Cheese FACTORIES Eagt and west.


For about three months past have been
travelling most of the time, and have thus had
an opportunity to investigate the Cheese Fac
tory business in several sections. Some ask
of me ''Don't you think the Cheese Factory
business is rather running out?"
On the whole. I think not. find many
Factories that have been started by merchants
or dealers, in or near large villages, where
there is more or less of local demand for
milk, cream and butter, have failed for the
want of patronage. also find that in some
sections, too many Factories have been start
ed, and that from this cause some are shut
up, and others running much below their Ca
pacity. While on the other hand, l find the
great bulk of cheese in all the old dairy sec
tions is made at Factories, and wherever new
territory opened, it is the Factory and not pri-
vate dairies that are doing it.
Ten years ago nearly all the cheese from
the Western Reserve of Ohio found market in
the west and southwest, Chicago, St. Louis,
Louisville, and Cincinnati, were the principal
shipping points. Now we find Wisconsin
cheese competing with that from Herkimer
county in our New York market, and even the
southwestern market is being supplied by
Factories nearer home. Within the past year
several Factories have been started in south
ern Indiana within twenty miles of Louisville,
These have run successfully during the sum
mer and are expected to continue in opera
tion during the winter. Gradually the de-
mand from these sections has fallen off, till
now the great bulk of Western Reserve cheese
finds its way to the New York market, but
they must be content with one ortwo cents
pound less than the Herkimer county, dairy
man realizes for his cheese. But this is in
part, at least, made up in butter, for fad that
which is the general rule in Ohio,
is the exception here.
At another time will speak of points of
difference in the manufacture, and different
methods of the same BENJAMIN.

WIDE-TIRED WHEELS.

This is another point which we are very apt
to overlook. greatly to our disadvantage. We
suffer ourselves to be guided by wagon
makers, and the wheel wright knows very well
that he lives by his trade, and that wear and
tear is the life of trade. He serves himself
when we are suited with narrow wheels. A
set of wheels with four. inch or six-inch rims
and heavy tires costs to make considerably
more than a set two and one-half inches wide;
but an extra price is always put upon them.
They are well worth it. A wagon or cart with
a six inch tread will take heavy lods over soft
meadows and hardly leave track, where a
nArrow-wheeled wagon with similar load
could not go at all. On country roads such
broadtread vehicles destroy ruts, and act like
rollers, making the roads agreeable for light
carriages, and keeping them in much better
order throughout the year. 1t would be
real blessing to every STATE of the Union to
put so heavg tax on narrow wheels upon
heavy wagons and carts tfat they would be-
come quite obsolete. Millions of dollars would
be saved to the people or each State, in re-
pairs of roads, in repairs Of wagods and in
horse-hesh.

Johns Visit to Jefferson.

T. Il. HozOelLs g. Cos Stationery Store.
-Pyeba1atfOHS for tie H0lidayS.-Head
Quarters f0r 81. Nicholas.
Mr.. EDIToR:-We were at the "Hub'' the
other day, and having heard considerable, in
various ways, of the Sentinel establishment
there, had some curiosity to see the inside
of the Stationery Store of j. A. Howells
& Co., Jefferson.
Having some time at our disposal, we
did not know how to put it to better advant-
age than by taking look around this estab-
lishment, and we're wellrewarded. To cas-
ual observer there would not appear to be,
such very large stock of goods, but to know
all about it a person must take time and look
around. A child let loose among the toys, in
that department, would think he was in fairy
land; for boys and girls there is almost every
thing that they. could wish, and in addition
20 this, their holiday goods are now arriving,
and the question is, where can they put them
all? The book shelves are repenished from
time to time, and the assortment is very good,
considering the place. Among the books
there we noticed complete set of Dickens,
bound in cloth, for SIS; "Laurel Leaves" a
splendid gift book, as are also "America IL
lustrated, "a Tour through the Pyrenees,"
the Leopold Shakespeare and Shakespeare
bound in sheep-skin; "Hume's History of
England" "Bapcroft's History of Ethe United
States" centenary edition, "Millman's Glib
gEAI,o,,,I,,,J. Of
land, ETC., etc. The children are not forgot
ten in the way of books either, as there are
all kinds to suit young and old. 1t is seldom
you see in country stationery store such
large stock of paper and envelopes as is here
found, and we do not think the equal can be
found in any place IN this section. They have
ore particular brand of commercial note man
ufactured expressly for them, called the Sen
tinel Mills Note" that is of excellent quality
and cheap as to price. A full stock of fancy
Papeteries of latest style can always be found
on their shelves. 1t would be useless to enr-
merate all the articles to be found at this Store
but that case of gold pens is worthy of men,
ton, above all other things. MIR. HowellS
was in New York recently and bought $500
stock Of John Foley. These are an excellent
pen, and are quite reasonable. In addition
TO all these, complete stock of fancy goods
is always kept on hand, such as vases of al
kinds, pictures. and frames, stereoscopes and
views, microscopes, motto frames, cards and
all sorts Of games; violins, in price from 81 to.
sig, guitars, strings and fixtures, card receiv-
ers, and new lot of diaries for 1873. Those
desiring to make Christmas gifts will find per-
forated board of all kinds, notices, canvas,
patterns, etc, to make them of We spert
so much time looking at the sights on the
ground floor OF this establishment that we
were obliged to leave the explorations of the
second and other foor but we understand
they have full and complete stock OF wall pa
per and border. We might of course, tell of
hundreds of other things we dIa see, but will
leave you to find them yourselves. JOHN.

HOME HURT.

If had known in the morning
How YEARLY all the day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind
I said when l went away,
I had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
But we vex sour own"
With look and tone
We may never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
I may give you the kiss of peace,
Yet it might be
That never for me
The pain of the heart should ceasel
How many go forth in the morning
That never come home al night!
And hearts have broken
By harsh words spoken,
That sorrow can ne'er set right.
We have careful thought for the stranger,
And smiles for the sometime guest;
But oft for "our own"
The bitter tone,
Though we love ''our own" the best.
Ali lips with curse inpatient
All brow, with that look Of scornl
'Twere cruel fate,
Were the night too late
To undo the work of morn.

Regetta's Thanksgiving
From the New York Observe

sT wish there wasn't any Thanksgiv,

thankful for, but I"-and she tossed her
brown hair on one side, and threw the
raisins she had been picking, with a jerk,
iuto the bowl waiting to receive them, and
also over the table md the floor; for what

fly about when they were being tossed ia
such a fashion
''Did you ever see the like of it y Re-

Mamma says Peggy Hopkins is con-

nothing to eat but what people send her.
@WeI, she dosn't have to broil herself
to death cooking it; somebody does it for

and tough to feel much of that" and
Regetta laughed at what she thought bit
of pleasantly, and tossed the raisins she
had been gathering up into the bowl. 81
