NEWVILLE CHEESE-FACTORY. 477 the overflow from which runs over flagstones laid beneath tlie wood floor, (Uirrying away any slops which might otherwise have collected there. AVe now describe a factory possessing a pecu- liarity in its construction which, on account of the jtrinciple of manufacture involved, makes it worthy (if notice. The Newville Factory is located near Little Falls, Herkimer County, and has. factory the "shute" (see Fig. 127, page 250) is used when removing the curd from the vats to the sink—an arrangement described at p. 259. The curing-rooms, with the excej)tion of one used in cold weather, are over the making department, and the cheese is carried to them by the hoist (7). This building includes living-rooms for the work-hands. We now come to the description of the system. through the skill of its manager, Mr. A. G. Weatherwax, obtained a high reputation for its goods. The delivery platform is in a shed pro- jecting fi"om the building, under which the waggons stand when delivering the milk. Here a hoist lifts the cans to a certain height, when they are tipped and their contents emptied into the weigh- can (1). At the other end, and within a foot or so of the five steam-vats (2), the floor sinks some 4 ft., so that they may be said to stand on a plat- form, below which, in the lower part of the build- ing, are the sink (."5) and presses (6). In this of manufacture pursued in these associated dairies, and the apparatus used in the work. The cheese- tub, or vat, is first in importance. Among the earlier apparatus of this kind is that known as the " self-heater " vat. It is constructed with an outer case of wood and an inner one of tin. The sides and ends of the latter slope away from the wooden ease to the extent of two or three inches, as shown in Fig. 282, which gives a cross-section of the apparatus.
