It was a really excellent singing organiza- tion that gave this two-act opera. Larger companies have appeared here in "The Mikado" two decades ago, but they were not better balaticed than the one heard last evening. The male and female choruses individually showed niuch merit, éspecially the former, and the ensemblt, particularly in the final numbers had great volume. There was perfect blending of the voices in the duet and quartette numbers, and re- calls were numerous. Marked dramatic ability was, shown by the principals, especially by the comedians, F, Harlan Erickson, the lord high executioner, and Chester Dairy Subjects Are Discussed By Oanada's Chief - Commis- sioner and Others at Eastern Ontario Convention. At the Thursday morning session of the Eastern Ontario Dairymen's Convention, addresses were deliver- ed by J. H. Seott, official butter grader; G. G. Publow, chief dairy instructor; "Preliminary Studies in Commercial Rennets," by Df. B. G. Hood, chief dairy research division, and by Joseph Burgess, chief grader. In the afternoon, Dr. J. H. Ruddick, Ottawa, spoke. All the addresses were highly interesting and instructive to the delegates and the attendance at the session was the largest, the con- vention hall being packed to the doors. One of the most interesting and thorough reports of the convention was delivered by Mr. Joseph Burgess, chief grader, in which he reviewed the activities of his department dur- Bright as Poo Bah, Jessie Evans as Katisha sang with great dramatic ef- | feet.

Prices had been high and the average quality, taking the whole season into consideration, was slight- ly better than in 1924. The cheese situation was more satisfactory than butter, however, the exports were much larger last year than for some years past. The reputation of the Canadian produce ers on the British market had gone up considerably in recent years. Mr. Burgess took up the figures for all Canada on percentage, show- ing the number of boxes and the percentage of first, second and third grades. In Ontario there were 1,289,640 boxes. The percentage of first grade was 91.4; second, 17.9, and, third, 0.7. Quebec figures were 584,098 boxes, with first grade at 74.1; second, 24.6, and, third, 1.3. The total for all Canada was 1,895,- 112 boxes, with a percentage of 85.6 first grade, 13.1 second grade and 1.0 third grade. The figures given for 1924 showed 1,684,356 boxes, with 84.38 percentage first grade, 14.23 second ahd 1.02 third. Ontario, the speaker said, was di- vided into four districts, the West- ern district, taking in all districts west of Toronfo; Central Ontario, extending from Toronto to and in- cluding Lennox and Addington; Eastern Ontario covers from Lennox and Addington to the boundary line of Quebec and nofth to the Ottawa River; Northern Ontario includes Nipissing and North Bay-districts. - Figures Given. Mr. Burgess gave figures for the distriéts and by counties, the figures for the different counties being of great interest. The figures for Frontenac county showed the num- ber of factories to be fifty. Accord- ing to Mr. Burgess' report there are two 100 per cent, factories in these; 20 are 95 per cent. and over, 15 are 90 per cent. and over and 13 are under 90 per cent. Of the 692 fac- tories in all the counties, 20 are 100 per cent., 267 are 95 per cent. and over, 179 are 90 per cent and over and 236 are under 90 per cent. The chief grader took up the im- portant question of cheesemaking in cold weather and declared that judg- ing from the make of cheese in the cold fall and winter months, many of the factories were not equipped for making cheese properly during the cold weather. Mr. Burgess said he did not remember when there was so many cheese of a pasty or bony texture. Lack of equipment for the proper making and curing of cheese has not only made more second grade cheese, but has injured the repu- tation of Canadian cheese generally. ' an---- Poor Made Cheese.

