Wheat and Rutter.

The dairy industry is OF such nature
that few people can realize its magnitude
until their attention is especially called
to it, says the Breeders Gazette. Let u
compare wheat-growing with butter
making. In enumerating the provisions
of family barrel of flour per annum
tor each individual is fair allowance.
About five bushels of wheat are required
Tor barrel of -four, worth little over
81 at present prices, or say 50 for barrel
of -four. The butter allowance for
family is about one pound per individual
member Tor each week, or say MY
pounds per year. At 20 cents per pound
this is $40, or at % cents, about the az
craze price for good butter, it is Sl25o
Taking the smaller of these two SUMS
We have the cost of the butter consumed
by our people as fully twice the cost OIL
wheat. But in addition to butter there
is the cheese, and especially the milk,
the value of the latter amounting to an
enormous sum in the aggregate. WIN,
out the figures it is doubtful If it would
be conceded that dairy products cost the
people of our country two or three Times
as much as the wheat they consume.
1t is probable that no improvement.
in the manufacture of four will mater.
ally increase its use. Enormous as
the consumption of dairy products, Ins
limit is by no means yet reached. lhe
general adoption of the creamery system
through the West is substituting a gov
product for a poor one, and an eyer-wiu.
ening circle of consumers are learning
the taste OF good butter.
