The local factory is now making casein instead of cheese. So far as this district is concerned, the manufacture of casoin is an innovation. As to whether it will bo more profitable than cheese is, of course, yet uncertain. The factory hands have now to rise very much earlier, but the day’s work is finished correspondingly earlier.
