A FINE DA1RY.-Being in New
Orleans, we last week had the
pleasure of visiting the celebrated
Melrose Dairy of Mr.. r. A. Cor~
bin. 1t is situated near the Ma
pOle0n Avenue car station, and
has the best arranged stable we
ever saw. Mr.. Corbin has nearly
200 COWS, of the best breeds, fully
three.tourths of them being fully
acclimated, and many of them
were raised on Mr.. Corbin's farm
on the Jackson railroad. Of the
immense quantity of milk which
he gets from his dairy, Mr.. Cor
bin sells about 200 gallons daily
in his two lunch houses-on Camp
street and corner of Gravier and
BarOnne streets. His COWS are
pastured during the day and at
night put in clean, well-arranged
stalls, and the animals are all
grOomed daily like race horses.
With such care, they cannot fail
to give the best of milk-some oil
them as much as five gallons per
day. Such an institution is an
honor to New Orleans, as well as
a great public convenience, for
the Surplus over the amount sold
III his lunch houses is retailed to
the general public by wagons.
