some way of disposing of the factory sewerage in a cheap and 
effective manner. This can easily be done, in anv location where 
the solid rock does not come to the surface, by means of a sep- 
tie tank and filter bed to purify the factory sewage. 
Let us, all together, put our shoulder to the wheel. Let pa- 
tron, maker and proprietor join their efforts for the purpose 
of expelling the causes that contribule the injury to the good 
quality of our cheese, to that end, that our Wisconsin cheese 
will merit the reputation it should have-"The very finest 
cheese in the world." 
DISCUSSION. 
Mr. Luchsinger: I assume that what Mr. Baer has said in
