Canada a Dairying Country.
In Canada's resources, developed and
undeveloped, the field, the forest, the
fishery, the mine, manufactures and com-
merce, all occupy no mean plaoe. It is,
however, no depreciation of the other
resources to say that both in actual results
and in future promise, the firet named
stands highest in importance. Our ex.
porta are au illustration of this fact. In
1887 our agricultural exports amounted
to more than have the total exports. The
industry which, by virtue of exports,, is
second in importance is that of the forest,
and the exports of the latter were less than
half those of the field. In round millions
of dollars, our total exports, in. 1887, were
as follows
The field. ............. ...$41,000,000
The forest.... 20,000,000
Fisheries „ 7,000,000
Mines 4,000,000
Manufactures 3,000,000
Furs 2,000,000
Miscellaneous 1,000 000
Total $78,000,000
In this classification I have made a de-
parture from that of the trade and naviga.
tion tables. In the "field" (agriculture) I
have included 'animals and their products'
except "furs," which I have classified
separately.
These figures, striking as they are, do
not fully express the relative importance of
agriculture. Among the considerations
which emphasize that expression are the
following :-1. The forest products export-
ed are more nearly in a raw state, like
deals, plunks, eta, and do not represent
the employment afforded Chatfield products
do, the latter including such products as
cattle, cheese, butter, grain, etc. (2.)
Forest preclude belong ouly to the new
phase of the country, and must wane with
its development, while the field is the
present backbone and the future promise
of the country ; and our highest prosperity
in the future will be contingent upon its
best and continuous expansion and im-
provement, which both are possible. •
Now, au analysis of the exports of our
most important and valuable agricultural
resources will show there is one special
branch of the industry which overtop the
other branches, even as agriculture itself
stands higher than our other resources.
We exported in 1887 in round million
dollars :—
Cheese and butter $8,000,000
Horned cattle 6,000,000
Barley 5,000,000
Wheat 4,000,000
Peas 2,000,000
Flour 2.000,000
(Horses 2,000,000
Eggs 2,000,000
Sundries 10,000,000
Total $41,000,000
The dairy exports here stand highest of
all. Indeed, they exceeded 'our combined
exports of uheep, fruit, bacon, hay, oats„
hides, potatoes and wool 1 They were
nearly 20 per cent. of our total exports.
These facts indicate, so far as exports
have any meaning, that the dairy is a
factor in our industrial economy which is
second to no other. It is such a factor in
a sense not indicated by figures, for milk
production rather than being unduly ex-
haustive to the soil is favorable to a system
of cultivation which will help to renew the
fertility of soil already impoverised by
grain cropping. It is the Canadian ex-
perience that the intelligent production of
milk and the skilful manufacture of its
products, brings prosperity to the agricul-
turist.
The manifest advantages of dairying,
and the large plane it has in our industrial
economy, bespeak a condition of things
favorable to the future prosperity and
progress of the country.
Unhappily, a further analysis of oar
dairy exports will greatly modify any self-
congratulations. White in a general splen-
did expausioa and rapid growth of out ex-
ports, our dairy products, as a whole, have
kept pace with the meet important of
our other exports, one of these dairy pro-
ducts has haven steadily falling behind in a
most marked degree. The years 1972 to
1987, which increased our total exports
from 61 to 78 million dollars, or 22 per
cent., increased our cheese and butter ex-
ports from $15,500,000 to 118,000,000,or 48°/,
while our butter exports, instead of show-
ing their share of, increase, have actually
fallen off from throe and a half millions to
one million dollars, or no less than 73 per
cent 1 It, of course, follows that the ex-
ports of cheese must have had an almost
phenomenal expansion, in order to have
given the combined exports so good a show.
ing as they have made. And the actual
increase of our cheese exports kave, in-
deed, beau something th' nag striking,1•iom leas
than two million dollars in 1872, they have
grown to over seven million dollars in
1887, an expansion of about 286 per cent.!
