Model
Farm Students Visit Cheese Factory Wednesday June 28th 1876. Puslinch
Cheese Factory — This factory, which was totally destroyed by fire last fall,
was rebuilt and set in operation by its active and enterprising proprietor,
Mr. Robert Little, this spring. Mr.
Little has engaged the services of Miss Reid, a practical cheese-maker, who
established her reputation as such, testing her first making on the 10th of
May last, which was declared by competent judges to be an excellent article. On
Wednesday last, Miss Reid was quite surprised by seeing two teams drive up to
the factory, from which alighted several young men. This surprise was heightened when one of the gentlemen
introduced himself as Prof. Brown from the Model Farm, who also introduced to
her, the Professor of Chemistry and several of the students of the
Agricultural College, all of whom were desirous of seeing the factory. She,
being a prompt, energetic, and business-like lady, gave them all the
information that lay at her disposal concerning the art of cheese making, at
the same time expressing her regret that Mr. Little, the proprietor, was
absent. Professor
Brown, before leaving, requested permission to return the following morning
with the remainder of the students.
The whole party seemed to enjoy themselves very much, their behaviour
speaking well of the college. We hope
that this institution may long continue to prosper as it has done heretofore,
as we are confident that the agricultural education given to the students is
both extensive and practical. |
