| TIE ROYAL DAIRY IN ENGLAND.
'sBurleish" writes to the Boston journal an ao-
count of his visit to Prince Alberts model farm at
Frogmore:
Frogmore is within the Royal Park at Windsor
The palace is plain country residence, with moth
ing to distinguish it from thousand others in
England. The sight is superb and the surround.
ings interesting Not far from the mansion is the
mausoleum of the Prince Consort-a tall, square,
brick tower with pointed roof No one is allowed
to visit the tomb except on the anniversary Of the
Princes death. Then the trades-people Of Windsor
are allowed to visit the shrine. The common peo'
pie loved the Prince very much and they had rea-
son to, for he was kind master. In portion OF
the royal grounds Prince Albert laid out his model
farm He erected superb buildings and introduced
all modern improvements, tried all modern expert
ments and gave the country the benefit OF bis ex-
perience. When the sharp eye and vigilant hand
of the Prince lay cold in death, the beauty Of the
farm began to decline, was there on Thursday,
and the stiffness of Pompei reigns over the place
The exquistely arranged quadrangular buildings
were deserted One side, where the ffty-one dairy
COWS are kept, was in prime order. The rest show
ed neglect A few pigs sporting in pen exhibited
all the life to be seen on the farm.
The royal dairy alone remains in active use.
The building occupied as dairy resembles alodge
at the gate of palace The interior is exqusitely
fitted up The walls and floor are of the finest china
The royal arms and medallion likenesses Of the
entire royal family surround the room. Fountains
play, and ingenious arrangements have been made
for ventilation and to keep the temperature even
at all times of the day and all seasons of the year.
The presiding genius of this establishment is q
Welch woman, scrupulously neat, in the peculiar
garb of her country the conspicuous part Of which
was low-crowned peculiar-shaped hat. The milk
used on the royal table at the Castle and in London
is obtained from this dairy. The pans about fifty
in number are Of china and of peculiar shape,
made from models furnished by Prince Albert
The milk from the twelve Alderney cows ID kept
by itself for the Queens special use. From this
the butter is made that is placed on the royal table
It follows the Queen wherever she goes. Daily the
couriers from Downing street start with their box
of dispatches for Osborn, Balmoral, London, or
wherever her Majesty may be. Just as regularly
starts the messenger with the royal butter to find
the Queen. At Osborn and Balmoral the Queen
has her own dairy for milk, but the butter she
must have from Frogmore. I saw rolls Of golden
butter ready to be sent of. Itwss very tempting
to the eye and sweet 10 the tooth. The churn used
at Frogmore is metallic one, in shape like bar
rel, and rotary. Pans, pals and cans all bore the
royal monogram-"V. R." The dairy is called
the modern dairy. But no one without royal
revenue could afford such an arrangement Con-
spicuous in the room, in gold letters, is the an.
nouncement that the dairy was constructed by
Prince Albert in the twenty first year Of her Maj
