to the Dairy situation on the island
was conducted by s representative of
the Dairy Division, Ottawa. This ill-
vestigation was instigated by various
complaints from the buyers regarding
the quality and the discrimination in
prices paid for Island products.
The information was complied ami
discussed at the Dairy Conference
held at the time of the Annual Meet-
ing of the Dali-ymen’s Association.
The directors of the Dairy Associa-
tion decided that this information

Gentlemenz-
I am endeavorlng to gather some ln-
formation that will assist in working
out some feasible proposition for the
improvement of conditions in regard
to the dheese business _ of this Pro-
vince and as you have been handling
quite a large percentage of the output
for a numberof years, I would like to
have your views on the following;
questiens:- =
1. Howdoes the quality of Prince Ed-
ward Isltind cheese compare with the
hnest cheese you are receiving from
Canada?  ` "
2. How did the quality of the cheese
received from here during the past
season compare with 'what you were
receiving say ten or fifteen years ago?
3. How do the marked weights of the
cheese from here holds out as com-
pared with the cheese from Ontario
and Quebec? ‘
4. What do you find to be the chief'
defects in Prince Edward Island
cheese?
Your views on these matters would
be appreciated by all who are inter-
ested in the future cheese trade of the -
Province. and I trust from the inform-
ation we receive from you and similar|
sources, some plan may be devised to;
bring about improvement where it is
needed. -

Dear. Blr:-
Welare in receipt of your favor of
the 20th inst., and in reply to your en-
quIriel:- ' I
QUESTION I. Quality of P. E. I.,
cheese does not compare as finest
with what we receive either from
Townships or Ontario.
QUESTION 2. We consider qua-I
lity we _have received this year to be
on s. parity with what we have been'
receiviu¥ for many year! I>BBi-- W0]
do not detect any improvement; in
fact,:we have been a little more both-
erod~with.oi‘f flavor this year t-han
ulliiti.
' QUESTION 8. The marked weights
of _the cheese hold out favorably, on
the whole, as compared with the
_cheese we received from Ontario fac-
tories. Sometimeswe find excessive
shrinkage, but on the whole we feel
fail* 'weights are given.

Ieetl 'we find in the P. E. I.. C'h9950

is a tendency at times for the makers
to leave too much moisture, or rather,

SL 
ments of P. E. l., cheese received for
the season.
Our experiellce has taught us that
for the last two seasons our biggest di-
flleulty has been that of transportation.
The island cheese have on several oc-
casions been held up for want of trans-
port facilities and suffered thereby
from weather conditions.
Taking your questions seriatim, in
reply to:
No. 1. While P. E.. l. cheese are a
good average of quality they lack the
fillisll and character of the very best
sections, sucll as Belleville. This is
particularly noticeable in texture and
also in the get-up and appearance of
the cheese.
No. 2. We do not think the cheese
are s. great deal improved in the last
10 or 15 years, except in point of flavor.
At that time your cheese had ll. pecu-
liar flavor knowli as the "Island Fla-
vor.” This has fairly well dissappear-
ed in recent years.
No. 3. Marked weights, while not so
good as they were some years ago, cali-
not be described as worse than other
sections of Canada.
No. 4. In our opinion thechief de-
fects are, lack of finish in style and
boxing, rather short in texture and evi-
deilce of heating in transit.
We hope the foregoing may be oi
service to you.

We beg to acknowledge receipt oi'
yours of March 20th and in reply would
state that ill our opinion cheese frenl
75 to 80 lbs. are the most satisfactory
size for British markets and we llopc
you will make some effort to get your

Dear Sir:-~
We have received your cheese shipp-
ed per "Cascapedia."
We are not very pleased with a num-
ber of the lots in this shipment. The
200 marked-20D. and 40 B. 40 seem
0. K. as regards quality, also 52 B.42.
200 B.32’s run weak in body, and
quite a pqrtion are gassy.
25M. run' weak and open.
70 B.44 are too moist -and weak bo-
died.
The remainder of the lots are ripe
and off in flavor.
Re 200 B.33. When inspecting this
lot we came across one cheese made up
of sour crumbly curd, practically
worthless. We ilre going through the
let to find out how many there are of
this description. Whatever cheese
there are like this weoan only pay 3
cents per lb. for and we shall enclose
claim on these, assoon as we know
how many there are. -We eonsidel
it a fraud on-the part of this maker
to put in cheese of this description,
without specially marking them. or in
some way ‘notifying you, or ourselves
of there being in the lot. If the fac-
torymen think they can use these-
-cheese to better advantage. we willre-
tum them with pleasure, so let _.us_
know promptly. - -

