THE COUNTRY CHEESE MARKET 
United States Watch Company, 
TITTRE was a goodly number of buyers and sellers 
in market for the week ending May 7. About I,o00 
boxes of cheese were offered. The delivery of farm 
dairies was some SKI huxfis, nil skimmed, and some 
made from milk "as blue as a whetstone." The real 
" white oaks " went from 8 to lie.; and those which 
had not been skimmed quite down to the blue milk, 
sold lit II to like. Wo did not see a single lot of 
whole milk cheese among the farm dairies, out some 
of the more skillful manufacturers of skim-mjlk put, 
a cheese on the market that, was quite passable, mul 
which hud this appearance and taste of part whole 
milk, at least, Thu factories, too. were, more Of less 
Bkimmed, hut for the early hay make, were or fair

much cheaper than beef, and a quarter ur saddle be¬

has gone, beyond the reach of common people, anil
