horse is idle capital, invested in an extra
hazardous risk, without insurance, and
consuming itself month after month.
Oxen, on the other hand, if properly
treated, are tolerably safe storehouse Of
working power. When not ut work, they
are laying Oh flesh which is worth 20
much per pound in u ready market if We
choose to sell, or which may be taken out
again in the form of hard work whenever
We may call upon it. In case Of accident
We may realize the full amount Of our in
vestment at tho handle OF tho nearest
butcher. An idle OK is active capital,
the investment IS safe aud we'll insured,
and his fodder is pretty certain to get paid
for, either in flesh or in work.
The difference in returns in the two cases
is very important ono, and tho extra
cost of teamstcrs in tho use of the slower
animals is probably we'll compensated for
by the saving in saddlery bills. And after
all, the question of speed is of less con-
sequence than VIC often ina ine it to be.
We have lately had an opportunity to
watch two teams in use IN our nejgbbor-
hood, one Of horses and one of oxsn,
both engaged in similar work (mainly on
the road), and We have como to the con-
clusion, against our precconceived notions,

Lenylng Curtls In the Sinh During the

A1esA' AAA6 S~AVa Ara 1hc 61nA DUx1nG the
Night.
a correspondent who is running but ono
vat Of 200 gallons capacity and making
u? the milk twice day, said he would
like to leave the nights curds, after salt
ing, in the sink until FIVE or six O'Clock
the next morRing. By adopting this
course, moro time will be gained for
sleep, and he inquiries if it will answer to
90 so. We have not experience in treating
large masses of curds in this wa and1
then putting to press. We should think
that some trouble might occur in having
the cheese "face" nicely, and possibly
the whey might not all be readily exrel
led 'Perhaps' by grinding the curds in
the morning, and by using hot cloths on
top and bottom of tho cheese when put to
press after bandaging-as is sometimes
practicel to remedy defects in facing-the
proposed plan might work. At any rate,
we should not hesitate to make the ex:
pertinent. In old times, when largo
cheeses We're fashionable, some made
what was called double curded cfeesc."
On this plan, the curds of one day, after
being run up and slightly sailed, were
tA-~So AL u COOA pAtICo I'LL uoAb mornings
curds were scalded; the two curds were
then ming led together and put to press.
Excellent cheese was the result when the
curds were properly handled and no
trouble in pressing. We should advise
our correspondent, however, in this case,
to obtain large vat and cool the nights
milk properly after it is received and
make cheese but once a day. Making
cheese twice day is slaves life for the
cheese maker, and many affirm that new
milk, right from the COW, cannot be turned
into SO fine favored product as firm milk
properly cooled and cared for that hss
been LETT standing in the vat over night.
In the first case the rank animal odor
docs not have time to pass off and is re-
tanned more or less in the cheese. Per.
haps, however, by exposing the curds to
the atmosphere over night in the sink, az
suggested by our correspondent, this rank
odor would pass of, and, if there was no
trouble in pressing, there can be little
doubt but the flavor of the cheese would
be improved. If any OF our readers have
any experience in leaving curds during
the night in the sink an6 putting to press
next morning, we would be glad to hear
from them on this practice.-Moorc's
