terprise ontssed into last season, on Jersey
Ridge, BY George Murray, p. L. Mitchell
ADD John Lambert, in the manufacture Of
cheese, still continues to 6ourish hand
somely. Visiting that plsce . few days
since We found NJ. and Nrs. Holcom6, the
superintendents Of the works, busiiy en-.
gsged among the rich curds and cheese,
with every prospect Of doing 6ne sum>
mer's business. Al present The mix is sup
piled by shout one hundred COWS to the
extent Of 1900 pounds per day, which yields
about one hundred and fifty pounds q
cheese. The number Of COWS 10 constantly
increasing, and in short time will be about
one hundred and twesty Ave-when the
daily manufacture viii be about 200 pounds
The work commenced this year on the 12tt
Of April, and 90 great has been the demand
that there is scarcely cheese on hand thai
isovee three or four weeks old. The sale Il
quick st twenty cents per pound, which
yields handsome profit upon the invest,
ment.
They keep about eighty shoats in th.
dairy yard 70 consume the whey. This il
alsoa heavy item Of profit in the business
Since last season . csmmodious ice hous,
has been erected, which was 6lled las
winter. The aeconmodaaieos ere nov
about ~ perfect a they can be, and ther,
never WAS . better show for continuous
prosperity in business. The demand fol
good cheese never fails, and We are glsd h
know that this factory alone will Be thu
means Of keeping several thousand dollar
. year right here at homo, which would
otherwise b cent away for cheese. w
hope other satsrprisipg farmers viii take tht
hint and do likewise. -a-
