AWAEDS OF PEEMIUMS. 139 



There were a great variety of plows on exhibition, making it 

 difficult to decide on the relative merits of the different kinds as 

 they were all good, but the committee awarded a premium to E. 

 E. El a & Co., for the best variety. 



The Committee mention with high praise, as a plough for all 

 work, a steel plough with a wheel coulter, manufactured by 

 Hitchcock & Bro's., of Kenosha, commending particularly the 

 shape of the mould board, and recommending the diploma of the 

 Society, its highest premium. 



The plows by Winchester & De Wolf, of Whitewater, were 

 equal to Ela & Go's, except the breaking plow : 7.00 awarded.

STATEMENT OP MRS. J. L. ROSS. 



This butter was made by myself during the month of June. 

 We keep two cows ; pasture in the summer on cultivated grass. 

 Particular care is taken to keep all the vessels used sweet ; use 

 tin pans, and a stone churn. The milk is strained immediately 

 after milking ; the pans are rinsed with cold water in summer, 

 and hot in winter, before using. The milk is kept in a cool, 

 dry and airy place in summer, and warm in winter ; the cream 

 is carefully removed, as soon as the milk is sour, put in a 

 crock, and in very hot weather placed in the cellar. I churn 

 twice a week, and, if possible, have the churning done by one 

 individual, as the motion of different persons is not the same,
