Tho nlncinor np hn
ry has witnessed marvellous strides in
the improvement of methods in the dai-
ry world. Formerly the whole business
was conducted largely by rule of
thumb" Instead of q vocation requir-
ing a certain apprenticeship 1t is fast
becoming an exact science, in which
chemistry and bacteriology play no in
significant part. The increasing inter-
est and attendance at the various dairy
schools throughout the United States
and Canada, the existence Of great CO.
operative and commercial organiza-
tons for the manufacture and sale Of
dairy products, is an undisputable tes-
timony to the achievements of modern
science. In this great industry the
government has appropriated vast
sums of money to help the dairyman in
his work, and this is indicative Of its
Importance as a factor Of the great
food problem Of the world.
The territorial lines of the dairy belt
have long since been annihilated. A
few states and provinces in the east no
longer enjoy the exclusive distinction
Of being In the dairy sections. In the
Dairy building at the Exposition space
has already been asked for by Maine
and California, Manitoba and Texas.
The supposed Disadvantages of soil, wa
ter, climate and food in portions of
North America have largely been elm
mated by the skillful dairyman, and to-
day splendid representatives Of dairy
animals are found wherever the whole
someness and nutritive value Of milk
products are known.
Few people have any adequate con-
ception of the present magnitude Of the
dairy industry. In the United States
and Canada there Is one dairy COW to
every four persons, or 20,000,000 cows.
