2 Show of different system of cream raising, creamery and dairy work. This department will show several working creameries and dairies, and cheese factory, run by good makers, and by special tickets, those interested ia the details of I he work, may be admitted inside tho ring so as to see what is meant by proierly ripe cream, by the proper graanla -ting of butter, see the cheese made, and hear the lectures that will bo delivered. 3.
