At inter national exhibitions, too, their cheese manufacturers hive always come oil' with their 1 full shave of honours received in competition with the wotld. '' The' interests' of the dairying industiy are carefully fosteicd and looked after bv, two incoiporated dairymen's associations ,iv the eastern and western sections of the province respectively, and u-gulai cheese markets arc established at various points >f the dairying distiiots in both sections.
