Cheese Making. in the WEST

The Monroe wis Sentinel gives some
interesting statistics in regard to the extent
OF the cheese manufacture of Green county,
IN that state. There are ten factories in
the county, and their products for 1873 (in-
Guiding some large private dairies) are
summed up as follows
Total Limburg cheese .534 900 lbs
Total Swiss cheese. 152, 600 lbs
Total Yankee cheese 450, 900 lbs
Total. .....,.....................l 146 900 lbs
1t is estimated that the milk of 1860
cows is consumed in this product of the
Green county cheese f,ctories, and the
Sentinel says "Several new factories are
now building, and those that have been al
ready in operation, and those that have
been already in operation have increased
their capacity and number of cows fully
twenty-five per cent for this years bust
ness"
Upon this the Chicago Hitey-Ocean re-
marks; "While the whole country is deep
ly exercised over the question of the rates
of transportation on western products to
the seaboard, the Green county farmers are
partly solving the problem by converting
their crude, heavy produce into more val
liable and less bulky substances. great
victory over transportation is achieved by
the farmer who converts tiftysix pounds of
corn into three pounds of cheese. The
farmer who mlks his cows several years
and converts the lacteri fluid into cheese,
gets more money for them than the farmer
who sends his three year old cattle to
market for beef, and. into the bargain, not
only still has its COWS, but possesses a small
herd Of younger cattle for the future. This
is what the Green county, Wisconsin, tar
mers are doing to circumvent transporta-
ton companies"

THE GRASS WIDOW.

There's a beautiful cloak of rat-colored plush
And two dimpled dunplings of cheeks with
blush.
And a fat little hand with glove always
new,
And lot of big rings which distinctly show
through;
And small parasol, with the air of a firt
And skirts always clean, tho the street be
all dirt;
And these things all belong-like the song
which l write
To the little grass widow who lives in our
fight.
Her eyes are like puddles of Maznard 4 Noyes.
But they sparkle like fire when she bows
to the boys
And o, how they dart from their depths a
keen ray,
When you meet her = shopping some fine
frosty day
She fears not the wind. and she fears not the
snow,
She fears but the prospects of missing 4
And OF when she meets one her smile is
asigh,
And she shippers and irritates like stye on
my eye.
One day she was sick and expected to die;
l sat by her side-we were both on the cry
When she choked down the tears wiped them
of with a curl.
And murmured. I'm glad that Old Death
amt girl.
He's q rather slim pattern, of course, for a
beaux--
But anythings better than nothing. you know;
l wonder if flirting with him would be right"
Said the pretty grass widow, who lives in
our flight.

THE separation from the stem.
which precedes the fall OF the leaf,
is said to be gradual process, be-
ginning early in summer, and pro
duced by the continued growth of
the stem after the leaf has attained
its full growth, which it usually
does in a few weeks, the cuticle of
the stem healing over the wound
thus formed. The growth of the
bud at the base of the leaf still fur
ther separates it, and gust of wind,
or the contraction of the leaf stalk
by frost caused it to fall. The leaves
of white oak and some other trees
are not thus separated, but pushed
of by the young growth of the next
year.

A New Bedford clergyman on
reaching his church on Sunday,
and being rather late, found to his
dismay that he had not got his SER
mon with him. He hurried to his
home, and to his further horror dis
covered that he had not got the key
of his room, but, not to be thwarted,
he burst open the door, secured the
sermon, sped to the church, told his
wife to go and fasten up the door,
and preached to the acceptance of
his congregation.

IT Is said the cave at Cacahua-
milpa, Mexico, is the largest cave in
the world. The last party that Wis
tied it thus describes their expert
ence: latter reaching the level, at
perhaps fifty feet depth, they pro-
ceeded three and three. e.quarter miles
into the interior. The roof was so
hgh-a succession of halls - the
rockets often exploded before reach
ing it. Labyrinthine passages leave
the main hall in every direction.
Stalagmites and staiactites are abun-
dant. Below this cave, at great
depth, are two other immense caves,
from each of which issues branch
of great river, uniting here. These
two rivers enter five miles distant at
the other side of the mountain, flow
parallel, and issue at last together.

AND now Russia proposes to go
into the compulsory education bust
ness, and in the wholesale way too.
At present not more than One-half of
the children i'm st. Petersburg attend
school, and that city has been select
ed as the first place in which the ex-
pertinent shall be tried. Consequent
ly under direction of the minister of
national education, l57 school edi-
fees are to be erected in which chill
dren of both sexes, from eight to
twelve years OF age, shall be taught
reading, writing, the first four rules
of arithmetic and the scriptures. 1t
is estimated that the annual cost of
carrying on the schools will be about
35O,O roubles, and it is designed
to be betrayed by charging parents
who can afford to pay fee OF three
roubles for the attendance of each
of their children, levying upon
the city tax to meet the expense of
educating poor children. The Ber-
lin system OF control over parents is
to be adopted, and they will be sub
.jected to fines and Imprisonment for
non-observance of the law.
