A New ERterprise.

The public will he glad TO know that the
great problem of tne possibility of Trans
porting beef and all kinds Of table meats,
poultry and game, without change, in per-
feet condition, from distant points where
grown and slaughtered, to the great centres
of market and population, has at last been
taken hold of IN simple and practical
way by thoroughly competent hands, and
that its solution has been achieved. The
first step towards practical solution in
volyed the deVising and construction of
simple, certain and effective means for pre-
serving perfectly, while in tranSitu, such
perishable food products as are grown at a
distance and in warmer climates than our
own. About year ago Hon. Nathaniel
Wheeler, of Bridgeport, Conn, was indu-
ced by gentleman who had become inter-
ested to examine the subject. This finally
led to his cOnsenting to take hold of il in
earnest, with view TO a thorough solution
and settlement of this great matter. A
small organization was commenced, Mr..
Wheeler taking the position of president
and active manager. An admirably ar
ranged Iceberg Refrigerator Car was de-
signed aud constructed at New Haven on
strictly scientific principles, based upon
practical experiments, which was compile
ted about six weeks since.
Tue first test made with 1t was by load
ing it with ten tons of fine fat beef, direct
ly from the knife, without previously re-
moving the animal heat, together with the
tongues and livers, parts much more east
ly affected by time and atmospheric inAu-
ences. This meat was slaughtered at Chi
cago on Friday, July 10, and was immedi-
ately loaded into the car, which was charg-
ed with four tons of ice, and then closed
up, and started in regular freight train,
arriving in New York on the following
"Wednesday morning, being about five
days on the way, and receiving no special
attention, nor any addition of ice by The
way. On opening the car, in the presence
Of Mr.. Bergh and many prominent rail-
road, hotel, and market men, it was found
that every part of The cargo, including
some prairie chickens, aud the tongues and
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1875-10-08

livers, were in perfect condition, and as
fresh and sweet in every respect, as when
first slaughtered and shipped.
The ventilation of this car, with its con-
slant downward draught of cold air, kept
uniformly at two degrees above the freez-
ing point, mad carried off the animal heat,
aud all unpleasant odors from the provis-
ion chamber, where the meat was suspen-
ded, which was also so dry that a match
could be readily ignited on the galvanized
iron inner lining. This uniform tempera-
ture always just above the freezing point,
and never below il) and marvellous dry
ness, makes the essential and absolutely
necessary condition for preservation by re-
frigeralion, and is the popularity which
distinguishes the Allegretu Iceberg system
from that Of any other. This ear, Iceberg
Number One, was unoaded, and returned
to Chicago loaded with suiluhie lrcilut, for
which 1t j. also admirably adapted, allow
ing no moisture TO penetrate its carrying
chamber.
On Friday, Aug 20, il was loaded with
nine tons of beef, freshly slaughtered, in-
Guiding the tongues and livers aud The
receivers were loaded with three and a half
tons of ice. The car was closed, ana put in
the train as before, aud started, arriving at
the 81. Johns Park depot on Wednesday
morning, Aug. %, aud was opened in the
presence of a large number of gentlemen
from all parts Of the country, including
city officials, leading hotel, Railroad, and
market men, clergymen, ply Sicians, mem-
bers of the press, fruit dealers, capitalists,
housekeepers, and the superintendent of
some of our great institutions and after
a careful examination every part of the
cargo was found 10 be in the minutest par
ticuars absolutely unchanged, and as fresh
and sweet as ii could possibly be. The re-
suit in both cases led 10 the unanimous
conviction that the question Of transport
ing meat from any distance, no matter
where slaughtered, without change in
fresh state, was finally and forever settled
in the Affirmative. We were permitted
also to examine piece Of the beef brought
by the first tlip, which had been preserved
in an Iceberg refrigerator, which was per-
fectly fresh and sweet, and is likely to re-
main 80 for a much longer time. This test
nus bCNH LiHNN BAN " SChhihs Aht
car to Texas direct to bring on Il car of
beef slaughtered there. Before this is done,
however the car is to he sent to Delaware,
and loaded from the orchards Of Gov. Car
yer with fully ripe peaches from the trees,
and then taken to Chicago where there is
an active demand; thence the car will be
loaded and sent to San Francisco, when ii
will be reloaded with the luscious fully
ripe grapes Of California, and return to
New York, after which it will leave for
Texas, and bring back load of beef.
When these final experiments have been
made, the system for permanent construc-
ton of cars will be decided upon, and the
company will invite the attention of the
public to this great and promising enter
prise, and ask its aid, cooperation and sup
port upon its meris.-N Y. paper.

Thousands Of millions of dollars

shoreham. VT, Cheese Factory,

Mr.. Cook, who, with his family, live in a
portion of the large building, has for the
past few years turned The milk from the
surrounding farms into good, soft, rich
cheese and hard cash. Farmers who are
DESTROYS of engaging in The manufacture of
good factory or dairy cheese, would do well
10 visit Mr.. Cook ir the summer season, and
examine the milk as il goes through the va
rlous stages necessary for turning ii into
good cheese. If recollecl rightly, the
building aud fixtures required a capital of
about four thousand dollars. The factory
is two stories high, the lower or ground
floor being used for the vais and presses,
while The lof1s are fitted up for curing and
storing tho manufactured product. Each
patrons milk as it arrives at the reception
shed, is drawn into large Tin can, weighed
and recorded, and if found all right, is run
into large watts, where, at the proper time,
it is gradually changed into curd. BY
novel and Ingenious contrivauce, the milk
brough; at night is agiated to prevent the
cream from rising.
Over the watts are suspended light frames
of Stat work hinged TO the ceiling above,
and just at the proper height TO reach the
milk when they are in operation. By the
reciprocating action of an upright lever at
tached to a fitting water trough, these agi-
ta!ors pass through the milk from one side
of the vat to the other every three or four
minutes. The water-trough resting at the
centre on pivot, is divided bv a partition,
and a stream of water is brought in from
o,,l oil ;,,g, I,o 81,
the partition at The centre, and when one
end is filled, the trough tips down with the
weight OF the water, moving at the same
time the agitators in the milk. When the
loaded end of the trough is down, the water
runs out at the same time that the other end
is brought in front of the water pipe, which
Don fills the opposite end, when this goes
down like see-saw, and The motion of the
milk is thus kept up all the night long
without the care and watching o: attend
ants. Everything about the factory was as
sweet and clean as one could desire, and the
quality of the cheeses turned out here is
such that the capital thus far has paid about
ten per cent. on the investment, besides
giving the manufacturer good income for
his labor. II recollect Alright about eleven
cheeses are made per day, weighing some
sixty pounds each. Sales have been effect
ed for the early make, but lately the prices
have not been quite satisfactory, and the
lofts are now well filled with cheeses in
different stages of the curing process. The
manufacturer receives about cent per
pound for making, and the number of
pounds of milk required for a pound Of
cheese is now about nine, but it was less
earlier in The season. Cor. ". L. Farmer
