CHEESE FACTORIES Kvery Farm With. Fi Soon Have a News & Pickens, Feb. 5.?It is not unlikely that Pickens County io the pioneer County in the State in the cheeao in dustry. There seems to be a growing interest in this comparatively new in dustry, and when it is better under wood, the industry will likely become g?nerai. No well equipped farm with oven as many as five to ten good iuiik cows, will be without a small plant for the manufacture of cheese. Mr. C. G. Voight, who lives in this County, a few miles fioin Easley, in troduced the manufacture of cheese iu this County, and possibly knows more about the industry than any individ ual in the State. Mr. Voight was raised in West Sa lem, 111. He began the study of the industry about fifteen years ago. The first factory he had charge of was at Elgin, 111., in 1892. The year follow ing he superintended the first com bined cheese and butter faotory in the State of Utah. From Utah he came to Virginia, where he remained until about three years ago, where he start ed the first oheese faotory and cream ery in the State of Virginia. This plant was the Tom Brook, looated in the valley of the Shenandoah, and has proven-a great suooess. Mr. M. V. Biohards, land and in dustrial agent of the Southern Bail road, induced Mr. Voight to come to South Carolina, where \o settled at Easley about three jeurs ago. the easley cheese factory. Mr. Voight at once began the con struction of what he believes to be the first cheese faotory in South Caro lina. This began operation in May, 1902. This plant started out auspi ciously and its produot found ready sale at profitable prices. But soon the farmers found that by retailing their surplus milk to the mill opera tives, they could realize moro than the cheese factory paid for their pro duct. The management then deoided to sendjto the country and collect the milk. This was found too expensive as the farmers fr ym whom the milk could be obtained were too remote and too scattered. There was no previous oonjtraot or arrangement made by which the faotory should receive a oto ted supply of milk to keep it in operation. It depended upon volun tary contributions, which proved in adequate for the maintenance of the plant. The result was the faotory suspended operation the past year. So far as the first ohesse faotory in South Carolina is concerned, it must be termed a distinot failure. george's creek factory. I While the Easley plant was in no way a financial success so far as that plant is conoerned, yet it furnished an object lesson to the wide-a aks farm ers who came in oontaot with its oper ation. The farmers saw that the Easley Creamery had closed because of a lajk of milk with which to oper ate. They reasoned that by clubbing together and obligating themselves to furnish a stipulated amount of milk daily, that the obstacle the Easley plant had encountered would be cer tainly overoome. This plan was deoided upon by about a dosen farmers in the George?s Creek neighborhood, situated four miles northeast of Easley. Accord ingly, the George's Creek Creamery was organised last April. It is a small plant, equipped at an aotual expense of $300 or $400. It has a eapaoity of 150 gallons-per day. The milk of a little more than thirty cows goes to the plant, whieh is a good deal less than the full capacity. At present the price paid for milk is about $1.30 per 100 pounds; 100 pounds of milk is equivalent to 12? gallons. In the North the average is ten pounds of oheese to the 100 pounds of milk; in the South about twelve pounds to the hundred. The average in s'orne in? stances in this County has been far above twelve pounds. The bulk of the produot of George's Creek factory is sold in Greenville at 20 cents to 25 cents per .pound and the supply is far short of the de mand. After it is manufactured the oheese stands for a time, from three to six weeks. If used within a short time after it is manufactured it is very mild. There is a growing demand, the fancy grocers say, for just that kind of*cheese. The offioers of George's Creek fac tory are %s follows: E. E. Perry, president; O. H. Carpenter, vice pres ident; R. L. Perry, secretary and treas urer, brushy creek creamery. At Brushy Creek, six miles south of Easley, is to be found another community of progressive farmers that may be termed apt scholars to learn tb,e art of cheese-Tasking ftp IN SOUTH CAROLINA. ve to Ten Cows Will Small !Plant.

