CHEESE DIARIES OF N. YORK.
In the transactions Of the New York
State Agricultural! Society, for 1916 there
is Il paper from the pen OF B ,. Johnson,
the efficient Secretary Of that Institution,
on Cheese Diaries, together with the an
swcrs called forth from the Dairymcn,
who took the premiums Of $50 and $50
offered by the Society.
1t appeared that the whole number of
cows then in the State was 999,4OO, Of
which 353.lG3 were employed in making
cheese. The average quantity Of cheese
made from a COW in Herkimer county, is
236 pounds; and in some dairies in that
county the average is as high as $50 lbs.
per COW. The annual average in Mr..
A|onzo l.. Disks Dairy, for three success
i've years, $50 pounds per COW, and in one
Of these years TIA per COW is stated to
have been obtained. At ten cents per ID.
the avera &c for three years would be
1858 per cow
Were it not for the expense Of sending
over long and bad roads to market, what
i glorious butter and cheese region would
be the mountain lands Of Virginia, the
Caro!nas, and Georgia! But rail roads
will come, by and bye; they possess
wonderful power Of sey:clongation, and
fortunately, as they extend themselves,
they not only cheaper transportation, but
diffuse knowledge: aud advance civil;za-
ton. They open mines, they how and
saw timber, they build factories, and
greatly increase the productive capacity
Of State or county, were it only in saw
ing the time formerly wasted in travel
ing, leaving it to be employed in the
work Of production; and thus adding in
effect what is equal to the labor Of mil
lions Of men!
A very weighty item in favor Of Dairy
husbandry, is, that it leaves the manure
on the land, while grain, and cotton, and
tobacco husbandry, carries i, all off the
land.
What is the value Of the annual pro
ducts OF Pennsylvania, in all branches Of
industry, we should like to know? Does
she take no measures Of her own TO pro-
cure accurate periodical returns Of her
labor and capital? Is she so inprovident
has she so little pride, like Maryland
and some others, as to depend entirely on
that miserable thing called a United Sfates
Census? How can men Ieglslate for a
State with any degree Of intelligence or
efficiency, without regular, reliable, Pc
riodcal surveys aud returns of its pro-
ducts ard resources? a..
