Canadian Dairymen's Associa-
tion..
The thirteenth annual convention Of
Ontario Dairymen, commenced its ses-
sions at Ingersoll, on Wednesday, the
13th inst.; the President, Benjanain
HopkinO, Esq., of •Dereham, in the
chair. After some routine business, in-
cluding the appointment of committees,
the President delivered a brief address,
in which he sketchedthe history of the
Association, especially adverting to a
recent change made by the Ontario
Legislature, as the result of whieh -there
aro new two Associations, one fer East-
ern Ontario and the ether for Western
-Ontario. This change resulted -from
e difficulty of getttreg, e general at-
ndame either at Ingersoll or Belle -
Ile of the -dairymen resident in the
wo sections of the pro-vince devoted to
his interest. This is the first annual
eeting of ' the Western Association,
nd he hoped and :believed it would
rove a success.
The first thing oh the programme
as a paper by Jg11. Reall, of lat w
ork, on "The Past, Present and
ure of Cheese and Butter." Mr. Reall
as unable to be present, but had for-
arded his paper, which was read by

reduction, but dealt with the subject

he reading of Mr: Reall's pa,per, and
warm somewhat aniscelleneeus in its
haracter. Mr. Feerington considered
hat the future of dairying depended on
eeping the products at a high stand -
rd of excellence. Mr. Weld enquired
vrhat was the best mode of packing but-
er for market. Prof. Arnold, on being
called on to reply, reconaraended white
oak firkins, the butter to be covered.
with brine made of vire salt. All
wooden packages were liable ta impart
a flavor to the butter. The beet way to
obviate this is to efeek the firkin with
strong brine for a 7,veok, putting it in
boiling hot. The bestand toughest of
oak timber should' l)e used for butter
firkins. Hon. Herris Lewis, of New
York, concurred. in Mr. Amold's re-
marks, and strongly urged. the import
once of getting butter to market in good
condition, so that it would. present sal
inviting appearame. . W. F. Clarke, in
response to a call, Made some observe
tions on the prosneete 'of dairying in
Ontario, 'which he considered to b
good.. A comparisen of notes then en
mod among the dairymen present as to
the quantity of mill!c required to make

obtained during last season, It wa

ant to guard a dairy cow from all fever-
ish influences. He was in favor of
adopting the soiling plan, at any rate
so far as to stable cows during the hot
summer day, feeding them green fod-
der, and letting them graze during the
cool night. For summer stabling, the
coolest quarters were stone basements.
He did -not know if they were liable to.
any objection oh the score of dampness.
Prof. Arnold endorsed Mr. Clarke's
Views, and spoke warmly in favor of
stone and concrete as materials for
cattle stables, being cool in summer and
warm in winter. Planting- ehade trees
along brook sides and in the vicinity of
ponds was urged by some speakers, and
reference made to the fondness of cows
for standing in water under the coolihg
shade of trees. A discussion ensued as
to providing shade and shelter for cat-
tle. Some were -in favor of shedding
on the margin. of pastures, others ad-
vocated tree planting. It was unanim-
ously agreed. that cows ought to have
access to shade of some sort Or other,
and a resolution to that effect was adopt- '
ed..
8EOOND DAY. 1 -
At the opening of the Association on
the second day, a paper on "Keeping
Dairy Cows," by C. H. Hort, of Ohio,
was read, in the absence of the author,
by Mr. Farrington. It urged, in brief,
the keeping of first class milking cows,
and the bestowal of great care on them
in keeping,housing, feeding and milking.
They shobuld be kept in quietnesa and
comfort, warmly -housed. in winter, fed
regularly; milked. at set hours in silence,
and with only gentle motions' and kind I
treatment generally. The paper was.
()Specially valuable, as pointing 6Ut bi
facts and figures the comparative profits
of dairying on the too common method,
and on that described and -insisted on.
by Mr. Horn He showed convincingly,
by some instances, that some dairymen
made double the profit that others did,
simply by throwing intelligence and en-
ergy into their business, and managing
it on the principles for which he con-
tended.. Prof. Arnold, of Rochester, fol-
lowed with some "Suggestions on Cheese
Making." These -were given in a simple,
conversational style, though they em-
bodied a full statement of the chemis-
try of the process by Which milk is con-
verted into cheese. At the outset„ -a lu-
cid explanation was given of the nature
and action of rennet, the circumstances
favorable and unfavoreble to tit ; and
Mr. Arnold especially sought to impress
it opon-tho dairymen present, that con-
tact of acid of filly kind is fatal to the
action of rennet. Decomposition.favors
the action of *quiet, but is fatal to the
reduction of first-class cheese. In
cheese -making it is highly important
to avoid alike he presence of acid and