The actual reputation abroad of Cana.
dian cheese, compared with what it was
before the trade began to assume noticeable
propoitions, is a flattering confirmation of
the conclusions which naturally follow
from a study of the above figuree. At oile
time Canadian cheerio was exported under
an American brand, to give it a better
hold upon the English market ; to -day ib
is to be feared that shrewd Americans
know too well that American choose will
sell better ih England if put upon the
market as Canadian. The reputation of
Canadian cheese is now second
to none, and the suooess of the
Dominion in ohoeso praduotsoat has already
awakened conaiderablo enquiry as to our
q y
met ods among our competitors. Botts in
i
Denmark, the present batter country l,ar
excellence, and in Tiolland, the premier
country for milk production and dairy ex.
porta, X ease indications of a disposition to
study the reasons of Canada's suoaess. In.
efdentally I might remark that for four
yours the southwestern counties of Sent -
land have been steadily improving the
quality of their oboeso under the porsonnl
instrnetion of Canadian ahoese-tnakers,
who are ihtrodticiug the Canadian system.
The first season the canny yoob i were con.
tont with the importation of oneinstruotor;
but flow they aro net satisfied with less
than two of ot,r best'rnen,whioin they secure
in the most practical, hastiness -like way, by
liberal remunoratian for what they find to
be exceedingly valuable service.
On the other hand, the actual reputation
'abroad of Canadian butter to -day, compile.
ed to what it was at one time, is of a less
flattering character. Indeed it is a ques.
tionwhioh has fallen of the most, our ex-
ports of "butter (which we have seen has
gone down 78 per cent.), or our reputation
for making it!
So much for the past of our dairy indus-
try. what is its possible and probable
Ware? To myself, iu spite of the discour-
aging aspects of ouo'braneh of our euquiry,
the out -look is hopeful.
First—`,Che country is remarkably well
adapted for dairing. The suocesa of the
cheese industry is abundant proof of adapt-
ation for the production of milk, and of one
at least of the milk products. Our failure
in butter exportation is not necessarily
proof that the country is not adapted for
butter production. The quality of butter
which we export is small in proportion
to what we consume at home. The Can-
adian people are light consumers of cheese,
but heavy consumers of butter. Our but.
ter consumption is to a very considerable
extent of an exacting character and it ab-
sorbs a larger proportion, if not nearly all,
of the very best portion of our whole make.
Local prices for the best of our butter are
usually sufficiently high to force the export-
er to handle quantities of cheaper and
inferior butter. One butter maker within
a mile of my writing has sold no batter for
years at less than 20 cents per pound. Itt
always has "his price," and a few years ago
his price was 25 cents per poana. This
butter has usually beau sold directly to
SOME, of the wary consumers always on
the lookout for good butter at any reason-
able prioe. Doubtless not a single tub of
it ever found its way into the exports, for
the reason that it was -always spoken for,
and usually at figures which forbid lits ex.
port. The person referred to has just sent
one tub to a Montreal family, wilese head
writes that it is "very fine butter." One
tub has gone to Kingston, Ont.; one goes
to Ottawa, and the balance is spoken for
by a Montreal retailer. There is nothing
exceptional in this instance, it in merely
illustrative of a condition of things which
bears upon the question el the grade of our
whole butter production.
Again the faulty condition of butter in a
foreign market 1s not always a proof that
the butter was devoid of quality when first
made. It may not have been packed to
provide for the trying conditions of its sub-
sequent handling. It may have beon un-
fairly tested in its transportation or by
speculative "•holding•"
As a matter of fact, in every province of
the Dominos, and very likely in every
country, more or less butter has bean and
is being made, which would be considered
flue in any market. It is unlikely that in
Ireland itself better butter can be made
than in our own Prince Edward island—
equally green and beautiful. "Gilt-edged"
butter may be made almost anywhere in
maritime Nova Sootia and New Brunswick,
with their rich marshes and gressv slopes,
kissed by Atlantis sea breezes. Quebeo
has its Eastern townships, the very name
of which is synonymous with the best but-
ter of the country. It has, too, its Kam-
ouraska district, which, though it has ship-
ped enough bad butter to spoil tl.Ie best
reputation, dict it in spite of cattle, grosses
and atmosphere,which have produced soma,
and might have produced more, of the flu-
ent milk and batter in the world. Ontario
being more of a wheat growing country,
has had less of the advantage of having
made butter -making in some degree a spec-
ialty. but it is not to bo doubted that in
eyery one of its rich counties excellent but-
ter has been made, though tons of it has
been spoiled by bad mixing and store pack-
ing. .As for our glorious western heritage
—the prairies—there may be some parts of
it hinging the abundance of pure water es.
seutial to the production of the finest but-
ter% but they are probably only a small pro-
portion of the whole, and where there is
water there aro the added advantages of
superb dairy cattle, rich, sweet prairie
grasses, nature's purest air, cool summer
night, and, let it be added, a people of en-
terprise and intelligence, the pick of every-
where. If Canada doos not take first place
as a dairy country, it will not he because
she is not favored by nature wits all the
essential conditions of grasses, water, cli-
mate, &o.
