REPOllT ON DxVIRY. 



The Committee on the Dairy have attended to their duty, and 

 report : — 

 That for the best 40 lbs. of Butter presented, the premium of $20 



is awarded to Rev. C, C. Sewall, of Medfield. 

 For the best 20 lbs. the first premium of $10 to same.

of Medwny. 

 For the second, premium of $4 to J. P. Clark, of Medway. 

 For the third, premium of $2 to , name unknown. 



The Committee having had much experience in butter-making, 

 offer the following rules as the result of their experience. 



The newer and sweeter the cream, the sweeter and higher flavored 

 will be the butter. 



The air must be fresh and pure in the room or cellar -where tho 

 milk is set. 



'J'he cream should not remain on the milk over thirty-six hours. 



Keep the cream in tin pails, or stone pots, into -which put a 

 spoonfal of salt at the beginning, then stir the cream lightly each 

 morning and evening ; this will prevent the cream from moulding or 

 souring. 



Churn as often as once a week, and as much oftencr as circum- 

 stances Avill permit. 



Before churning add the cream upon all the milk then in the dairy. 



Use nearly an ounce of salt to a pound of butter. 



Work the butter over twice to free it from the buttermilk an3 

 brine before lumping or packing.
