canadIan chsese Exports.

The Canadian foreign cheese trade
continues to grow. That country long
.go passed the United States In the
matter OF exports OF cheese. and has
been ever since increasing its lead.
A report from Montreal says that this
year that port was virtually cleared
Of old cheese by April first. whereas.
that does not usually occur TIL the
FIRST of May. The cheese export sea
son OF 1902-O3 is therefore closed.
There had been exported from that
port up TO the first OF April 2,432. 6S2
boxes OF cheese. as compared with
2.235.56l boxes the previous season,
which means an increase OF 197.i2i
boxes for this year. The value OF
cheese exported from Canada In the
last twelve months Is estimated n;
SCI 900 900. The Canadians are plan
ming great things for the future. and
are expecting a great run OF cheese
making this coming season on &C
count OF the fine way in which tho
pastures are starting out. None OF the
meadows are reported 10 have winter
killed and the recent seedlings are com.
ing through the winter In good shape
At the present time a large hay crop
Is looked for. In England the cheese
market Is said 10 be demanding large
supplies, which cannot be filled before
the beginning OF summer. II is beliey.
cd that cheese making in England is
on the decline, which would be q fur.

cheese makers.
