than any previous one. 1t has been a drug
on the maiket--large amounts of it accu-

not be sold. 1t thus Injuries the sale of all
grades of cheese. As to the best cows for

II. Hawley, president of the United cen
tennial commission, urging Vermont dairy
men not to be behind in the exhibition of
their products a., .ar
Mr. A. f.. Ellsworth of Massachusetts,
said that as dairymen we must sustain the
reputation Of the state as cheese makers.
Prof Arnold of Rochester, who is secre-
tary OF the American Association, said he
was reliably informed that large display
would be made by foreign countries of
dairy products, and II would be unfortun-
ate If we could not make creditable dis
play on American soil, while our neighbors
come so far to compete. Between cheese
and butter making the transition was easy,
and when either product presented the adj
vantage Of greater profit the milk could be
used in that particular manufacture. It
was easy to keep up the expectation Of
cheese. On the exhibition grounds there
templated manufacture and its products
The cost would be individually too great,
and the American association had, there
fore, undertaken to raise 81 10000. At one
meeting of that association s 900 was sub
scribed. The 250 cheese factories IN the
country will be allowed 10 subscribe. 1t
was designed to collect a pyramid of 500
cheese, these to be sold and the profits re-
turned to the dairymen. If more money
should be appropriated than is needed it is
proposed to make it into special premiums
for dairy products.

sizes would be required, to which Mr.

weigh cheese by the load. [Laughter.l
DR.. Middleton Goldsmith, state commits
sioner for the exposition, gave clear ides
of the advantages the dairymen of Yer
mont would derive from being well repre-
sented at Philadelphia. The leather in
terest alone had raised $4,000 for exhib
ton purposes. The sheep breeders ant
tanners had reason to know by experience
the substantial benefits resulting from ex
hbiting their products. He stated that a

acres under glass at the fair grounds. Now
there were seventy acres built up, and be
fore the buildings were completed at leas

trade has appropriated $1,000 for specia
premiums for dairy products.

raise $780, in New York alone.
