SWINE.
The display in this class was, as usual, small,
but good. c. K Gray OF East Montpelier exhib-
tied several pens Of Poland Chnas and Berk-
shires; T. " Smith Of Stowe, F. p Willard Of
East Montpelier and J. W. Leonard OF Barre,
White Chesters. We happened to be around at
feeding time, and were greeted by the full orches-
ira and chorus Incontinently we dispersed after
very brief inspection OF the squealng crowd.
MECHANICS HALL.
The display Of
DAIRY APPARATUS,
notwithstanding the withdrawal Of premiums on
creamers and creameries, was no less full than
usual. The Cooley, Moseley and stoddard, Woos-
ter and Bureau creameries were all there, each
with all the latest improvements. The Cooley
apparatus, exhibited by the Vermont Farm Ma.
chine Company OF Bellows Falls, has some new
notifications especially in an improved elevator
for the cans, and modified conical bottom to
the cans Of their cabinet creameries, which is
claimed to throw ont all the sediment with the
milk The Moseley apparatus, Moseley & Stoddard
of Poultney, manufacturers, IL kept fully up to
the times by the energetic inventor; the Wooster,
made by NJ d. Chaplin Of Poultney, claims merits
of peculiar character and is doubtless an excel
lent thing; and the Bureau, pushed by the Fergu-
son Creamery Company OF Burlington, live con-
cern, has points that appreciated by those who
prefer shallow to deep setting.
oHuRSs AND BUTTER WORKERS.
Moseley and Stoddards barrel churn, the Empire
State Churn Company's churn from Ticonderoga,
New York; Ferguson's Conclusion Churn and
Ferguson's Butter Worker from Burlington;
Trow's Butter Working Churn, made by w. F.
Bradford Of Barre; The Davis Swing Churn Of
the Vermont Farm Machine Company; Power
Barrel Churn, made by Empire State Churn Com
pany Ticonderoga, New York; and II. A. Swee-
neys Improved Churn and Butter Worker, Mont
peer embrace we believe, all on exhibition, and
nybody who could not be suited among them is
too particular even for a dairyman.
BUrrER
The display Of butter was much smaller than
the one called out last year by the large special
premiums offered by the salt and creamery men
What was offered was generally of the finest
quality. E. W. Clark Of South Peacham, Israel
Wood of Barre, Star Creamery Company OF Barre,
George Eddy OF watsfeld, George A. Warren Of
Middlesex, and A. r. Town OF Waterbury, were
all the exhibitors noticed in this class.
Cheese was present in very small quantity also.
The regular premiums on dairy products do not
seem to be sufficient to draw out very lively
competition. Hildreth Brothers of Jonesville, S.
w. Hill OF East Montpelier, II H. Hollister OF
| Marshfield, and A. d. White Of Huntington were
the principal exhibitors. We had no opportunity
OF testing their goods.
CARL L. SMITHS DRIED BEEF,
exhibited by the manufacturer OF Montpelier, is
an article we take pleasure in commencing as al
ways first-class article.
| KENERsoN's BUTTER-sTAMP,
from Peacham, new method Of putting up fancy
prints shown for the first time last year, and now
greatly improved, il worthy the attention of
dairymen who are engaged in this branch Of the

never been threshed), was exhibited by the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Company

of Potsdam, New York.
| BUTTER PALS AND BOXES,
wood plates and trays, made Of veneer, by G. W.
Bradley of Sunderland These packages for
butter seem to us to be both cheap and good.
They are prepared with paraflne, 30 as not to
need soaking with brine, at an extra cost of
cent per pound, II desired by the purchaser.
ORNAMENTAL CORNER BRACES
for window and door screens, by T. n. Porter OF
Morrisville are one OF the neatest and most con-
venient little inventions shown, and will come
into general use. They do away with all NOR
tises and lemons, and entirely prevent sagging or
twisting out Of shape With these any one with
the slightest mechanical skill can make his own
screens, better and handsomer than boughten
ones.
ROLLING PINS,

Barnet.
