There are no fewer than 5500 cheesemaking establishments in Switzerland, almost every village having one, whicb ia ran by the farmers themselves on the cooperative principle. In 1894 21,690 tons of cheese was exported, of a , value of £1,510,000. The greater part of the cheese goes to France, Germany, and Italy, and the milk is also exported to the value of £760,000, nearly the whole of which goes to Great Britain; also a sort of children's food, with a basis of milk, is exported, onethird of which goes to England. Experiments with a new method of meat preserving are being carried out in Victoria. The process consists of impregnation of the meat, with the smoke produced by burning a vegetable substance which growi on the Murray River. Several carcases of sheep treated in this way have been send to England in order to tot) the pr.QC.eu.
