MALCOLM MCLEOD, * 0.

—_— ee

Tae relatives and friends of the late Malcolm McLecd, Q. C., assemb'ed this afternoon to pay the last tribute of respect and love to one who was well wortby of it. Mr. McLeod could have been a public man and have taken high rank among the statesmen of Cenada. But he preferred the retirement sad quiet of his profession and hiahcme. Indeed the state of this health im recent years necesritated his re- jection of the solicitations of bis political friends to enter the public arena. Never- theless he took a deep interest in 61] pub- lic movements towards the development of the country. But the expression of his interest was unostentatious. Few knew, for inttance, that he was a sirong and in- fluential promoter of the Belfast and Murray Harbor Railway and did much in the way of suggestion and advice, by word of mouth and in the prese, to keep the proposal before the yeopleand the Gov- eroment, Though self-contained, he was @ man of strong feelings and warm affec-

ione. He was as proud of Scotland and and his Scettieh ancestry as any man in this province. A lover of all good books, the possessor of one of the best libraries in the proviner, he was # devoted student of the bistory and literature of the Jand of his fathers, and his sympathy with the crofters and with al] Scottish men who were the eul jects of oppression was keen and active. His friends were few, but tot them he was etedfas!, true and kind.

his lifea leading member of the legal profession... The Bar of this province has lost in bim its brightest ornamest.

A SUCCESSFUL ‘DAIRY ASSOCIA- TION.

Edward Sheese Factory.

Prince Island’s Biggest

The annual statement of the Kensing- ton Dairying Avsociaven ie before us as we write. Frow it we learn thot between Mey 29th and November 3rd, 2,943,475 pounds ef milk were received at the Ken- sington sheese factory. Thies milk was furnished by 246 patrons ard was manu

factured into 286,451 pounds of first-elas

cheese, which sold for $25 744.35, «on average of 10.03 cents a pound.

The amounts of milk supplied by the

| different patrons ranged all the wy from

58,380 to 112 pounds, The average of the patrons was a litle over 12,009 Ibs. Three patrons sent over 30000 pounds each, one of them as higt as 37,000 Ibs.; | 34 patrens each vent over 20,000 !be,

The percentage of fat in the milk sup plied was 3.71. The average value of milk to the patrons was 79.09cente a hundred pounds. The net value of butter fai to patrons for the season was 2! 286 cents per pound.

This last item givesan idea of Low much mere profitable it was to tury milk into cheese than into butter during the past season. Bui theese conditions may be reversed anether year with a lower price for cheese,

The charge for mannfacturing this large amount of cheese at 1} cents per pound amounted to $3,580 64 or an average o: $14.61 per patroa. ‘he drawing of the milk to the factory coset $1,714 48, or an average ef about $6.998;e" pa ron, and an average of 5 81 cents per hundred pounds

The total expense for manufacturing m'ik,drawing and marketing footed up $5,432,18 and the patrons received the balance $28,312.17, which was an average of a trifle over °$9° 15. The largest patron received $473 99 for his milk, and the smailest patron 88c.

This factory is ruu on the butter fat casein test ; that is by adding 2 per cent to the fat test. ‘This is now considered the fairest way to value milk for cheese mak~ ing as it takes into account the caeein as well as the butter fat. Still we find « difference in value in some eases of 12¢ per hundred between rich and peor milk. The lessen from this is that patrons sheuld aim to get the cow that gives a large flow of high testing milk in order to make th> most ofthe dairy business.

The Kensington factory has enly been im operation six years. So wethink that this is a pretty goed showing for it, When we consider that during the first few years of its existence the company had to con tend with a great amount of prejudice agaioet the principle of co-operative dairy- ing, which bas ultimately proved such an upguslified success end #0 eatisfaciory to all comeerned.

We await with interest the statements of the other dairy stations in order that we may get the figures for our duiry busi ness for the year, which must foot up toa very contiderable sum for thie small prov- ince.

Much of the success of the Kensington factory is due to their excellent manager and cheese-maker, Mr. Albert Raby, who has been in ebarge #inve the factory start- ed and tothe energetic and psinstaking secretary and eslesman, Joho Anderson, Exq.
