298 On Cheese-making in Home Dairies and in Factories. 
I give here such figures as I have been able to ascertain from 
some of the factories which I have visited in Derbyshire and 
elsewhere. It is impossible to doubt that the publication of such 
figures, and the discussion of them, not only in farmers' clubs 
but in farm-houses at the fireside, will set people inquiring as 
to the varying value of dairy breeds, as to the effect of food on 
the milk produced, as to the influence of soil and climate, and 
the economical effect of various dairy processes — with very 
serviceable and useful results.
