Thomas sent back word to town that he would be found at the Walker House it wanted, but of course he never reached there. The conductor on the C.P.R. train for Toronto was requested to keep his eye on Thomas but that individual left the train at Agincourt, and eluded the authorities who were on the look out for him.

MR, LEWIS PRESIDED Ald. Lewis, of towa, occupied the chair, and in opening, said that he was glad to have the honor of being Chairman for the afternoon. He was sorry 'to see that there were so few few farmers present. He stated that he wished to speak a few words a1- ong the Line of producing a better class and quality of butter, in con- nection with which there are a num- ber of drawbacks, and one way to succeed is to get the friendship of the farmer, and for the manufacturer and the farmer to get in closer touch with one another, and not try and "do” them, and as the expression com- monly used says : “Go past the in- spector's nose." and the object of the farmer should be to get his‘or her produCe as near perfection as possible This has been agreat drawback to the manufacture of butter. On leaving the separator, the cream should be cooled. Istrongly recom- mend that the cream should be de- li‘vered to the creamery more than once a week and not less than twice. Cream should be 30 per cent cream.

This only partially shows the loss sustained by the pro- duce Where over ripe milk is deliver- ed. While afew ofour cheese makers are not as efl'ieient and skilful in their work as they might be, they are exceptions, and I am convinced] that with the skill which the aver‘ age maker now possesses if we could only get all the milk delivered to our factories in condition equal to the best, the loss in the whey would be minimized, and all need of whey but- ‘ ter manufacture be removed. An' attempt at pasteurizing whey was made at several factories, but this work was rather incomplete ow- ing to so much whey being allowed toi: accumulate in the tanks This is a, seriOUS mistakel that I hope to see remedied. To make pasturizing eflec- tive and profitable, the whey gtanks should be emptied each day and I hope the factory men will do their 3best to accomplish this next season, [and not allow so much food material ‘ lto go to waste and create a nuisance at the factory as well. 1 Generally speaking, I would consid-; er this season’ 3 work as fairly satis-‘ factory.

We had a farely good flow of milk throughout the season as com- pared with former years, but the supply of milk in this section should be greatly increased, as we are expec- ted to make dairying profitable.
