agement of butter dairy, by Mrs. j. Il.

same subject by Mrs. j. p. Gibson, who
also presented an essay on the management
of cheese dairy, but rs no specimen of
her handiwork accompanied the entry, the
essay is not entitled to an award. SO the
labors of your committee were confined TO

animation they are unanimous in
making the following award To

The sample of butter which accompanied
the essay was of excellent quality, bright
clear sweet ard sound, and fully worthy
to represent the practice advocated by the
writer. And your committee would beg leave
to be allowed to step aside from their special
duty and the usual beaten course to con-
graduate lot only the donors of the prizes
which tend to bring out such essays, but
also to congratulate the Vermont dairy

tons for the great amount of valuable
agricultural literature they are adding to

ON DAIRY AND AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
Your committee appointed to examine
and report on the dairy and agricultural
implements exhibited at this meeting of
the association have made their examina-
ton and submit the following report.
The committee after carefully inspecting
the improvements do not deem it lust to
express any preference between exhibitors
but propose to call attention to some of the
apparent advantages of each and leave the
judgment to the dairymen of the state who
are always ready to give a trial to any i'm
provement that offers to lessen their labor
or increase the quantity or quality of their
product.
The Glt-edge milk pan and cooler, man
ufactured by Dunn e Cramton of Rutland,
and exhibited by Mrs. J. p Gibson of Mt.
Holly, can be used with or without II
steam attachment has the appearance of
being both valuable and practical.
Smiths patent conducting milk pan and
cooler claims an advantage from cooling
the milk near the surface. Is so formed
that the milk all flows out of the pan upon
opening the outlet, lessening the labor of
cleaning the pan.
These pipes can also be used for heating,
and the arrangement seems cheap and du-
rable.
The McEwan and Gibson patent tubular
milk pan has merit, and Is worthy of a
trial by butter makers.

Vermont, exhibited some tinware of supe-
rlor quality; also, syphon with improved
