THE CHEESE FACTORY.

A GREAT OUTPUT. This season has been tho most busy ever seen at the Cheese factory, which is taxed to its utmost capacity, and Mr Hartstone has had to refuse supplies from several settlors. _ Some were even anxious to bring milk from Kumeroa, but Mr Hartstone does consider it could bo brought all that distance without injury for, cheesemaking purposes. At present 860 gallons a day are being converted into cheese. The price paid this season is 2,hi and all the whey returned. Mr Hartstone is consequently not keeping a lot of -pigs as formerly for consuming the whey from the factory. The cheese made by Mr Hartstone is maintaining its high reputation and one Wellington firm alone have arranged to take 30 tons of the season’s make, five tons having been already delivered to them. It is intended to put in another vat for next season so as to enable the factory to overtake the increased supplies of milk now offering, settlers evidently becoming alive to the advantages the factory now offers in the able hands of Mr Hartstone, who with his family, are hard at work early and late and sparing no effort to maintain the high reputation their article has already achieved, not a single complaint having been received from the many customers of the factory. The sizes made this season are 201bs to 441bs and there are over 16 tons in the cheese-room.
