The Sentinel Review, of Woodstock,
an organ well posted on dairy mat-

unless the representative of Canadian
dairymen, with whom has beau left
the question of how Canadn shall bo
represented et the Colonial, take more
vigorous measures they will not do
much to promote the interests of our
cheese industry. At the Toronto
meeting, to which we alluded lest
week, Awes resolved to have a supply
of cheese at the Canediau exhi11itiou
restauvent. In addition to this, there
was some allusion to occasional ex-
hibits. But how frequent cur how
large these are to be is not yet mads
known. The attractions of a Canad-
ian restaurant, is contrast to that
English and French ones of London,
Eta e not snob a6 to make the tree of
Oanadian cheese at it a very great
advertisement. In the interests of
our cheese it is to be hoped that no
Canadian cooks will be there to drive
visitors away from the restaurant.
Their manipulation of beefsteak, for
instance, would more then offset the
good impression made by the finest
products of our dairies. We are not
able to say how many cheese factories
there are in the Dominiou—probably
between three or four huudrod. There
seams to be no reason why each of.
Meso factories should not send ten or
twenty cheeses per month to Loudon.
The cliicultles of making etch an ex•
bibtt are certatuly not iosapetable.
There need he no loss to factories;
the governmene would pay the freight,
and the cheese would ee11 readily after
being exhibited. If tide were done
such an impressiorf of the greatness
of our dairy interests would be given
