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. The out'et is into :

WHEELER & WILSON'S NEW NO.
0 SEWING MACHINE.
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 |

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..

Object to tbe Smell.
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."

pompous manner, " Would you hal> any

The alacrity with which he complied
was orly equaled by the gusto with which
