Dairy. 
The Hon. C. T. Parker (Chairman) 
reported that the Committee had 
settled the following regulations for 
the Trials of Churns at the Cambridge 
Meeting, and recommended that they 
be issued forthwith. 
1. All the churns for competition must be 
despatched, carriage paid, so as to reach the 
dairy in the Cambridge Showyard not later 
than 2 KM. on Monday, June 18, 1894. The 
official labels issued by the Secretary should 
be firmly attached to the churns before they 
are despatched. 
2. The trials will commence with Class 
VI. (churns capable of dealing with ten 
quarts and upwards of cream, not to exceed 
one-man power) on Wednesday, June 20, 
1894, at 9 A.M., and will proceed daily until 
completed. 
3. The order in which the several churns 
shall be tried will be decided by lot. 
4. Each competitor in Class VI. is required 
to state the maximum amount of cream with 
which his churn is capable of dealing ; and 
his churn will be tried with this amount, 
provided that it does not exceed one-man 
power. 
5. Subject to the preceding regulation, each 
competitor will first churn, by himself or by 
his servant, in the way that he thinks best 
adapted to bring out the capabilities of his 
churn. The person churning will be required 
to make up the butter after it has been 
treated by the Dclaiteuse and weighed by the 
Judges. 
6. In order to test the power used, another 
churning of selected churns will afterwards 
be made by the Society’s own staff. 
7. Each competitor in Class VII. will be 
required to state the maximum amount of 
cream he will use in each churning during 
the trial. 
8. The necessary cream for the trials will 
be provided by the Society. 
9. Butter workers and tables, and the 
Delaiteuse, will be furnished by the Society ; 
but all other utensils for making up the 
butter must be provided by the competitors 
themselves. 
10. Competitors arc required, before send- 
ing their churns to Cambridge, to affix a 
grooved pulley of a size to take a 3-in. dia- 
meter leather rope, and of such diameter as 
to give the required number of revolutions 
with a belt speed of 300 ft. per minute. They 
must also make provision for the fixing of 
their churns, for which purpose they should 
send small angle-irons, for fixing the churns 
to the wooden baulks in the floor.
