\ BUTTER AM) CHEESE. tnlrrmlna HtaliMtlrn of tbo Dairy Interpol* of tbc I'nllrd Ntatm. At the last meeting of the Diary-men's Association of New York, Mr. Willnrd, the chairman, made the following statement relative to the butter and cheese interest in the United States. In 1803, said Mr. Willard, the associated system began to move forward in earnest. About 110 factories were erected that year, and the whole number in operation was only 200. We were then exporting about 40,000,000 pounds of cheese and 23,000,000 pounds of butter. In 1859 our exports of cheese were only a trifle over 9,250,- ! 000 pounds, and butter about 2,500,030. Our cheese exports from 1859 to 18(53 I were increased at the annual rnto of 7,500,000 pounds. At the end of 1873 the annual exports of American clionne , Great Britain amounted to 104,000,000 j pounds, an increase of 04,000,000 pounds m ten years. But of this, 20,000,000 pounds came from Canada. In addition, we exported about 10,000,(MX) pounds to other countries than Britain, making our total annual exports over 1)0,000,000 . r pounds. The Canadians up to 1806 purchased their cheese from the United States. Our bill on Canada for cheese, in 1860, amounted to 5*200,000, representing about 2,0(M),(MM) pounds. It is now estimated that there ore 1,200 and j upward of cheese and butter factories in New York alone, while the system luus been carried iuto the Northwest on u large scale, and of late is gaining a foothold in other sections, especially in Maine, which offers a good field for its operations. Mr. Willard thought there was but little cause for ahum from fear of overproduction. Tlie increase of population, both at home and in England, together with the barriers that limit the increase of dairying, go to hIiow that there is no good cause for alarm that there will be | an overproduction of prime dairy goods for some years to come. He said the increoso of our exports since 1863 was 64,000,000 pounds of cheese. At 400 ptfunds of cheese to the cow, it would | require 160.000 cows to make that mum t^ty. But as our homo consumption had mcrensed in as rapid ratio, there was Reeded 320,000 more cows than in 1803 th supply the increased exports and consumption of cheese at home during the time mentioned. I Statistics show that forty-oue per ceut. pf the milk produced in the United States is consumed directly as food, and fflfty-four per cent, is used for butter. This leaves only five per cent, of the milk to lit? made into cheese. Now, according to the United States census, the milch ; cows in the country in 1850 were 0,385,- I ?094, in i8?>0 they numbered 8,581,735, i aud in 1870 thev were 11,008,925, the av' erage increase 'being less than 2,500,0(H) . cows for each decade. In other words, (the increase of population is at a greater rate than the iuflrease of dairy stock. For the purpose of showing the great ? tax on our dairies to supply the needs of home consumption, he gave some statistics in relation to the butter eroiv Tlw< annual butter crop lias been variously estimated at from 70(1,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 of pound". Tliis, he said, apiH?nrs to lie a low estimate if we are to take the figures sent out by the New | York Butter and Cheese Exchange. A committee of eminent merchants was appointed by the Exchange to consider the subject of classifying and grading butter, and the committee, in their report, stute that tli? census statistics of ilairy products are incomplete and defective. A more reliable estimate is that made by an experienced and careful statistician, which the coinmitte indorse, making the annual product of butter to be 1,440,000,000 pounds, which, at thirty cents per pound, amounts to $432,000,000. At the rate of 200 pounds to the cow, it would require 7,200,000 cows to make the annual yield of 1,440,000,000 pounds. If, as has been estimated, there are now 13,000,000 cows in the United States, then fifty-four per cent, (the proportion heretofore stated to liave been employed for butter) would make the number a little over 7,000,000 cows. He spoke of the rapid increase of butter consumption in this country, and attributed it, in port, to-the introduction of the creamery system, and as a consequence, the general improvement in the quality of butter. He said the price of butter luul been gradually advancing ! abroad, ami Hint /mnn? , , +r> "" '"-"""J '"?? great demand for it during the past year in England, prices luul advanced to 170 . shillings sterling per cwt. on the finest grades. This price, it would seem, offers an inducement to us to export. He referred to the demand in the West Indies and South America for dairy goods, and believed that New York will l>e more and more the chief distributing market of the world for dairy products, and will largely control the prices in all other | markets. An allusion was made to the heavy burden which had accumulated ou the dairymen of New York at the commencement of the present seasons's operations. This came from the low yield of the hay crop in 1873. The scarcity and consequent high price compelled many dairymen to sell stock at a low price, while the early snow in fall, and the unusual length of the cold weather left stock in thin condition ; consequently the yield j of milk early in the season was below an average. If all the items of expense for carrying stock through the winter of 1873 -4, together with the expense of filling up the herds in spring, be taken into account, the dairymen of New York will not find a large balanoe of profit for the summer's work. Still, prioes have been more than were expected, while the immense hay crop of 1874 puts the dairy farmer in a satisfactory condition for next vear's operations.' And he has abundant reason to feel enconnurari a*.! the prospect of 1875. The Highest Lake. Dr. HarkBess lias discovered, in Plumas county, California, a body of water, probably the most elevated in the United States, the barometer registering a height of 7,330 feet above the sea level. The lake is of triangular sliape, having 1 its longest diameter about one mile and three quarters in length. The water during last August was intensely cold and of a deep blue color.

