170 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



the British Dairy Show at London, in October last, is stated 

 to have been "the favorite with the visitors, of all the 

 American churns exhibited." The Eureka Butter-Worker 

 is all wood, simple, and easy to manage : it received a 

 special diploma at the International Fair; and the judges 

 reported it " the best worker shown, in the hands of a dis- 

 creet butter-maker." 



Messrs. Moseley and Stoddard exhibited several articles 

 from their " New-England Dairy Supply Depot." More's 

 Pryamidal Milk-Strainer needs only to be seen to be appre- 

 ciated : it is certainly one of the most valuable of the recent 

 additions to dairy utensils. The Surprise Churn has also 

 hosts of friends, and was apparently a special favorite at 

 this show. The cabinet creamery is a very compact, handy 

 appliance for deep setting at low temperature, arranged for 

 great economy of water and ice. This new invention won 

 the highest prize at the last New-England Fair, and is favora- 

 bly received wherever shown. 



Mr. Van Patten represented both the Ferguson Bureau 

 Creamery, and the celebrated Perfected Butter-Color of 

 "Wells, Richardson, & Co. The latter needs only to be men- 

 tioned : it undoubtedly has a far larger sale than any other 

 article of its kind, in England as well as in America. The 

 Bureau Creamery is a comparatively new contrivance, but 

 is attracting much attention on account of its simplicity, 

 economy of labor, adaptability to the use of either air or 

 water in regulating the temperature, and its adherence to 

 the old plan of shallow setting, in which most butter-makers 

 in New England still believe. The exhibiter justly exulted 

 over the fact that every one of the principal premiums at 

 this State show was awarded to butter made on the shallow- 

 pan system. 



From Peacham, Vt., were sent, by Mr. J. R. Kinerson, a 

 twenty-four-pound butter-carrier with box mould for putting 

 up butter for transportation; also stamps or prints, roller, 

 pestle, cutter, &c, for easily stamping and packing butter in 

 small fancy packages to be sent in the carrier or boxes to 

 market. Convenient and useful articles. 



The Dairy Supply Company of New- York City was repre- 

 sented by its manager, Col. Mason C. Weld, who exhibited a 

 great variety of standard dairy utensils with new and useful
