Il Cheese Factory.

Mr.. Willard of the Utica Herald. is one
of the first agriculturists and most careful
observers of the country. Living in the
centre of the best dairy section in the Unit
ed States (IIerkimer county, y. Y. he is
prepared to report accurately the doinss
OF the dairy in all its branches. We take
the following from his medium of commu-
nication, the Herald:
just off the main road and about q
quarter of a mile from the village, is situa-
ted the cheese factory of G.. b. Weeks.
which receives the milk of 600 COWS
The dry-house is two storied structure
100 feet by 2G feet, while the vat and
press room is in a separate building, the
former being 26 feet by 3G feet. and the
latter l3 by Al feet. Everything about
the premises has neat and clean appear
ance. showing systematic and thorough
management this, together with the nice
quality Of goods in the dry house, plac-
es it at once among the first class factories
Only rs hogs are Kept at this establish
ment, and they receive daily allowance
of corn with their whey. The balance OF
the whey Is thrown away. We looked
over the cheese in the dry house. and test
ed number with the trier. They bored
we'll and the flavor was good. Mr..
Weeks, the ecntlemanlv proprietor. opened
his books and gave us every facility tol
obtaining correct information. Statistic.
obtained in this way have some value t,
the public. At some of the factories we
notice a disposition to deal somewhat il
guess work. This may br Il very convcn-
lent way of making things look we'll on
paper, hut unfortunately the public Is sus
piciouS and will not credit everything
The number of wine gallons of milk re-
ceivcd on June 18th, was 1.iSl, which
was made up into eleven chcc-cS, prcsse,
in 2o-inch hoops, 81 inches high, and
weighing i'll groSs. | ,214 lbs
Mr.. Weeks informed lis that the dairic
delivering milk at this factory vary in siz'
from five to thirty COWS, and that the av.
