A SERIES OF LETTERS ADDRESSED TO THE AGRICULTURAL PUBLIC OF CANADA, BEING A CAREFUL STUDY OF DAIRY METHODS AND PRACTICES IN GREAT BRITAIN AND EUROPE, DURING A FOUR MUNTHS’ VISIT In 1888,
[This letter is copyrighted and republish- ed in this paper by permission of the author. }
In Canada’s resources, developed and un- developed, the field, the forest, the fishery, the mine, maufactures and commerce, all occupy no mean place. It is, however, no deprecia- tion of the other resources to say that both in actual results and in future promise, the first named stands highest in importance, Oar ex- ports are an illustration of this fact. In 1837 our agricultural exports amounted to more than half of the total exports. The industry which, by virtue of exports; is second in im- portance is that of the forest, and the exports of the latter were less than half those of the field. In round millions of dollars, our total exports, in 1887, were as follows :—
Ee Py eon $41,000,000 eg sac ei 20,000,000 i” ye ace 7,000,000 i a 4,001,000 Manufactures...... .......... 3,000,000 cae ee Joe 2,000,000 Miscellaneous ............... 1,000,000
Ss ob ches + achic wae $78,000,000
In this classification 1 have made a depart- ure from that of the trade and navigation tables. In the “field” (agriculture) 1 have included ‘‘animals and their products,” ex- —- ‘*furs,” which I have classified separa- tely.
These figures, striking as they are, do not fally express the relative importance of ayri- culture. Among the considerations which emphasize that expression are the following :— 1. The forest products exported are more nearly in a raw state, like deals, planks, ete., and do not represent the employment afford- ed that field products do, the latter including such products as cattle, cheese, butter grain, etc. (2) Forest products belong only to the new phase of the country, aud must wane with its development, while the tield is the present backbone and the future promise of the country; and our highest prosperity in the future will be contingent upon its best and continuous expau-ion and improvement, which both are porsibie.
Now an analysis of the exports of our mosi important and valuable a_ricultural resources will show there is one special branch of the industry which overtups the other branches, even as agriculture itseif stands higher thaa our other resources. We exported in 1887 in round miliion dollars :—
Cheese and butter........... $8 600,000 BE UN as oon cae vceks 6,000,600 Hariey---5-<155 5 PER ees; 5,000,090 POON Pv. es eka oo 4,000,000 POE oo ok oe eh ore ees co ee 2,000,000 VU. eee Se 2,000,000 a pe ud 2,000,000 MNES ce iicns wood es (neariy).. 2,000,000 ep Nig Oe apr aga 10,000,000
oe ee es $41,000,000
The dairy exports here stand highest of all. Indeed, they exceeded our combined exports of sheep, fruit, bacon, hay, oats, hides, pota- toes and wool! They were nearly 20 per cent. of all the agricultural exports, and over 16 per cent of our total exports !
These facts indicate, so far as exports have any meaning, that the dairy is a factor in our industrial economy which is second to ne other. it is such a factor in a sense not in- dicated by figures, for milk production rather than being unduly exhaustive te the soil is favorable to a system of cultivation which will help to renew the fertility of soil already impoverished by grain cropping. It is the Canadian experience that the intelligent pro- duction of milk and the skillful manufacture of its products, brings prosperity to the agri- cuiturist.
The manifest advantages of dairying, and the large place it has in our industrial econ- omy, bespeak a condition of things favorable tu the future prosperity and progress of the country.
Unhappily, a further analysis of our dairy exports will greatly modify any self-congratu- lations. While in a general splendid expan- sion and rapid growth of our exports, our dairy products, as a whole, have kept pace with the most important ot our other exports, one of these dairy products has been steadily falling behind in a most marked degree. The years 1872 to 1*87, which increased our total exports from 61] to 78 million dollars, or 22 per cent., increased our cheese and butter ex- ports from $5.500,000 to $8,000,000, or 48 per cent. ; while our butter exports, instead of showing their share of increase, have actually fallen off from three anda half millions to one million dollars, or no less thaa 73 per cent. ! It, of course, follows that the exports of cheese must have had an almost phenomenal expansion, in order to have given the combin- ed exports so good a showing as they” have made. And the actual increase of our cheese exports have, indeed, been something striking. From less than two million dollars in 1872, they have grown to over seven million dollars in 1887, an expansion of about 286 per cent.
The actual reputation abroad of Canadian cheese, compared with what it was before the trade began to assume noticeable proportions, is a flattering contirmation of the conclusions which naturally follow from a study of the above figures. At onetime Canadian cheese
by liberal remuneration for what they find to be exceedingly valuable service.
On the other hand, the actual reputation abroad of Canadian butter to-day, compared to what it was at one time, is of a less flatter- ing character. Indeed, it is a question: which has fallen off the most, our exports of butter (which we h»ve seen has gone down: 73 per cent.), or our reputation for making it !
So much for the past of our dairy industry. W hat is its possible and probable future? To myself, in spite of the discouraging aspects of one branch of our enquiry, the outlook is hopeful.
