SOMETHING ABOUT pArRYrSG.
Prospect For the Locations Of Cheese
Factory In This County.

Factory In This County.
There is move on foot now To
get a cheese factory located near
this place and get our farmers ia
keep mere and better COWS and few
err other aud less profitable stock.
We have finer grazing land than
other places where they make a
speciality of the cheese business, and
there is no reason in the world why
1t cannot be made very profitable
industry for this county. We are
Informed that man who has been
engaged in the business for years,
and thoroughly understands it,,
proposes to come here and build
and equip and run a cheese factory
u he can be guaranteed the milk
from two hundred cows, as it does
not pay for less numb Der. We are
anxious to sec the matter tried, and
believe that il once started IN this
county our farmers will find it a
better Investment than anything
they have tried yet. Take Wiscon-
sin for example, where the land
lies better and is much more adapt
ed for farming than that of our
State, and still the farmers in some
parts have almost quit cultivating
the ground and gone into the dairy
business, and simply Craze their
land and cut hay off it aud only
raise enough grain to do them. We
herewith append some extracts from
letter written by gentleman who
resides at Jamesyille, Wisconsin,
to a prominent farmer of this place
in regard to the cheese business
The Limberger Cheese Factory
near the farm is now getting milk
from two hundred cows. They paw
the farmers 80 cents per hundred
pounds for their milk. One and
half miles from this factory, east.
on William Fleek's farm, they have
built a factory 10 handle the milk of
four hundred COWS, and one and a
bait miles west Of our factory, there
is another that handles milk from
two hundred and fifty COWS. North
OF our factory two and balls miles.
is another that handles milk from
two hundred cows.
Good cows are in demand here.
Why don't you start factory down
on the farm !? Lmberger cheese is
a staple article in the markets of
the world, and will be for all time
to come. The COWS that were han.
died properly last season paid their
owners from s44 to $50 each. With
the pasture and grazing fields in
Preston county, dairylng should be
in full blast. Green county made
in 1893 over 600, 600 los. of butter
and had over 5,000,000 lbs. of
cheese, and 1894 shows 200 cheese
factories in building and in operas
ton. Sheybogau county made 600,-
600 lbs. of butter and had lots of
cheese, 16, 717.40S lbs. The mum.
Der of pounds of cheese made IN
Wisconsin in 1892, was "a, 365,2 20
lbs., of butter, %, 791 ,5l3 lbs. This
is business. Stop blowing and
turning over old Preston's rocks
and stones and watch the cows that
eat the luxuriant grass that grows
IN no other country like yours.
Your land will bericher, your purse
will be full of gold, and no one
thing will ever help the West Vir-
ginia farmer like the dairy. ANY
thing to help the farmer who paws
the taxes and does the hard work
for the world. All he has to do
now here is to watch the cows.
drink good butter-milk, sell Lin.
berger cheese and loan money on
city real estate. Come out. now.
and stay two weeks and look this
COW business up.
Yours truly,
