The following extract from the London
(Eng.l Pal Mall Gazette shows something
Of the rapidity with which the dairying in.
terest is advancing over the border -
Canada is fast becoming dangerous rival
of the United States in the matter of but
ter and cheese Upon the termination Of
the Reciprocity Treaty just after the close
OF the rebellion, the Dominion in one year
purchased of the United States cheese to
the value of S3O6,00O to supply the wants
Of her own people. Now she has 100000
900 lbs to spare. This large dairy interest
has been the growth Of about seven years,
aud has sprung from very small germ. Ia
all her territory, Canada is estimated by
those best informed to contain between 400
and 500 factories, mostly OF moderate size,
more than half Of them confined to the
Province of Ontario. They are not gener-
ally diffused, but are grouped about two
centres-Bellevile in the eastern aud In
gersoll in the western part Of the Province.
The greater number are contiguous to lnger.
soil Two rival associations have sprung up
at these centers The one at 1ngersoll is
known ~ the Canadian DAirymens AssOcia-
ton; that at Beleville az the Ontario As
sociatiOn. They are now acting in unison,
and are jointly receiving Government aid
to the amount of 500 annually, which is
expended ID circulating information to ed
ucate dairy farmers and manufacturers in
their calling and the general welfare of the
dairy interests Of the Province. At the
| - Al
held at Beleville on the 18th ult., Prof
Bell, Of the Albert University, in his open
ing address, traced the history Of the rise and
progress Of the dairy interest in the Domin-
ion, aud pointed out the very large field that
lies open, inviting an almost indefinite ex-
pansion for its future operations. Its nd
vautages consist not only in the vast extent
of cheap soil aud favorable climate which
the country offers for extended operations
but in the certainty Of u good and trust
worthy market which the mother country
affords. The dairy lands Of Canada are
cheaper than those OF the States, aud the
new territory steadily opening at merely
nominal prices is better for the fairy than
the cheap lands OF the States Canada
therefore has the same means Of soon sup
planting the United States in the British
market in the traffic OF cheese, as she al
ready leads them in the export Of butter
About forty factories are in active operAtiot
in the neighbOrhOOd of BeleVille, and new
ones are being rapidly built From the fac
tories about 58,7l4 boxes OF the make o.

If our dairymen need spur, an
eye-opener, lesson which speaks volumes
in three words, here is one at the head of
this article Butter is actually brought
from France and sold by the New York
dealers. And this is thus because there is
an actual scarcity in the market Of good
butter put up in attractive shape for small
consumers. When We know that one dairy
man gets Sl.l5 pound for his product,
another 81, and another 70 cents the year
round, Al his dairy door, il is easily seen
that it will pay to bring butter across the
ocean from France, if il is only good and
shapely enough to suit the fastidious pur-
ohasers who will have something nice what
ever it may cost. All this butter is made
from choice COWS, chOicely fed on cleau
sweet food the milking is done in the
cleanest manner. The milk is handled as
carefully as though it was nectar the cream
il churned with utmost care by clock aud
thermometer, the butter is worked with skill,
aud is made up in shapely cakes, which do
not require to be cut when brought to the
table. Compare, then, this cake-hard,
golden yellow, sweet, fragrant and tempting
to all the senses--with an unsightly chunk,
which is cut out Of greasy keg, and smells
OF Ole. age and rancidity, aud is made from
ill.kept cream from cows filthily lodged and
carlSssly MIXED, and is churned anyhow,
aud the difference is amply accounted for

Making a Business of it

notice 10 my last Rardi that Mr.. Geo.
X. Drew, Of North Danyille, says farming
can be made more pleasant by making a
business of it, which, to my mind, is about
as wise a saying as have heard for some
time There is far too much Of this farm.
ing because of I-dont- KNOWN DIDO
kind of feeling prevalent throughout our
agricultural community, and this is one Of
the principal reasons why it is considered
drudgery, and in truth is drudgery of the
worst kind When a man takes hold Of
any business with determination Of learu-
ing il thoroughly aud of succeeding, he for
gets, in great part, the labor attending the
same. and he is like a boy who will travel
ten miles over rocks, through brooks, brush
and mud a-fshing, and come home at
night not the least bit tired, while he is
sure to have the back ache, side ache and a
stone bruise on one or both feet, If he had
to 20 two miles for the cows over a good,
smooth road. Now, men are only boys,
somewhat grown in body and mind aud
physical labor wears very slowly on the body
il the mental faculties are only in sympathy
with the physical which are brought into
use.-Cor. Rural Neto Yorker

