The Sudbury Dairy School. 



It is some four years since we were invited to attend at the 

 opening ceremony of the dairy school in connection with the 

 Sudbury factor}', belonging to Lord Yernon. The movement 

 was started under the direct advice of the late Mr Jenkins, and 

 a large number of the leading experts in dairy matters were 

 present. It was believed that the considerable work which was 

 performed at the factory would be of great value in showing 

 persons desirous of obtaining instruction, much that they 

 desired to know, more especially in the management of 

 separators, of the machinery of a large establishment, and of 

 practical batter and cheese making. It need scarcely be said 

 that in a case of this kind there is little theoretical instruction 

 except in the form of lectures which have been occasionally 

 given, and which for the current year are announced to be 

 given at 3 p.:m. on the second Tuesday of each month, as 

 follows: — 



1. Introduction to the course of lectures. 



2. The dairv homestead. 



3. The best dairy breeds. 



4. The cultivated grasses, including the management of grass 



land and hay-making. 



5. The system of feeding dairy cows. 



6. The chemistry of the dairy. 



7. Cream separation. 



8. Butter-making. 



9. Cheese-making. 



10. The marketing of produce. 



11. The pig — its relation to the dairy. 



12. A retrospective viev*^ of the year's proceedings. 



The pupils are allowed to remain for long or short terms : 

 they are required to pay a fee of £3 for the first month, £2 for 

 the second, and £1 for the third, but provide their own board and 

 lodging, which is secured for them by the officials of the factory. 

 It need hardly be stated that where so vast an amount of butter 

 and cheese is made there is much to learn, and that pupils have 

 the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the system of 

 factory management at the largest establishment of the kind in 

 this country. As the Sudbur}^ school was the first establish- 

 ment where pupils were taught in England, so it might be one 

 of the first schools under the regime which we have great 

 reason to hope for from the Government, with the advantages
