NEW YORK, June 5.--Take Jon- esco, the former Rumanlan minister of state, was interviewed by 3 gg,-_ respondent of the Corriere d lla Sera oi' Milan, on May 23rd, the Elay after: ll-My declared war on Austria. and said that two things, and only two, preyented Roumania, Bulgaria. and Greece from joining in the conflict; on the sideof the entente powers-these were the lack of ammunition and the fact that Greece still held oi'f~ from _granting certain territory to Bul. garis; He said: ' "Greece and Bulgaria would proba. bly come to an agreement if only the other obstacle could be overcome. All the Balkan states have placed huge orders for ammunition abroad, parti- cularly in America. but Russia. Franca and England appear to have contract- ed for everything in sight, Serbia alone seems to be in a position to sc- cure ammunition, and even some or that has been sent back to Russia.” It is believed in Rome that a mili- tary agreement was arrived at be- tween Roumania and Bulgaria on May 6th, which would be preliminary to a formal political alliance. According to a Solinlki despatch to the Gazette of Turin on that date, this agreement makes it obligatory i'or iloumania and Bulgaria to support each other in case of war. When the scheme of a new Balkan league, under the protection of Italy, fell through in April, owing to the re- fusal of Greece, without the i'ormal assurance oi' Bulgaria‘s neutrality, to place a landing force on thc Gallipoli peninsula, Great llrltain took a hand and the centre of the negotiations was transferred from Rome to London, but with what result it not yet known. In thc Balkan wars of 1912-13 the states were cnicfiy supplied with um- munition from Germany. Of course, this supply is now cut of‘l’, and the amount of artillery ammunition, par- ticularly tliut oi' high explosives. lo- cally msnufactured, is very small. Ac- cording to Take Jonesco and M. Ven- ivelos, the former premier of Greece. this country is the best prepared with ammunition, ami both thc stntesmen have declared that with every shot lodged on the Turkish forts of the Dardanelles by the Franco-English guns, the value of Iloumaninn, llul- garlun and Grecian intervention is diminished. The states, according to 'l`ako Jon- csco, realize this, and have their plans of campaign ah‘eady laid out, to be put into execution as soon as they have sufficient ammunition. Roumania will send a force into Bukowina, where it will co-operate with the Russians, although the first blow will be .struck in Eastern Tur- key, North oi' Constantinople, either by troops being transported thither under convoy of the Russian Black Sea fleet, or overland co-operating with the Bulgarians before Adria- nople, which has been denuded oi' its principal guns for the defense of Gal- lipoll. Greece would follow automatically, Take believes, "perhaps chiefly from the fear of being out of the winning team and suffering to the profit of the other Balkan states. As was formerly planned, Greece would reinforce the Franco-English armies at the Darda- nelles, or might conduct a campaign of her own on the Smyrna coast.” THE LOW COST OF WEDDING. Whcn public sympathy is being dis- tributed among victims of a current financial depression members oi' the clerical profession are rarely remem- bered, says an exchange. One thinks of them as the fortunate pos- sessors of fixed salaries, not likely to be affected by any occasional slumps in the general prosperity, but this estimate takes no account of the per- quisities that customarily fall to their lot and help substantially in ek- ing out what is too often a scanty in- come. One clergyman says he and his brethren have been hard hit by the increasing disposition of bride- grooms to hand out generous wedding fees. "Giving $5 and,usually $10 was the custom years ago, but now we are lucky if we get $1 for a marriage ceremony.” Particularly are ministers' wives to t e part of the brand new Benedict for they are the traditional recipients of these additional emoluments. Many B lJH\’B°l'lBSe piano or set of dining- room furniture has been purchased With the $5 and $10 bills that have found their way from the bashful bridegroom to the preachers pocket. Wlly are the fees so small today? It would’ seem not entirely accurate to blame the deficiency on business conditions, for the average young 1111111 who gets married has saved up enough cash to provide for immediate contingencies, while he also possesses a job. Indeed. the very fact of his marriage indicates confidence in his ability to' bear additional financial re- sponsibilities and shows that he at least is not worrying much about his future prosperity. lt is difficult to understand, therefore. why there should be a falling off in the size of wedding fees. If it is due to a feel- ing that the minister doesn't need the money, bridgerooms should get rid of this notion at once. It is clearly er- roneous. The demands on the preach- er's pocketbook were never more heavy and insistent than at present. There are enough would be bene- ficiaries to relieve him of his entire salary. He should not be regarded as a sort of automatic coupler, but treated as a professional laborer worthy of his hire. Don’t insult u minister with a one dollar marriage fee, even though you know he will be sufficiently polite to pocket the insult. WOMAN'S MISSIONARY CONFERENCE CLOSED. l_‘l~iA'l‘ilAM, N.

