Now, let us make a comparison by values, calling the 

 cheese 10 cents and the butter 25 cents a pound. We 

 made in factories : 



Cheese, 215,885,301 Ibs., (>.i 10c. $2 I, ,">&, >:',(> 

 Butter, 20,411,784 Ibs., ( 25c. 7.352,J)4(5 



Value of factory prodir-t $39,941,482 



There was made in the private dairies: 



Cheese, 27,272,489 Ibs., @ lOe. $ 2,727,249 

 Butter, 777,250,287 Ibs., (a 25c. 194,812,571 



Value of private dairy products $197,039,820 

 Deduct value of factory products 29,941,482 



In favor of private dairy $167,098,388 



In short, the product of the private dairy is between 

 three and four times larger than that of the factory, and 

 nearly seven times its value. Important as the factory 

 is and is likely to become, let us not forget the private 

 dairy nor overlook the home interest in striving for a 

 little foreign patronage. 



Notwithstanding the fault with the census that is 

 found by some, the census is the most reliable source of- 

 statistical information about the dairy that we have.
