5. The Examiners at both English and Scottish Centres 

 were : Pi-ofessor Douglas A. Gilchrist (General Dairying and 

 Practical Butter-making), Mr. John Benson (Cheese-making), 

 and Dr. J. Augustus Yoelcker (Chemistry and Bacteriology). 

 Their reports on the work of the candidates are appended. 



6. Professor Gilchrist reports that the work generally was 

 of a most satisfactory character, and showed distinct improve- 

 ment on the previous year. It was especially noticeable 

 that the candidates were better able to apply the scientific 

 knowledge they had obtained in the laboratory to practical 

 dairying and dairy farming problems. The application of a 

 good system of book-keeping on a dairy farm is still deficient, 

 although many of the candidates had a good general knowledge 

 of book-keeping.
