SUNDAY CHKssK MAxro-MrL BAD.


oER, Of Lindenyille, has been running a
cheese foctory, as y well known 10 many Of
our citizens and being man whose life Is
regulated by principle rather than expediency,
he had, on the start, to meet the question Of
running bis factory on the Sabbath-a ques-
tion that has excited no little attention aud
discussion. His experience, as we have II
from hls own lips, may he Of interest on this
inooted aubject The factory was started with
the determination of observing the sabbath.
The experiment was an untred one to him,
aud the weight Of testimony drawn from the
experience and practice of others, did not ia.
vOr his uecision Other. nelghboring iacto-
rics, looked on, aud in u rather jeering spirit,
made the inquiry-how stands your sunday
iactoryf Patrons were opposed, and doubted
the cOurse--Gvcn threatened to withhold their
business favors But none of these things
moved Mr.. BADGER, or changed his course
aud as 1t was SOON seen that there was no vail
aDleness with him, patrons began to cast
about, for the best mode oradapting themselves
and their dairy management to the existing
state OF things. Tue course taken was, to use
tue Sunday mornings milk for butter making
raising of calves, &C. Most OF them found
this valuable disposition OF that part of the
DAIRY products, Us in some cases the butter
was wanted in the family, and in none was II
attended with comparative amount Of sucri-
flee or loss worthy Of consideration, This
single milking was all about which there was
any question or difficulty, as that of the eve.
ming stood until Monday morning, and was
then turned in with the new h,ilk OF the morn
Ing, and all went to the factory together
Those who had been opposed became satisfied
with the course, and every thing became as
pleasant and satisfactory, rs il the common
course Of Sunday labor had been entered upon
aud followed, as was at first thought best. =
Further than this, Sir. Badger had the testi.
mlony Of some ot those among Lis patrons
who had no religious scruples, that his course
was perhaps the better one. 1t was found
that tue Sunday evenings milk could he kept
over night, and in no instance was there d
batch oi cheese injured or spoiled that could
be fairly traced to the adoption OF the Sunday
plan. This is sufficiently attested to by tic
uniformity of the prices at which the cheese
was sold Thus we have the testimony OF
'uis estaVllshiuenl 10 tue pTdcllcaOlllty Ot con
ducting the cheese tactoIy business on tht
| principle OF the observance OF the Sabbath
and in obedience to the law that ineulcatcs it
We have thought that this statement and the
experience upon which it is based, might mo-
be without its influence in this day of cheese
factories, and when public sentiment seem:
about to settle down upon the conclusion tha
cheese making for the whole seven days o.
tue week, is necessity, aud therefore allowa
bic and justifatle In our code of morality.
