THE MILK COMPETITION

Sir, —I notice in the last issue ef Tas’ Wetk_r ExcaMiNeR .@ stavement sgued “Dairyman,” saying that Alfred BE Dews, of Hazelbroox. supolied the targert amount of m'lk toany eherre factory in the prevines during the. ,ae cheese-mxk- ing srasap,the amount being 108,872 pounds. 3

Now, if that amount of milk was pro- duced be one berd of cows, | would agree with “ Dasrymen.” But the fact is thet two farmer- cwoiag twoseparate herds f Cewa, hended snd fed on two Feparats farms, supplied the above amount, No doubt a good showing for tw» farmers, t Inorice that Mr D.P. Irviog, a patron of Vernon River cheeve factory, supplied during the pat cheese-making seasen the smount of 101,000 pouads from his herd of cows. Mr ‘ving, therefore, bolds the des iactier, -o f.r, of supplying the largest @ nount of in lk from one herd of cows to avy cheege factory in thie province, Tres.
