  being 
  shown 
  in 
  the 
  manufacture 
  of 
  dairy 
  products. 
  There 
  still 
  

   exists 
  prejudice 
  in 
  some 
  circles 
  against 
  the 
  flavor 
  of 
  State 
  creamery 
  

   AS 
  compared 
  to 
  the 
  article 
  made 
  in 
  the 
  West. 
  This 
  is, 
  perhaps, 
  

   attributable 
  to 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  western 
  creamery 
  comes 
  forward 
  the 
  

   year 
  round, 
  while, 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  hand, 
  the 
  make 
  of 
  State 
  goods 
  is 
  

   confined 
  mainly 
  to 
  certain 
  seasons 
  of 
  the 
  year. 
  

  

  It 
  is, 
  however, 
  an 
  undisputed 
  fact 
  that 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  creamery 
  made 
  

   in 
  our 
  ovm 
  State 
  in 
  June 
  and 
  July 
  exceeded 
  in 
  price 
  the 
  western 
  

   commodity, 
  and 
  the 
  yearly 
  average 
  has 
  been 
  about 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  

   basis. 
  It 
  is 
  gratifying 
  to 
  report 
  that 
  the 
  producers 
  in 
  the 
  counties 
  

   of 
  Jefferson, 
  St. 
  Lawrence 
  and 
  Lewis 
  enjoyed 
  during 
  the 
  summer 
  

   and 
  early 
  fall 
  an 
  active 
  export 
  demand 
  for 
  June 
  and 
  July 
  goods 
  

   from 
  Canada. 
  This 
  enabled 
  the 
  factories 
  to 
  effect 
  close 
  clearances 
  

   and 
  was 
  possibly 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  prejudice 
  in 
  favor 
  of 
  Canadian 
  butter, 
  

   and 
  also 
  better 
  shipping 
  facilities 
  from 
  Canada. 
  This 
  demand 
  

   ceased 
  about 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  September 
  and 
  naturally 
  diverted 
  late- 
  

   made 
  stock 
  to 
  home 
  markets. 
  Quality 
  on 
  the 
  average 
  was 
  very 
  

   good 
  and 
  high 
  prices 
  ruled. 
  

  

  Cheese. 
  

  

  The 
  market 
  for 
  cheese 
  has 
  been 
  one 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  favorable 
  con- 
  

   ditions 
  characterizing 
  the 
  butter 
  market. 
  Prices 
  were 
  advanced 
  

   to 
  a 
  pitch 
  not 
  heretofore 
  reached 
  during 
  the 
  past 
  twenty 
  years. 
  The 
  

   make 
  was 
  light 
  and 
  Canadian 
  buyers 
  entered 
  the 
  western 
  and 
  nor- 
  

   thern 
  market 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  early 
  in 
  the 
  season 
  and 
  as 
  a 
  rule 
  outbid 
  

   'New 
  York 
  buyers. 
  Quality 
  of 
  the 
  production 
  was 
  exceptionally 
  

   good 
  and 
  was 
  proof 
  that 
  the 
  makers 
  had 
  been 
  giving 
  closer 
  attention 
  

   to 
  details 
  and 
  had 
  profited 
  by 
  the 
  bulletins 
  issued 
  by 
  our 
  experimen- 
  

   tal 
  stations. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  source 
  of 
  regret 
  to 
  note 
  that 
  there 
  has 
  been 
  no 
  

   increase 
  in 
  the 
  export 
  demand, 
  while, 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  hand, 
  an 
  in- 
  

   crease 
  was 
  made 
  in 
  shipment 
  from 
  Canada. 
  The 
  f 
  actorymen 
  were 
  

   no 
  doubt 
  restricted 
  in 
  their 
  production 
  by 
  scarcity 
  of 
  milk; 
  other- 
  

   wise, 
  it 
  is 
  fair 
  to 
  presume 
  that 
  our 
  exports 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  heavier 
  

   than 
  for 
  the 
  preceding 
  year.
