EEPOET ON THE DAIEY EXHIBIT. 



By JOSIAH SHULL, Ilion, Supbkintbkdknt. 



In October, 1892, tlie superintendent entered upon the active dis- 

 charge of his duties as a result of a conference between the Board of 

 General Managers and the committee froni the State Dairymen's Asso- 

 ciation, consisting of W. H. Gilbert, A. E. Eastman and Josiah Shull. 

 Means were taken to inform dairymen throughout the State as to the 

 scope and character of the proposed exhibit and the facilities which the 

 Board of Managers had provided for the transportation of butter and 

 cheese to the exposition. The first exhibit of cheese was to be made 

 in June, 1893, and it was determined that this should be of cheese 

 made in 1892. On communicating with dairymen it was ascertained 

 that most of the cheese made in 1892 had gone out of the hands of the 

 makers. The June exhibit was consequently made in part of cheese 

 procured ' directly from the maker and in part from storage in the city 

 of New York. 



The butter and cheese for the four several exhibits of June, July, 

 SejJtember and October, 1893, were transported to Chicago in refrige- 

 rator cars by the American Express Company and the Wells, Fargo & 

 Company Express. The express companies performed the service at 

 the stated times and dates with promptness and dispatch, and delivered 

 the products in good condition at the Dairy Building in Chicago. The 

 several exhibits proved entirely satisfactory in numbers and commend- 

 able in standard and quality. There were T33 exhibits of butter, 

 aggregating about 13,000 pounds, of which three-fourths was from pri- 

 vate dairies and about one-fourth from creameries. While much of the 

 dairy butter maintained a high standard, the creameries maintained a 

 better average and more uniform high standing. One-fifth of all the 

 butter exhibited was high grade, scoring from 95 to 100 points. 



There were manufactured in New York factories in 1892 19,49Y,357 

 pounds of butter, which, from the best obtainable sources of informa- 

 tion, represents about fourteen per cent of the total amount of butter 

 maijufactured in the State. 



In the cheese department there were 564 samples of all varieties at 

 the several exhibits, or a total of 33,000 pounds. The June exhibit 

 contained 14Y packages, all of cheese made in 1892, excepting some 

 varieties of fancy cheese. The July, September and October exhibits
