[This letter is copyrighted and republished in this paper by permvuiiou of the author.] TBIB LETTBR IB THE TIBST OT A BEBIB8 Trhieh the writer is about to address to the dairymen of Canada, as one outcome of a four mcntha' study of the dairy question abroad, V^ a Gncadian, from a Canadian standpoint and with Canadian interests iu t||w. That the letters WILL BR BEAD BT ALL OAKASIAN DAIBYUEN the writer has a right to ask and a reason to expect. Tlie right to ask comes of what the letters have cost tbe writer; the rea.sou to expect comes of the fact that the work done has been done in the interest of those ad- dressed. That the opportunity of reading will ccme to all who wi^h it. we have an as- surance in the attitude of the Canadian press on this subject. The intelligent interest taken by the newspaper editors of Canada, for several years past, in the queptian of THB IXPROVBKSKT OF OCR UAIBT IMIilTgTBT leaves little to be desired. The experience of the wi iter has been such Uiat he feels warranted in the belief tbat if the most is not made of his own humble efforts in tins direction, it will not be the fault of his fellow countrymen on the press. It is due to myself and my subject to say at the outset that the work whicii I did undertake was not the original iulentiou of my visit abroad. There was uo lack of suggestion of the need of some sach action and its large possible value to Canadian Rgi'iculture but it did not seem, on tlin one hand, a work to devolve upon any sinple in- dividual 10 attempt to ai-compUsh, while, on the other haud, whatever 'igency was tiie proper one did not appear alive to its re- spoudibility. The more immediate object of tiie visit was in a response to an invitation from the BRITISH DAIRY FARUESs' ASSOCIATION to give an address at their annual couferencs. The ultimate or main purpose of ibe visit was to make the opportunity an occasion for acquiring information of enouKh value to justify the uecesB.iry outlay of lime aucJ money, which outlay could not be afiorued otherwise. The actual line of work foUoiX-ed out, therefore, wastjiiite different fiom what bad beeu intended, and was a lii:o of work tbat appeared to ' OPEN UP OF ITSELF, a natural sequence, practically, of some years of work that preceded it. Immediately the fact of the proposed visit haying become publicly known, froin various quarters there came, spontaneously, sugges- tions of the pressing needs Wuich the oppor- tunity might be expected to serve Members of Parliament and other pabl'c men, more or less enthusiastically in favor of improvement, made personal suggestions as to what might or ought to be done. The following extracts from a letter written me on the first of May last by Professor E. A. Barnard, then direc- tor of agr-cultnre for the Province of Quebec, will illustrate the EXPECTATIONS ENTEBTAINED OF MY VISIT. Prof. Bmard wrote â€" "Delighted to hear of your being called to England on such a complimentary mission. I hope you will take time to look into dairy matters there some- what carefully. What we need most for the English market, I think, is (I) An organiza- tion such as the Dominion Imn^gration agent at.Liverpool, promoted for the sale of live stock (2) a package, or a system, by which our ftesh butter â€" properly preserved â€" can be laid on the English consumer's table. I have been studying the question for some time, and I have come to the conclusion that we can press our butter into lb. squares, nicely stamped pack each pound in par ;hment paper box, say 2i lbs. together, or even 12 lb, boxes â€" putting up say eight 12 lb. boxes into a large shipping case. The whole must be so arranged with a preservative against great changes of temperature, as to reach the re- tailer in tne beat shape. If that can be done, and an active, honest agent found to take care of our shipments, we shall HAVE DONE A OBEAT DEAL FOR OUR COUNTRY. "I am prepared to help you, or anyone elpe with all my might, for the realization of such an object. "With our promised new era of fast steam- ers, competing lines, etc., with our proxim- ity to the seaboard, with cool storage, and with care in making and shipping, our butter should reach the consumer in Great Britain in as good condition as the best of Normandy. Of course our butter is longer on board ship, but cool storage and the right package, ex- cluding air. or nearly so, from the moment the hotter comes in the churn to the time it is put on the table, even in England, makes this possible for us, as well as for Normandy makers, if we organize and so properly to work about it. "Try, by all means, to study this matter out thoroughly. I wish the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa would help you in-lbis maitter Should yon «ee Mr. Lowe or the Hon. Mr. Carling about it, I have no doubt they would give you fall assistance, and en- able you to obtain from this voyage TBI PUBLIC.
