many, Great Britain and some
other countries, our product continues
to enjoy great popularity, ana expor-
tations find a ready market, despite the
fiscal increments to what otherwise
might be the selling price. Butter,
lards and other preparations OF animal
fats, so essential to the diet in our own
and other Northern countries, have
long been skillfully blended and pre-
pared in Finland The art OF butter
making and of oil and blubber conser-
walton has reached here an unusually
high eficiency-both taste and quality
being superior to like products OF other
countries. This may be due in part to
the characteristics Of our dairy cattle,
or to the natural ingredients of their
food. It is undoubtedly true that they
are a harder and more intelligent stock,
recurring less care, and producing OF
their own Volition both more and richer
milk. That there is not so great an
eXportation of Finnish cheese is fortu-
nate for the native population, as 1t is
so eagerly sought after that any deple-
ton of it locally to supply a foreign
market would work genuine hardship
upon our own people.
