The Dairy.
AT the request Of some Of the members
of our Farmers Club and other citizens OF
our county, who seem to be interested in
the Dairy, am willing TO give some facts
and statistics that l have gathered within
the last three years, in relation to butter
and cheese making by the factory system.
Cheese making began In Herkimer
county more than SO years ago. Its
progress was at first slow, and majority
of farmers thought it hazardous venture,
and that over production would be the
necessary result. The fact, however, soon
became apparent that the cheese makers
were rapidly out-stripping in wealth their
neighbors who were engaged in grain
raising and mixed husbandry aud to
this important fact, the farmers Of our
county seem to be just waking up. The
uncertainty Of our wheat crop, and the
very low price Of corn, seem to invite the
farmer to some other branch Of more
promising return, for the high price Of
labor, and the fertilizers we are obliged to
