AMONG TEM Barrisn DAIRY FARMERS.
A, sort of working holiday is what
'-'the British dairy farmer gives himself
when he attends his annual association
'meetings. He wisely combines pleas.
Sat holiday excursions with excellent
'working conferences. While he works
he travels, while he travels be feasts,
while he feasts he grumbles, and one
leannot easily say which he enjoys
most. But the Englishman does
enjoy himself, even when face to face
wiih problems that are worthy of
wisest heads and bravest hearts The
smart saying that the Englishmai.
takes even his pleasures sadly, may
not be full libel, but he certainly has
a way, sometimes, of takinn a deal of
'solid enjoyment out of good work.
MY FIRST WEEK SPENT IN ENGLAND
was a rare experience in simultaneous
lesson -learning and pleasure -taking,
and it afforded a fine opportunity for
the study of English character, which,
in spite of its strong -marked typo, is
too many-sided Co bennderstood at a
glance or delineated epigrammatically.
There is, of course, great temptation
to elaborate the striating first hit-
Tressions of a country so remarkable
as England, but the limits of space,
and the probable temper of my
readers, demand that I keep within
more prosaic lines. The first point
of interest to Oanadian dairymen,
brought out by the discussions of the
British dairymen, was the probability
that
FUTURE PRICES OF DAIRY GOODS WILL
RULE LOW.
It has been our habit, on -this side of
the water, to assume that the' only
'question of obtaining a foothold in
the British market for otir butter pro -
'duct is the question of quality. We
have been saying all along that all ye
have to do to inake our butter peanc-
tion preAtable is to atilt the qua* of
Our make to the liking of the British
nonsumer. No doubt that this re-
quirement is the first and most imPera-
tive need of our butter industry, but
it does not depreciate its importance
to say that it is not the whole need.
The teachings of our conference sag.
gOted another and important problem,
the existence of which was later con-
-firmed by a careful enquiry into the
state of the English 'market—the
great market ofthe werfd. It was
tram PROBLEM OF ,CILEAP PRODTJCTION;
Professor Lig stated at the con-
ference last MaY that, eXcept in fav-

to be pretty, nearly the bottom kirices
for ,best butter in England in, any
season, but the price may rule at elhout
this figure for months. I take iettat
Prof. Long rderred to the price§ re-

I saw no good butter in the shops at a
lower price than 22 cents, and the

farther eonfirmation. This circular
