while up on the Meredith hills the great 
Meridale Farms was filling silo by 
horsepower. “So the world do move.” 
Perhaps it may surprise us that the 
total number of cows in New York 
State has not greatly increased in fifty 
years, but our present dairies are bet¬ 
ter individuals to begin with and far 
more liberally and wisely fed. 
There is no more interesting phase 
of our dairying than the cheese indus¬ 
try. Cheesemaking is a very ancient 
art and especially in Europe there has 
been developed a wonderful variety of 
cheese of all kinds and characters— 
cream, and whole-milk, and skimmilk, 
and soft and hard. In America, as 
elsewhere, where cheesemaking was 
long an individual farm proposition of 
no very great commercial importance. 
A new era was inaugurated when, in 
1851, Jesse Williams began the manu¬ 
facture of cheese in a central plant, 
taking in the milk of his six sons who 
operated neighboring farms. I remem¬ 
ber passing the site of this first cheese 
factory. It was a few miles north of 
Rome, in Oneida County. A great 
spring of water wells up beside the 
road and the rymthical thud, as a hy¬ 
draulic ram, throbs on the air. 
Jesse Williams ought not to be 
omitted from the roll of men who were 
makers of history for this humble 
cheesemaker was the pioneer of a new 
system that went far. The factory idea 
spread with amazing rapidity so that 
by 1870 the census reported 1,313 
cheese factories in the United States. 
These early cheese factories were, in 
many cases, very primitive structures, 
often unpainted and with very simple 
apparatus. * It needed only a scales, 
two or three large cheese vats, heated 
by steam or even directly by a flue 
and fire, a curd rake or two, a curd 
mill, a press, a few simple supplies 
and a curing room. The latter was 
usually located on the second story and 
it was hot in summer and frigid in 
winter, but “skipper”-haunted at all 
seasons. In the early days cheese fac¬ 
tories ran only seven or eight months 
a year on account of the small supply 
of winter milk and also because of the 
difficulties of manufacturing and cur¬ 
ing in cold weather. Even yet the 
cheese country as a whole has stuck 
to summer dairying. The history of 
the rise and decline (I will not say the 
“fall”) of the cheese industry in our 
State has in it many of the elements 
that make for romance. In certain 
counties of the State it had a palmy 
career. Little Falls, Utica, Water-

town, and Gouverneur had well-known

the export days it was boasted that 
the price paid on the Little Falls

New York was once fortunate in 
having a man who was twice elected 
Governor, serving his second term dur¬ 
ing the strenuous days of the Civil 
War. In addition he was once the 
Democratic candidate for the Presi¬ 
dency, being defeated by Grant in 1868 
by a comparatively narrow margin. He 
was withal a> man of singularly lofty 
conception of public service, and I 
doubt if we ever had a citizen who 
was a better example of a patriot, a 
scholar, and a devout Christian gen¬ 
tleman. I refer to Horatio Seymour. 
A man of considerable personal wealth, 
he maintained a beautiful farm at 
Deerfield, just out of Utica, and his 
interest in agriculture was very sin¬ 
cere and his knowledge of dairying 
was wide. He was actively interested 
in the still famous Utica Farmers' 
Club, was president of the old National 
Dairy Association, and for many years 
was a popular speaker on agricultural 
topics. In addition he possessed the 
grace of being anxious to learn. Only 
a mile from my home is the fine old 
Angle Farm that for a century, and 
until recent years, had been the seat 
of the family of that name. My father 
used to tell me that this was the first 
farm in all this section of country to 
maintain a really large dairy—forty 
or more cows. The wife and mother 
was a pioneer cheesemaker as well as 
a woman of unusual intelligence and 
character. One day, about sixty years 
ago, a traveling carriage stopped at 
her gate and from it alighted no less 
a personage than the great statesman, 
Horatio Seymour, who had heard of 
her fame as a cheesemaker and had 
come to confer with her as to her 
methods. So for an hour this farm 
woman and this famous man discussed 
the problems of their common art. It 
is needless to add that Mrs. Angle 
never forgot or grew tired of repeat¬ 
ing the story of that great day. 
While writing of Horatio Seymour 
I would ask leave to set down one 
more anecdote concerning him, al¬ 
though it has no connection with dairy 
husbandry.
