The ma^^nificcnt new dairy building which was first used in 1909 was 

 overcrowded by exhibits and visitors in 1910. Formerly this department was 

 housed in a small wooden structure poorly adapted for exhibits represent- 

 ing the greatest branch of agriculture in New York State. The small 

 quarters were not well filled chiefly because of the poor facilities provided. 

 Last year more exhibits were offered than could be accommodated. The 

 main room of the building, with large glass-front refrigerators around the 

 outside walls, with an amphitheatre where working demonstrations were 

 in progress most of the day, and with attractive exhibits of machinery and 

 dairy supplies in adjoining rooms, constituted a popular part of the fair. 

 The permanent booths erected at great expense by some of the machinery 

 exhibitors, together with the power necessary to keep their apparatus in 

 motion, presented a picture Avorthy of the great industrj- and of high educa- 

 tional value to the many visitors. Exhibitors reported good business results 

 for the fair week. Charge for exhibit space outside of refrigerators was ten 

 cents per square foot. For the first time, dairy exhibits were judged before the 

 fair opened, and throughout the entire week the prize products with names 

 :and addresses of exhibitors were shown in the refrigerators. 



The numbers of exhibits of dairy products during the last four years were 

 ;a8 follows; 



1901 190S 1909 1910 



Butter, all classes 165 21S 230 276 



Cheese, all classes 280 309 321 360 



Bottled milk and cream, all classes. . . ... 15 17 40 



An interesting feature of this department was the educational booth. Here 

 demonstrations were given by experts; bacteria were plated, grown and 

 counted; the new moisture test for butter and the salt test were shown; and 

 charts containing important suggestions to dairymen Avere displayed.
