CHEDDAR CHEESE 



For a hundred years or more this famous 

 cheese has been made and marketed at the vil- 

 lage of Cheddar near Bristol, England. 



In the middle of the nineteenth century a 

 farmer in that neighborhood, Joseph Harding 

 of Marksbury Vale, systematized the manufac- 

 ture and it was his method that became the 

 model for cheese-making in America. In this 

 country it was first made in Herkimer County, 

 N. \ ., where Harry Burrell not only made 

 cheese for the home market, but also exported 

 to England, and his son, David H. Burrell, at 

 Little Falls later developed the machinerv 

 which becfime the standard for the American 

 and Canadian cheese factories.