H Scott, official butter | grader, in his address this morning, stated that there 'were 237 cream- eries in Ontario apart from the 18 {in Northern Ontario. In the 19 coun- {ties there are 75 creameries. There were more creameries in Eastern {Ontario every year, the speaker said, {and in 1924 over 16,000,000 pounds iof butter was made in the 19 coun- jties. Eastern Ontario, Mr. Scott {said, was fast becoming a creamery {district. Carleton leads with 3,500, {000 pounds, Hastings with 1,500,- {000 pounds and Victoria with 1,400,- i {1000 pounds. | Mr. Scott regretted the fact that {1ast year there was 78 per cent. first {grade, but this had dropped 15 per | cent, He hoped that there would be {an improvement there. Mr. Scott declared that Eastern Ontario had i been leading from 10 to 15 per cent. over the other provinces, but this year had lost 'ground and was lead- ing with only about 2 per cent. above the average. Mr. Scott that there was no dQubt quality of cream in th bad and the best average presented to the graders was 49 per cent. first grade. One distyict alone went down 36 per cent. The cause of this was from hold- ing the cream too long at too high a temperature. Mr. Scott contended that the ranitary conditions of the factories were not what they should be. He visited half the factories last year and had found many of them much below the standard. The speaker referred to the exhibi- tions of butter and regretted that this question was not more seriously taken up by the producers. It was generally left to about half a dozer to do the exhibiting and keep up the reputation of the province' He told of- the number of prizes that Mani- |toba had carried off in the exhibi- {tions, but declared that Ontario had done well in proportion. COMMERCIAL RENNETS "Prelimindry Studies in Commer- cial Rennets," was dealt with by | Mr. E. G. Hood, chief of the division ! of Dairy Research, during the Thurs- day morning session. The speaker stated that in Canada, commercial rennet extract is now almost exclu- 'sively used in the making of ched- der cheese. He pointed out in May 1925, an investigation of the sub- jeét was commenced and as the work is still in progress, only certain pha- ses couid be presented at this time. In his summary, Mr. Hood said: The congulating strength of the various brands of rennet, when test- ed fresh, were found to be practically the same. As much variation was found in different samples of rennet from the same manufacturer as there was be- tween the samples of different mak- ors. Rennets that were comparatively free from sediment and low in bacte- ria did not depréciate in coagulating strength during storage as readily as rennets with a high initial bacterial content and heavy sediment. Ageing, of rennet, high storage temperature and the growth of mi- cro-organisms were found to accele- rate the loss of strength. Light and oxidation were as well contributary factors. Reénnets were found to contain undesirable types of bacteria and yeasts in large numbers. A wide va- riation in numbers were found in the same's brand and in different manufacturers' brands. Other investigators have found a definite relationship between rennet microorganisms and certain off fla- vours in cheese. Owing to the incom- pleteness of the investigations, this point has not yet' been thoroughly proven. Rennets should be purchased culy! in the original marked containey from dependable manufacturers or agents, as this is the only guarantee of strength and quality. Cheese makers should not pur- chase rennet supplies in too large quantities, as they depreciate in storage as much as 1 to 3 per cent depending on the brand. ..All stock rennet and that in daily use should be stored in as cool a place as possible; (below 60 F.) Avoid carrying rennets over the win- ter. POSITION OF DAIRYING. Address Given by the Dominion Commissioner, Dairy ner. At the Thursday afternoon ses- sion, Dr. J. A.

The total production in 1924 was 150,272 884 pounds. It now looks as though the figures for 1925 would be: around 175.000,000 pounds, the highest since 1917. 'This estimated | increase of 25,000,000 pounds for | the year sgrees closely with the, grading returns which show that} 310,762 more boxes were graded than in 1924. "When we turn to butter, the | showing in production is not quite | 80 good, nnt because of any general setback or decline in that branch of the industry, but simply because the premium on cheese milk in Ontario and Quebec resulted inksome trans- fer of patronage to the cheese fac- tories. J "But that is not all. There are other aspects of the export trade which, in my judgment, are more important than figures, especially to the individual dairyman. I refer to the improved standing of Canadian' butter and cheese in the markets of the United Kingdom, Importers are making fewer comp'aints and show- ing increased confidence in Can- adian dairy produce. That means more to the future of the trade than Progress in Quality. "Production is 'important, but quality is more important. It Is especially important when produc- tion 1s increasing. The market must be interested and sympathetic to take the increasing quantities at full prices. "I am informed that some merchants in Montreal have advised factories to send their. green cheese along, promising to take care of them until they are graded. But they are not taken care of as they should be. The temperatures in the ware- houses are often unsuitable for green cheese and the cheese never receive the atténtion that all new cheese should have to turn out properly. It has been said, with much truth, that cheese are only | half made when taken from the press. The cheesemaker who ships cheese a day or two old leaves his job only about half done and cannot tell whether he is making high or low grade cheese. No cheesemaker who is required by the factory man- agement to do this sort of thing should be held responsible for de- fects in his cheese under these cir- cumstances. We can take only one; step at a time and, for that reason, 1 wish to emphasize as strongly as possib'e the need for some concert- ed effort looking towards a better- ment in the control of temperature in the curing room 'at many factor- {es. "It will he some satisfaction to know that there Is a possibility, if| present tendencis prevail, that Canada may regain her old position as the largest exporter of cheese. For 12 months ended October, 1925, our cheese exports were 23 per cent. larger than they were in the preced- ing 12 months, while the exports of sheese from New Zealand their year which ended July, 1925, show a de- crease of 5.2 per cent. "The important thing in competi- tion, however, is the matter of com- parative quality and. while it is not $0 easy to make definite statements on that point, we have these facts to go on, that the premium for Can- adian 'cheese over that of New Zea- Jand has been larger during the past year that it has been for some years and the premium on New Zealand butter over Canadian was reduced in 1925 as against 1924 by over 4 shiil- ings per cwt. or about 25 per cent. There is probably no product of the farm that returns to the producer a larger percentage of the selling price than Canadian cheese dbes. in Grading. "Looklgg back' over the three years during which we have had of- ficial grading and, remembering the violent opposition from some factory operators and the export trade when the scheme was first proposed, we have reason to feel we have made considerable progress. When the grading was started, we were, in a manner, sailing an uncharted sea. you to spend as much as fifteen guide us, but we are gradually evolving a system and building up a staff along lines which experience has proved to be satisfactory."
