test of years? Is it to continue to prosper,
or will it not soon break up, and dairymon
return again TO tho old system OF cheese
making: In my opinion. No The System
is "a progressive step; and all history teaches
that when that is taken it is difficult to re-
trace the atep. Doubtless somo of you ro.
member when tho wool aud tho flax, grown
pn tho farm, were spun and woven in tho
family. We shall never return to that
again, becaueo wo cannot afford it. They
can be more cheaply manufactured by as.
sociatod capital, or where tho untirng arm
of the machine 10 substituted for that of tho
living muscle The flosh and blood of our
wives and daughters are of too much con-
eeQuerce to be worn out by this ceaseless
, toll. when the Bpindlcs aud looms, driven
by stoam or water power, can reliovo them
, OF their burthen at fraction Of what il
costs. in homo manufacture. Why, then,
should a neighborhood of dafrymen do tho
work of choesomaLing in families, employ.

Progress is alaw Of nature. From the
earliest dawn of tho creation there has been
a constant eerios Of improvements in pro-
gress. Geology reveals that the lower Or
der Of sensitive beings gave way to those of
higher grade, until the last term Of physi.
cal creation was sttained in the creation of
man, whose improvement as rational crea-
ture aud an Immortal soul, 10 etilt des lined
TO bs on ward and upward. ~ ~.
A desire 10 tho human mind merely to
repeat the thoughts and operations Of 9TH
ers, indicates at best an unworthy indolencc.
Conservatism ia error is obviously q folly,
and our adhesion to custom, merely be,
cause il is Old, or considered established, in
tbs world OF change, 10 an absgrdity. Wo
should keep our minds open for tho recep.
tion OF every new ruth, treasure up every
new fact and principle, and test their value
whenever opportunity Ofiors or promise of
Buccess ia reasonable. L would not advise
the running aftor of every project because
it is new. nor would denopnco rational
conservatism, but we should be cautious not
20 deny everything that does not chance 10
have fallen within our own personal expe-
rience. Tho now and startling discoveries
which burst upon tho world from tine 10
timo, warn us that We may not have known
everything before. p.5.-l

The quality of American cheese must be
improved so thar il will be sbhght after on
this account in all the markets in Europe.
There is no reason Why American factory
choose may not become as noted in its line
as the wines of JohapIsburg, tho porcelain
ofSeyeres, the sword Blades of Damascus,
or tho shawls Of Cashmere. We can com.
