Ten others who took part each time will share a pro rata fund. The following sent each time and all have an excellent av erage, when we consider the quality of the cream that some were obliged to tako during the warm moaths: Cooley, L.

Fulton House, 92 00 The plan of the test was for the college to send a live-pound tub and an entry blank to every butter-maker and dairy larmer in the state who wanted to take part. The college furnished the tub and paid tho express both ways on the package, the butter oeing sold to pay this expense. The contests were held tho latter part of each alternate month, making six for the year. The butter was adjudged at the different contests by the following: Mr. P. II. Kieffer, manager of the butter department ofGude Bros., New York City; B. D. White, of the Dairy Division. Washington, D. C, C. W. Fry- hofer, federal butter inspector at New York City;C. W. Larsenand F. P. Knoll, of State College. The butter was scored, sam ples were taken for analysis, and the score together with the moist ure content of the butter was sent to each contestant. Each butter-maker was asked to fillout a blank giving tho method used in making the sample. These blanks were carefully examined and sug gestions were sent each contest ant. The object of the contest was to stimulate interest in butter making, to improve the quality of Pennsylvania butter and to serve as a means of studying the water content and overrun of our but ter. Another contest open to cream eiy and farm butler makers will be held this year under the same general plan. The first of these tests will be April L"Jth. All wishing to tako part should write II. E. Van Norman, State College, at once for tub and entry blank. Don't fail to give both post-office and express office. Sale Register. Saturday. April 24 Osoago M.