OTTAWA, June 5.- That the Gov- ernment in taking over the operation of the Transcontinental Railway is go- ing to adopt strictly business meth- ods and handle all the trafllc that can bc obtained going either east or west, is seen by the fact that arrangements are now being made for securing a large amount of rolling stock and oth- er equipment. With the good crop prospects in the West this year and the liklihood oi' an unusually large quantity of grain to be carried east- ward. Hon. Frank Cochrane has asked Hon W. T. White, Minister of Finance, for a. very considerable sum to pur- chase the necessary equipment. in spite of the difllculty of borrowing money just no\v, }Ion. \V. T. White consented. The Transcontinental will, therefore next fall provide largely in- creased facilities for transporting the crop, and the revenues of the road will be that much greater. it is un- derstood that a close agreement for exchange of traffic will be arranged between the Government and the G. T. P., with its eastern terminal now at Winnipeg.

Dean, CAMPBELLPORD, May 11-"At to- day's meeting oi' the Cheese Board, 440 cheese were boarded; all sold at 18 7-16 cents.” The foregoing dcs- patch, clipped i`rom the daily press of May 12th, tells tho whole story oi’ the revival of the cheese trade in Canada, so far as price goes. and price is a mighty big factor in any line of trade. It is not long since cheese sold so low as about seven* cents per pound wholesale. at which price farmers were producing milk ut a loss. In the early part of the last two seasons, 1913 and 1914, prices were ranging about 12 1-2 c, which was considered a good price for fodder and fodder grass stuff. When over six cents per lb. is added to 'the price paid during what we considered two fairly good seasons ln the cheese trade, we can readily understand that it has caused n move- ment among checsc-milk producers. manufacturers, and cheese buyers, such as is unprecedented in the trade. Farmers are securing all the cows possible. ill order to send large quan- tities of milk to the factory, consu- quently the price of cows has advanc- ed markedly this sprlng. at a time when there is usually a “sluinp." lint the increased amount ot' milk avail- able for cheese making cannot be very great, except. it is withdrawn from some other line of dairying, as cows Our Trade Steudily Declined for ten leurs---Then the Wur Come and High Priced. What iiliii Happen When the War is Ended. A Ontario Agricultural College, in the C learning the methods of making cheese. saw the business slip away from them, ami they were obliged to, go elsewhere or take up a new line. The town and city milk and cream trade. together with the creamery and the condensery, got the patronage formerly seen at the cheese factory, and the latter closed its doors or was turned into it crcnlncry. Now all this has changed. Factories once closed. are opening up again. New factories are being rushed to completion. so ns to be ready for tho opening ot' tho season. Factories life UDGDIHE earlier than usual and everybody is trying to produce as much cheese as possible while thc price is high. Wliut has caused all this change? Une word explains it all-War. Cheese is bi-ing largely used in thc army rations and the British -Govern- mcnt has bccn a heavy buyer ot' Can- adian cheese for some time. In fact, Canada has bccn unable to supply thc demand, and largc quantities of Am- erican cheese is being sent to Eur- ope through Montreal, as wcll as f'rom American ports. For the time being, thc Aint-riran export cheese trade. which was practically dead, is sharing in the revival started in Can- ada. So long as the war continues there is likely to be a good demand anadian Countryman.) cheese milk as to the methods of' cron- olnic and cleanly milk production. ln spite of all that has been said and# written on this question, the cost of milk-production la too high for rea- sonable profit and too much milk ds- llvered at cheese factories is not lo sweat and clean as it might and ought to be. Farmers must breed better cows-cows that will produce 8,000 to 10,000 lbs. ot' milk during a year or during the cheese factory season. Cheaper food must be provided in the form of corn silage all the year round to supplyemcnt the pastures. Pasture milk, except on cheap land, is expen- sive milk. So is milk produced by feeding farm grains. With oats at G00. to 650. per bushel and other grains in proportion, it requires a good cow and careful management, even at thu present high prlcc of cheese to show any profit on the milk so manufac- tured. (2) There is need of an educativc campaign among cheese factory own- ers and makers, in order to impress the fact that cheese is a substance used for human food. therefore needs to hc made from clean milk, in a clean place of manufacture, and every precaution should be taken that the food so made shall be clean, whole- some and nutritious. This involves getting after the. for Canadian cheese, which will stim-_ cannot be produced under from three milk producer and insisting upon re-Ii to live years’ time. There are prac- tically, no more cows in Canada this spring than there were last year when cheese was comparatively low in price, hence production cannot be greatly increased, except, as before stated. at the expense of some other branch of the dairying industry. In order to understand the drift of the Canadian cheese business it is necessary to go back to 1880, when our exports of cheese