As to the extension Of the manufacture Of
cheese in the Western states since 1870, we
give the following figures, as obtained from
local boards of trade aud estimates of good
authorities IN the absence Of these reports,
NJ no statistic, have been brought down to
the present Time la Northern Illinois the
increase has been from 10 TO 300 10 op.

TO 200 on the opening Of the season, with 20
more in process Of construction. Indiana
had 2, and is now estimated at 80 factories
Michigan has not increased so rapidly, ow-
ing to the fact that more attention has been
given to butter manufacture. In 1870 she
had % factories, aud is now estimated at
about So factories. Iowa has given more
attention to this interest than before. In
1870 she had factories only, but is now
variously estimated at % to 30 factories.
Minnesota had only a, aud is not estimated,
but doubtless has increased as much as Iowa.

1t is stated that in one season no less than
10000 sheep were lost in Colorado for want
of water. No doubt the flock masters be-
lieved in the absurd idea Ihat sheep did not
need water This idea prevailed in New
England and the northern states thirty years
ago, but the folly of il has long been shown
Where the pastures are abundant and the
dews heavy. sheep seldom take water in any
other way; but it is only under such circum-
stances. They require water as we'll us do
pigs, goats, chickens, etc, and the farmer
who neglects his sheep IN this respect, ex-
copt as above stated, will surely pay The
penalty of it.

Winc.making was baptised into the indus
trial enterprises OF California under the
name of an interest beneficial to the cause of
temperance. 1t proved so in a certain sense,
for il produced woful examples enough
to spread alarm over the state. After the
abandonment OF the temperance sham the
wine fanatics declared wine making TO be a
great commercial interest in the future one
likely to oVertop all others, Now, one of
the leading advocates Of all the steps taken
10 the past by the wine-makiug fraternity
asserts his belief that the cultivation Of the
vine for the production Of wine aud brandy
can only result in wide spread financial ruin
TO those engaged in it. And this opinion is
echoed from all parts Of the state. We think
the wine fasco is about exploded, but we
trust the vines will multiply twenty fold,
aud their produot be made use Of to bless, not
curse, mankind A market exists for all
the raisins of good quality we can produce,
and there seems to be prospect OF their be-
ing doubly or trebly more profitable than
wine, without taking into account the evils
produced by the latter california paper.

Don't 20 in Debt.

One of the most cherished principles OF
the order of Patrons of Husbandry, is to do
cash business, and we feel very sure every
business maH in tho country will approve
this course. The practice Of buying on
credit is very deceptive and always danger
Gus. Not only that--you lose your indie
pendence. If you know the price is high,
you think, "well, the party is creditng me
and can't ask him to take less - you feel
dependent upon him and soon large bill is
run up. Crops are not as good as expected
or prices are lower, and severe struggle,
or probably sacrifice, has to be made to
meet the debt. Again, the prompt paying
customer has to pay for all the slow and bad
debts made in the country, for there is gen.
orally about a certain average per cent. Of
these, and the merchants, manufacturers, or
whoever you may buy OF, anticipate this
and make allowance, charging increased per
cent. to cover the losses. The prompt pay
Jog customer foots the bill on the credit sys-
TEN. But all farmers have not got the
money, and some very little to sell to bring
the money to raise another crop to such
We would say If you have to use $500, OF
81 100 IN this years business, you will save
money if you can borrow that amount, al
any fair rate of interest, and use it TO pay
cash for everything you buy. The man who
pays cash is always met with hearty greet
ing, and gets his purchases at very low
| profit
