Gentlemen— I take great pleasure in submitting my annual report of the 

 condition of my department. 



I also wish to acknowledge the appreciation of exhibitors, as well as super- 

 intendent and help, of the better accommodations allowed for caring for 

 exhibits. The entrance as well as exhibits are increasing. 



The dairy department was filled to limit of one space with an especially 

 fine exhibit of butter and cheese. The ornamental designs in butter far ex- 

 celled any previous exhibit.
