The requisites of good milk have: been so frequently and fully discuss- ed, that we need not. more than. 'briefly atlYert to them now. The importance of good milk, for either • cheese or • butLer, will be conceded, 1 and therefore the question need not argued. The first requisite,s of good milk are good- Cow& But these will dis- 'appoint their owners if they have not good keep. Plenty of good clean bay •and pure water, with warm quarters, are indispensable. The old-fashione& method of allowing cows, or other cattle, to weather all kinds of storme, -with a snow-benk far a bed at night,';4e believe is pretty effectually done away with. It has been found' that it does not. , pay.. It is not yet qpite so-ainiver- sally admitted that generous feeding 1.1 equally' advantageous, nor that a warm stable is as much Ian advance on an open;- cold one; wheie the e cows stand and shier i throughout the twenty-four hours, as a common shelter is an improvement . on no shelter. Yet, a warm stable, which may behadfor a. sr4all expense, is -decided economy, in the saving of food, ae well as a - comfort to the cows, and generous feeding will ,be found a -profitable investment, both - by the increased flow, of milk and by its increased richness. A poorly` kept cow will give less milk than a -well-kept one, and its poorer quality will be more manifest than the % diminution in quanity. _When turn- ed out to grass, if the feed shotild prove good, it will take the cow -weeks ,eto build up her system and get,in the condition she should have oeen in at the start ; and though the quantity and quality of her milk = will improve, she •will reach the time when the mess naturally begins to Shiink before she will have thor- oughly recuperated. After this the •- richness of the •milk will probably be Satisfactory, But in•case the sea - on s-hould open dry and cold, so -tbat the grass starts slowly, and is then followed by the hot dry- weather of July and August, as is not un - frequently the case, a cow that starts • "spring poor" will scarcely get in condition before the grass is nipped - by the fall frosts and it becalms ne- - eessary to begin to fodder. There is a marked difference in the quality_ot the messes of :milk de livered at a cheese -factory. The use - of the lactometor and cream-guages • will.show this. It will be an inter- esting experiment, for cheesemakers who never tried it, to test in this way the quality of the Milk deliver- ed by the different patrons, and then • ascertain the • style in which each keeps hiscows, the character of the pasture; of each, the kind of water which the pastures afford—whether brook, river, swamp or spring— and - to note any other • facts and condi-, • tions which may be apparent or may suggest themselves. It will be found, we think, th.at bad wintering and poor pastures have as much or: more to do than anything else with the production of poor jnailk. No • breed of cows nor selection of a -dairy can wholly counteract those =•evils. The yield of milk will un- • doubtedly be greater and better with some cows than with othees ; and so • with naturally good cows, good win- tering and pasturing will show gate • as marked improvements. • We .have in our mind an instance where, at the opening of a cheese - factory, only a .few of the farmers, having the largest dairies, delivered imilk. They were all men whO fed their cows well during the winter,' and gave them meal before and after taming in. The result was an as- tonishing large yield of cheese from milk at that season_ of the year. But as the • messes ;increased, and Milk front the dairies poorly -kept eame in, the yield of :cheese in pro- • portion to the number of pounds of • milk steadily diminieh.ed. The lac- • tometer and cream-guages showed that the poorest miliceatne from the - poorest -kept cows: • ." The forepart of the season proved- • a cold and wet one, which made +he' grass more juicy and less nutricious, This, with the accidental or inten- tional watering which the milk got from the rain falling in the cans, either at home ,or on the road, was. also believed to decrease the yield of cheese. It appeared that milk corn- ing equal distances through the 'rain, • other things being equal, showed more water than that brought short distances. Manifestly, some sort of shelter to the cans should be devised, to be used both at home and on. the road, during rainy weather --and the ; same for keeping off the rap of the sun, itt fair weather, is equally dt- sirable. All through the season, itt the in- stance referrecte to, there was a marked diffetias.' sle..ein the quality of the milk a:,00.':!,well-k-ept and of the poor1y4esipi.4iasies. Swampy pas- tures also 'Seem, to impoverish the milk. Thos e pastures that were dry, • with pure water accessible, -appeared to produce the richest milk. While lite milk of the best dairies, cn be-' ing tested, would indicate a yield of a mend 4t chees pou el of milk, i- wot id not yield a less:than leven of milk.

IN ENGLAND.— Among the imports into, England from France last year, butter -figures to the va ue of £2,730,000. The French p asantry will not be likely to manufacture their beautiful but- ter in such quantities as to enable them te export nearly the same amount this year. The men are re- moved frclm the fields—the opposing armies will consume the products of the dairies. French butter com- mands a high price, in London mar- kets, simply because it is not heavi- ly salted, and is packed in snow- white, neatly shaped firkins of five, ten or twenty e pounds each. It would be well that the Irish farmers now imitate the French mode of making up their butter, and recover the comm nd of the English market. Such a p n of sending butter to market Canada would also work well.—..T sh .Farmers' Gazette. Bachelors ! Auction Rooms, Steet, -Seaforth.
