Agricultural Education Exhibition. 
The experiment apparently demonstrated what it was 
intended to do, viz., that the general public judge milk by its 
colour, and that to colour the paler milks so as to pass them off 
for the milks richer in fat is a practice that cannot be 
commended. 
Experiments of a similar nature with butter were also carried 
out. In every case the pale butters were voted as the worst, 
the deepest in colour always obtaining the highest number 
of adherents, while the best butter was passed by. In this 
experiment the samples were three in number. No. i. Best 
Jersey butter of a good natural colour ; No. 2, v/hite butter 
coloured to be darker than the Jersey ; No. 3, white butter 
uncoloured. 
In carrying out these experiments, and generally in the 
work of the Dairy, I was greatly assisted by Mr. T. W. 
Ashton, my Assistant Steward, Mr. Gilbert, and the Staff 
of the Dairy, all of whom worked hard and well.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION EXHIBITION. 
As on recent occasions, an exhibition was organised by the 
Education Committee of this Society, in co-operation with the 
County Councils Association, the Royal Meteorological Society, 
and various Agricultural Colleges. To this was allotted a 
prominent building to the right of the main avenue, in the 
centre of the Showyard at Lincoln. Much attention was 
directed to the exhibits here brought together, and designed 
to show what was being done by various institutions as well 
as by the Society itself for the promotion and development 
of agricultural education. A considerable distribution was 
made of various forms of literature from some of the stands 
occupied in this section, and much direct information was 
afforded to visitors by verbal explanation of the exhibits and 
the scientific work they represented by the gentlemen in 
charge of each stand. 
Mr. J. Bowen-Jones again acted as Steward of this very 
interesting section of the year’s Show.
