Pastures may be expected to bcnelil from the warm weather and warm rains of the pail lew davs. and the output of milk may therefore be belter maintained. But in spite of this prospect there seems to be no reasonable likelihood of there being an iniiiMial abitnda.ice of stored butler this winter, Apparently the interest of suppliers may be best served by stopping exportation and holding oil to supplies, lor the local luarkei. The tendency ei the dairying districts to move over to the chce.se industry and make less biiller must be considered in estimating the possible .supplies of the future. To some extent, no doubt, the advance of home separation will check (lie drift towards chee.si'niaking. for home separation is possible in butter-making, but not, of loune, in the making of cheese. But that oll'cct is not yet apparent, and the change from butler to cheese is now as vigorous a,' ever it was. The low British prices of butler will stimulate the movement.
