Contributed by our Regular Correspondents A new church in Friendship-We learn that our Catholic friends are intending to erect a new church building in this village the ensuing spring. O. B. LAPHAM, Esq., has donated an acre of ground for that purpose, lying a few rods from the foot of Belfast street. Big Spring Correspondence At a meeting of the farmers interested in forming an association for the manufacture of cheese, D. M. HATCH was elected Moderator, and S. S. LANDT, Secretary. The Moderator stated the object of the meeting. Mr. Uri MORSE stated that in hot weather last June he experimented a little to find out how much milk it took to make a pound of butter. Butter then sold for 12 cents, and we struck the average at the cheese factory last September. The average was not quite 10 pounds of milk to a pound of cheese. D. M. HATCH said that RICHARDSON started the factory under great disadvantages, for it was late before he got round, and a great many cows were sold out of the town that otherwise their milk would have been put into cheese. We ought to form some kind of association for our own protection, as well as for the protection of Mr. RICHARDSON, with a salesman, so as to make returns once a month. We can all see for whose advantage it is to have a factory in our midst. We as farmers can bring our land up to what it should be, for there is more money to be made at making cheese at a shilling per pound, than making butter at the same figures, or yet in raising wheat at the prices we receive for that. Mr. BROOKMAN, from Lodi, was called on by the Moderator and others to give his experience. He did so by stating that he served his apprenticeship in Central New York, went into his remarks as a master workman, explained the grinding of the curd, and the good resulting therefrom, by the machine invented by Mr. ADAMS, which enables us to compete with the English market. Reports show that the demand is still increasing in that market. He read the following to show the state of the market: [Our space is so limited that we are compelled to abridge the letter somewhat, but give all that bears directly on the subject.-Press] New York, January 12, 1878 It was brought out that butter was sold this week in Portage for 7 cents per pound Those present pledged 120 cows to begin with. The following officers were elected: Uri MORSE, for salesman, and D. M. HATCH for Treasurer. The factory to commence business on the 10th day of May, and run till the 15th day of October. J. R.
