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 -he Sectetairy. It Was an interesting reduction, but dealt with the subject ramp from an Aee-lean thaa a Gana - than standpoint. Discussion follovied. 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 pound of cheese, a d the average pric obtained during last season, It wa generally agreed that e good article o cheese could. not 'be made with less the ten pounds of ratlit te,apoundof ohees From 11 to 111 oents per pound yea the general averege price obtained Harrietsville factory got aaa average o 14 cents, but it :commenced matn cheese in April, and continued in opera tion.until the middle of January; Th. cheeee sold during the last fiee month brought cents, which raised. the gen era average above that of mast fa tories. in the course of the discussio, it was more than hinted that weighing of milk on. its arrival et th factory was not always clone conseien ously, and. this ,accounted for Som cases in which a lati average of milli t the pound of cheese was reported. was also urged thet many patrons r gerded quantity more than quality milk, and fed watery substances their cows, which accounted for - t high average of milk to the pound cheese which obtained at some factorie How far the quality of cheese affec the yield. of a given quantity of mil was keenly debated; but the prep= erance of opinion was pretty decid that a high-class cheese cannot be ma from a stinted qOality of milk.

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 I, decomposition Whenmilkis in. good condition and the rennet acts perfectly there is 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.

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 Ashton's, but had no doubt it and Other brands weee equally good. Mr. Farring- ton was of opinion thattibis to.atter had net been sufficiently experimented on 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; others an, intelligent knowledge of it; others energy and perseverance and so. 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.

They in- sisted that it was often the cause Of an 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 Mr. Ballantyne, M. P. I'.'then. ad- dressed the meeting on " Returniog the Whey in Cane," a practice which he strongly reprobated as certain to leave some taint in, the cans that would im- part itself to milk subsequently pot into to thene. Mr. Ballatitynetalso Broke at some length on "Heating op Milk," and the proper way of cooking the curd and dipping.

All the buyers present testifiied that they had constant complaints from England. of , short weights. In the case of some factories the weights held out, but in many marc cases they fell short on reaching their. destination.
