MANTUA CoRREsPoNDENcE-

A cheese factory at, Maptua Corners
is now in successful operation, under
the superintendenee of 6. T. Hinkley.
At present the milk of about 400
seewsiis manufactured, making 700 or
800 pounds of cheese daily. Elmer
Frost, in the northwest part of town,
and A. G: Sheldon, in the southwest
part, also receive and manufacture the
milk from several large dairies in their
Immediate vicinity, and but few pri-
vate dairies can now be found in
town: New cheese is now selling at
1615 cents, and butter at 40 cents.
The "powers that be ? in the neigh

force the stock, law, and it is sincerely
hoped that the loose. stock in Mantna
will frequently stray over the town.

abundantly able to- keep their stock
within their own enclosures, and
