S we have previously stated, the \ trade in country milk to our A cities and towns has expanded % greatly in the past fifteen years, and has now attained enormous dimensions, though it is not pos- mMc to obtain exact statistics about it. In many dairying districts throug-hout tlie entire country, wherever there is a contiguous railway, cheese-making has succumbetl to the milk trade. Entire parishes which but a few years ago were wholly devoted to cheese and butter making now scarcely produce any cheese at all, and very little butter. The change is striking and complete. In other parishes, tooâone side only of which is, per- haps, within sufficiently easy reach of a rail- wayâthe revolution is making its way. The farms lying nearest to the railway commonly send off the whole of their milk the year round, while those on the other side make cheese in the summer and autumn months. But when winter approaches and milk becomes scarce, when, in consequence of colder weather, it can be de- livered in town in better condition, the demand for it increases according to its scarcity, and the farmers who are constantly engaged in the milk trade hunt up the milk of those who are not, in order to supplement their own deficient winter production. During at least five months of the winter season the price of milk is such that cheese-making farmers are glad to dispose of all they can possibly spare, and the milk-selling farmers are equally glad to buy it and collect it from the outlying farms, sending it off to town alo
