How far the tmality 'of cheese affects the yield of a; given quantity of milk was keenly debated., but the prepond- erance of opinion was pretty decided that a high-cless cheese cannot be made from a stinted quality of milk Prof. Arnold. astoniehed the meeting by citing a factory whieh had averaged a pound of cheese to lees than nine pounds of milk, but the explanation at leiegth giv- en was that I the COWS supplying the milk were chiefly Jerseys, a breed noted for giving smell quantities of • very rich milk. 1 that of "the 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 provedmost conclusively that Liverpool salt is far preferable to Canadian. He regretted to be obliged to come to this.conclusion, being anxious to encourage an import- ant home industry. He had no doubt tho Canadian brine was as good as the Liverpool, but our manufacturers have not got !hold of the right process.'

For further particulars apply to DAVID MOORE, on the premises, or to Egmondville P. 0. 529-8x The subject of "cooling milk" was also discussed at considerable length, Prof. Arnold opening the discussion. He was in favor of carrying milk to the factory in ventilated ,cans. The pro- cess of ventilation was simple and cheap. A hole fourinches in diameter is cut in the lid of the carrying can, and fine wire cloth soldered over it. The cloth should_ be concave toward the milk, and have a rim around its outer edge. He preferred the thorough aera- tion -given to, milk by swashing it about in the can waile being carried to the factory to any method' of cooling that - he knew of, and for making the best: cheese he would rather heve the milk carried five miles ill a ventilated can thanjust brought across the road. He strongly urged the importance of ,_keep- ing the cow cool, by providing shelter and shade, avoiding all undue excitement, andkeeping her in a state of happy con- tentment. In response to a 'question, Mr. Arnold said. the use of agitators is now generally discontinued in the fac- tories of the United States. Mr. Par- rington strongly advocated some method. of cooling being adopted. Mr. Losee gave an account' of a plan he had de- vised and patented for cooling milk, by setting the pails in a trough of cold wa- ter. Much discussion arose in regard to Mr. Losee's method as to whether it was any novelty or any advantage. Mr. Farrington said he had inspected it, and thought well of it. There was a strong feeling in favor of some method of cooling that would obviate the neces- sity of carrying milk more than once a day. Some amusing remarks were made by Mr. Farrington and Hon. H. Lewis, as to Mr. Arnold's idea of keep- ing the cow pool. W. F. Clarke ex- pressed a strong concurrence with Mr. Arnold, contended that the cow was a machine for making Trill. ka and -that all machinery must be kept in proper working order to secure the best pro- ducts.

Mr. Casswellcontend- ed. that the question had been fully set- tled and determined by Mr. Ballantyne and ethers. American dairymen had tried hard to sustain their ,own salt works, but had been obliged tO go in for Liverppol salt. Hon.' Harris Lewis, of New York, de- livered a highly practical address en- titled, What lack I yetj" Its ob- ject was to point out the deficiencies of dairymen and get. them supplied. Some lacked love of their business; others intelligent knowledge of it; ethers energy and perseverance aed so on. By request, Mr. Arnold recapitula- ted the main points of his forenoon ad. - dress, there being many present who did no so. T ther present were unanimous in cendemna- tion of 'Canadian salt, as havieg an in- jurious effect on the cheese. They in- sisted that it was roften the cases° 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 leo dif- ficulty in detecting with the tongue the presence in it of acid. properties that could not fail to be detrimental either to cheese or butter. He would on no account use any make of salt that at- racted moisture from the atmosphere. No salt was fit for dairy purposes that did not retain its dryness eve n in a' damp cellar. He believed all the makes of Liverpool salt were good. Ashton's- was highly extolled in his country, but' be did not think it any better than the general run of Liverpool salt. As the upshqt of these discussions, a resolution was unanimously passed recommending factory men to use Liverpool salt in pre- ference to any other. Mei Ballantyne, M. P. P.,then ad- dressed the meeting on "Returning the ,Whey in Cans," a practice which he strongly reprobated as certain to leave aomeltaint in the cans that would int - part itself to milk subsequently put into to them. M. Balleatyne also spoke pt of extraneous matter in the rennet, and some length on-" Heating up Milk,' aild should be separated from the curds in the quickest possible time. Mr. Arnold had become aatisfied. with long experi- menting that the best method Was to heat the milk to that point at which ren- net acts best, that is frora 90 to 100 de- grees, and then put in the rennet. This is better than heating th.e curds after- wards. -Why should not this be done? This method, and then quickly separat- ing the whey from the curds, would go far to arrest decomposition, and remove any taint that may have been contract- ed by the milk. It is leaving the curds too lon,g in the whey, that, as the boys eould say, gives the curds fits. Many evils flow from this practice. In answee to the keeping qualities of cheese made on the plan suggested, Mr. Ar- nold said it would keep better. A paper on "DairyBreeds of Cattle," by Wm. F. Clarke, prepared by request of the Executive Committee, in which the Ayrshire breed of cattle were strong- ly recommended for the dairy. An in- terestina discussion grew out of this pa- per. }fon. H-arris Lewis, of New York, expressed his high appreciation of the research and aood judgment which were indicated by the paper, though he, as a Shorthorn man, thought the Ayr - shires had 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-class 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 would get a dash of either breed into their herds. One of the greatest 'evils and sourCes of loss to dairymen was the keeping of poor cows. Several enquiries were made and answers given as to the relative yields of native cows, Ayrshires and Short- horns, and much interest was Manifest- ed in the matter Of improving thobreeds of dairy cattle. Mr, Farriegtonclosed the discussion by seeking to iraprese upon all that however good the breed of cott-s,,the essential pointwas the taking care of them. Having good cows was like having good'seed. Culture was all important. So, care, good feeding and judicial management of cows were es- sential to a large yield of milk. 'Marketing Cheese" was the next topic on the programme. It was intro- duced by A. A. Ayer, of Montreal, a leading buyer of cheese for the English market who gave a variety of practical directions on the subject. Messrs. Bal- lantyne and Caswell followed, second- ing the advices given by Mr. Ayer, and adding some suggestions. fa Several questions of detail connected with factory manipulation were briefly discussed, the most important being 'hear it and were anxious to do e salt question came up for far- tilation.
