TIE DAIRY BUSINESS IN WEST yIR-
GINA.


Farmer HOOP, of Harrison county, who
Is he owner Of 45O acres Of grass land on
tie West Fork river, near the Marion
county line. has been experimenting with a
cheese factory. Meeting with Mr.. HOOD on
the Ohio River road last evening, as the
train wheeled us along over the smooth
bedded road from Parkersburg to Wheeling,
the REGISTER had pleasant chat with him
on his experiences as dairyman. As this is
AL industry that promises to be an iml Ort,
ant one in West Virginia in the near future,
we give a summary Of the result Of his ex-
pertinent.
Mr.. Hood keeps sixty cows, be pre-
(ers the milk of the old country
stock" as he terms it, to the
improved Jersey or Aldernay for cheese
manufacturing. He says the Jersey is the
best butter COW, but for cheese msnufactur-
ing the native COW is the best as quantity
not quality, is the milk desideratum. From
these sixty COWS he raises sixty calves an
nually, which any year are worth ten dol
lars per head, and this year he sold for thir-
teen dollars and halt each. Each COW
Sul make on an average three hundred
pounds of cheese, which netts b N l2l cents
per pound. He manufactures the int
tadOn Ssiss cheese, which commands
q higher price than the ord'-
nary country cheese, and he finds ready
market for 1t IL St Louis. In addition TO
this he makes each season one hundred
dollars worth of butter from the whey and
iaiiens a number of pigs on the waste
milk.
Tie force necessary to run the cheese
factory including the feeding and milking
OF the COWS, is two men, two women and
boy. lie estimates the total expense at
atooi one-!ourth the receipts on the cheese.
There is a certain and increasing demand
Tor West Virginia cheese as it cannot be
'oid IRON the genuine Swiss cheese. From
eese figures and estimates the owners OF
eF.Hss, Virginia grass farms can readily
0e'ermire which is the most profitable
glazing or cheese manufacturing.

rageous law was in pursuance Of the agi-
tation kept up by Mr.. Blaine as the editor
of the Kennebec Journal, and other Know
Nothings in Maine. A most natural effect
was the springing up Of a bitter and un-
reasoning hostility against foreigners OF
every class, and especially against Irish
Catholics.
Antipathy Aroused.
The antipathy against Catholics was so
much aroused by the writings of Mr.. Blaine
that we find an account of the barbarous
and indecent treatment of Catholic priest
at the town of Ellsworth, Me-, which az
forded striking evidence of how ready the
lower ranks in any given movement are to
supplement the work of their superiors
This story was originally published in a
Bangor paper, but took it as a reprint
from the columns of the Augusta Age OF
August, 1856. 1t is as follows:
We mentioned briefly in yesterday paper
that Rev. John Baptist, the Catholic pastor
in this city had been foully treated BY a
gang of ruffians at Ellsworth on Saturday
evening. We learn that Mr.. Baptist was
staying at the house Of one OF his people,
Mr.. Kent, who lives near the Catholic
Chapel. Mr.. Kents house about o'clock
Saturday evening was surrounded by
large crowd, of whom some twentyor thirty,
mostly Young men, entered the house.
They searched from bottom to top, for Mr..
Baptist, who had retired to the cellar to
keep out Of the way. There they found
him bore him out Of doors, ran him down
the street and having got some distance
from the house, stripped him Of all his
clothing except his pantaloons and in that
condition put him astride fence rail, and
carried him upon it down three or four rods,
when the rail broke. About this time they
began to debate what further indignitles
TO fnfiict most being in favor Of throwing
him into the ditch and leaving him
there. When a light was seen coming up
the street some one said this was the ap-
proach of some one who had provided tar
and feathers. The gang broke up in small
knots. The light approached and 1t proved
TO be the sheriff of the county with some
assistants, though we do not learn that they
were recognized by the victim at the time.
IN one of the knots Of persons Mr.. Baptist
was placed and his garments thrown over
him and thus not recognizing the sheriff ne
was not recognized. The sheriff, supposing
that Mr. Baptist had been murdered by the
gang, proceeded further along the street to
find the BODY. 1t was raining violently at
the time and very dark The ruttians as
soon as rid of the sheriff came together
They then proceeded to smear him with tar
and feathers from head to foot, making
some disgusting personal assaults and using
various degrees Of foul language.
Inquiry of old citizens of Augusta as to
the truth Of this story showed that it was
we'll remembered and was but one of several
outrageS committed during the Know Moth
ing excitement of 1854, 55 and So