condition,
what is known. as a
"cheeBey flavor." Thiereeults from the
production of a new and distinct oil,
which impart e its richness to the pro-
duct. Beth the wholesomeness endthe
value of the cheese depend on the full
presence of the "nutty flavor." The ac-
tion of rennet makes the two articles
we 411 curds and whey. • The whey is
acid, charged. with various germs of. de-
composition obtained from the presence
of extraneous matter in the rennet, a,nd.
should be separated from the curds in
the quickest possible time. Mr. Arnold
had become satisfied with long experi-
menting that the best method was to
heat the milk to that point at which ten -
net acts best, that is from90to 100 ,
de-
grees,'and then put in the rennet. This
,is better than heating the curds after-
wards. Why should not this be done?
1This method, and then quickly separat-
ing the whey from the curds, would go
far to arrest d.ecomposition, and remove
any taint that may have been contract -
,ed by the milk. It is leaving the curds
too long in.the whey, that, as the boys
would say, gives the curds fits. Many
, evils flow from this practice. In
; answer tothekeeping.qualities of cheese
made on the plan suggested, Mr. Ar-
nold. seid it would keep better.
1 A paper on " DairyBreeds of Cattle,"
; by Wm. F. Clarke, prepared. by request
, of the Executive Committee, in which
' the Ayrshire breedof cattle were strong-
ly recommended. for the dairy. An in-
teresting discussiongrew out of this pa-
per. Hon. Harris Lewis, of New York,
expressed his high appreciation of the
research and good judgment which
were indicated. by the paper, though he,
as a -Shorthorn man, thought the Ayr-
fihires lead. received their full share of
praise, while, perhaps, all their faults
had not been stated. They were small,
they were nervous and. their teats were
not large enough to make a good hand-
ful, but with all their drawbacks, they
were a first-elass breed - of dairy cattle,
and while he preferred the Shorthorns,
the dairymen of Canada and the United
States would effect a great and desirable
improvement if they wo-ald. get ii, dash
of either breed into their herds. One
of the greatest evils and sources of loss
to dairymen was the keeping of poor
oows. Several enquiries were made and.
answers given as to the relative yields

ducts. It wag above all things import- discussed, the most important being
that of "thel best 'kind of salt for factory
use." Mr. Ballantyne, M. P. P., gave a
full account of experiments he had in-
stituted with a view of ascertaining the
comparative merits of Liverpool and
Canadian salt. The results proved most
conclusively that . Liverpool salt is far
preferable to Can; dian. He regretted
er
to be obliged to cc) e to this conclusion,
being anxious to ; ncourage an 'import;
ant home industry. He had no doubt
the Canadian brine was as good as the
Liverpool, but our manufacturers have
not got hold of the right process. The
lime is left in the Canadian salt and op-
erates unfavorably on the cheese. Mr.
Ayer and lir. Gass -well endorsed Mr.
Ballantyne's views very strongly and
tutted the use of ;Liverpool salt, ()sped;
nary Ashton's Factory Filled: Mr. Bal-
lantyne hod used Higgin's brand, and
hed found it geed. He had not tried

ton was of opinion thattibis to.atter had

and suggested that every faetoryman
the coming spring should try both Can-
adian and Liverpool salt, and carefully
note the results, Mr. Casswellcontend-
ed that the question had been billy set-
tled and determined by Mr. Ballantyne
and others. American dairymen had
tried hard to sustain their own salt
works, but had been obliged to go in for
Liverpool salt.
Hon. Harris Lewis, of New York, de-
liverec1 a highly practical address en-
titled, "What lack I yet ?" Its ob-
ject was to point out the defioiencies
of edairymen and get them supplied.
Some lacked love of their business;

on. By request, Mr. Arnold recapitula-
ted the main points of his forenoon ad-
dress, there be lug many present who
did not hear it and were anxious to do
so. The salt qi.ostion came up for fur-

inferior article; being turned out. Mr.
Arnold explained the action of salt on
cheese, and stated that during the re-
cess he had carefully examined a sample
of Canadian salt, and there was no dif-
ficulty in detecting with the tongue the
presence in it i of acid. preperties that
could hot fail to be detrimental either
to cheese or butter. ' He would on no
account use any make of salt rthat at-
racted moisture from the atmosphere.
No salt was fit for dairy purposes that
did not retain; its dryness even in a
damp cellar. He believed all the makes
of Liverpool salt were good. Ashton's
was highly extalled in his country, but
he did not think it better than the
general run of Liverpool Salt. As the
upshot of these discussions, a, resolution
was unanimously passed recommending
factory men to use Liverpool salt in pre-
ference to any other. I

the weights held out, but in many marc
cases they fell short on reaching their.
