furnished alike, With thv VERY hes, the
market affords. All @! ,ltr apparatus
came from Utica, \. Y. which Is jest
~ noted tor manufacturing dairy
utensils. The Ralph Vat was so iami
liar in its appearance that it seemed like
meeting ali old friend.
We were particularly struck with the
neatness and order in which these
branch factories are worked. The help
are all experienced workmen from
Central New York, and seem as am
bilious as their employers that every
thing they turn out shall be number
one. The bandage is put on in a pecu
liar manner. The ends of the cheese
ale capped, and remain so until the
cheese is sold. No grease or coating of
any kind is used, but the cheese is
turned and otherwise cared for every
day.
The branch factories are all under the
supervision Of Mr.. 3. The rennet,
bandages, and annotto are all prepared
at the factory, and the milk at each
branch is worked by definite and GER
tain rules. The cheese looked and
tried as if made in one place.
The dav we visited the establishment,
(the Goth Of June,) 10000 pounds of milk
were received at the different branches
The amount during the season has been
as high Il, 81 500 pounds. This was
converted into 80 cheeses, the weight of
each being about 95 pounds. making the
daily average about one and quarter
tons.
Manufacturing was commenced the Sth
day of May; and at the time of our visit
the factory OH Mr.. BIS farm WAS well
filled with as fine looking cheese as it
has been our lot to see in many day.
Owing to the location Of the factory,
there is no decaying whey or other
Impurities, as ia the case waere the dry
but the sweet clover, new mown hay,
and ripening fruits, render fragrant the
fresh atmosphere Of heaven.
The building has the advantages of
sides, leaving a space Of eight inches in
the air continually rushss from the
ground to the peak. counteracting the
influence of the sun almost entirely
Thus, by The skillful management of
Mr.. B., the product of the milk of more
than one thousand cows is brought |
under one roof and the Interests of the
many patrons, it would see,n, results in
the mutual benefit Of all.
The country in which the factory and |
its branches are located is the finest !
grass country we have in the West. All |
its grasses seem to thrive here with .
remarkable profuson. Glover and .
and even white clover aud !
Kentucky blue grass, are as productive
here as we have ever seen them any.
where. The quality of the grass is
coarser than in the East; and .
we are informed by .hese Eastern
cheese makers that the milk works
more rapidly here than there.-It seems
TO be a question whether the pasture of
the West will produce us fine, rich
flavor as the best dairy section of the
Fast. This is matter which Mr. Il.
watches with intense interest, and he
be able at the end of the season to give
us all opinion worth having Cor.
