interesting department of the State Fair. This year 

 there were twenty-five entries of farm butter, and fifteen 

 entries of cottage cheese, two exhibits of creamery but- 

 ter, and these products were sent from widely separated 

 places in our State. Paducah and Bowling Green were 

 represented in the list. Mr. 0. 0. Ewing, of Louisville, 

 an extensive dealer in milk and manufacturer of butter, 

 judged the dairy products. 



Model Daiey. 



The Model Dairy on the State Fair grounds has 

 been operated for several years. It has become one of 

 the leading attractions of the fair. Four Holstein cows 

 were stabled in the up-to-date stalls and were taken care 

 of and fed in such a way as to instruct the visitors. In 

 the Model Dairy Room, which adjoins the Model Dairy 

 Barn, such operations as cooling and bottling milk, sep- 

 arating cream, churning butter, and sterilizing dairy 

 utensils were carried on. A student operated the Bab- 

 coicfc. butter fat tester throughout each day, and hun- 

 dreds of visitors learned how to operate this useful test. 

 Many dairjrmen brought samples of milk which were 

 tested for richness. Through the kindness of the man- 

 agement of the State Fair the cattle barn that adjoins 

 the Model Dairy was changed into a Convention Hall. 

 The rear part of the hall was provided with a speakers ' 

 stand and about two hundred chairs. Moving pictures 

 were displayed ia this hall during the daytime, and they 

 served to teach useful lessons in regard to the care of 

 live stock, and the construction of concrete buildings on 

 farms. The extensive exhibits from the Experiment Sta- 

 tion were displayed in the front part of the Convention 

 Hall. It attracted considerable attention, and the attend- 

 ants from the Experiment Station were constantly sur- 

 rounded by interested groups of spectators as they ex- 

 plained the various charts and exhibits. This hall is a 

 delightful place for people to stop for a few minutes to 

 rest, and to hear lectures or to see the moving pictures. 

 It is a most useful addition to the Experiment Station 

 equipment at the fair.
