A New KIND OF CHEESE An es-
teemed friend, in whose receipts we have
great confidence, has kindly furnished US
with the following method Of making
good cheese Boil good white potatoes,
and when cold, peel and mash them till
not lump remains. To FIVE pounds
thus prepared add pint and half of
sour milk and as much salt as may be
deemed necessary 10 season the mess.
Having worked it well, let il be covered
from two TO four days according TO the
state OF the weather; then work again,
make the cheese the size you like and
then let them dry in the shade. After
they have become sufficiently dry, place
them in pots or pans, and let them re-
main fortnight or month. In this
way cheese of a most excellent quality
ma, be made, and what is of no small
consequence, it can be kept for years
without the least deterioration from the
effects Of shippers, provided it eau be
kept dry. A friend who has had the
pleasure of eating cheese prepared in,
This manner, speaks of it in the highest
terms. Maine Farmer

Discovery OF INDIAN CoRN.-Pre>
yously to the settlement Of the Puritans
in New England. they formed parties for
the purpose of exploring the country.
Captain Miles Standish. who may be
called the hero Of New England, COM
manded one Of them consisting of slx>
teen men.-ln their progress they met
with several small hillocks supposed by
them to be burial places for the Indians;
but as they advanced finding many more.
they closely examined them, and discov-
cred that they contained Indian corn,
Being buried in the ear it excited their
curiosity, aud by some Of the party it
was thought a valuable acquisition
while Others who ale il in a raw state
did not relish il, and thought II worth
little or nothing. They procured, how
ever, some seed in the ensuing spring.
Sqnanlo, friendly Indian, instructed
them in the culture Ct il. Aud it was
probably the means Of saving them af-
llerwards from famine.

"Another summer" sayst thou, Friend,
And then thy plans shall he
Completed ?-and thy fair resolves
Reduced to certainty
Amid glorious grove safe
When the last sulstice glowd,

And vigorous promise show'd,--
And fearless toward the skies uprose
Its canopy of green
While groups of trusting flow'rets peer'd
Those sheicring shafts between.

And there, in ruin lay
The kingly Oak, and all his peers,

Teach the Boys and Girls to Milk.

The art of milking well is not taught
in a hurry. 1t requires long practice to
milk properly, and therefore all young
people on farm ought TO be shown how
the labor should be performed. 1t is
quite important that this branch of dai~
ryng should be particularly attended to,
for a good mixer obtains at least quar-.
ter more from the same COW than a poor
mixer.
The first lesson to be taught TO young
people is kindness and genteness to
cows. They never need to be treated
harshly in case the business is properly
commenced Cows that have been Ca
lessed aud uniformly well treated are
fond of having the milk drawn from the
udder at the regular time of milking, for
it gives them relief from the distenson
Of the milk ducts. ..
Let young people be put to milking
(arrow cows at first, or such as are to be
dried, and then the loss from bad milk,
ing will be less injurious. The hand
should extend to the extremity Of the
teats, for the milk is then drawn easier.
Young people should be taught to milk
as fast as possible. More milk is always
obtained by rapid mixer than a slow
one. They should therefore be taught
to think of nothing else while milking,
and no conversation must be permitted
in the milk yard. They should 81, up
close TO the COW and press the left arm
gently against her shank Then if she
moves her feet as she sometimes will
merely to change position, she will not
be so likely to put ii into the pail.
In case of disposition TO kick, OF
rather TO raise her foot on accoun, Of
pain occasioned by soreness Of the tea,s
the nearer the mixer sits to her, and
the harder he presses his left arm against
her leg, the less risk will he run Of being
5 injured. ..l.. ..
a Cows may be taught TO give downthei'
milk at once-and they nay he taught to
hold it long while and to be stripped
indefinitely. The best way is to milk
o quick and not use the COW 10 lons
stripping, or an after stripping. .-Moss
o Pioughmdn.
