Visit to a Cheese FACTORY.
EAST HATLEY, p. Q, June "a, 1868.

EAST HATIEY, 7. @, June "a, 1868.
DEAR CAL:-Thinking perhaps that a
brief description Of a cheese factory might
be interesting 10 many readers of the
Caleoonap, and not remembering of ever
seeing anything of the kind in that pa
per, l will cndcavor to give one:
The factory at this place was erected
recently by DIR. Gilbert, prominent
physician residing in the village of East
Hatley. 1t is a building 3Ox9O feet, 3
stories high, and cost about So, 900. IThe
milk used is brought in by the farmers,
some of whom reside three miles distant.
At the factory the milk is weighed, (of
course Fairbanks scales are used for this
purpose and the amount each one brings
Is credited to said person. The milk is
then put into large vats, which hold
about 1000 lbs. each, and is brought to
81 degrees Of heat, when the coloring
and "ennet Is put in it then has to re-
main nearly an hour to thicken, when it
is cut up and the whey drawn off. 1t is
then put into a large vat and allowed to
drain and the salt Is added. This vat i
on rollers and when the curd is ready
for the presses it is rolled up beside them
and put into the hoops and pressed about
twelve hours. From the hoops they are
taken into the dry rooms, and bound
with cloth. and the date of making put
on each cheese. From this time until
they 90 to market, some three months.
the cheeSes have to be daily turned and
creased. The grease used is got from the
whey. The chcc,es weigh about fifty
pounds when they come from the press,
and shrink about one-twelfth by the time
they are ready for market.
There is about 10000 pounds of milk
brought to this factory daily and is it
takes from elght to nine pounds OF milk
tor pound Of cheese you will see that
some over 1000 pounds OF cheese i the
daily product.
This factory i under the charge Of a
Mr.. Haas OF Utica, y. Y, who appears
to thoroughly understand his business.
Wheu the milk J. brought 10 the fac
TORY tumbler full Is taken from cah
persons can and tested with an in-tru-
mcnt for the purpose which readily

milk otherwise aduIterated, which i Il

A DISHONEST COLLECTOR ExrosED.-
Collectors are proverbially dishonest, and
etomologists are no exception. A short
time ago a collector in Germany, who
had fine collection of beetles, prided
himself on possessing a couple of Goliath
beetles of great value. One day, TO his
dsmay, he found one of the beetles had
disappeared out of the drawer he made
out list of the persons collecting such
Objects who had lately inspected his col
lection, and then set out to visit their
collection. He called on No. | and No.

the cabinet of No. 3, there was Co
Hath of the kind he missed. He said,

Yes" said the collector No. 3 Il had
to pay a large price for it, pray let
me have it in my hand and examine it
more closely" ''Oh, certainly" said
the collector No. 8. As soon as he had
got it fairly in his hand, he broke the
specimen in half, that is, between the
holy and throat, and holding the broken
ends up to the collector, showed him
label, gummed on the inside of the body,
on which was written, ''Stolen from Mr..
R" Foreseeing such an event
might happen, he had placed such label
in the body of each of his specimens
