"MkgitUrti t«t aeeoriamee with the €f^iifig1a Act,** and republi$hed in thit paptr by permU$ion of the author. At the British iHif^ Fanners' oonfere0«e there was no fact brought out Bkore clearljr than that of the severe conditions of saccees- ful coupetitioH. It «ill Bormise many td leafn that it i« a Veritable proUem with the British fanher hilnself how to get his butter plaeM in his dwn Itiiifltet In spite of all the advantages l^hich be onght to possess over his competitors, sotne of the latterâ€" alwa/s with more or I^Ss ettent of i^ater-way to ttttverseâ€" seem to pdft§«B3 more Or less pres- ent advantage otti' him ia actwil (kmp«titiau. Apparently tlte old state Of things when dairfitig irM k domestic indtistry and the prodileer was in close ard easf toncli with the cotiBumer has Oomidetely efaanged, and the British iatmet has not feadily adapted lumseUC^o the new conditions. My friend, Mr. D. Tallerman, of London, probably the best authority on such matters (a«tbor t^ "Agricultural Distress and Trade Depression" just pnbhshed), explains it thus "Not with standing all the changes that have taken place in the social institutions of the nation, and the concentration of large massec of the population in diHtiuct localities during tho presout century, farmers still adopt-aud carry out the usages and castoma of their prede- cessors, as practised from time immemorial." Mr. Tallerman thought it a "curioua trait in the character of agriculturists," of the lead- ing commercial country of the world that they do not realize that a practical knowledge of the science of the matter is essential to profitable distribution as well as to profitable production I This slowness of agriculturists to adapt themselves to new conditions is not a charfcoteristic of the English agriculturists alone. We, too, in Canada, have much to learn and to do, to keep pace with the enter- prise and the progress whicdi is a character- istic of some of our. ccnnpetitors. We may truly say of ourselves as one of the Enghsh speakers said of themselves, that, in some particulars, "continental nations surpass us." While the British dairy farmer has been asleep, some of his neighbors have seized the opportunity, and have evolved a sv stem of marketing suited to the needs of the case, by which he has made immense profit? out of the great consuming British puDlic. In France, as 1 shall show in later writing a principal characteristic of their flourishing butter trade is a trade system suited to the conditions of the market. Denmark is fully alive to this phase of the industry. We should profit by this fact. If it be difficult for tbe butter-maker within a half-day's journey of London to get mto-his own mark- et, how much mors (hfficult to supply that market, for us who have ten days' water travel to accomplish. If the Englishman who is on the spot is distanced by tiie foreigner, who has a better market system, how may we expect to get a foot-hold, iu the face of active and intelligent competition, by ambling along seronul.v, in a free and easy way, trusting to chance rather than to intelligent, well-direct- ed effort 7 Hie not very creditable answer to this question is an expiring Canadian butter trade. The lesson to be learned is the ne- cessity to rouee ourselves, and by our enei^ gies to put new life into that which is too valuable to lose without a struggle to save it. Margaiine 1 Margarine. This poetic word is. to the British farmer, full of ghoulish meaning. He awoke one morning to find the British public eating this strange thing,iinder the impression that it was butter. When he got fairly awake he uttered a stout John Bull protest. The letter took the form of an ap peal to Britisii law. making I the rfrOeJM they tur-^ dk -: I nrtobe, cM Mbse^oeutlv ,: pi-i!ej Let theui uuiver-ttiiv deyitiea eug^stetl by the ttbOiei named ti^Mk eraus gdide. And their rep^ti n will spH^ disappear, atU after that ihe roia of Sii^ dair^ng wiU not Le far off The prodactioit of butter whi is 80 per cehx. aiiaA] bt^ cbein;e competed wholly ot the s^e material of lard compo^6i of vile, if not aHolutely m,' wholesome, comfiquuds, hud bett^ be left w the inventors atlS designers of tSis cpecie^ of enterprise. On ilte g«)Hiid of sophisticv tion and stdnlterat^. h-ime pr,Miiieert can- not hope to compel with tUeir smatt cousins, Mr. Long's advice to dairy iarmeft to nsq' margarine is saitl to have been received widi •8om»w and regret,' and to have beenhcarblT condemned: The professor had better pag, OB to the continent and. see what the French and Danish butttfr makers will say to him should he counsel them tc* coolly and deliber- ately 'ruin their" trade. All we cane aboiiV here is to see thitt ta^rgarldie is always sold as sncb; and. that our best hom6 b^nds ef butter Beit fair play." One almOM wonders why the Brifiih dairy farmer does Hot feel inchned' actually to pro- hibit the sale of margarine, and admires hi^ pluck in submitting to the iiAiovacCion, upod principle. W^bether or not i* *ould be s wise action to prohibit. I do nciknow â-  but it seems to have beeti a good thing 'for Den- mark to do, for ii K said to have had the ef • foot there of 'driving the article entire^ out of tbe market, jfud of creating a good home demdud for lAtre hotter.^ It altf se^s to' have beeii a gooM policy fo." Canada, for it is a part and parcel of the genehu pMicy 61 Canadian dairymen, who'se temper is W stamp their feet on eyery seiofoiance Cf the ghoul of adulteration and deception irf the manufacture of dairy goods. Under that policy, at least one branch of our industry has flonrifhed, while under a different policy the Americans have come to lament a certain measure of failure. It will be noticed that the Jiiverpool Echo in its scathing remarks, has reference to the "smart cousins*' of "New York" anb "other States," not to its Can- adian brethren. There is a market as well as sentimental value to us in the milder atti- tude of the Eqghsb writer towaoads ourselves. As in our dairy history it always has been, surely oi^r best and grandest policy always shall be â€" unadulterated honesty. -W.H. LYNCH.

Some think the law. is not effectively en- forced. "Although the English wholesale houses probably sell margarine as sttch, tbe name may get lost before the product leaves the village grocer." So said Mr. Smith at the conference but one will notice every- where in England, side by side with butter, in nearly all the provision shops, an article labelled "margarine," of several quaUties, paid at various prices, always lower than butter. From this tact I was led to infer thatj though there may have been, and donUlffls is yet, more or less iUicit sale, the law most be enforced somewhat thoroughly, for, otherwise, such labels would not be used so oonspionbusly. I would attach more weight to a statement like the following â€" AlthoDfth the grocers probably sell 'margar- ine as meh its name and identity is probably lost before it appears as butter on a great many English tables â€" boarding-house tables especiaUy. If my Canadian readers, few of whom have ever seen margarine, have any ciniosity: to know how good an imitation of butter it js, let them visit England and they will easily and often see it as they pass through the streets of towns, andâ€" whether they will or not â€" will be likely to eat it.
