The next year I had a young !man ■ who had had a good training; his cheese I sold at from 84s to'93s‘ per cwt. Such is’, the difference in the market value of. .cheese. The next point of importance is'tfie packing case.. .This at blio,bfe^innin^Xvks a difficult matter .with- the inexpprfepced Americans ; : . r but, after paying a heayy price for their knowledge, they fouhd; out the best plan,,anfi still stick to i|^'K’ia for yon; to find out a better : oh®-if you -Csp. •Their plan is a, r separate box, eagh cheese.

The next difficult point tq- be-got over is- the heat of the .Tropics!;;, £! This matter, however, will soon be definitely settled. lam informed from "EMoon ■that a vessel will be,,in,Lyttelton soon ■after Christmas, !wUh ; chambers pro perly fitted up, and' so constructed that the heat need, never be over 50 degrees. if that then you have nothing whatever toi fear, for 50 degrees is a nice temperature for cheese and butter, v Science ,is making such rapid stride* in-‘thS present fd|jf>f}at every obstacle in the way of transit must soon be removed. Now allow" ine just tp .touch upon the butter question.' : The manufac tory of butter is very simple compared with cheese-making. There i are only a few essential points to be observed, and the butter must be gbod. - : Thp making of good butter taxes the physical an the mental powers.: ■;first; .Pjien and a cool dairy' is required, and;-by all means a good supply of fresh oool|W(ater. The milk must not be allowed, fcr, spur before the cream ia takenofi! Then people think that to makcjgood bptterft is necessary that the cream shouldb&first sour. That is a'great mistake,-for when - cream begins to ferment it ia the first, f of corruption, and no person can make, first class butter out of fermented •; w™ the milk young and churn soon. thpn the butter must be good. Many people, to avoid labor, heat the cream before qhiwn ing; That process makes the butter paler t.btn usual and destroys the natural flavor. When dairies are small, and indeed iJjirgo } dairies often keep the cream wx. orisaven .days before it is simply because ■ ;thS do not 18BJM W6fig* ’df'iMpehtqdly
