The following is the report of the committee:

The committee on Cabinet Ware report that but few articles of this ware were entered for exhibition, although it is of extensive use and manufacture, and on it liberal premiums were offered. The committee award a premium on an invalid chair, entered by Mr. J. J. Gillmore, of Warren, O. In their opinion the purposes of its construction are well attained by a variety of easy positions, which an invalid by a little exertion may give himself when using the chair. J. F. MOORE,

[blocks in formation]

The undersinged have discharged their duty, by a careful examination of all the articles on exhibition in this class, and report as follows:

There was only one set of farm harness, but that was in every way worthy. One pair of hames-very superior.

The display of brushes-some very fine brushes, by Industrial School, but the best display was No. 7.

The committee were at some loss to decide upon gents' dress boots, but finally came to the onclusion that No. 16 should have the premium, combining more utility and strength, with a high order of finish and skill in the manufacture. We wish, however, to state that No. 6 (fancy dress boots) cannot be too highly commended as articles of taste and fancy skill. There were three entries of beavy boots, all good, but the best were No. 7. There was only one entry each of gents' dress shoes, congress gaiters. laidies' gaiters, ladies' booties, and ladies' slippers, but these were all of such excellent workmanship and quality, that we did not hesitate to award the premiums offered.

There was one entry only of gents' suit of clothes-a most excellent suit. We also commend

Nos. 2, 3 and 4 under the head of suits of gents' clothing. No. 5 (miscellaneous) is a very ingenious and worthy article for the army, or travelors depriv d of hotel or house accommodations. We highly recommend the boot and shoe pattern, No. 19, (miscellaneous); it must be a very useful article. The patent buckle (No. 34) we commend highly. (No. 31), brooms, an excellent article. Submitted,

To the Awarding Committee on Cheese:

GENTS: You are presented with twelve samples of cheese, to which your attention is called, and a careful examination respectfully solicited. Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, were made the 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th days of June, 1863. Number 12 was made the 21st day ́of July, 1862, from the milk of 80 cows, evening and mornings milk, with no addition of cream.

PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE.

The evening's milk is strained into the vat, and the animal heat taken therefrom by pouring cold water into the water chamber of the vat, and setting tin holders filled with water into the milk.

What cream has arisen during the night is applied into the steamer, and the morning's milk poured on to it. A fire is made in the heater and milk brought to a temperature of 84 degrees. Enough rennet is then added to coagulate the milk and make it sufficiently firm to cut in 60 minutes. Theu cat with a wire cutter into inch square blocks; it then stands 20 minutes; then work the curd carefully with the hands 20 minutes; then take off a portion of the whey and start a fire in the heater; com neuce heating gradually, stirring carefully until the temperature reaches 94 degrees, then shut off the heat and cover the vat with a cloth and let it stand 60

minutes; then take off some more whey, start the fire, and continue to work the curd with the hands until it is raised to a temperature of 104 degrees; cover with a cloth and let stand one hour, or until sufficiently cooked; then get the whey off, and salt with Onondagua factory filled salt-two pounds and four-tenths to the 100 gallons of milk; work the curd fine before putting to press. Press one day with two-inch wrought-iron screws as hard as one man can turn with a lever four feet long. After taking from the press, grease and turn every day.

PREPARATION OF RENNET.

Kill the caif at five days old, when their stomachs are empty, salt them inside and out, and hang them up to dry. When one year old and dry, put one dozen into a crock, to which add salt and water, let stand until the strength is out, when it is fit for use.

To the questions propounded we answer as follows:

1. Improved natives.

2. Timothy, red and white clover.

3. Long continued pasturing exhausts the soil. Rotation of the grasses with other crops rightly managed will improve it.

4. When cheese commands 8 cents per pound, dairy lands may be used profitably at $35 per

acre.

5. The proper temperature of a room for curing cheese should range from 75 to 80 'grees. A much higher temperature would cause too rapid a state of fermentation; causing a sharp pungent flavor and bitterness. At a much lower temperature fermentation is too slow, causing the whey or moisture to remain too long in the cheese, causing a sourish bitterness.

To the Committee of Judges on Cheese at the Ohio State Fair, 1863:

S. E. & H. N. CARRTER.

GENTS: The cheese offered for exhibition are a sample of 1,200 cheese of an uniform size and quality, manufactured by me during the present season, at the Barlett Dairy, in Munson, Geauga county, Ohio.

THE PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE.

The milk at night is received and put into tin vats, set inside of wooden ones, and a stream of cold spring water set running through the wooden vats to keep the milk cool and sweet, and kept running all night.

In the morning the milk is again received and put in with the last night's milk. the temperature of the whole raised to 82 deg. Fahr.; coloring is added sufficient to produce a rich cream color, and sufficient rennet to produce perfect coagulation in one hour. The whole mass is then surred until it begins to thicken, and is then left until the curd is sufficiently formed to commence working. It is then cut up very fine, heat raised to 88 degrees, thoroughly stired 20 minutes, and then allowed to stand for the curd to settle, the whey is then drawn of down to be curd; the curd is then finally broken up aud the heat raised to 98 degrees; it is then k pt sur ed for an hour, so that it shall not pack together, and then allowed to stand until the curd is done, the heat maintained at 98 degrees all the while. When the curd is finished and firm, it is d pped into a drainer, where the whey runs off, and three pounds of salt to every 100 gallons of mak is added, and thoroughly worked in and incorporated with the curd. It is then put into the press, pressed two hours, taken out, turned over, and a cloth bandage put on, replaced in the press and left until the next day It is then taken from the press and rubbed over with grease, carried to the curing rooms and placed on the ranges, turned and rubbed every day until oured.
