stances permit them to avail themselves of them if they
should consider such opinion, to be correct,
We were RECENTLY in the p.iyborbood of Rows Greek
in Brown County and hearing that cheese factory WAS
lately put in operation in that section visited it, on the
farm of Mr. James Mills II seems that Mr. Mills and
some of his peiphbors have embarked in an enterpse
which is new in that part as well As in most other parts
of this State but wherever tried il has proved profitable
at least so far as we are aware The factory is fitted u
with machinery and apparatus of the most approyed
kinds and at cost of about $3.50 besides the building
The engine cost one half or more Of that sum- and which
il purposed shall be used to grind feed with also The
cost including freight $3.50 and the press though
powerful and simple is most ngenousy constructed the
which we do not recoeet The moers of this
enterprise have not spared in eGuppng il as well
as the best appointed factories of the East They pur
chase the milk of the farmers delivered at one cent DER
pound equal to eight and cents per gallon which
it is estimated will make one pound of cheese They
make daily four ebeeses weighing about ortv punds each
There is capacity to manufacture at least six times that
quantity
Mr. Mills and his associates who commenced operations
on the I'd day of Juy have tbus afforded their neiobor
an opportunity to practically test the question whether
mixed kind of farming in which dairying NAV be made
prominent feature is not after all the most proftable
1t is calculated that the ouaptity of milk which will
make one pound of butter will make three mounds of
cheese and the price of one cent per pouud for milk
eauiyalept to and cents per pouud for
bnttar An tho l,bo- og mailing tJ I,ter Il s.e5 and
