Tho KlnnB havo been exporting butter but-ter to England for somo yearB and bavo built up n pretty good trado there. Iluttcr Is one of tho principal articles of export of that cold country. coun-try. Tho Finns havo found hard competitors com-petitors In tho Danes, but havo man-nged man-nged to Biirvlto tho competition. Now, however, come the Siberians and with tho help of tho Russian government bigln o make great inroads on tho English market nnd to crowd out the Finnish butter. Tho Finnish sonate has taken up tho matter and evidently proposes to make a national Ishuo out of It, Tho senate has determined to build at government expense three f;st steamers equipped with refrigerators refriger-ators and constructed to enrry large quantities of butter. These steamers will Bail from Ilango, the southernmost southern-most port of Finland, and mako tho trip to England In four or five days. Tho IlusBlan government has Introduced Intro-duced governmental aid In tho export butter trado or tho Siberians and tho Finns will go tho Knsslans a llttlo bettor. bet-tor. It will bo Interesting to note the outcome of this rivalry. Dairying In Cuba. A government report on the dairy conditions existing In Cuba says: Cows from tho states uro often seen in (hirles near tho larger cities. Somo of them do well and some do not. A tew Importers havo mado tho serious mistake of taking cows to Cuba from tho northern states nnd they havo suffered heavy losses on this account. A wealthy planter took to southern Cuba fifteen cows, which ho said had cost $1E(j each In New York, and $50 each for transportation. Soon after their arrival ten of them died of Texas fovcr. When northern cows aro confined and carefully fed and tared for, they usually remain healthy, but ns soon as they aro put m posture or neglected they nro in great danger of oxposuro to the ticks anil to Texas fever. During tho war, American cattlo wero kept about a year In Santiago (their milk sometimes some-times belling as high aR a dollar a Bllon). Thoy wero fed hay and grain from tho North. It Is reported that somo of them died, but tho calves usually did well. To3 Much Unripe Cheese. Too much unripe checso Is being sent to market. Not only Is tho looal market at this tlino of year full of unripe un-ripe cheese, but largo quantities an; being cent abroad. This applies to i-hceso shipped from Canada ns well as from tho United States. Ilcent dispatches from England say that checso nrrlvlng there Is of too green a nature to sell well. Tho greatest obstacle ob-stacle to tho development of both tLo lorelgn and homo cheeso market is green chcoso. This subject has been discussed at about ocry checso makers" mak-ers" convention held, but nothing has been dono to prevent unrlpo checso from being put on tho market. It Is eWilent that one man holding back his cheese till It Is cured will not help the situation greatly. There must bo somo concorted movement to keep all nut properly ripened checso off the mnrket. If only first-class cheese could be put onto tho market its salo would bo enormously Increased within with-in a very tow years. Sklmmilk. Skinimllk properly utilized Is a Brett sourco of income to tho Atnerl-,l Atnerl-,l can farmer. Its value In tho country j is put down at not less than ?G0,000,- 000 yearly, a truly Immense sum. Yet much of it Is wasted. Could It be , , made tbo moBt of It would wipe out ' ! many a farm mortgage and lift the i financial burden from many shoulders. t It Is opo of tho dairy oldo-products i not yet appreciated.
