questions pertaining to markets, transportation and cold 

 storage, or what may be termed the commercial side of the 

 industry. The Dominion Government also assumes the re- 

 sponsibility for the enactment and the administration of the 

 laws relating to the manufacture, sale and exportation of dairy 

 products. 



AU the provincial departments of agriculture, except Nova 

 Scotia, have regularly organized dairy divisions. Dairy 

 schools are maintained in Ontario, Quebec, ISTew Brunswick 

 and Manitoba. Experts are employed who visit the cheese 

 factories and creameries during the working season, for the 

 purpose of giving instruction to the cheese or butter makers 

 and to advise with those in charge of factories on questions of 

 general management. Canada was the first country in the 

 world to adopt this system of factory instruction, and there 

 are now nearly 100 of these experts employed by the different 

 provincial governments. Much of our success in cheese-making 

 can be attributed to this system of factory instruction. 



The Dominion officials endeavour to keep in touch with 

 the tendencies and requirements of the markets to which our 

 butter and cheese are shipped, and to disseminate among the 

 cheese and butter makers such information as may be acquired 

 with that end in view. 



A large staff of men are employed, under the Dairy and 

 Cold Storage Commissioner, who watch and report on the 

 handling of butter and cheese from the time it leaves the 

 factory in Canada until it reaches the consumer in Great 

 Britain. The information thus collected is passed on to those 

 who may be interested, or who are responsible for the defects 

 which have been noted, and as a result there is constant im- 

 provement being made, not only in the quality of the butter 

 and cheese and in the appearance and style of the packages, 

 but also in the services provided by the transportation com-
