BUTTER AND CHEESE

anu WnlLe, ana contained a dozen
or more samples of dairy butter,
and nice selection of Milbank
creamery butter, with a sample
of the butter in granulated form
Some nice looking cheese was
also in this booth.
The first premium on home
made cheese was awarded to
James Mcdowell, one of the old
time settlers in Osceola. We
had the pleasure sampling the
cheese, and found that it just
touched the right spot in the
editorial digestive apparatus,
and was labelled No. /. Mr..
Mcdowell expects to put in an
improved press at his farm and
make cheese manufacturing an
important part of his work. He
certainly understands the busi-
ness and could find a ready mar
ket for all he can make of the
same quality as that on exhibition
here.
