DAIRYING IN CANADA.

Dr J A Ruddick, Dairy Commissioner for Canada, who formerly occupied a similar .position in New Zealand, has been visiting England. He contributed n valuable paper on the position of Canadian cheese in the world's markets to the World's Dairy Congress, and in it exploded the fallacy that decrease in cheese exports from Canada during recent years is due to decline in milk production; also the idea that; such cheese has been driven ott the market by iucreasing quantities coming from other parts of tho Empire. The truth is that many Canadian dairy farmers gave up making cheese, because they found more profitable channels through which to dispose of their milk. The decrease in Canadian exports coincided closc]v with the increase in exports from New Zealand. Dr. Rnddick held that the Canadian cheese industry, despite some decrease in production, is still in a healthy und flourishing condition. Production had now reached an approximate equilibrium. The volume of the surplus available for export to European markets m the future would depend somewhat on home consumption and export to the United States.