PARIS, May 12.--The following offl-
clal communication was issued to-
night. “0n the left ballk of the Meuse
fighting in which we engaged ill the
coures of _the dey permitted us to en-
large noticeably our positions south-
east of Haucourt. A rather spirited
bombardment took place in the region
of le Mort Homme and Cumieres.
On the right bank of the Meuse
there has been n violent bombardment
oi' our first and second line trenches
between Haudromont wood and Vaux.
A german attack against our trenches
southeast of Douaumont was comple
tely repulsed. On the rest of the front
artillery actions which were particu.
larly spirited lin Cumpagne and Ves-
ges have occurred. A Belgian com-
munication says after violent shelling
of our works in the Envlrons of Dix-
    
muds German detachments twice at-
tempted to occupy s. section of our
trenches on the bnlnks of the Yser.
Both attacks were repulsed. Belgian
artillery has directed a concentrated
fire around Dixmude alld on the Ger-
man defensive organizations north
of that town. The ellemy's works
has been shattered.
PARIS, May 12.--Two attempts by
Germans last night to recapture pos-
itions oli the western slope of Dead
Man Hill, taken by the French on
May 10. were frustrated by the French
artillery fire, Artillery is active

active on the west bank of the Mouse,
evidently in preparation for renewed
attacks. the impression is again in the
French capital that the Germans are
preparing to abandon the attack- on
Verdun. In this conrnectlon the state-
ments spread broadcast by the German
semi-ofilcial news agency yesterday
with reference to the number of troops
involved was cited.
French officers ridiculed the state-
ment that 800,000 French troops were
engaged at Verdun. They said' that
the German Government u/ndeubtedly
caused such a statement to be publish-
ed to prove to the German people that
`. the Crown Prince was confronted with
` tremendous obstacles at Verdun, thus
explaining the failure of bisattempt
to take the fortress.

The handsome sum of$804.26 was col-
lected on Monday in aid of the Free
Dispensary conducted by the Charlotte-
town Allti-Tuberculosis Society. Tile la-
dies who distributed the envelopes on
Saturday ami took them. up on Monday
are exuberant in their praise of the
manner in which they were received
by all upon -whom they called. The en-
velopes were lsft at all residences in
the city and in almost every case they
were returned with an enclosure. The
very few persons who did not return
the envelopes may not have_under~
stood that the arrangement did not
call for_ large contributions. ,other-
wise they would no doubt have as-
sisted ln a small way, _because the
object is generally conceded to be a
most worthy one which all ciitlzens
would like to have a part in assisting.
The Officers of the Anti-Tuberculosis
Society were wise in adopting this
scheme instead of verbal canvass
formerly practised, for in this way
the wldow's mite has equal place with
the contributions of wealthy persons,
and some who were liberally contri-
buting for war purposes might not
be able to give a. large amount and by
this system could cut the cletil ac-
cording to the material at hand.
The total sum realized was $804.26.
Tl_lls_amoilnt was made up by contri-
butions ranging from one cent up to
ten dollars,- as foliowsz-
 »
and equipment of the several cheese
manufacturing companies up to'tlle
standard, from a sanitary standpoint,
that they were when the business was
started in the Province?"
Mr. BIFFEN. -No. Many of the fac-
tories require to be overhauled. The
floors are old and consequently leak.
The gutters also are contaminated with
filth and should be replaced with
others. , _
“Ml-_ splllett: Nc. 'nie trouble is
principally due to the faulty floors
and gutters, 'and consequent leakage
of whey, and washings getting under-
neath, also leaky conductors to the
whey tanks, and the surroundings be-
coming contamlnated. Many of the
vets are getting too old. In fact the
woodwork of some now in use is rot-
ten and the pans leaking. Should be
condemnedf'
“2. From your past experience from
personal observation of late years.
do you consider the cans used by
patrons to deliver milk to the cheese
factories are up to the standard they
were when the business started?"
Mr. BIFFEN: No. When the business
started here( everything was new. In
a‘number of the factories there are too
many old cans used t‘hat should be
condemned.
"Mr. Spiliett: No. Of _course when
drirying started here the cans were
a l _{>raetice.lly_new, some of which are
stil in use over twenty years. N ti

Pasl Year, and
The annual meeting of the Char-
lottetown Itetail Merchant’s Associa-
tion was held last night ill thc Board
of Trade rooms, the i’l°esidcnt Mr. S.
A. Macdonald in tile chair. Others
present were Messrs James Patoli, M.

det, (Seci'etery,) J. P. Gor oil, M. Mc-
Leod and W. A. Peilrdon.
The millutes of the previous meeting
were read and adopted.
Tile President read' the report of
the executive reviewing what the As-
sociation accomplished in the past year
and this report showed that conside-
rable success had rewarded their ef-
forts. It was pointed out that tllere
is ilot a. city in Canada where goods
are retaiied at a closer margin than
Charlottetown. This fact has been
brought about largely by nearly all the
leading stores adopting the “One
Price” system-a system adopted by
the retail trade im all parts of the civi-
lized world. The success of "Dollar
Day,” the picnic in July last, and the
donation of $2,000 by the Association
for field guns for the Canadian troops
and the hiring of special trains on a
number of occassions were among tllc
subjects touched on.
Tile report was adopted.
The financial report was then reall
by the Secretary and showed a small
balance on hand.
This report was also adopted.
Mr. R. H. Jenkins, seconded by Mr.
L. J. Redilin. moved that the Associa-
tion witlldraw from the Deminioli Re-
tail Association-and form a local asso-
clation.
I The motion was carried unanimous-
Y- `
It was decided that the body be
named the Retail Merchants Associa-
tion of Cllarlottetown.
Membership fee was fixed at $3 per
year.
Tile officials shall consist of :l Pro-
sident. Vice-President and Treasurer.
Officials are to be elected by bal-
lot. i
The Executive shall consist of one
member of each branch of thc retail
trade.
