Statea, whose attention, has been directed to it; and airtmdant eeidence of this fact exists. Owing to the purity of our brine„ We site able to produce an article of eat which is really purer, stronger and better than other salt produced elsewhere.

Brit, in addition to the origin*1 purity of our brines, recent -improved methods of magot facture directed to that end, haye so far snc:ceeded as to produce an 'extremely pure salt, much purer than the Ashton 111 salt of which your ookeespondeut speaks so approvingly.

Present -A_ Cheese Iclarket-Itutter Ittak. ing and illarketing-Gaderich --'-Mteellton of Ofiteers, The sixth annual meethig of the Ca nadian Dairymen's Association was held at Ingersoll, in the County of Oxford, on Tuesday arid Wedneeday of last week. There was a very large number of dele- gates in attendauce, and the proceedings of the meeting were ham:to-Inoue a.ncle, satisfactory_ From information given by gentlemen in attendance it seems that the dairying interests of Ontario are in a most encouraging condition, and the business is rapidly growing. The Presi- dent, Mr. Thomas Ballantyne, of Downie, deliVered a short introductory address, in which he cengratelattel the Associa- tion on the success whieh had attended! their various effortst.hand the success which had attended e chikoseinterests a Ontario, and referred to other basil- -ness connected with the Association. PROFESSOR 11ELVS- ADDRESS. O. Professor Bell, of Belle -Hie, delivered An address on the ''‘!` chemical composition_ 1 of milk and cheese, floating curds, pastur- age suitable for dairy stock," ktee He opened by saying that the co-epeiative methocl of manufacturing bit:Um- and • ewes& was beneficial, and was very nn - portant ia a. medical -respeet. Milk, he , said, was a biading body, whose irigrerli- ! ents were held together by chemical2farce. He described very :minutely the eleenti- cal composition of mirk, showing filet A , possessed those ingredients which ate very liable to suffer decomposition, un. !. less the utmost care was taken in the 1. manipulations it,went through in being 1 martefaetured. He was ilost emphatic [ ie asserting that the utmeit care and cleaullnesa was an absolute necessity, in [ the manufacture of anything into which milk entered, and it ceulif not be too muchimpressed upon those who, from. igeorance or careleasnes.s, refuse to exer- cise that scrupuloasues-s and cleanliness which he spoke of. Such persons should h:ave no eonneetiOn with manufactories -whatever. After describing the usual appearance and appliances of butter and obeese factories, he dwelt with great force upon the necessity of washing them out, net withwarm water, bat With scalding hot water. Re pointed out the injurious effects of usingimpure water for cattle; arid insistecl riyon the neces- site of previdmg shades in pasture fields to shield_ the animals from the scoreh- ing sue. He also gave directions in choosing grass seeds, in order to provide fat cattle such food as was suitable for them. They required that the pastur- age be long, the construction of their numthe being such that they were treble to take such a hold of the grass as eheep or horses. Thus, he said, sheepand. horses would, thrive- upon pasture that would start,,e a CM.. Of all the articles manufactured from milk cheese was the most natiitious I in factit was more nutritious than any other kind of food. In illustration of this, he told a story of in okl farmer in England., of his own acquaintance, u -ho made a practice of asking lais roan -servants when they new- ly earerecl his emplo-yment, to lift a cer- tain alone he kept upon his preniiseS. As a rule they were -unable to do so. .Again, at the end of Six, or perhaps 12: months, he made them try to lift the stone a(rain, and al -Most inva;riahly they could (fo- so. At the same time the farm- .1- took care to explain to them that this: !great increas'e of strength was due to the. quantity a cheese they had received in, their dietary, He alSo remarked uponz the various causes of impure milk. In achlition to uncleanliness on the part of those engaged, in hanainr,°it, foul atinos- )here and st:iguant pools contributed reatIy to the putrefaction of milk, as all as deadcarrion in the vicinity of - ere they feed. With regard to. the-- bst breeds of cattle, and those especial- , whieh are found most profitable for butter -making, he mentioned the Alder- neyand the Ayrshires, which he thought superior to al/ others. He eongratulated • the Canadian dairymen ort the success . attending their efforts, and as a proof of the great progress.that was being Made, he referred to the. statement of Professor Arnoiclo at the Convention .of tile Ameri- can Dairymen,: to the 'effect that the ooin- mercial interests of the American dairy- men would-be materielly atfeeted bro-the Canadians, who .werft pregresolft ,very rapidly,:ancl marinfietering large quan- tities of cheese for expert. MR. WILLA-RD's AMUCK& • Mr. Willard,- of„NeW York! State, .re- ferred to the power which the State of New York wields on the commercial in- terests of dairymen throughout the world. Certain great changes, however, W 'ere going on in ..it which were slowly but surely_ altering its position in this respect. Immense quantities of butter and cheese were presently being menu; featured: in that State and exported ; but all the lend around. the cities was being quickly absorbed for the growing of hay, and of course proportionally lessening the prodnation of dairy articles. It had been found that thee acres of land were required to support - al cow, while the sarae imeiber of acres under