totalled in round numbers forty millions of pounds, worth a little under four mil- lions oi’ dollars. We thought we erc doin wonders at that time, bc date there were no cheese exports from Canada. and thc factory system and the expenditure of no small sum of money, partly provided by the Gov- ernment and partly by factories and private persons, the export trade in 1890 had reached over ninety-four mil- lion pounds, worth over nine million dollars. In other words, Canada had more than doubled her exports of cheecs during the decade from 1880 to 1890. During the next ten years again doubled, and the value had risen to just under twenty millions of dollars for the year 1900. But the top had not yet been I . Much of the best cheese made in Canada to-day is obtained from the milk of _ those hardy cows-the Ayrshires. . ulate prices, and it looks as if the cheese farmer in Canada will come into his own during the present year at least. Back of ,all this is thc fact readily recognized by the belligerent' powers, that cheese is a concentrated, health- ful food, especially well suited for army purposes, and it is very com- pact. does not readily spoil, is always ready for eating, requiring no prelim- inary cooking, and even at the pre- sent high prices is the cheapest con- centrated food which can be purchas- ed. At 20 cents per pound cheese, furnishes ovcr two and a half times w E ‘ cause fifteen years previous to thatimorc food value. as measured by cal- ories (hcat units), than does beef- sieak at 24 cents per pound. Cheese was just beginning to struggle into’is rclntively much cheaper than ment existence. By dint of pcrsevcrancelat present prices. in addition, this fact should be borne in mind-the protoin (muscle-forming) material in dair roducts, in all probability has y IJ - _‘ 'a higher food value than has proteul compouudsl' in any other class of foods. AFTER THE WAR-I-WHAT? Many are asking this question along several lines. As applied to cheese exports from Canada were lthe cheese trade, it would appear as if the export trade was likely to slacken again. It. will be imperative for the exhausted countries of Europe to re- pair their fortuues as rapidly as pos- i i The big milk producer In reached. Growth, howcvcr. was now slower. By 1904 we had reached our maximum in cheese exports. That year we sent, chiefly to Grout Britain 233,980,716 lbs., worth a little over twenty-four millions of dollars. In the previous year the production was not so great by about three million pounds, but the total value was $24.~ 712,943, which was the year of max- iimum value. From 1904 the exports began to decline. until ten years later; 1914 the exports of cheese had dwindled to 144,478,340 lbs., (nearly 100,00,000 lbs. less than in 1904), and the value was under nineteen million dollars. _ THE CHEESE TRADE SEEMED DOOMED Matters had now reached a crisis. it was seen that unless something un- usual happened, or extreme measures were taken. the export cheese trade would follow that of the United States and be a negligible quantity in a short time. ' Factories that formerly made I0 to 100 tons of cheese in a season, Ins half the usual quantity of goods. Men who had invested money in the business or who hadspont. years in More either closed or were not mak- the. big cheese producer. sible by stimulating home industries. and by importing as little as possible, especially of food stuffs. The de- mand is more likely to be for cows and breeding stock from Canada. than for the finished products such as cheese and butter, hence we may ex- pect to sec a lessening in the number of cows kept on Canadian farms and less cheese made at the close of the war. This means that we shall have to develop our home markets. It is not too early to begin layingplans for the development of a taste for good cheese among Canadian consumers. We may also consider those who will come to our shores as immigrants after the exhausting and dishearten- ing experiences in their homo land. Those who come to us 'from foreign countries. particularly those from Northam Europe. will have the advan- tage over the native bom Canadian- they already know the high nutritive vslue of cheese, and are likely to add very considerably to the demand for cheese-in our local markets. However, there is need for an edu- oational campaign slung three dis- tlnct. lines in order to maintain the present- satisfactory revival of the cheese trade: ~ (1) In educating the producer of cciving clean milk. No class oi' men can do so much along this line as can the cheesemaker, who comes in cou- tact daily with the milk producer or his representative the milk hauler. Government inspectors can do some- thing, but after all the burden of improved milk must be borne by the cheese maker or factory owner, who should at all times point out in a tact- ful way how the cleanliness and gen- eral quality of the milk can be im- proved. He ought also to set an ex- ample to his patrons at all times, in matters of neatness, tidiness, orderli- ness and cleanliness, about, and in tile factory. No bad smells or dirt in any form should be tolerated about the place where so delicate and valu- able a human food as cheese is mailn- factured. (3) The third point in connection with which education is needed, is among the consuming classes, more especially among those who buy food for thc family, which means, in most cases the housewife. The great mn- jority of people spend about half or more of their income on food.
