FINDING GOOD DAIRYMAIDS.
One speaker at the Conference urged
,that this problem, simple as it may
appear, actually prevented &araners
making, butter at all. Another speak-
er said that he " advertised for a
.nursery governess and had twenty ap
plications, and fur a dairymaid, lead
only one!" What a pity, say we all,
that .the uineteen unsuccessful appli
cants for the nursery do not learn to
handle the churn as well as the milk
,Bottle, and to increase their fitness for
a home, as well as chance for employ-
ment. Punch has touched upon this
,question :—Scene, a farmer's daughter
playing a piano accompaniment for her
brother singing.. Pausing, she says, "do
you know, Jack, mamma says I must
help in the dairy; she helped when she
was .a girl. I told her I would rather
`go out as a governess."
"" As to dairymaids, they seem to be
almost as extinct as the dodo. Those
to be obtained did not sufficiently know
what ought to be their work," so re -
,marked one disgusted farmer at the
,couference. Another insisted that the
sooner they trained up good dairymaids
the sooner they should produce in
England the butter and cheese for
•which they paid the foreigner .215,000-
:000' a year."
A DAIRYMAID PROBLEM IN CANADA 2
Are the farmers' daughters learning
to make butter as their mothers did'
;Or under the changed conditions, does
nob the mother fond it easier to du the
whole work: herself than to initiate the
.daughters into the mysteries of the (old
,fashioned) dairy 2 It certainly is true
in some parts of Canada, that, while
the girls have opportunities which their
mothers never had for acquiring grace-
ful.. and pretty accomplishments, the
mothers generally monopolize both the
knowledge and practice of the dairy

factories were established on large es
totes for the use of tenants, or else
were on co-opeation principles, either
railll,cream or butter could be collected
or delivered there in bulk and treated
and distributed in accordance with the
taste of modern., consumers. Butter
could be graded' at the factory, and
consumers would know what they
bought ; indeed a local industry might
be re-established were the factory sys-
tem extended."
Another speaker, (Mr. Howmanl,
also favored creameries, where the
farmer would send his milk to .be sop-
irated, leaving the cream to be dealt
with, and taking back the skim to be
used at tete farm. He said :
"The great difficulty in competing.
in the butter market is caused by the
butter that is made in farnt houses be-
ing not only small ie quantity, but
variable in quality and color, and I am
convinced that if we combined together
mid formed butter factories we should
be in a much better position to eom•
pete with the foreigners who now cut
us out in our markets."
