are butter tubs and, the c%ornices OF tubs
and bottles. The entire structure has been
built OF goods that are most used by dairy
men. and the appearance Is unique. as well
as attractive. The host OF the dairy house
is A.. w. Rockwell. who receives dairymen
and others in a most gracious manner.
within are found nearly all the supplies that
are needed in creameries and cheese
factories. a new cream separator, called
the Imperial Russian. attracts considerable"
attention. A combined churn and butter
worker that takes 600 pounds at a time
occupies a prominent position.
The Sharples company furnishes the
power for the building, the boiler and
engine being in charge Of NJ. Palmer. The
refrigerating machinery is exhibited by A.
II. Barber Of Chicago. II cools the butter
house. which occupies the south end OF the
building, keeping the temperature between
80 and 40 degrees. This Is in charge Of
Manager Harp.
Within the butter house are some samples
OF good Nebraska butter. They may be
seen through glass fronts. \ number OF
the butter exhibits are tastefully arranged,
but many have been placed in the lover
part of the butter house to await their
testing time.
BUTTER AND BUTTER MACHINERY.
In the center OF the butter house is an
artistic display by the West Point com
pany. Rolls and prints are here attractively
shown, being surrounded by well-arranged
cut flowers. Adjoining is a display OF goods
used in this line of business. Bottled milk,
transportation cases for milk and delivery
baskets for milk are exhibited. Great guam
titles of butter is there solidly oncased In
tubs of various sizes; the creamery butter
Is all in tubs. There is also considerable
print butter, most of the prints being a
pound in weight; this is the dairy butter.
All the butter has a color and a general
appearance that indicates that Nebraska
does not take a back seat in the dairy
wagon.
On the opposite side of the hall. similarly
encased, is the cheese exhibit. The "Ched-
dar' cheese of fifty pounds each, and the
Young America weighing nine and ten
pounds each, are noticeable. V. Cladek Of
Dunlap, la. has an especially fine exhibit
of cheese. Among the other prominent
exhibitors in this line are: 4. Stanton,
College Springs, Ia, and l.. e. Webster,
Wescott. Neb.
In one corner Of the Sharples exhibit is
a display Of butter colorings by the Wells
Richardson company of Burlington, VT. In
this SAINT section is also a lot OF graduated
bottles, glass testing jars and other forms
OF glassware used in making tests.
The DeLaval Separator company Of New
York, with western headquarters at Elgin,
Ill, makes a good exhibit of its line of sep
arators. They range in capacity from $50
pounds per hour to 700 poinds per hour.
Capacity means separating capacity per
hour. All these machines exhibited by

while those of the Sharplss company are
operated by steam power. The exhibit is in
charge of Manager Randall.
HERE IS BREAD o THE BUTTER.
The United States separator is exhibited by
the Vermont Farm Machine company Of Bel
lows Falls, VT. The BabCock tester is also
shown. The exhibit is in charge of Man
ager Wilson. The Cooley creamer is also
displayed here.
On the north side of the building. adjoining
the exhibit OF cheese, is a great quantity Of
home made bread and cake. It has an es-
pecial attraction for the small boy and his
sister companion. 1t may be a good thing
that the cakes are all back Of heavy glass
windows, for the appearance OF this line of
goods Is certainly inviting. 1t would re-
quire several columns to describe each In
divldual exhibit contained in this big case,
and one could probably not do Justice to the
products of the Nebraska kitchens then
unless he were to be convinced OF the deli
Cious taste.
The educational department of the dairy
is under the direction of T.. l.. Lyon, pro-
lessor Of agriculture in the State university.
He Is assisted by r. S. Hiltner and f. G.
Elliott, also of the agricultural department
of the Lincoln Institution. Every hour
throughout the day a demonstration of milk
testing is given. instruction in the han
ding and ri2ening of cream, and in churning,
washing, sailing, working, printing. color
ing, Judging and packing OF butter, a brief
synopsis of the university course, is given.
The use and advantages of the Babcock
milk tester are explained at length. Only
four persons are admitted to these demon
STATIONS In order that each pupil may
receive the full benefit Of the instruction.
The demonstrations last about an hour. a
large number OF dairymen were on hand
this morning. and patiently waited for their
turn to attend the school to come around.
As a rule the pupils are owners Of small
herds of dairy cattle. They have generally
heard of milk testing. but never before have
had an opportunity to learn of the processes
in detail. At 3 o'clock instruction in stock
Judging will be given. The first lecture was
delivered yesterday afternoon. and will be
given at 3 o'clock on each succeeding day of
