Mr.. o. 3. BLlas,
6scrctasyos tho Vermont DAlFyu,en's Association,
opened he dlscussIon Of the topic, ''TLe Dairy
Interest: Its Importance and Future" IIo said
tho Importance Of tho dairy interest had bscn pretty
we'll 1lfcussed Wednesday, and ho would thescfore
conGue h1msef to tho future Of this great interest,"
In hls opinion, the only Auro way 10 advance this
!ntcscIt was By tho elevation Of tho producing
dalrynsn In tho knowledge Of bis bus!ncss. To
that md conventions like the present wero ralua-
bte Tho prevailing trouble among dAIsymcn was
theIt great want OF economy In tle iHcans en-
plo,cd In tho manufacture Of butter. Mr. DtIas
real from tho National Liut-stoek Journal an ex.
tra:t In reference Ia. m ideal COW at Vine
lard, Nd, which had produced remarkably
lage quantity Of butter; Aso an extract In refer
eoco 10 some cows which wero not ideal, but, on
the contrary, rather ordinary animals. From tho
eenEus of 1870, 1t appeared that tho number OF
cows in TIC United Htatea WAS D. O35, 332; tho nun.
bor Of pounds Of butter produced, 6f4. 002, 883;
of chcc, 60, 4,o. 153; and Of milk, 23h, 800, 600
gallons. The annual aYcrage yield Of butter per
COW WAS something ovor seventy pounds. Since
then thb avesnge had Increased, The average yield
por eowtn New York bolng 120 pounds; In rcr-
mont .lB pounds; and IN Massachusetts, 117
pounds. In order TO mako any permanent i'm.
provcmnts In tho dairy lnterest, dairy.
ncu must begin at tho bottom. and edu-
cato tic farmers. In Mr. Bliss opinion,
there WOO openings in tho creamery system and
the co.o,erstivo system that did not tend 10 the
elevation Of tho dairy interest, and ho was not
sute bat that there was some dangos from over.
In ansYer to question from Mr. c. F. Dexter,
Mr. Bills ahId that theirs was comparatively littto
paid 10 he manufacture OF cheese.
