The ^K^'^^'ix fi'"^*' includes the oldest factories. We take, as an example of these, the Whitesboro' Fac- tory, Oneida County, , the property of Dr. L. L. Wight, who holds a high jilace among American dairymen. Doubtless, establishments more com- plete and convenient in some resjjects exist, but we have selected this because it is a very good representative of the better class of American factories, and happens to possess the best curing- house we remember to have seen in the United States. The delivery window (Fig. 277) is but a few feet above the road which rises in front of it, so that while the milk can be poured into cans on the weigh- scale (1) without the aid of a hoist, the weighing is still somewhat higher than the vats (2), allowing the milk a good fall when discharged into the latter through a conductor pipe from the weigh- can. The milk vats (2) are four in number, con- tain about 500 gals, each, and are heated by steam, and cooled by a good supply of water. Opposite these are laid two iron-capped truck-rails (6), ex- tending from the making-room over a low plank bridge into the curing-house, which is a separate building. A sink (7), in which the curd is placed for drying, runs on this track, on the other side of which are two " Fraser" piesses (5), and over it a McAdam curd-mill (4), driven by a 2 horse-power oscillating engine (3), which also pumps water for the boiler. By the arrangement shown the sink can be run under the mill for cu