Doubtless there are districts in Canada,
because of natural conditions or circum-
stances, not so well adapted for butter as
for cheese production. This may he true
of some of our wheat growing water -scant
Ontario counties, or some of our rich low
clay lands of our Quebec parishes ; but
these districts will confine themselves more
closely to cheese production, as it profitable
specialty, making butter only on a supple.
montary way, and mainly for consumption
more or less local.
Second.—Tho genius of the people of
Canada is equal to the special needs of am -
easeful dairying. Here I have touched
upon an important factor of success. Nat-
ural advantages, though necessary to mom,
hletoe,t successare almost s less than half
e battle. We are coming more and
more tato days of stiff competition, fn
which enterprise. intelligence and skill
will play the fullest part. Scientific inves-
tigation to discover nature's secrets ; ex-
perimental worn, leaning to perfection of
method ; ingenious inventions, to perfect
necessary appliances ; originality and push
to ontorpriae—all aro necessary to success
in the strong competition already upon us.
In pushing to the front in obeese-making,
Canada has shown herself peopled with a
racepossessed of the necessary qualifica-
tions 800s. The growth 008of the
cheese industry, if carefully studied• will bo

competitors in the race.
The good judgement of the Oanadian
cheese makers is well indicated by their
temper ou the question of the adulteration
of cheese. All the plausible arguments to
greedily resort to the tempting profits of
robbing the milk of its Dream, and substi-
tuting something cheaper, are always met
by a unanimous, even impatient opposition
by our associated cheese -makers. The
wisdom of this disposition becomes more
and more apparent in the ever -improving
reputation of our cheese in Great Britain.
In a recent official"examination of, I thick,
nearly 300 samples of Canadian cheese in
England, not one was found to be adulter-
ated.
In butter production, while there are no
evidences of marked suocess, while there
are rather evidences of failare, the genius
of our people must be equal to the needs
of the situation, even as it was in the case
of cheese production. But the people -
ehould set themselves at once heartily to
the task. What has been done already in
this connection will show that the temper
of the people ie for improyement and pro-
gress, but not enough has been done and
attempted. I do not claim that the tank
is a light one ; 1 claim only that the genius
of the people is equal to the need, if it will
assert itself here as it has done elsewhere.
What adieu mast needs be taken, it is not
within the scope of the present writing to
discuss.
The agencies which are already working
for improvement of dairying in Canada,
are, mainly, the following:—
The Western and Eastern Dairymen's
associations of Outario,and the Dairymen's
association of Quebec, have been more
than all else instrumental in buildiug up
our great cheese industry, and making it
what it is. The Ontario Creameries asso-
ciation, of recent organization, is promising
of ranch help to the butter industry, The
Nova Scotia Dairymen's association is a
live association, and for about five years
has done good pioueer work. There is an
association in Manitoba, of whose practical
work I cannot speak from personal know-
ledge. The Ontario Agrioultaral College
at Guelph has made a good beginning with
its working creamery, but it doubtless has
its best work yet to do. It is now doing
good experimental work, and perhaps bet-
ter lecture work outside among the farm-
ers, and the head of this department has
abilities of the highest order, which fit
him well to do a great work for general
Canadian dairying. The Dominion experi-
mental farm at Ottawa has not yet put it-
self on the record of things accomplished,
but it may be made to do a most important
and much needed service in the line of ex-
periment and education. Canada has an
excellent agricultural press, which has
done, and is doing a grand work educating
its readers. The ordinary newspaper it-
self is keenly alive to its own power to
reaoh and impress the masses in the direc-
tion of improvement. The Dominion and
some of the provincial governments have
made a beginning by circulating dairy lit-
erature specially prepared. As the writer
of some of the pamphlets issued, I am glad
to have substantial evidence that it has
done good work.
In view ot our natural advantages. the
genius of our people, what has already
been attained, and au awakened disposition
throughout the country to make greater
progress, there is surely reason to hope for
the dairy industry in Canada a grand fu-
ture.

It was a great mercy that it did not fall
