Dairy Farming.

We have long held the opinion, and
have frequently expressed il, that ol all
the branches into when the agriculture
Of these islands is divided, dairy farm.
ing is destined in the future 10 lie, 10 II
has lately proved itself, one of the
most profitable and encouraging. In
saying this we do not forget that
both cheese and butter, in common
with every other agricultural project,
nave been for u time almost n drug in
the market, and we remember that the
milk trade has not, SO lar ~ the pro.
duccrs are concerned, been in highly
satisfactory condition. Yet At tho
same time we call attention To these
important facts; that cheese has been
the first thing TO recover from the wide.
spread and long continued depression;
and nj the present moment there is Il
brisker demand, and better prices Of
fered for milk to be supplied through
the coming winter, by contract, than
was the case this time last year. These
are the saliest features Of dairy Of farm
ing just now. Butter has also advanced
as cheese has, some 20 or 80 per cent.
during the past three or four weeks,
and is still improving; and these things
put together have caused a stir in the
dairy world, which il most cheering IN
these gloomiest OF days.
The improvement in the cheese
trade is, Of course in measure due To
diminished production Of this country,
and to tho improvement III the price
Of American cheese, which has been
brought about by the rapid revival Of
iade on the other side Of the Atlantic;
but Notwithstanding this, cheese and
milk have shown degree Of elasticity
we look for in vain in anything else.
In their turn they are influencing the
price Of butter, and they lave kept up
the demand for and the price OF in calf
cows, particularly Of autumn calyers,
III Way that has made this the most
profitable branch Of agriculture on
which We can lay our fingers AT the
present time or in the present year.
The improvement in the price Of
cheese can not be ascribed 10 any i'm.
proyement in quality,for il il well known
that cheese, like almost every.
thing else, either animal or vegetable
that the farm produces, is deficient in
quality this year, as compared with
other years. There has been an I'm.
usually mall supply Of sunshine this
year, 30 that the properties in grasses
which 20 10 form quality ID the milk,
and cheese and butter, ana in beef and
mutton alike, have been insufliciently
developed, and the cheese and butter
are moi what they would otherwise have
been. This, Of course, was 70 be pre-.
djcted when we saw the nature Of the
summer we had 10 deal with; and
taking this into consideration, il is all
the more gratifying 70 find the rapid
and marked Improvement of which
