BREAD, BUTTER, CHEESE, &o. °1 



We have enumerated all the articles which came 

 under our observation, and upon which judgment of 

 good, better, and best was to be pronounced, and it 

 must be done. Grades must be assigned, however 

 difficult the task, even to those who knew well how to 

 manufacture the very kind of articles under consider- 

 ation in all their varieties. And we have done it, and 

 submit the result of our deliberations most respectfully 

 in the hope, that although all may not be gratified 

 entirely, they may be induced to greater exertions, in 

 order, not to procure the highest premiums in money, 

 but the name of manufacturing the best of produc- 

 tions. And we wish these might be esteemed ihe 

 accomplishments of ladies, in preference to those more 

 showy but less useful; and that the term Hon. be 

 assigned to the man who succeeds best in his avocation 

 instead of to him who by the hocus-pocus of a caucus, 

 becomes a maker of laws, largely to be disregarded by 

 the community, and broken and trampled upon by 

 himself
