The establishment Of crcamcries In this county
will naturally increase interest In the general dairy
products Of the country, and few statistics Of the
export trade may 60 relieve the fears Of some
that the establishment Of few more creameries
may overstock the market. The export Of dairy
products from New York for the ten months from
May !, 1850, to March 81, 1881, were a. follows
Butter, 2s,oss,223 pounds. Cheese, I32, Iss, 7Ii
pounds. During the Same period no less than
lo,4is.ss2 pounds Of OleOmargarine was exported.
From an address made by President Mouiton, Of
the International Dairy Association, We learn some
facts concerning the growth and magnitude Of the
dairy business Of the United States. Thirty years
ago dairying had not begun to be u special indus.

York and Ohio were the only recognized dairy
States, and Canada imported her cheese. Within
ten years. dairy writer limited the territory suit

taking In two counties in Pennsy Ivania the north

New York produced In 1873 agricultural products

Mr.. Moulton declares that the manufacture of
oleomargarine and other fraudulent substitutes
for butter has largely injured the trade in honest
dairy productions. On this point he state. that
our exports Of butter in 1878 were %, 600 900
pounds, and in isSO were 2s,O0O.oOO pound. an

The success Of butter aud cheese manufacture
