Marshou.-Cheese Factory Meeting.
Prom an account Of a meeting held by
the citizens Of Marshall to consider the
establishing = cheese factory, contained
in the Prairie Schooner, we CLEAN the
following interesting facts The Chair
man, Major Blake, thought that stock
raising and dairy would prove more
profitable than raising grain. MIR. John
Ward, having had charge Of cheese
factory in N. Y. for six years, said
the cost of making was from $1.26 to
$500 per 100 lbs; that good COWS would
make from five to six hundred pounds
during the season. A committee was
appointed to ascertain the cost of appa-
ratus and building, to see if a competent
person could be found to take char.e Of
the same. Another committee was ap-
pointed to ascertain the number who
would patronize such factory, and the
number of cows that each would furnish
We consider the enterprise as worthy Of
high commendation, and hope that other
places will follow the example. As we
have had occasion several times to re-.
mark the only way to escape high
freights and do away with the necessity
of 50 many middle men is to build up
all kinds of home manufactures.