They profitted by obser vation at Easley, and by clubbing to gether, they have overcomo the ob stacles that proved the downfall of the Easley Creamery. The Brushy Creek Cheese Factory was organized August 1,1903. It was immediately equipped at a cost of about ?700 and is the best plaut in the County. The first cheese was mado November 14, 1003. A short time af ter this date this factory turned out 61 pounds of cheese from 398 pounds of milk. Mr. Voigt, the cheese ex port, says this is tho finest record of cheese making he has ever known in his long experience. The average in the South for this amount of milk is about 48 pounds. The offioers of thi j plant are: J. W. Rosamond, presi dent; W. C. Pickens, vice president, and C. J. Ellison, secretary and treas urer. hand outfits. Mr. C. G. Voigt has in successful operation on his farm what he terms a "hand outfit" for making cheese. He has also introduced a similar contri vance among some of his neighbors. The hand outfit is a very simple con trivance for the manufacture of oheese and is made in different sizes, with a capacity of 10, 20 or 30 gallons per day. It can easily be operated by a woman. The quality of oheese thns produced is as good as that of an ordi nary plant. The hand outfit saves expense of driving and hauling to fac tories. The cost of the outfit is $20 to $30 or more, dependent upon the capacity. By actual calculation, Mr. Voigt oleared $19.90 on two cows in one month by converting their product in to oheese. cheese in oconee. Three new plants have recently been organized in Oaonee. One is lo cated at Walhalla, known as the Wal halla Cheese Factory. It was organ ized October l?, 19?3 Capital stock $600. H.H. Moss, secretary and treas urer* This plant will be in operation early in the Spring. In the lower portion of Ooonee are two other plants, each of 200-gallon capacity. One is located at Tokeena, the other at Mount Tabor. Miles P. Singleton is president of the latter. All these planta have been organized on the co-operative plan of the farm ers, as they are in this County?in fsot the idea was obtained from Piok ena. advantages in cheese making. Dr. Nesom, of Clemson College, upon being asked the praotioability of establishing a oheese factory in the State not very long since, sent the following letter, which contains many practical suggestions that ought to be helpful at this time, when there is diligent search for new enterprises for the farm as well as the factor' - "I am delighted to hear that the prospects for oheese factories in your seotion are good. I have frequently taken occasion to remark that the principal reason why farms all over the South are decreasing in fertility and value is that our system of agri culture, force? the sale of field crops, instead of animal products. If all that will do to feed to animals were fed on the farms, where it is grown, and the manure returned to the soil, poor lands would soon be a thing of the past, for it should be remembered that all day and sandy lands in this seotion are susceptible to che bigheBt state of fertilization. This is not true of prairie and lime lands. Before we can have oheese factories we must have plenty of good dairy oattle, and before we oan keep these oattle eco nomically we must have good pastures, hay meadows and grain fields to produce all the required food on the farm. Some things produced may be ex changed for others, as the exchange of cotton, cotton seed and milk for cot ton seed meal. . Some seem to doubt the ability of South Carolina farmers to produee feed in abundance. For the benefit of the doubters, I will say that a Northern oattle man, who recently visited this State, told me that oattle could be grown here and maintained at half what they cost in the North. We have the three requisites for any stook country, namely: ? good soil, a warm climate and plenty of rainfall. There is no doubt that dairy cattle are the most profitable of any olass, if they are properly handled, and a ready market is found for their product. The dairy man near the city, where be can Bell fresh, sweet milk, gets most out of the business; whilo those located in tho country and at spaiall towns avo forced to resort to tho manufacture oif butter, and cheese, so as to get the prod note into a eo-?dens ed forai t > enable him to transport thoni to distaut markets at the cheap est possible freight rate. iiuttcr will yield about half as much j as the sale of sweet milk, but when | the cheese factory comes along it will pay as much for the milk as it will bring if made into butter, and the dairyman is relieved of all the trou ble of making and marketing the but ter. Experts claim that milk in this State will make more cheese and bet ter cheese than sauio amouut of milk will in the North. This is no doubt true, and is possibly due to the fact that much of the milk hero is gotten from Jersey and other dairy breeds that give a rich milk, to favorable climatic conditions and luxuriant feeds. Dairy oattle in the rural districts cau ouly be made profitable by using the dairy products in the manufac ture of butter or cheese, and if they cannot be used it is better to discard them altogether and breed beef cattlo, so that the animals themselves may be Bold at a profit for food. In the light of these facts and the advantages South Carolina possesses it will not bo surprising if the State, within the course of a few years, at least produces enough cheese for home consumption, and not .impossible that a surplus will be sold to tho world at large. W. E. Dendy. Experiences of a Wild Steer. Monday morning ex-Sheriff Curt A. j Robinson brought a large drove of oattle to town to be shipped to Cin cinnati, says the Lanoaster Record. Among the drove was a Bteer which might be called "daffy," as it acted in a strange manner as soon no it came in Bight of town. It continued to be come more unruly until the publie square was reaohed, when the several