readers TO need further note. Next came
the Cooley creamers of the Vermont Farm
Machine Co., Bellows Falls, of which they
had ten on exhibition. This creamery is
the pioneer in cabinet deep setting and in
entirely covering and sealing the milk
with water. They have added to their
dreamer "A new and most excellent device
for lowering or raising the cans in the
tank. This consists of a platform ON which
the cans sit which is attached by chains at
the corners to small shafts on the sides
and by means of crank the platform and
cans are raised and the milk can be run of
through the faucets without lifting or
moving the can. They had besides cream
ers the Davis swing churn, the Eureka
butter worker, and their evaporator $50 ia
miliar to tirst-class sugar makers in YER
monD which was set in IN arch all COM
! pletc, with feeder, etc, and which attracted
much attention. Next came the " Perfec-
ton " creamery of d. b. Wooster, Marsh
field, shown by NJ. d. Chaplin, Poultney.
Mr.. Wooster's theory is that only the
upper portion Of the milk should be cooled
and his cans are fixed in the cabinet
with their upper half only surrounded by
water while the lower half hangs in the
lower portion of the cabinet, and subject
to the atmospheric temperature there pre-
vaifng. His cans have ventilators in the
covers and an illuminated faucet ut the
bottom through which the milk and cream
are drawn.
Mosyley & Stoddard, Poultnoy, show
four OF Moscleys cabinet creamcres, one
of which the fair is using in its dairy.
They also show Surprise churn, the
Champion butter worker and the Pyra-
midal straincr, which we have used for a
year past, and found it Il most capital
thing, Moseicys creamcr differs from
the others named in this that the lower
half Of the cans are surrounded by larger
cans, the point being the surrounding of
the milk with u less body of water and
taking less ice than where larger amount
Of water is used. They are the first, as we
believe, to surround 4 can with water, and
at the same time have it removable, and
draw the milk from the bottom without
moving the can. These cans are not GOV.
cred with water and have, we believe,
ventiating covers,
Perhaps tie excitement of the fair was
connected with the Surprise churn and
one other, the Wonderful churn," of
Minneapolis, MINI. This churn (the
Wonderfully was cylindrical in form with a
shaft running through the center which
had lG arms or small paddles projecting
from it at intervals The exhibitor was
by no means modest in claiming merit for
his dcurn, and one day u notice appeared
ola specia! premium Of $50 offered by John
Stewart of Iowa for the best churn merits
to be determined by actual trial, though it
was understood that the cash came from
the proprietor of the Wonderful" lie
came up to Moscley & Stoddard's place
and said he " didn't come on here for
nothing, and he was going to Just churn
the legs off these d - d Yankees, and
he'd bet ten dollars they dare not enter
the trial. The money was put up and
they entered for trial and got the ten
dollars. The proper amount o! cream was
secured, carefully mixed and separated by
measure. and then they went at churning,
Master Cyrus i. Gates engineered the
" Surprise" and a surprise it proved TO
Mr.. "Wonderful man, for after AZ min
utcs churning Master Gates began to draw
off the buttermilk, and the other about as
soon. When it was sailed and weighed
the Surprise had 3lths ozs. the most butter.
Mr.. Wonderful concluded there had been
some mistake and brought back his butter
milk, strained it through sieve and GOT
quite Il little mass Ct fine ungathered
butter which, we believe, was finally
allowed to be added to what he had
secured before, but then after working
the Surprise had .! ozs the most, and S,
took the premium and the $50. The Sur
prise is a barrel churn revolving cndwise,
with an ingenious device for putting in
and fastening one head.
Buffers creamer comes next in the
north aisle. This is so arranged that the
cans when in position are surrounded by
water and running water may be used, or
they may stand in air and be covered by
ice in the chamber above. The cans
have u funnel-shaped glass bottom so all
sediment must deposit in the faucet and be
first drawn OF.
The Ccntrifuge was on exhibit, which is
Il vertical iron cylinder which revolves
about 1000 or 2500 times II minute. Into
his the milk is run in a small stream and
on the theory that cream will be thrown
10 the top being the highest, there is an
arrangement for conducting it to recep-
tace and the skim milk to another. A
friend having one in use says ii has not
yet proved satisfactory,that kind of green
slime forms when the milk stands short
time, and that neither milk or cream will
keep long, bat have to be disposed of at
once.
Another Vermont entry was the Tink-
ham butter packages from Pope & Watson,
Burlington, which mot general commend
alton.
There are some fine herds Of cattle on
exhibition. At the entrance, on the right,
are "a selection Of Dutch (so-called Hol-
stein) cows and bull, from the herd of
Mr.. Nelson. of New Jersey; on the left,
some jersey cows shown by DR.. Newell
and Mr.. holly, also Of New Jersey. Mr.
Crozier, Of Long Island exhibits, at the
other end of the hall, so heal of Jerseys.
