AMERICAN INSTITUTE, New York City. Dec II,
1Ss9.-The exhibits of dairy products are in,
neense in every conceivable shape and FORM
from the milking of the COW to the manufacture
ing OF jewelry Gan imitation of coraD from the
milk. The exhibits are estimated in value at
over $500, 600 There are cheeSeS that weigh
over one ton. Cheese and butter factories are
in full blast. The foreign exhibits are very fine
from all parts of the civilized dairy world. The
machine for separating cream from milk, in
stantly, is the principal attraction. The milk is
poured IN receptacle, and Immediately the
skim-milk runs out one opening and the
cream out the other. There is a pyramid Of
cheese 35 feet high. Ashton, the English salt
house, is represented by a pyramid OF salt that
weighs 100 tons. Your humble servant has the
foreigners by the neck in his particular class,
milk wagon and can) and front seat among
the Americans. Parties who were at the Lon
don, (Eng.) dairy fair last month, say that this
is far ahead of it in attractions and manage
ment. The institute Is Illuminated by four
electric lights that make the exhibits show to
advantage. Next week will be the best time
for Westinghouse to visit the fair, as then the
wire edge will be worn off, and all the exhibits
located. Space for exhibits sold for 29c. per
square foot, and not enough OF that. George
oyster, ST., of Washington, will address the

Butter in cities" / saw GOV. A. r. Shepherd
and ex-Commissioner Phelps here to-day.
The exhibits of cattle are very fine, with
