Norwegian Milk.

I find by reference to official Norwegian statistics that the price of condensed milk in Norway has fallen from 0.90 crown (10.65d.) in 1882 to 0.75 crown (9¾d.) in 1886 per kilogramme. Some idea of the quality of Norwegian milk may be obtained from the following figures, which were kindly sent me by Mr. Tobiesen, one of the chief Government officials in agricultural matters. Upon one farm the milk varied in quantity from 10,800 litres in July to 27,100 litres in May. The lowest quantity of milk required to make a pound of butter was 22.59lb. in October, and the highest quantity was 26-20lb. in August. In another case the page 33 average ratio was 24.77lb.; in September it took 21.52lb., and in December 26.92lb.
