Cheese is as certainly lie staple production of
>eOunty, as buttf is Of Orange county, N.
sSheR, Conn; or Onions thatof Wealth
d, in the last narned State, We perigrina-
al through a few of the cheese factories and
I warehouses, last week, and tie result has been
that we fancied ourselves a Rev. Cream Cheese.
and that all the mill of human kindness with
in us, had turned TO curd.
First we visited the Cheese warehouse of
Messrs. Parks & gentz. of this town. This is
in The new brick block ON Liberty Street The
lower noon about 90 by 60 feet, and Il feet in
hsight. is full of cheese from foort 70 ceiling, ar
ranged on shelves. The upper room is of the
same size, and is also being filled in the same
way. The cheese are OF all sizes, most of them
large, and bearing evidence of being of good
quality. There is about forty tons, now in the
warehouse. These are purchased of farmers
soon after they are made, taken to the warehouse
and carefully watched until sufficiently cured
to be sent to market. This plan saves the farm
ers and their wives the trouble of taking care of
them drring the warm season, while two or
three men, in a building thus arranged, can take
care of the production of fifty dairies.
The next was the warehouse of Messrs. An
drews & Aldrich, in Fowler. Here a different
plan is taken. The cheese is also made by the
farmers, but they are manufactured to order, all
of one size, 10 inches in diameter, and averaging
25 pounds in weight. These also being deliv-
cred soon after they are made. are cured in the
warehouse, and shipped as fast as ready for
market. They being of nearly the Same size
and being made and cured under the personal
direction of Messrs. Andrews & Aldrich, (who
are experienced dealers,l present q very fine ap-
pearance, and of course will command a higher
price in market, than an ordinary lot.
The next was Mr.. B. B. Pslton, of Kinsman.
Here still another plan is pursued. The curd
is bought of the dairymen. lat 5 cts. per b.
and collected every day ard brought to the fac
tory where it is manufactured. Here all the
curd goes through the same manufacturing, and
curing process, and each cheese pressed in hoops
of the same size, al are as nearly alike as it is
possible for cheese to be. Mr.. P. makes about
half a ton per day, and has at this time some
fifty tons on hand. He has sold his cheese to
the agents of Messrs. Sdaight, Deming d Co,
Cincinnati.
The next and largest was the factory of L..
Pelton. IN Gustavus. This is the same establish
ment which has been 50 long famous, formerly
under the proprictorshp of Geo. Hezlep. Esq,
and latterly, of Mr.. L. Pelton, for the fine qua /
ity of cheese it has turned out, under the name
of Durham Farm Cheese. This warehouse is
&c by 80 feet, and two stories high, the lower
already full, and the upper partly 50. Here, as
at the Kinsman factory, the curd is bought of
the farmers, and the cheese made at the factory.
Branches Of this establishment are in operation
at Hartford in this County, and Wayne, Ashta-
bula County. Mr.. P. has about $50 tons on
hand, and expects to ship during the season $50
tons Employed in this factory. and its branh-
es, are "a men and Z women.
Last year the Durham Farm Cheese was ship
ped to California and Australia, and experience
hns shown chat it viii keep in any climate.
1t is worth at the factory 10 q IL cts. per
pound, and the production of cheese during the
season, will amount TO about Sc 1000.
