no royal road before them there are others whose road is even less smooth and if these others may be hopeful surely they msybe it it pleasant to turn from this phase ot the subject to some of the many good thiags said touching the reputation of our cheese which reputation is indeed veritably a feather in our cap mr price bristol said he bad entered canadian cheddar cheese in ike jubilee class of the frorne show in the heart of the english cheddar district in the cheddar valley and oaf of aborfi 100 entri dian came out best in over 60 entries the firm got highly wmuknded on cans- dian cheese this too was under unfavor able conditions for the show coming oil in september they had to exhibit the first summer cheeses i rosy here correct an error which crept into a previous letter where i referred to samples of cheese being officially examined and none found adulterated the n amber of samples was not about 300 but 112- itself a large namber however the follow- ing was the report cabled agricultural journals admit that seeingthatll2 samples were analysed without a single example being found of cheese containing extrane ous fat the canadian commisiscer it justified ia asserting that filled cheese com mon
