BUTTER, CHEESE, SQGAR AND HONEY. -^ 



The Committee appointed to examine ppeciniens of Butter, Cheese^ 

 Honey nnd Sugar offered for premium, respectfully report that they have 

 performed tliat duty, and refer to the following report for the list of pre- 

 iriuins awarded: 



In addition to the premiums, much praise if* justly due to all who 

 presented specimens of butter. Some very fine specimens were offer- 

 ed, but unfortunately, all could not draw premiums. It is a source of 

 gratification, that we have so many good butter makers among us, and 

 your Committee fee! quite confident that the time is not distant, when 

 Michigan butter will stand as high jisany made in the Union. 



The show of ^-heese was unusually large, and of excellent quality; 

 "each specimen deserving a premium, and your Committee regret that 

 preiniuins could not be so bestowed. 



We can make as good cheese in this State as can be produced any- 

 where, and your committee hope soon to see Michigan cheese take the 

 place in our market, to which it is entitled. Of honey, the show was 

 very beautiful and entitled to great praise. Also, the specimens of su- 

 gar offered were exc<'llent; the successful specimens particularly so.
