THE DAIEY. 



This is destined to be an important branch of industry in this Coun- 

 ty. Already we believe the butter made here is of the very best qtali- 



' ty, and is not excelled by that of any other County in the State. The 

 samples presented at the recent Fail- Avould be pronounced in the east- 



■ em markets equal to the best made in the older States. But why is 

 the manufacture of cheese so much neglected ? This mostly comes from 

 Buffalo, and is made at Hamburgh, near that city. This should not be 

 the case in such a County as Monroe. The Committee on the products 

 of the dairy, or those of them who acted, awarded premiums as follows : 



Mrs. H. Chittenden, butter, $2 00 



Mrs. L. Sackett, « 1 75 



Mrs. G. Graham, " 1 50 



Mrs. Doty, " 1 25 



Mrs. Knight, « 1 00 



GRAIN, FRUIT, AND VEGETABLES. 



The undersigned Committee, awarded as follows :
