he Undersigned committee, appointed ny
the American Dairymen's Association
would respectfully suggest to the Dairymen
Of the country that. inasmuch as efforts are
being made for an honorable representation
of all the great industrial interests of the
country. agricultural as well as others, at the
approaching Centennial Exhibition, it is fit
ting that the dairy interest should occupy
a prominent place ON that occasion, rs il is
second to no other rural industry, aud that,
from the near approach of that exhibition,
immediate action is necessary.
The care OF dairy products at the exhibit
ton has been entrusted, by the association
we represent, to us as its committee, and in
consequence we have completed arrange
ments with the Centennial Commission for
ample space in the Agricultural Hall for that
class of products, and we now ask the
dairymen and women and the dairy asso-
Citations of every state and territory in the
Union, to make and forward the best speci-
mems of their art to fill it. 1t is especially
desired that bdier a1id cheese, IN every
variety of style aud form manufactured in
the country, should have its duplicates on
exhibition.
We ask you to contribute literally of your
goods, and we assure you that when placed
in our custody they will receive proper at
teution aud at the close OF the exhibition
will be at the disposal of the exhibitor, or
be sold if desired and the proceeds properly
forwarded.
We are gratified to announce that in this,
as in every other worthy object we have
the active cooperation of the butter and
cheese exchange Of New York, whose mem
bers kindly offer to exhibitors, in case sales are
desired, every facility they possess for the adj
vantageous disposition of their entries, while
the Philadelphia produce exchange will also,
doubtless lend every assistance in its power,
The exposition will be opend to the pub
lie on the 10th of May, 1876, and it is inn
portant that all articles for exhibition be in
their appropriate places at that time.
The necessary directions for forwarding
will be announced in proper season.
We ask the officers of all dairying associa-
tions and boards of tradei in the various states,
that they call the attention of their members
TO the contents of this circular, and assist in
the collection and forwarding of articles for
exhibition.
All parties who propose to contribute will
confer favor by corresponding at once with
some member of the committee, stating ex-
plicitly the kind of goods and number OF
packages proposed TO be exhibited, and the

All parties will exhibit under their own
names, as this committee assumes only the
| care and disposition of their entries.
We are not as yet able to announce the
character of the prizes il is the intention of
/ the commission to award in this depart.
mcnt but thiswe look upon as a matter of
secondary consideration, for we believe indie
pendently of all this, every American dairy.
man must take national pride in having
this department fully and satisfactorily rep
resented.
In the arrangement of articles It is the in
| tention TO classify the entries of each state
| 10y Itself, and those Of each county, in the
same manner, when practicable, so that each
state and county may be distinctive
We would further suggest that in those
localities where volunteers are difficult TO be
| found that associations or boards of trade
select those who are to make representations
for their respective districts or counties.
II is confidently believed that such an ex-
hibition of our dairy products as this oppor-
tunity affords, will accomplish wonderful re-
suits in the matter OF increasing the con
sumption of cheese IN this country, while II
must have most beneficial effect upon the
demand from other countries, the repre-
sentatives of which will be here in large
numbers The end and aim should be to
impress every beholder with the excellence
of our dairy products.
