Cheese and Buttee. 
There was but a small and indifferent show of Cheese (onlv 
seven exhibitors in allj, but there was a larger and better dis- 
play of Butter. In a county to which Cheddar cheese is indi- 
genous, it might have been expected that some very good cheese 
would have been sent for exhibition ; but while the Cheddar 
cheese is verv highly esteemed for its richness and flavour, 
nothing can be conceived more flaccid and tasteless than the 
skim-milk cheese which is made in large quantities all about 
Taunton. In two separate Reports, the Judges of Cheese and 
Butter, who are unanimous in their praise of the specimens of 
butter upon which they had to decide upon, write : — 
I have pleasure in reporting that I considered the show of Butter very 
good ; those to ■which we awarded the Prizes, as well as those Highly Com- 
mended, were of a very superior clas.'s, both as regarded quality, flavour, and 
texture. The Commended I should class as fine quality ; and even the 
poorest samples were, or might be, classed as fairly good. The samples were 
sent in a creditable state, and some entitling the exhibitors to the possession 
of artistic merit. 
Clieese — only a small supply (seven exhibitors) in the two classes. Qiuiiity 
not fine, nor the samples sufficiently niatxm?d.

In reference to the Taunton Show of Butter and Cheese, my idea of that 
part of the Show was, that the show of Cheese was small in quantity, and 
that the quality of those shown was not very choice. 
Butter, a very good show, and the quality verj- fine of those dairies shown 
to which Prizes and Commendations were awarded.
