AS promised last week, we give to day
the Herdld's synopsis of the Presld 1nt's
address. The whole meeting was the
most enthusiastic and best attended ever
held. The exercises covered the three
days full to repletion. There was large
sprinkling of prominent dairy men from
the state of New York and New Hamp-
shire present, all of whom were surprls-
ed at the advance made by the Vermont
dairymen in the dairy business. These
gentlemen made number of valuable
suggestlors in regard to the creamery
business in their respective states and
these exchange of ideas were greatly ap'
preclated by ali present.
The programme published recently
was fully carried out. The most remark
able feature, however, of the last days
morning exercises was the experiment
made by the United States Butter Elk
tractor Company of New York city OF
their new machine in the extraction OF
butter from milk only few minute'
old. The experiment proved to be I
great success, besides beng wonder

The speaker of The morning session
was H. X Stoyton of Manchester ID
and he made comprehensive mention
of dairy exhibits and marketing OF dair!
products, His speech was received witt
great enthusiasm, he having brought be
fore the MEETING the practical manne
IN which to make exhibits, and account
ed for the success aud failure of tn
same; also the great possibility that lie
before the New York and New Eaglan,
dairymen in the foreign market for thei
products. By having live man sta
tione d at L verpool, England, the farme
of this country could find ready market
for his productions. He said we Amer
