cheese exports have been raised from
68. 500. 900 pounds to double that
amount. In butter-making, too, there
has been a proportfonately large in

to LAT. 900 pounds. and two years later
it had increased to 1861, ZOO pounds.
The product both Of cheese and butter
sent to Europe has enormously in

was $40, 131 in 1890. The next year it
rose to $500, ITS. and in 1892 it was

filed cheese and adulterated goods in
any form, and instead of hunting up
frauds and prosecuting them the COM
mission devotes Its energies to assisting
the dairymen and promoting the in
dustry. Canada enjoys the proud dis
tinction of being tho only government
ated dairy products and that makes no
skinned cheese-an full cream
Under these circumstances the in
structions Issued by the Ontario col
lego to Canadian dairymen possess
great interest to those Americans who
would improve their own product With
a view to rivaing the Canadian In the
home and foreign markets. These in
structions read as follows:
The maximum Of profit can be ob-
tanned only by the clear-thinking, In
telll9ent dairy man, who breeds and
feeds to produce the greatest amount
of milk of good quality at the least
possible cost.
The faithful and constant observance
of the following points will result in
marked improvement In the condition
of the milk supplied to the cheese FAC
tories, an Improvement which is much
needed, and the bringing about of
which will enable the cheesema<er to
produce an article much superior to
anything that has been made in the
past. and by so doing we can maintain
our supremacy in the English market,
realize q better price for our goods and
add very materially to the profits of
the dairyman.
Nothing but pure milk from healthy
cows should be sent to the factory. To
secure this cows should have abundance
of wholesome, nutritious food and pure
water, with access to salt ut all tirnes-
The greatest possible care should be
taken to prevent cows drinking stag
nant water. Milk from such cows is
Invariably tainted, and no amount of
skill on the part of the cheesemalker
can produce from it q really fine
cheese
Immediately after the milk is drawn
it should be strained, then aerated by
dipping or pouring. which can be done
very effectively while the milk is yet
in tho pals. Be sure that this work is
done in a pure atmosphere, with clean
surrou niings, away from the stables or
unless this be attended to properly,
aeration will be q detriment instead of
a benefit.
1t is not necessary to cool milk At
night, unless the weather be extremely
hot, in order to have it in the best con-
dition for delivering at the factory in
the morning, providing all pals, saten-
sils, strainers, ETC., have been thor
oughly washed, then scalded with boil
ing hot water and we'll aired before
using.
1t is just as important that the morn
ing's milk should be we'll aired before
sending it to the factory. Not only In
the summer should milk be aerated, but
also in the spring and autumn.
The milk stands should be built in
such a way as to exclude the sun and
rain, and yet allow a free circulation of
air around the cans.
The organisms that produce bitter or
tainted milk, or any abnormal change,
are to be found only where there was
filth and carelessness in handling, SO
that in all cases when complaint 10
made of impure milk the remedy must
be extra cleanliness.-N.Y Y. World.
