Topic No. 13—“What is the Real Cause of the Difference 
in Price of Eastern and Western Cheese?” 
Judge Wilcox did not know that to be a fact; believed 
Western cheese fully as high as Eastern cheese; it was equal¬ 
ly as good, and ought to be worth as much. 
H W. Mead had shipped to Boston, and done quite as 
well in that market as Eastern cheese. 
Dr. Tefft thought Whstern cheese would bring as much in 
the Eastern market as any other brand, for home consump¬ 
tion. But Eastern cheese were better adapted in shape to 
• suit the foreign market; our cheese were too thin; must make 
them thicker, so they would suit the European taste; could 
always detect Western cheese; Englishmen did not like to 
buy it; the South want a thin cheese; would always make so 
as to suit the foreign taste. 
The Committee on Dairy Utensils now made the following 
report, which was accepted and placed on tile: 
The committee appointed to examine the Star Churn, beg leave to report 
that the invention proves to be the most simple and durable in construction, 
and the most effective and perfect in its workings, of anything ever before' 
offered to the butter producers of this country, and we heartily commend it 
t° every person whose average churning ranges anywhere not under two, 
nor over thirty pounds of butter. Your committee are of the opinion that 
the principle on which the above named churn acts, is worthy of the confi¬ 
dence of dairymen, and we recommend its adoption. 
In regard to a Butter Package exhibited by W. J. Allison, of Dundee, 
your committee think it superior to anything ever before seen by them, in 
manner and simplicity of construction. 
Also Guernsey’s “Gilt-Edge Milk Pan and Cooler” comes well recommend¬ 
ed, and your committee would indorse those recommendations, and consider 
it an improvement upon many modes of setting milk.
