The Author trusts that the Agricultural Colleges 

 and Dairy Schools will find in "Canadian Dairying" 

 a reliable and suitable text-book for the use of stu- 

 dents. He also hopes that the man on the farm," the 

 maker in the factory, the manager of the factory, the 

 cheese and the butter buyer, and all those interested 

 in the. welfare of dairying in Canada, will find in the 

 work many, useful and valuable lessons. 



The writer has, since 1891, been slowly gathering 

 the data here given. Many of the facts have been 

 stated at various places and in various forms, but 

 they are now collected in what he hopes will be a 

 concise, simple 'and readable book on dairying. 



To the dairymen of Canada, ., who have been so 

 . uniformly kind to the Author, and who have' been 

 -so patient with his many weaknesses, this little work 

 is affectionately dedicated.
