Archive image from page 537 of Dairy farming being the. Dairy farming : being the theory, practice, and methods of dairying dairyfarmingbein00shel Year: 1880 464 DAIRY FARMING. Tlie annoyance and exjiense of makinj; shipping'- boxes by haud-labourj iu the cbeese-makiujj dis- tricts, led to the inven- tion of Harris's cheese-box bending machine. This has proved its practical value. With it more than twice as many boxes can be made, and more uni- formly, in the same time, than in the ordinary way. In niakiiig large quantities the cost of the labour has been reduced, by the use of this machine, from 2 cents and over, to 1 cent per box. It is made by whitman and Burrell. The machine with one cylinder, which makes two sizes of boxes, costs 35 dollars; and with two cylinders, to make five sizes, 45 dollars (Fig. 276). In this cha])ter the records of the United States Patent Office have been frequently referred to, as giving the best available data as to the number of Fig. 27G.—Chkese-box JI dairy aj>jiliances of various kinds produced in America. But this is far from the tnitli, as many improvements are made and new articles devised, of different degrees of im- jwrtance, and which get ' vffi' 1 more or less into general j • I use, for which no patent is ever sought. Some of those herein described are of the number. Calculating from the known relations between patented and un- patented articles in other branches of mechanical in- genuity, it is estimated that prior to the year 18S0 the number of different dairy ajipliances produced in the 1 nited States exceeded eight thousand. And such is the progress in this department of the dairy industry, that before these pages are in tyie there will probably be some valuable addi- tions to the long list of American dairy inqile- meuts and machinery.
