The chief use of such an exhibition as the great international dairy fair, held at New York, last week, is to teach our farmers how they must suit their products to the taste of the countries to which they are beginning to be largely transported. English customers, for instance, prefer cheese of solder texture than those usually manufactured here. Amer ican dairymen should learn the English modes of cheese making, in order to hut the English taste. Other foreign countries have different tastes still. and our dairymen must be able to initiate all methods in order to suit all tastes. There can be no reasonable doubt that, with intelligent effort, the sale of American dairy products in Europe can be very largely in creased.
