Report of the Judges on Dairy Products. 



The committee on dairy products exhibited at the Fifteenth An- 

 nual Fair of the American Institute, report: 



That they have examined the several lots of butter and cheese ex- 

 hibited, and recommend 



That the first premium on butter, be awarded to lot No. 118, 

 made and exhibited by Mr. Stephen Yates of Palatine, N. Y. 



That the second premium on butter, be awarded to Mr. John A. 

 Smith of Orange county, N. Y. 



The tub of butter presented by Mr. H. W. Strong of Orange 

 county, was considered fully equal to any exhibited; but the quan- 

 tity was not sufficient to entitle it to a premium; but the committee 

 recommend a diploma to be given to Mr. Strong.