First—The country is remarkably well adapted for dairying. The success of the cheese industry is abundant proof of adapta- tion for the production of miik, and of one at least of the miik products. Our failure in butter exportation is not necessirily proof that the country is not adapted for butter production. The quality of buiter which we export is small in proportion to what we con- sume at home. The Canadiana people are light consumers of cheese, but heavy consum- ers‘of butter. Our butter consumption is, to a very considerable extent, of an exacting character, and it absorbs a larger proportion, if not nearly all, of the very best portion of our whole make. Local prices for the best of our butter are usually sufficiently high to force the exporter to hindle quontities of cheaper and inferior batter. One batter maker within a mile of my writiag, jas sold no butter for years ut iess than 20 ceata, per pound. He always has ‘his price,” ania few yerrs ago his price was 25 cents per pound. This butter has usuaiiy been sold directly to some of the many consumers al- ways on the lowkout for good butter at any reasonable price. Doubtiess not a single tub of it ever found its way into the expo: ts, for the reason that it was always, poken tor, and usually at figures «hich for- bade its expoit. The person referred to has just sent one tuv to a Montreal family, whose head wiiies that it is ‘ very fine butter.” One tub has gone to Kingston, Ont.; one gues to Oitawa, aud the balauce is speken for by a Montreal retailer. There is nothing exceptional in this instance, it is merely illustrative. of a condition of t! ings which b-ars upoa the question of tie giade of our whole butcer produciion.
Again, the fau ty condition of butter in a foret-n market is not alweys a proof that ihe butter was devoid of qua ity Wueu Uist made, Ir may not have been packed to provide for the .rying conditions of its subsequ: nt hand- ling. It may have been unfair'y tested im its trausportation or by speculative ** holding.”
As a matter of fact, in every province of the Domin:on, and very likely in every country, more or less butter hos been and is being wi. de, which would be consideved fine in any mar- ket. It is unlikely that in Ireland itseif bet- ter butter can be made than in our own Prince Edward Island—equally green and beautiful. **Gilt-edged” butter may be made almost anywhere in maritime Nova Scotia and New Srunswick, with their :ich marshes and grassy slopes, kissed by Atiantic seabreezes. Quebec hus its Eastern Townships, the very name of which is synonymous with the best butrer of the country. it has, too, its Kamourask» district, which, though it has shipped enough bad butter to spoil the best reputation, did it in spite of cattle, grasses and atmosphere, which have produced some, and might have produced more, of the finest milk and butter in the world. Ontario being more of a wheat- growing country, has had jess of the advan- tage of having made butter-making in some degree a specialty, but it is not to be doubted that in every one of its rich counties excel- lent butter bas been made, though tons of it have been spoiled by bad mixing and store packing. As for our glorious Western herit- age—the prairies—there may be some parts of it lacking the abundance of pure water essen- tia! tothe production ofZfinest butter; but they are probably only a small proportion of the whole, and where there is water there ure the added advantages of superb dairy cattle, rich, sweet prairie grasses, nature’s purest air, cool summer nights, and, let it be added, a people of enterprise and intelligence, the pick of everywhere. If Canuda does not take first rank asa dairy country, it will not be because she is not favored by nature with all the essential conditions of grasses, water, climate, ete.
Doubtiess there are districts in Canada, because of natural conditions or circumstan- ces, not sv well adapted for butter as for cheese production. This may be true of some of our wheat-growing water-scant Untario counties, or some of our rich low clay lands of our Quebec parishes; but these districts will contine themselves more closeiy to cheese
roduction, as a profitable specialty, making Listher only in supplementary way, and mainly for consumption more or less local.
Second.—The genius of the people of Can- ada is equal to the special needs of successful dairying. Here I have touched upon an im- portant factor of success. Nataral advantag- es, though necessary t» complet«st success, are almost less than half the battle. We are coming more and more into days of stitf com- petition, in which intelligence, enterprise and skill will play the fullest part. Scientific investigation, to discover Nature's seciets; experimental work, leading to perfection ot method; ingenious inventivus, to perfecr nec- essary app ianc’s; originality and push in enterprise —all are necessary to success in the strong competition already upoa us. in push- ing to the front in cheese-making, Canada has shown herself peop ed with a race possessed of the qualifications for success. The growth of the cheese industry, if carefully studied, will be seen to be not an accident nor a spurt, but a real growth, due to the intelligent en- terprise of the people most intimately con- nected with that growth. It is the united action of the pioneers of the industry in Ov-
was exported under an American brand, to give it a better hold upon the English mar- ket; to-day itisto be feared that shrewd Americans know too ‘well that Am- erican cheese will sell better
adian. The reputation of Canadian cheese is now second to none, and the success of the Dominion in cheese awakened odasidenahie enquiry 4s to our, methods among our competi‘ors. Both in Denmark, the present butter country par er. cedlence, and in Holiand, the premier country for milk production and dairy exports, I saw indications of a disposition to study the reasoas 1 Canada’s success. Incidentally I might re- mark that fer four years the southwestern sonnties of Scotland have been steadily im- proving the quality ef their cheese under the personal instruction of Canadian cheese- makers, who are introducing the Canadien ystem. The first season the canny Sets were content with the importation of one in- structor; but now they are not satisfied with
