A discussion took place regarding the falling off of exhibits of creamery. butter at Ole To- ronto Industrial Exhibition, in which the circumstance was attributed to the want of a proper place for dairy pro- &tete. It was the general opinion of the association that this important in- dustry should receive more attention from the managers of the exhibition: and that weekly cold storage space to the erincipal ports in Great Britain should be provided by the government, instead of c yeey two weeks, as now arranged in some cases. It wasdeeided to hold the annual convention in Exe- ter during the second week in Janu- ary, and to engage the best dairy tal- ent that could be secured.
