Prince Edward Cheese Men Are Considering the Subject--Im- portant Letter From (Chief Dairy Commissioner. Picton, Sept. H--If more cheese fac- tories" 0f Prince Edward are to instal cool-curing systems, preparations must be 'begun before the cold fall weather sets in. President Wright, of the cheese board, feels this. If there is to be no greater returns obtained for cool-cured cheese than for the ordinary many fac- tories will not go in for the improve- ment, the patrons being adverse to the ex- penditure, if it is not to net a higher price President Wright thinks if three-quar- ters of the board, boarded cool-cured instead of only half, as at present, the sellers could better control the buyers. Chief Dairy Commissioner Ruddick, has just sent this important lettér, on the subject to the cheese board: "On my return from a trip to Wes- tern Ontario I find your letter of the 26th 'inst., in which you quote state- ments made by Montreal cheese ger- chants, or their representatives, to the effect that cheese cured at ordinary temperatures and afterwards placed in cold storage for fifteen days are, every- thing else being equal, as good in qual- ity as those from the cool curing rooms, which have never been above 56 or 38 degrees. "In reply, I have this to say, that those who make statements are ether ignorant of what they are talking about, or are deliberately misrepresenting the facts for selfish purposes, and you are at liberty to quote mé as making that statement. If the dajrymen of Prince Edward county pre to take the ad- vice of interested parties, who have not studied the question except from one standpoint, in preference to that of those who have given it thorough and careful study, without any selfish in- terest whatever, I. suppose there is no way of preventing them from doing so; but I trust their good sense will not lead them into any such error. It pretty lite in the day for anyone to at tempt to discredit the cool-curing of cheese. Of course, if the buyers can make the salesmen for cool-cured cheese believe that their cheese are not worth any more than the ordinary-cured, and can buy them for the same price as or- dinary-cured, I have no doubt they will do so, and I cannot say that I would blame them, We have had very little as sistance from some of the, buyers. in promoting the work of cool curing, al though several of them are on record as stating that cool-cured cheese were worth a cent a pound more than or dinary-cured, and that when there was | not as much difference as there is af the present time." is New York's 'Hanging Gardens."

A Montreal gentleman has contri- buted $10,000 to endow a fellowship at the Kingston school of mining. If there is one institution for technical training which deserves encouragement in a country like Canada, whose great mineral resources have been as yet superficially exploited, it the schools of mining. The graduates and students of the Kingston school were particularly identified with the devel- opment of the Cobalt field, and not only was their work of the highest character in a technical sense, but the high standard of professional ethics inculcated at that institution by its honored principal, Dr. Goodwin, did much to protect the public from the wildcat swindles which characterize every. new mining camp. !
