as even, and excellent lot as We ever saw
10 cattle ring, and with the four of Mr.
Reyes must have given the judges somt
business. This breed show very remarkable
milking points and their yields are said to be
something wonderful, reaching as high as &C
to 10 pounds IF milk per day, being MIXED
three times rcr day. They are large in
frame, apparently heavy feeders, with large,
round barrel black and white in color, and
must make good beef when fattened.
Gov. Smith took LIST and I'd on COW
while Mr.. Reyes took 1st en- old bulls,
and Governor Smith took Is, on 2-year
olds. The prizes on the remaining young
stock were very evenly distributed between

traits OF this breed were noted yesterday,
Dairy Implements.
The exhibit of dairy implements is not
large. AS one enters mechanics Hail." the
Ferguson Bureau Creamery" meets the eye
and several styles of this celebrated product
of Burlington enterprise arc on exhibition,
and also the Ferguson conclusion cburn."
The writer noticed at the New England
fair last week, in the description of the
method of manufacture of the butter which
took the first prize, that the milk was set in
a Ferguson bureau and churned in a Fergu-
son churn.
Another well known concern is the Yer
mont Farm Machine Co., Bellows Falls,
who exhibit several styles of the Cooley
creamer," which is perhaps the leading sys-
tenn of deep cold setting for milk ia the
country.
They also exhibited the Eureka butter
worker, the Davis swing churn, and n
Pneumatic fruit dryer, first shown this year
Ii. NJ. Tomlnson of Shelburn shows a
combination milk and cheese vat intended
for use when milk is set 10 hours, skinned
milk and the next milking put in and cheese
made from the mixed messcs.
The Whipple rectangular churn "a square
hoz, hung on pinions placed at opposite cor
ners) attracted considerable attraction.
The exhibit of butter and cheese is about
onc-teuth Of what it should be, 10 packages
Of butter and II Of cheese.
In both classes for exhibition only arc pro.
ducts of the Powell manufacturing company s
new Vacuum process OF treating milk, which
we shall investigate and report upon. No
names being on the packages in this depart
ment the exhibitors, names could not be as
certained.
An apparatus for which little use will be
found this year is the Eureka steam fruit
evaporator, series of steam heated shelves
arranged on vertical tube leading from a
boiler.
The show of maple sugar and syrup is
small and AS would be expected from the
poor season last spiipg is of an inferior quail
ity.
or fruit the display is very meagre. G.
Miller IL Son, POmfret, have small but
good exhibit.

Machinery Hall
contains ample room for about five times til,
number of exhibitors, but the display is.inter
