Denmark and 'hs stock and Dairy Business,
Denmark township. as many OF our
readers know. is settled principally by
immigrants from New England and their
descendants on the Western reserve Of
Ohio, and the population possess and
cherish the characteristics of New Eng
land 'town." The village OF Denmark,
making due allowance for the broader
field OF development furnished by our
praries and generous dash of western
spirit, affords very favorable idea Of
the New England "Rural Districts"
All those racterlsiics, which the
wisest of our sages have declared to be
the true foundation and great safe guard
IF our freedom, - education, temperance,
morality and religion, have a wider influ-
ence at Denmark, than in any other com-
munity within the range of our acquain
lance. The people are almost without
exception, moral. industrious and lnielli
gent, and. as a consequence, are general
ly "well off. if not wealthy, while in
temperance aud squalid poverty are un-
known amongst them.
The great educational and social ad
vantagcs Of Denmark. and the general
thrift and remarkable appearance of com
fort. which good buildings and abundance
Of fruit and shrubbery give to the farms,
in that vicinity, have attracted much at
tention, and many persons Of means, who
app eciate the facilities OF such a location
for their families, are making purchases
in Denmark. These and such like infu
ences have had tendency 10 apprecia c
the value OF real estate in that vicinity

ties.
The Diaries are the distingu shing in.
dustrial feature of Denmark, and are far
ahead Of anything Of the kind west Of the
Mississippi. We are not advised as to The
quantity or value OF the cheese made there,
but we can testify as to lis quality and
have little doubt that under the present
prices Of from ten to twelve cents per
pound it will rapidly grow into a very
extensive business. In this connection,
we cannot omit the name of our friend
Oliver Mills, whose enterprising spirit
aud admirable judgment in regard to
sock, and superior skill in their manage
ment, have not only been the means of
stocking his own large farm in an adni
rable manner, but have excited spirit of
emulation, established standard of ex-
cellence and created market for superior
stock in his neighborhood. willie at the
same time the fame of Denmark cows has
attracted purchasers for fifty miles round
about.
Mr.. Mills keeps very large number
OF mich cows. and is always ready 10 buy
or sell the very best quality, and be has
already established such favorable rep.
uta,ion for fair dealing, not only ar ong
his neighbors, but with people at dis
lance, that many persons in Burlington
md keokuk are in the habi. Of ordering
their mich COWS. leaving the selection and
price to lin, perfectly assured, if they
are not suited, he will make it all right"
THE WORK IS GOING ON.