Anterlran Institute. New York?Judges' Hp. port. Not. 14, 1874. To the Board of Managers: Gentlemen?After a full and impartial examinatiou of the articles described, tlie undersigned judges make the following RKl*ORT?(ABSTRACT): That Sewing-machine No. 43G (Wheeler & Wilson's Now No. 6) was claimed to bo so groat an improvement, both upon tho well-known family machine j made by tho same company, and upon : all other sewing-machines, as entitled it i to recognition as a new and valuable in- j veutiou. Under these circumstances, an j extremely thorough and minute examina- j tion became l>oth desirable and necessarv, not only of its novoltv but of tl,o air,u i and workmansliip manifested in tho ' fitting and adjustment of ail its ports. , We liavo risen fiom such examination j with an ample conviction that the claim, in all its essential features, is well founded. At tho commencement of our examination, we were provided with several complete sets of all the working parts as ; they came from the manufactory*, and j were at liberty to make our own selection I for tho construction of a complete ma- ' chine in our presence. We thus hail, to j a [large degree, a demonstration of the nicety of the manufacture. Every port was ! formed to fit every other part with exact I precision. So accurately, for instance, did the several rotating tiooks fit in the same bearing, that while entering it, each ouo of them, without such contact as required force, manifestly compressed the air within in reaching its proper seat. [The judges enumerate and describe some of the points of novelty and excellence of the machine. Among others: The simple and efficient device for producing variable motion for the rotating hook; The independent take-up lever, which secures the tightening of the stitch under the best possible circumstances; The peculiar form of tho hook aud the use of a bobbin holding a great quantity of tho under thread; The simple dovieo for producing and varying the tension of the lower thread; The hollow steel uoedle-bar; The facility of applying and using many useful attachments?the licuimer, binder, corder, rulHer, Ac. ] tlaving completed the construction of our trial machine, in the way indicated, it was mounted upon a convenient stand, and submitted to every variety of test as to th? range of work tiiat could lie executed upon it properly and well, and without other adaptation than simple changes of needle and thread. The mere list of operations performed in our presence without the slightest hesitation or failure^ and without the discoverable loss of so much as a single stitch, would convey uu inadequate idea of the complete success achieved. Beginning with a needle, measuring but 17-1000 inch in diameter, mid operating with the finest thread upon lace goods, the same maeliine passed through all the stages of muslin, and broadcloth of all conceivable thicknesses and foldings and ridgings, and then with waxed thread stitching through portions of heavy harness leather. After this demonstration of its range of work, we entered upon the uicer tests required for a family mid light manufacturing machine. In this department we witnessed all the varieties of work on hemming, felling, mid braiding, and also a degree of success in single and double , ruffling which we believe unparalleled. J The varied kinds of work on a lady's ! boot were then performed, and each of j these with the same marked success. Indeed, whatever the test, and whatever the work presented, the same unfailing perfection was exhibited, not only in the work as a piece, but in the execution of each individual stitch. With much patient examination, we were unable to discover a single defect. ***** The minuteness of this report is a simEle reflection of the care with which we ave endeavored to examine these claims. We flnd the chief advantage of this ma- > chine to be in the use of a modified form of the rotating hook as a substitute for the shuttle, the hook carrying the upper thread around the bobbin containing the lower thread, and thus producing identically the same effect as the shuttle. The superiority of this rotary motion over the reciprocating motion of the shuttle machines cannot be disputed. The " lock- I stitch " which is thus secured lias always j ranked liigliest on account of the perma- j nence, beauty, and general desirableness , of the stitching when done, and the wide j range of its application. To these conceded advantages there j have been added, in our presence, the [ severest and most searching tests of its i capacity and usefulness upon every i ordinarily possible kind of work, and | VTTO non /1a *?? 1 /?nn ' " x _ - - * .. .... ?..? idoo i,iurn uour wimeRH to the entire and remarkable success which has attended its action in every part of our examination. It is a machine which, by the proof submitted, we arc satisfied must eventually supersede all others now known with which it comes in compettiion. As the only conclusion to which we i can arrive after an investigation of the j several merits of each of the sewing- I machines submitted, an investigation | which we have endeavored to make pa- j tiently and completely in every respect, ! and associating these with our best judgment upon the merits of the several machines which are in use but not on exhibition: We recommend for the, Wheeler <f* Wilson New No. 6 Sewing-machine, the. highest award which it is in the power of the Institute to bestow. The Board of Managers unanimously approved the report, and recommended for this machine the Gold Medal of the Institute.. John A. Bassktt, ") Moses S. Beach, | H. W. SteexiK, J-Judges.

In the winter of 18R7-68, while the writer was u resident of Nebraska City, Nebraska, a young miui from Missouri? a professed "negro hater"?was part proprietor of one of the two livery-stables of which tho town then boasted. One cold winter evening he was approached by a squad of colored citizens, and interrogated as to tho cliarge for a fourhorse sleigh aud driver for a party who wanted to go to a dance some eight or ten miles down the river. He did not relish tho idea of acting in the capacity of driver himself, and, as he lunl no hand with whom he was willing to trust his only available team, he endeavored to " bluff tlieni off" by naming an exorbitant sum, cash in liaud, as the answer to their query, and was not a little nonplused by the prompt " All right, sail. Hab 'em ready at half past seven. Here's your money." His prejudices fairly overcome by the pleasant titillation of tho money in his hand, ho drove the party to their destination, hitched and blanketed his team, anil took liis seat in the house to await the " hour for retiring."

The alacrity with which he complied was orly equaled by the gusto with which he torn the joko on liimself, always adding, " Herved me right for driving do geinmen, any way."
