“Finally, we have to mention, as a by-product of some use, whey-oil, which is pre- 
pared from the whey, and is used for oiling the cheese in the curing-room, It melts at 
a lower temperature than butter made from the same material, and is destitute of the 
texture aud flavor of good butter.” 
STATISTICAL DIVISION. 
The exhibits of the statistican, J. R. Dodge, are designed to present 
in compact form and logical arrangement, with such aids to interpreta- 
tion as are afforded by color and mathematical delineation, some of the 
main facts which illustrate the progress of settlement, production, and 
rural improvement in the United States. With a national census giving 
only the estimated production of the principal crops once in ten years, 
and very few of the States making any attempt in the direction of agri- 
cultural statistics, the field of prompt and general agricultural inquiry 
is left almost entirely to the statistical division of the Department of 
Agriculture. The rapid extension of cultivation in Western States and 
Territories and in the Pacific and Southwestern States, which causes 
changes in a single year that appear almost incredible, as for instance 
the increase of corn production in Kansas from 16,000,000 of bushels in 
1874 to 80,000,000 in 1875, renders the work of this division exceedingly 
active and difficult. To gather the immense array of fragmentary data, 
and present for the Centennial a rounded and complete result in as 
many essential points as possible, much special statistical work was 
necessary, which has been reduced to a minimum by the extremely lim- 
ited appropriation available for the service. The line of effort adopted 
includes, first, statistical record, in album form, of the several great 
classes of agricultural facts, in plain text and with map, diagram, and 
pictorial illustrations, designed to present briefly more succinct sum- 
mary than has ever been presented to the public, and more complete in 
the classes of facts selected forexposition ; second, a series of large outline 
maps illustrating the geographical distribution of crops and various 
results of original investigation ; third, a series of charts and diagrams, 
showing important facts in production and distribution, industrial edu- 
cation, and political economy. The maps and charts were mostly finished 
before the opening of the Exposition. The magnitude of the labor re- 
quired more time for finishing some of the larger charts. The general 
record, in its details, is among the exhibits so far as completed.
