In addition to the above there were a great many farmers in the county in 1867 who had dairies of from twenty to fifty cows and made cheese at home.
The dairy interests have grown rapidly from the beginning. The county now contains fifty-three cheese factories and creameries, and numerous large dairies. The shipping of milk to Chicago is carried on extensively and with great profit to dairymen. This branch of the dairy business is also comparatively new, but its growth has been rapid, and it is now one of the chief industries of the county. Every railroad station in the county sends its daily quota of milk to feed the great city.
At the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition, J. S. Watrous, of the town of Nunda, placed on exhibition samples of butter made at his factory-the Ridgefield Crystal Spring Factory. The exhibit was awarded a gold medal for its superior qualities-a result particu- larly gratifying to McHenry County dairymen, when it is consid ered that not only the old States of the East were competitors for the honor, but also all sections of the country and Canada.
The dairy statistics of 1877, together with those of 1883, are given below, and fully illustrate the rapidity of the growth of this interest in this county :

HISTORY OF MC HENRY OOUNTY.
AGRICULTURAL SOOIETY.
McHenry County Agricultural Society was organized in 1852. Captain William H. Stewart and Colonel J. M. Strode were ap- pointed on the committee of organization, but most of the work fell on Captain Stewart, who drafted the constitution and by-laws and was the prime mover in the laudable enterprise. He was the first Secretary and Treasurer, and has much of the time since held one or other of their offices. William M. Jackson was the first. president, and was quite energetic in advancing the interests of the society. It remained as an agricultural society till 1874, when it availed itself of the privileges offered by the State, and since then has borne the name of Agricultural Board of McHenry County. For several years after its organization the society held its fairs in the streets or on the commons in different villages in the county, wherever the greatest conveniences were found. They built rail pens to hold the stock, and rented a room to exhibit the fine arts in. At first the receipts were small, but the society grew stronger as the county became richier, and in 1859 it was enabled to purchase teu acres of land, which now forms a part of the fair grounds east of Woodstock. They built sheds for stock, and with- out many conveniences carried on the fair from year to year with considerable success till 1866, when they organized a life member- ship, with an admittance fee of $20. Over 100 names were added to this list, which raised sufficient funds to enlarge the grounds and procure better accommodations, which was done by purchasing five acres adjoining on the south and erecting the agricultural hall, observatory, ticket office, etc.
About the year 1868 the society purchased seven acres adjoining its grounds on the north. This makes a commodious show ground of twenty-two acres. There is a fine half-mile track, and some of the largest fairs in the State are held here. Receipts for the past five years have reached $4,000. Present officers: T. McD. Richards, President; A. S. Wright, Secretary; Captain Bowen, Treasurer. Every year noted speakers, both from home and abroad, are engaged by the enterprising managers of the exhibi- tion, constituting an extraordinary attraction to visitors.
RAILROADS.

body. McHenry County was fortunate enough to be supplied with a railroad among the earliest built in Northern Illinois, and to-day her railroad facilities are unsurpassed by any exclusively rural county in the State.
Every village of importance is located upon a railroad, and every township in the county is either crossed by one or more railroad lines or has one in close proximity to its borders.
The years 1854, 1855 and 1856 were eventful ones in the annals of McHenry County, for they witnessed the completion of three railroads through the county. First came the Galena & Chicago Union Railroad in 1854. It is now the Galena division of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway, and has stations in McHenry County at Huntley, Union and Marengo. In June, 1855, the Chicago, St. Paul & Fond du Lac Railroad reached Woodstock, and the following year it was completed to Harvard, and rapidly built on to its northwestern terminus. It is now the Wisconsin division of the Chicago & Northwestern, with stations in this county at Carey, Nunda, Ridgefield, Woodstock, Kishwaukee, Harvard and Lawrence. It crosses the county from the southeast to the northwest.
While the above road was building, another, known as the Fox River Valley, was in progress through the eastern part of the county, crossing it from north to south. It is now known as the Elgin & State Line Railroad, a branch ot the Chicago & North- western. The principal stations in the county on this line are Algonquin, Nunda, or Crystal Lake, McHenry and Richmond.
Lastly, the Kenosha & Rockford Railroad, crossing the north- ern part of the county, was built in 1861-'2. It is also a part of the Northwestern, and has stations at Hebron, Alden, Harvard and Chemung.
