THE COST OF BOARD EENoEs.

FRIEND MooRE:-Your ~correspon-
dent, R., in his article "Hedges vs.
Board Fences in the Rural Of June
%, aIludes to an article written by me
and publishedin the Rurat Of May 81,
and says, sebut did not tell us the .ex-
pense.o Now 1 like what he says
about hedges. It is truly a serious
question 6what r we to do for fenc-
ing hereafter?" tits said, a~ndprobably
with truth, that there is not fencing
timber enough in Ontario county to
renew its fences. But it appears to
me that his article may lead many into
error in regard to the cost Of board
fence. Let US not magnify the evil,
but put the best faceon it we can. My
pattern for board fence, as giveni the
article alluded to, contains with a ten
inch bottom board,) 40 feet Of boards
to the rod, which, at $40 per thousand,
is 40 cents; nails We viii call 2 cents
they win not exceed that. With
163 feet boards, two posts will be re-
CURED for a rod. If these are split
out andhewed, they cannot be estimat-
ed at over st cents each, making 123
cents to the rod. Then, if two men
can build 20.rods in a day with wages
at 81, board 25cts. each, how much
does your fence cost? Exactly 81 cents
per rod. But suppose that good boards
cost las they do in many places,) $14
per thousand, the posts 123 cts. each,
and two men at the above wages build
only Is rods per day, your fence viii
then cost only 81 per rod. Figures
are very useful, and in this case they
will not lie.
But go onwith your hedges, brother
R. am planting Usage Orange hedges
too, and think much Of them. II.

CHEESE MAKING.


An inquiry was made through the
Rural not long since, about making
and curing Herkimer County Cheese
for market. In answer, a ~correspon-
dent says he thinks the heat Of the
milk when ready for the rennet, should
be from "a to SO degrees. According
to our experience we should set it at
100 degrees. IF the rennet is good,
the milk viii curdle hard enough to cut
in 80 minutes. It should then be care
fully cut with a curd cutter, made for
the purpose. After the whey, which
rises, is dipped of, (which is done by
putting a strainer over the tub,0 the
curd-should again be broken with care
full handling, as too much squeezing
works away the richest part of the
curd, which viii be readily seen by the
whey being white. The whey first
dipped off is put into a tin heater, set
in a kettle of water, either heated by
"a dairy stove or an arch built in the
dairy-room for the purpose; the former
mode is preferable. While the whey
is heating, there is ample time for
working the curd fine, so that it will
scald evenly. The heat Of the scald-
ing whey, after it is dipped on and well
stirred with the curd, should be from
100 to 104 degrees. A thermometer
is very convenient for ascertaining the
degree of heat needed. When the
curd feels alittle tough, or win squeak
between the teeth, it is sufficiently
seaIded. 1t shouldthe be dipped from
the tub to a sink with a rack raised
enough from the bottom to let the whey
pass of through a tin pipe at one end.
A strainer is placed over the sink for
the reception of the curd. Work it
till the whey is well worked out, when
it is ready for the salt. The quantity
of salt necessary can be ascertained as
wellby the taste as byanyrule. Some
say one pound of salt to forty pounds
curd which think rather high.
AS for mode of pressing; there are
several kinds of presses; but the OBJ
ject should be to press the whey all
out before the rind forms. The press
ing should continue for twenty-four
hours, in which time the cheese should
be turned twice into clean cloths.
When the cheese comes from the
press, it should be creased and band
aged. The grease most suitable is
made from whey cream, churned into
butter, and tried in an iron kettle over
asloE fire until it becomes clear like
oil; then a little Annatto is added t.
give the; cheese the proper coloring.-
Before putting on the bandageit should
be dipped into the grease and rung out
to give it the color of the sides Of The
cheese. Cheese must be turned anC
creased every day, to keep them from
moulding. Care should be taken tina
they do not crack, on account Of tn,
cheese fly, which is a troublesome in
sect among cheese, if not well attend
ed to. .B-CaU0 8
