The avere,ge production oa, mila per eow in the dietriat for the year was 3,400 pounds, and the average test 3.64- per cent, of butter fat. The sanitary condi. Voile of *tablewere much improved. During the season the output of cheese degreased by 45,230 boxee. Samples of water from the wells of 311 cheeee fac- tories were analyzed, and e3 per ceutof them were rented to oe eontamineted.

Dean, of the Ontario Agra eultural College, gave an addreeeon eLemse and butter problems. Over -ripe milk at cheese factories can be prevented by keeping everything clean at the farm, and by cooling the night's milk to a temperature of 65 degree. Acidity of milk at the tirae of adding rennet and at dipping and the moisture in curd and cbooese also were discussed. Some of the butter problems are cream -testing meth- ods, cost of pasteurizing cream, 'and how to care for cream on the farm. A resolution was paesed recommending that cheese factories demand that the milk from patrons be cooled at 65 de- gree.s immediately after milking each etow, and when neceseary to mix the night's mil& with morning's milk, the night's milk be cooled to Oa degrees. In a thort address Mr. A. A. Mc- faergow, representing A. A. Ayer & Co., of lifooirceo the speaker advised the use of better boxes, the present ones in use bele!' too brittle. He recommended alio that mercers always put the elicese in boxes right side ao, and do not sena in the same shipments boxee and cheese of odd sizes. FARMERS' INTERESTS. At tne evening session Mr. A.

Martin Burrell, Dominion Minister of Agriculture. As an lutroduction the Minister paid a tribute to the dairy eow, the greatest of farm animals. The value of expert of dairy products in 1877, he said, was $6,821,000, while this year it was $24,- 7010900. He assured- the dairymen of Ontario that he wee in sympathy with them and their work. lteference was made by the lifinister to Itis early ex- periettees in Canada., where he has prac- tised farming and chiefly fruit growing feir '28 years. Through all phases of farm life and worte he has gone, and. theTefore, knowe dairy farming better probably than most dedrymen know fruit growing, because a fruit man uniet be a farmer, although it is not essential that a farmer grow fruit. In his ex- perieuce he has leitrtied that success in dedryttig depends upon thoroughnest in pgrformitg the operations eonteeted with the induetry. Ile learned also that the rieel purpoeo cow is a fellacyr on any lama Sueces in attle raiehig ad breeding lies in iterating, Imbecile of specifle *nee, straight dairy breeds for 4:heirying and strictly beef breeds for beef purposes.

They will oot. 1,e "spoon fea." The deportment is closely in touca with dairy work, as is evideneed by the work being done in cold storage problems and in cow testing, One difficulty that Gov- ernmente have is to know just what the industry wants ant needs. To the dairy- men, the speaker advised that they im- part th others the knowledge that they fella:0y have, aed not be niggardly about it, and then ask for reciproeity. For the development of the dairy in- dustry it is necessary also to get an intelligent grasp of tho work that is being done in dairs lug in other countries end this the Govcroment is endeavoring I always to keep informed on and to Mai tiart to the dairymen throughout the Dominion, COW TESTING Many Herds in Ontario Do Not Yield Any Profit. •••••••••••11.4•1•101. Campbellford, Ont., despatch: At the eoneluding session this morning of the convention of the Dairymen's Associa- tion of Eestern Ontario, Mr. C. F. Whit- ley, Dairy r000ch, Ottawa, delivered an addreee "Tne lareeent Value of Cow Testing." Befere a cow can return a profit of even one cent, she muat give over 4,000 pounds of milk per year. On examining the records of 1,600 cows for last year, Mr. Whitley fouud that 35 per cent. gave less than 4,000 pounds; that is, seven out of every twenty cows Beat - hired. over several counties- could not be said to yield any profit above the cost of feed. A comparison between two herds in Ontario, one of eleven cows and the other of five cows. showed that every time the eleven cows filled one factory milk can the five cows filled not one but three similar eons. The five - cow herd gave an average yield of 12,068 pounds of milk each that tested 3.3 per cent. of fat, thereby showing a profit of $80 per cow, The heal of eleven gave a profit 6f only $5 per cow. Thus, one good cow camels sixteen of the peorer kind. To determine the worth of the individuals in any herd, the cows must be, tested regularly and properly. Dairy records show that eome cows produce milk at a coet of 05 cents per 100 pounds, while others under the same roof run up the cost to $1.20: There IH everything to gain in taking up cow toting.

As soon as possible the daigh-preseure system, which had been ordered on by Mayor Geary, came into play, and the deep 4road of a huge stream of water leaving the nozzle at a pressure of three hundred Pounds to the (square inch rose above the crackling a the flames. In a moment it was joined by another stream, and the two streams combining soon began Lo have a deeided effeet.

Sixteen other mon, it is reported, were injured by beig thrown about the ship. The cruiser, wallowing in the high seas, first up and then down, hurled the men with terrific force from one side of the ship to the other. Naval officers de- cline to give out any information, but it is reported on good authority that the Salem be more seriously damaged than at first reported, and in addition to los- ing her lifebeats and davits, she also lost a portiou of her starboard reviling and her bridge. The cruiser Dixie was hard hit by the atone, and sho la reported to have been completely disabled. The extent of her damage eould not be learned. The Dixie was further down the coast than the Salem, and she is being towed into Bermuda by two bettleehips. The bat- tleship Delaware lost two lifeboats and a steam launch, and the Connecticut, Ohio, Birmingham and Washington also suffered. The Delaware, one of the lat- est Dreadnoughts of the navy, strange to say, appears to have suffered more than the Connecticut and some of the snuffler leattleshipe. According to meagre reports received here, the Delaware suf- fered in proportion; alrnoat as much dam- age as the Saleni and the,Dixie„ but did not lose any of her crew. The wind, it is said, reached a velocity of 70 rniles an hour, and the seas Were so high that water poured down the smokestack of the Salem sena some smaller vessels, but did not extinguish their fires. The entire fleet kept upit wireless chatter all day, and incoming 'passenger steamers report hearing the ships talking with each other. The cruis- er 33irtninghoen, which was ale° damag- edin the storm'and which was ordered to convoy the Salem to the Virginian coast, has returned to sea, The Salem is now wending her way home alone, and will be met by several tug* from the navy yard when she reaches Hampton roads. The Salem 18 able to proceed under her own atone, as the machinery was not damaged by the storm. A WIRELESS ORY. Washington, Jan. 8.—Coneiderab1e anx- iety was felt earlyto-day by officials of the navy for the eofety ol the torpedo boat destroyer Terry and her crew of three officers •and eighty-three men, The little, vessel, which left New York last Thursday in company with Seven battle" ships of the Atlantic fleet and the mother torpedo vessel Dixie, convoying five destroyers, was diseovereel yeeter- day floundering about in. the heavy seas in a helplesa condition half way betsveen New York and.
