The United States Bureau of Foreign Commerce has recently 

 issued a report containing information relating to creameries in 



various foreign countries. The total number 

 Creameries in Q f creameries in Norway is about 650. Their 



production of butter and cheese in 1901 

 amounted to 7,716,000 lb. and 9,123,000 lb. respectively, and the 

 quantity of milk employed daily was about 220,000 gallons. 

 Nearly all the creameries are co-operative, but some are rented 

 by the shareholders to individuals or corporations at a fixed 

 annual payment. Most of the establishments are provided with 

 separators and other modern equipments, and the butter is partly 

 sold on the English market. The few cheese dairies in Norway 

 " have not yet succeeded in producing cheese which satisfies the 

 demand of foreign markets." There are three milk-condensing 

 factories, and they export nearly all their output.
