J.L. MEADE, formerly of this place but latterly connected with mines in

The Dairy Business --
Dairying is on of the leading, and, when properly carried on, most
profitable industries of this state…There are properly 3 kinds of
dairies, milk, butter and cheese dairies. The first mentioned are
generally close to towns and cities, the inhabitants of which are
supplied with milk from them. Butter dairies are where the cream is
churned and made into butter. The cheese dairies are the most important
in this country, and also the most difficult of management…Mr. Albert
WILLSON, of San Felipe, has kindly furnished us with much of the
information we shall make use of below. Mr. WILLSON milks 80 cows and
finds that the milk from each cow makes from 400 to 500 pounds of cheese
annually…Mr. WILLSON ascertained that the proceeds of his cows last year
were $51 each. $21 of this will pay the expense of milking,
cheese-making, feed, etc., which leaves a net profit of $30 to the
cow…One man milks 22 cows and for his services receives from $25 to $30
per month. One cheese-maker does the work in an ordinary dairy, for which
he gets from $35 to $40 per month…The largest dairy in this county is
situated between Hollister and San Juan and is owned and conducted by
George F. MITCHELL. He is milking at the present time 180 cows, but has
milked as many as 215. Last year he manufactured 93,500 pounds of cheese,
which commanded a ready sale in the San Francisco market…E.A. SAWYER,
DONNELLY, DUNNE & Co., Francisco ROSA, Henderson BROWN and others have
dairies in this county…

**Personal Notes --
-John McCLOUD is visiting with his brother, E.A. McCLOUD.
-W.F. REYNOLDS, carriage maker, etc., has removed with his family to

-John RUPE, Esq., returned last Tuesday from Missouri with a brand new
wife.
-J. BOLADO, one of the leading stockmen of this county, and Frank
SIVERRA, of Tres Pinos, favored us with a call this week.
-P. FITZPATRICK left here recently for Arizona. He writes us that he has
located at Globe City, Pinal Co., which is a growing and prosperous
place.

Dr. E.A. CREPIN, late of San Luis Obispo, and a brother of Dr. H. CREPIN
of this place, has removed to Hollister to locate permanently. He has
entered into partnership with his brother, with an office at the
residence on 6th street. Dr. E.A. CREPIN is a physician of wide
experience, having had charge of the St. Louis hospital in 1867.

Sheep -- From J. BOLADO, Esq., we learned some additional facts about
sheep, which we herewith append as a kind of continuation of the stock
article on the outside of this paper. Mr. BOLADO lives about 11 miles NE
of Hollister, and near the Quien Sabe valley. He has a large ranch, well
improved and stocked. His business is not so much raising stock as it is
buying and selling sheep. He and his partner, Paul HUSSON, do a large
butcher business in San Francisco. Mr. BOLADO attends to the buying
department and ships from Tres Pinos from 500 to 600 sheep every week. He
keeps on his ranch, however, from 2000 to 5000 head of sheep. Most of
these are kept for their fleece, the fat wethers being sold after
shearing time for mutton…Mr. B. thinks French merinos are the best sheep
for this country. Their fleece is heavy and they have the size and
requirements to be profitable…

**San Juan Items --
Our city has been quite dull of late, on account of the prevalent horse
disease of epozootic, causing the withdrawal of the street cars…We have
been visited this week by the veteran dentist Dr. H.P. SWAIN of
Watsonville. He was a welcome visitor, not only to the molar-afflicted,
but to every one who appreciates the company of a kind, honorable and
affable gentleman.
