On the one hand the dairy in- dustry of France is stimulated by a very large home consumption of cheese and butter, and on the other by an ex- tensive export trade in the latter article, and a not inconsiderable one in the former.

Dairy-farming is also extensively followed in all the north-western departments of France, in some districts very successfully, on systems from which British farmers may copy much that will be to their advantage.