drivers oould not manage the animal and it ran about tho streets soaring rfomen, frightening horses and creat ing excitement generally. After re peated efforts to get the steer to the pens, the chase was abandoned and the animal disc-appeared, Mr. Robin son thinking it had returned to his farm. That night, when the south bound passenger train came in the steer showed up at the depot. The headlight on an engine seems to at traot animals, and the steer came up to the engine. It seemed to be mak ing a careful study of the machine, ooming up almost. Against- the driver?; Engineer Ed Mason had been watoh ing the steer closely, and as he open ed the throttle and pulled out he spat a large mouthful of tobacco juice which landed squarely in the animal's eye. As Mason ohews the strongest of "long green," the dose was a very hot one, and pain made the steer fran tic It reared on its hind legs, plung ed to and fro, and just as the last ooaoh passed it gave one terrifie plunge and landed squarely on the platform of the slowly moving coach. The a tops were oovered with ioe, and, plunging to free itself, the steer's legs were soon so wedged between the guard rails to hold it securely. When Capt. Frank Webb went through the train he opened the rear door, as usual, to see if any one was stealing a ride. Trained railroad men, like the genial Capt. Webb, never have time to stop and consider the "ifs" and 'ands" of a proposition, so quickly taking in the situation he called the train orew to his assistance. "Now," said the Captain, "if we pitch it off and kill it the company will be sued for enough to pay for ten steerB, so we must devise ways to save it." Examination showed that the animal had not been injured, so the orew quickly decided to tic the steer i seourely. This was done with a lot j of bell cord and the animal taken on to Staford, the end of the run. Next morning the train proceeded on the return trip, and when Lanoaster was reaohed the crew lifted out the guard rails whioh held the steer, some stage planks were put up and the steer slid gracefully to the ground, none the worse for his free railroad trip, but evidently gbd to get back home. The steer was driven into the stock pens and next day shipped to Cincin nati. _ Cures Rheumatism and Catarrh?Medicine Free.

Considering that sufficient force had recruited to kill the snake, the four at once fell on the reptile, and after a fchort but tierce struggle the latter was literally torn to pieces. ?Egyptian Gazette.

Vou ma) have the best set of brains in the town, but if you haven't the manners of a gentleman nobody is going to appreciate you. Your manner is the outward indication of what you are within, in the estiaiate of most peo ple, and if the manner is' disagreeable few will take the trouble to examine , iuto you any further. The consensus of general opinion is that the mau who goes about with ! porcupine quills as his mnnuers 1 hasn't any brains worth bothering about. Did you never notice that the men who employ largo forces of intel ligent people Kok at an applicant closely, ask a few seemingly unim portant questions and promptly em ploy or dismiss him? They don't sound his brain depth; they don't ob taiu his biography; they don't inquire into bis s< cial standing; they size him up from his manners, and if he is brass on the surface they dou't look for gold within. The employer knows that if an ap plicant's manner strikes him favor ably it will also favorably strike people with whom he comes in contact in bis work. And nobody knows better than a big business man that a favor able first impression means half tbe sale. People arc apt to think that if there is any place where manners are of little oonsequenoo, it is in business, where cold calculation so largely takes the place of feeling. But the truth is that no where else are manners of suc.? importance as in every day dealings. There is no capital and equipment any young man can have that will pay him better than good manners. There is no possible calling for whioh this doen not better fit him.

Strength is one of the distinguishing attributes of a healthy man. In one of the most beautiful poetic flights known to literature, the inspired singer finds no finer figure to express the sun's majestic rising than "rejoicing like a strong man to run a race." Who has not known such a man, the picture of health, hardy and , athletic, suddenly begin to fail? At first he has a slight cough, which he laughs at. Presently the cough becomes deep seated. The scales tell him he is losing flesh. A little later and the lungs bleed. He grows weaker and more and more emaciated. Each day sees some circum scribing of his activities, until at last he does not leave the house, and friends shake their heads and say, " Poor fel low ! Who would ever have believed it possible? " But what are the doctors doing nil this time ! Doing their best probably, but usually doing no lasting good. The emaciation grows more marked, the weakness more apparent, until at last the sick men hears the sentence, "There's no hope." It is just at this very point of hope lessness that the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has proven the first step to health to many a suf ferer. It cures the cough, stops the hemorrhage, heals the lungs, puts sound flesh upon the body, and sends the man back to the activities of life as strong as ever. It's a wonderful statement, but it is literallv true thst "Golden Medics! Discovery " has cured time and time again when all other means had abso lutely failed to benefit. There is no alcohol in the " Discovery," and it is absolutely free from opium, co caine, and all other narcotics. Persons suffering from disease in chronic form are invited to consvdt Dr. R. V. Pierce, by letter, free. All cor respondence is private and the confi dences of the sick ere guarded with pro fessional privacy. The success of the methods end medicines of Dr. R. V.
