Cheese Factories in .4ShtaJlda, OHo.-C. c.
Wick Esq, of Wayne, one of our most cnterprising
and business has recently erected his buildings
and put in operation his dairy for the manufac-
turc OF cheese. He commands the product of /, 100
cows.
This furnishes employ for a large number of men
and women, and by the aid of recent improvements
and machinery much of the labor requisite is render
ed light more convenient and simple than the usual
mode. He had last week about 5000 cheeses on
hand, made within about thirty DAYS, and for beauty
and fine flavor they are not to be excclled The
weight of curds daily received amount in the az
gregate to $500 lbs. and the number Of cheese
as made daily about IS, varying somewhat as regards
size. They put up in sacks and intended for the
English, West India and California trades and vary
from 10 to 30 bs.-the former believe are intend
ed exclusively for the California markets.
At Richmond, Meriman Barber. Esq. has another
Factory" and situated so as to command the dali
ries OF that town, Dorset, Andover and portion of
Cherry Valley. He receives the products of about
the same number of cows, and makes about the same
weight of cheese daily and carried on in the same
manner as Wicls, but his cheeses are uniform in
size averaging about DC or y lbs each.-are put up
IN the best possible manner and will command the
highest rates in the home or foreign market
BY the adoption of this system il is made advanta-
geous to the farmers, they contract in the Spring
for their g curds' which continues for the season.
and are thus enabled to estimate very nearly their
amount OF resources, without reference to luctua-
ing market. The price paid for curds the present
season is 81 cents u h., deducting thcrerom the ex-
pense of teams for gathering, who receive stipu-
lated sum- C0medW Reporter.

The U0ol Irade.-It is but a few years since
Illinois afforded any amount of surplus wool worth
naming. Taking Chicago as market, and COM
mencing with 1912, find the increase as follows

last two years. At this we shall make as high
,20O,500 pounds This is by no means the whole
crop of Illinois, or even Northern Illinois We have
no means Of knowing what proportion Of the clip of

made, should say half, rather less than more.

LOVES APPEAL.

Go and forget thee! Bid the torrent flowing
Turn backward to its wild and unknown source:
Bid the stern tempest through the forest blowing,
Stay but moment in its onward course.
Bind with silken chain the fleeing hours,
That glide in silence through each summer day;
Call back to freshness last years faded flowers;
Or, still the dashing of the oceans spray.
But do not bid me go, nor yet forget thee, .ss
Nor think it wrong that do not obey;
would not that the hour wherein met thee,
Should from my fond remembrance pass away.
would not have it vanish like a vision
Lake sweet dream that fades with morning lights
But shrined in holy memory's dear elysian, a#@4
With thoughts that cheer through the darkest ght
Go and forget thee! Better that perish 4..s
Now, while the cup Of bitterness hold;
Oh! why wilt thou not let my spirit cherish
The gracious love that fingers yet untoldf
Oh! why not let me pour the holy treasure
gentle balm-into thy shrinking heart!
Twill yield gladness which thou not measure,
And calm thy sorrows when thy tears shall start.
Oh! then be mine, for in thy sweet confusion, .s
Pve read the love thou didst not dare to own;
Thou canst not tell me twas a fond delusion,
And that thy voice was only friendships tone; q.
Thou whisperedst once that it was but try me,
Thon bad'st me Danish love from my breast;
Let not the thought that thou has trifed by me,
Come like shadow Ger thy future rest.
Oh! call me back-by ali the sunny hours
We've passed together seated side by side
BY all the cherished joys that ours
Oh! let me dearest claim thee for my BRIDE
Qnench not the fame that in thy breast is glowing,
Nor seek to st ffe that which burns mine
But let our loves, like streams united flowing .-..4s
Mingle with each till mine be lost in thine.

LIBERTAD:-CAN .,

AaDGn AAD.-CANTO y.
Two chieftains there Of equal proves meet,
And each warm-hearted, generous, kind and brave,
From Chimes remote, they press on weary feet,
And hazard perils both by land and wave;
But comes their infant country's rights to save;
And all the tolls Of war, each doom'd to share,
To scourge the tyrant, who would dare enslave
Their land, the gift of Heavens peculiar care;
For which they fought and still would greater dan
gers dare.
Along the bank the troops each other view,
And with kind greetings grasp the extended hand,
Tho many heroes, since their last adieu;
Had pass'd from earth, to that forgotten land,
No more in battles fiery front to stand;
But fell with glory's circlet round their brow;
Rolling the storm-cloud, on IMPRESSIONS band,
With those who weep their fate with tears more
Than those which France pour'd out on fated Wa
terloo.
Ere while those chiftains on the sounding shore;
Beside the fires which their forces rais'd,
Sit and recount the hardships each one bore;
Since they last parted and what forts they RAID,
Sore wept each others woes or valor prais'd,
Or turn'd perhaps, and prais'd their soldier train,
How these host of hostile Brton's chas'd;
How those by might a stack of arms to gain,
Did thread the British lines and their wish,d prize
obtain.
And thus till nine and twenty days had fed,
Those heroes lay encamp'd upon that food;
NUMBERING the fields where they fought and bled;
Or track'd the way the shoeless soldier trod
Or where he toird along the desert wood;
h.,h Tclo
Where none could give to him the wsh'd for food,
To save the famish'd man, from hapless wo;
Nor on his lfeless dust, could funeral rites bestow
And sombre night usurp'd her ancient throne;
The world was wrapt with her mist droppng vest,
And dusky clouds obscurd the stars and moon,
The striding blasts by the black Attic blown,
HOW'D ftrcely round Mount Abrams rocky steep,
Where the dim watch-fres DER the encampment
shone,
The sentry guards, their live-long vigils keep,
BY their faint light that casts dismal CLEAN along
the deep.
There in their tents, these worn heroes lay,
Revolving in their minds, their country's woes,
And plots and schemes, for that disastrous day,
When Fate should frown upon their hostile foes,
And Quebec's towers lie level with the SHOWS;
The while their troops alike subject to Fate,
Unconscious share the gifts of soft repose,
Meantime by fear depressed or hope elate,
Toss out the dreamy night, and for the morning
wait. MUsA.
