A New way of Making Cheese.

In a conversation recently with an
Intelligent gentleman, one interested in
all tafan processes and practjc,ll la
miliar with many parts Of farming. he
related the manner OF making, or
rather pressing, cheese, practiced by a
neighbor of hls-a woman skilled in
household economy, and famous for her
nice cheese. With the number of cows
usually kept, 1t takes three days to
make a cheese. Her former method
was to run up curd each morning
keeping them until the third day, then
mixing old and new curds together,
and putting them into the hoop and
pressing. Her practice is now TO run
up the curd aud put it into the press
at once, the hoop being about one third
full. The next morning the second
curd is run up, that which was in the
hoop was taken out, the cloth changed.
placed 10 the hoop again, the top of 1t
then scratched or broken with fork.
aud the secund curd put in, when it is
agan placed in the press. where il re
mains all day. The third morni ~
curd is then run up, the cheese TAX, u
from the press, turned, the surface
hacked up with fork, aud the third
curd again sliced OF, bringing the first
curd in the middle of the cheese. II is
then pressed sufficiently, taken out aud
placed in the curing-room. by this
process, the work each morning is
cleared all away, and a good>slzed
cheese is produced, OF superior quality,
and one az firm aud solid as il ali were
placed 10 the hoop at one time-4Huiae

The irst Teiesraphic Instrument.

Al Interesting relic Of the early days
of teiegraphy has, it is said, been dis
covered in Morristown, n j. 1t is the
first instrument by which messages
were received and sent by the aid of the
electric current. When Prof. Morse
was experimenting on the power and
capahliify of electricity as adapted TO
the transmission OF words. he spent
large ..afetloa Of his tine II Morristasn.
where he was assisted by Alfred Vail,
Esq, practical mach nlst aud iuven
tor. At the Speedwell Non works of
that town, then owned 81 the father of
Mr.. Vail, the experiment on the wires
aud on the construc ion ot suitable IN
struments took place. On the compile
ton of the experiments and the re-
moval oi' Mr. Morse TO Washington to
bring his invention before Congress,
Mr.. Vail accompanied him, aud, re
ceiving the appointment of assistant
superintendent Of telegraphs, he was
stationed at Baltimore at that end of
the experimental line. The instrument
nuw at VI ,rrlstuwn was one If two
taken from MorrIstown hg Morse and
Vail Morse using Que Ut Wash in gton.
and Vail the other at BsItimore The
first message sent was the uow wei!

which Morse transmitted to lai! Int
the first public message was tIie vs.
of the nomination of Polk to- the Pre.i-
dency by the Il liimore Convention ul
1914. sent by Vail to Morse. These
Instruments were in canst n use for
Xix years, when Mr. Vail. returning to
Morristown, brought his with him. aud
where il has since remained. IN the PCS
session OF his family. Mr. Vail, dylug
soon after. his instrument was specially
left. by a clause IN hi- will, Ia his eldest
son az heir loom, whsle parts of IN
s'ruueuts made during the experims

u request that hc would give them at
some future day, To the New Jersey
Historical Society. The old instru.
ment works as we'll as when first made.
and Saturday message was sent to
New York, and reply received at

Of the instrument was also tax ~, ard
