DUTCH COUNTRY LIFE
WEEKLY CHEESE MARKET IS AN
INTERESTING EVENT.
Much Noise and Excitement Accom-.
pany the Tradine-Quaint Customs
and Costumes on Farms and
in Fishing Districts.

One of the recent consular reports
is devoted to the interesting features
of quaint country life in Holland. Next
to cattle raising, 1t says. the dairy fur
nishes the Netherlands most impor
tant agricultural products. especially
fine butter and cheese. 1t Is the Gus
tom for farmers to come once week
on fixed day into the nearest town
with their peculiar shaped wagons
filed with yellow cheese. Dutch cheese
Is dyed red on the outside only fol-
export The buyers generally make
their appearance on the market about
ten o'clock. and each sale is conclud
ed by a special method of handshak
ing. The noise and excitement that
prevail in these markets are not un
like the typical wheat pit Of an Amer
lean produce exchange. Edam, few
miles from Amsterdam, Is possibly the
most important cheese center, and
gives its name to the produce of that
section. In addition to the cheese
made on small scale by individuals
there are many large cheese factories
throughout the Netherlands.
Oh production by the farmers of the
Netherlands in a small way, with
"stampers," can be traced as far back
as the seventeenth century This
primitive method was superseded BY
stones driven by wind power. Many
Of these small oil mills also had q
grain grinding equipment. and a nun
Der of them are still in operation. The
modern oil industry is centered
around Zaandam. The total number
of oil mills in Holland, according to
statistics for the year 1906, is 220. and
these employ over 5000 workmen.
In the fishing districts and on tbs
farms the old-time Dutch customs are
still to be found. The quaint COSTUME
Of the women. with the ancient head
dress and the full skirts, remains the
pride of the Holland huisvrouv (house
wife), and the men, with their wide
baggy trousers, are no less pictur
esque. The milkmaid. with her two
milk cans. polished like silver and
swung from specially built shoulder
yoke, is feature of the street scene
