AMERICAN CHEESE IN EUROPEAN MAR
KrTs.-The Mark Lane (London) Ec-
press, in an article on the Imports OF
American Cheese, says:--"Were cheese
making as well understood in Ameri
ca generally as it is in Europe, the de-
mand would be greatly increased. 1t
is admitted by themselves that com
paratively little of the prodigious
quantity produced in America can be
termed a first rate article. While
many enterprising dairymen supply
an article creditable to the country, in
Europe American cheese is not pur-
chased with that confidence with
which British cheese is named, and
for the reason that the processes have
not reached that perfection which
alone contributes to uniformity of eX-
cellence and distinctiyeness of charac-
ter. When this point is attained, a
taste is cultivated, and increasing de-
mand follows, and profits enlarged"

anything that you don't understand ?"
81 will not, said one, and SO said
each one of the trio.
"Well," said the stranger, Sin my

that?'

"Well, but grass which they had
formerly eaten had, by digestion,

swine, to wool on the sheep, and ON

BEST MODE OF PhNG FrREwooD.-
CDR. Currie, of Hull, writes As
this is the season for laying up a sup
ply of fuel for next year, it may benefit
some of your readers to know that fire
wood for next years use is so much
better when piled with the bark side
uppermost, for wood piled with the
bark side down is not SO dry as when
the bark is uppermost, besides when
you come to handle it again the bark
is liable to fall of, and go to loss ow-
ing to the wet in summer getting be-
tween the bark and the wood"

Flesh In vegetables.

All vegetables, especially those eat
en- by animals, contain certain por-
ton of flesh; for instance, in every
hundred parts of wheaton flour there
are ten parts Of flesh; and in hun
bred of Scotch oatmeal there are
eighteen Of flesh. Now, when veg
etable food is eaten it is to its feshy
constituents alone that we arc in
debted for restoring to the body what
it has lost by muscular exertion. "All
flesh is grass, says the inspired writ
er, and science proves that this as
sertion will bear literal interpre-
tation. No animal has the power to
create from its food the flesh to form
its own body; all the stomach can do
is to Dissolve the solid food that is
put into it; 10y and by the heshy por-
ton of the food enters the blood and
becomes part of the animal that has
eaten it. The starch and sugar of the
vegetables are either consumed
burned for the production of warmth,
or they are converted into fat and
laid up in store as future food when
required. Grass consists of certain
heshy constituents, starch and woody
fibre If a COW, arrived at maturity,
eats grass, nearly, or the whole, of its
food can be traced to the production
of milk; the starch of the grass goes
to form butter-and the flesh
appears as casein, or cheese. When
sheep eats grass, the flesh of grass
is but slightly modified to produce
mutton, while the starch is converted
into fat-suet When man eats
mutton or beef he is merely appro-
priating to his own body the feshy
portion Of grass, 80 porsevcringly col
lected by the sheep or oxen. The

An EASY AND SIMPLE YEAsT.-Take n
jar or quart pitcher and mix in it
flour and warm water with little salt
somewhat thicker than batter, and
about half full Then set the pitcher
in kettle of VAIN water, about the
same temperature, which must be
kept up by adding warm water occa-
sionally. 1t must stand thus for five
or six hours, and be stirred now and
then, until it begins to rise. 1t will at
last fill the pitcher, when it will be
sufficient to make two OF three loaves
of bread by being mixed with more
flour and warm water in the usual way
If you use water half Of which is boil
ing, mixed with half quite cold it will
give You the proper degre of warmth.
One great recommendation to this
bread is that it never turns sour with