hey, selling at $14, $16, and soma -irises $18 per toe, yields a much larger return incash, without ,the -extra trouble of attending the cows. The demand for hay came principally ! from the 'large American ,cities, where a ready market was always found for it, consequence of the num- ber of horses employed about- the rail- ways and 03, the streets. The milk dis- tricts were thus continually receding from the cities, 'abel there was, therefore, no fear of the .interests of Ontario suf- fering from want of demand for theii staple. Indeed; the p ectis would be increase on they would "on account of t13.e want of supply thus _caused, as well as the increased demand which the growth of 'the Americancities entitled us to expect. He laid great stress upon the character and clemitliness of the food given to cattle, and reMinded his hear- ers that whatever milk the cow gives it the production of this food, and partakes very largely and very directly of its character. It was impossible to expect a large product of good milk unless the foodi supplied. was both, healthy and abundant. - It mattered little, in his opinion, and accord* to his personal experience what the breed of the cow was hs long as she was perfectly healthy and keeeived the proper nett -anent, .the character and quantity i-Af which materi- • ally affected both the quantity and qn4 ity of the milk. . MR. BROWN ON 4 4 _SOILING. " . ..,. ..ii, The Chairman said that the next business on the programme was an address from Hon, _George Brown on " Soiling," but he was scrry to say that gentleman_ had found it impossible to be present. .. BUTTER MAKING. Mr. Webb, in answer to a question,,e*s plained the process of butter dealing* the continent of Europe, more particle. larly as to the manner of selling it. The farmers did not pack the butter them- selves, but sold it to men who madea regular trade of packing.'The principal opposition to the Ciadian butter supply in the British market was from Russia and -Finland. Kiel butter sold in the English market it about 130s. • Nor - many .butter, 140s„ d Canadian at 80s. Mr. Caswell said that in Canada we had the land to produce good butter, and the ladies to make, but it was spoil- ed in handling. He tad sent -Oxford butter t� the old countiy in 1872, and sold it for 112a., but he questioned if it would now bring much more • than the half.Itiws.s not thecountry that was to biome, it was the way in which the buttcr was hnnd.Ied. He did not see any reason why Oxford butter should not be sold at Altos as high as Brockville butter. This it had done in some cases ; he had himself sold it for an 'equal pike with Brockville butter. I He approved of a butter market, and considered that, so long as dry -goods men handled the butter, and the same price was paid for good and bad,. as it present, 'and so long as they did 'not pay cash for it, so long wonld the butter be positively inferior. It seas an actual fact th t -Canadian. but- ter has come to be consideredo a nuis- ance in the British market. An inspec- tor ought to be appo* ; and he un- derstood that the znatter was likely to be arranged soon. The tiacning of Can- adian "'Atter was bad, but the . salting waS!still worse. British raerChalits corn- plamed. that the butter was spoiled, and the flavor completely destroyed bY the 'amount of salt which Canadians put into it. Mr. Morrison said that very many people of his acquainten e sold their milk to cheese factories,- and, found it paid them better than to make butter. Re accounted for the poorl butter in the western portion of the country from the strong Scotch and German element per- vading the inhabitants, not from the want of cleanliness _ on Pthe part of the women. Time Scotch go the credit of being the hardest on th women of any people in the world—tit- Indians except- ed. 'Instead of the rne helping the wo- men in the manufactur; of butter, the women were allbwed to mglo the whole thing, and it was well newn that they, whea they got firer', ar at to heat the milk. . The Chairman reinar ed that Brock- ville butter was looked 'upon as being better, more because ,bu ter -making was there a speciality, and because the man. facture and_ sale were ?carried on upon a business principle, and not through dry goods men. A CHEESE MARKET. The Committee on inarketing cheese reported that regular cheese markets be •estabhshed, in important dairy centres, to be held_ on a certain day of each month, or more frequently if necessary ; that these places be Belleiiille, Stratford and Ingersoll, or such l other places as may be decided. ; and that the Executive Committee give all necessary assistance in establishing such markets. The re- port was agree% to GODERICH SALT. Mr. Farringdon said that Goderich salt, according to his experience, was goodfor curing purposes. He thought the questipu was one worth testing, and he further thought home products ought to be patronized if they were good. Mr. Caswell said lie could make more by importing Liverpool salt than by using Canadian salt, and he pointed_ out Ruiner° us instances in which, cheese manufacturers had shown a most decided - preference for the Liverpool. • , Mr. Rosse had not used any Goderich salt for two years, but he was of Opinion that Liverpool salt was Superior, though perhaps not any cheaper. When he used the Goderich salt 'there wassuch an amount of refuse that unless he had a : large herd of cattle he woulcl find it diffi- cult to dispose of it. Tbe chairman, Mr. Ballantyne, said he believed that the, Goderich salt was geof1,,tiome of the samples whicti he had, seen showin ry sign of purity. CEEB.
