Lactic Acid In Making Cheese.

AT recent convention of dairymen
there was an unusual amount of talk and
hypothetlcal augmentation concerning
the operation of Tactic acid in the manu-
Iacture OF cheese. {. l.. Sheldon stated
mat without Tactic acid the cream sacks
protect the Oil from the immediate action
OF the rennet and hence the fermentation
or rlpenlng process goes on more slowly,
SO lar as the influence of the cream is
concerned, because the casein covering
OF the cream globule must first yield to
the influence of the digestive process
gong on. A statement made by L. B.
Arnold that cheese could be made with
better keeping qualities without the use
OF an ACID than with has led me to think
the matter over, and / am not sure but
we have given the Tactic acid credit for
the work performed by another agent.
VI one thing / feel assured-that is, the
tactic acid weakens the casein covering
OF the cream globule. In the manufac-
ture Of cheese perhaps greater number
OF unknown quantities enter than in The
butter problem. Now how shall we deter
mine theseI We give certain value to
the condition of the milk that we start
Wtni then of the rennet which we add
10 1t; certain values to the different
manlpulations of the manufacture;
value to the amount of acid devel-
oped and TO the temperature used IN
curing. Now, do we determine these
values correctly, Some of them we
nave been accustomed to regard as &C
celebrating the curing of the cheese and
Others as retarding it. Our practice has
SHOWN us that cheese cures sooner where
certain amount of tactic acid is deyel-

Advantages of Small Farms.

a correspondent writes to the Depart

Iowa, that he is running a small farm of
forty acres, with twenty under cultiva-

one puts INTO an acre of soil the more
money he is likely to take out of it. His
Judgment should tell him what crops will
pay best in the markets within his reach,
with a small farm close in hand. small
taxes and small outgo for labcr, feed and
working stock. There is both art and
good sense in keeping down expenses on
the farm and in other branches of bust.

farmer often grasps more acres than he
can handle to the best advantage, and all
are more or less sighted at certain times

A Fish Story.

In the Misseuri River, dIestlsspposits

in The center OF that island is a large
pond, which, until "a few days since, rested
in peace, andisturbed by the rude alarms
-. transgressing world, 3 But the cold
spell which came down upon the JUS,
and unjust with zeal never before re.
mernbertd put its seal upon the bosom
Iofthat fair lake. which q vulgar and
communicating people have miscalled a
pond-to the depth of two feet. There
mas never been a thing, sealed up that
somebody didn't waBt to burst open to
see what was in it, and so it was in this
instance. The island lake. which had
remained inviolate through time, was
visited by Jones Lockridge, who keeps
the Forest City Hotel, and the seal
broken. 49, - -s s''''
When the ice was removed the space
beneath was found to be literally packed
with fish of all sizes and descriptions,
from the coHanon cat, weighing forty
i've pounds, TO an animated silver not
much larger than a pin. There were fish
with shovels where their noses ought to
be, sword fish, red fish, black fish and
white fish, and nsh of an colors and
degrees. Some of them had scales
and some skins, like catfish, and others
yet rejoiced in covering resembling
that Of the muskrat-but they were fish,
tor all that. h.. Ito

try, and people from far and near came
down upon the island, armed with guns,
spears, harpoons and lances, and ali
KIND and manner of vehicles, on horse
back~snd on foot There came brave
men and fair women, big boys and girls
and smaller ditto; there, also, could be
seen children in arms, and all strong in

Tor these days are Lent. i3|lf
IL is supposed that there must be some
connection with this lake and. the Mis-
souri, River, if not with regions more re.
mote and deeper down into the bowels
of the earth. Many of the fish taken

temperature shall make up this lack the
cheese must cure slower. Instead of say
ing that the acid is the retarding agent
tho condition of the cheese il really the
cause of the delayed curing. The acid
is but one link in the chain and pc T
formed its work in but one direction
The condition of retarded curing is due
to the alcoholic ferment and whatever
other influence may have produced the
dry condition of cured. This may seem
to some like splitting hairs; but to be-
come successful experimenters it seems
necessary that We should give to each
agent or actor in the process its exact
value and influence. If, with this view
of Tactic acid, we take up the manufac-
ture of cheese without acid we may see
how theory and practice in one case is in
exact harmony with theory and practice
in the other case.-N. T. Herald.

MEDICAL ADvERTIsING.-The medical
profession are outspoken in their de-
nunciation of the system of medical ad.
vertislng, and declare that any medicine
that is advertised is fraud. How thor.
onghly inconsistent and unfair is such an
argument. The men who are so loud in
their criticisms are those who adpertise
themselves as medical sapans by ostenta-
tlous display; splendid residences with
massive door-plates; fast horses and
costly carriages. DR.. j. WALKER, of
California, an old practitioner, respected
alike for his skill and conscientious indie.
pendence, dares to differ; and having dis
covered in his VINEGAR BITTERs-a pure
ly herbalistic medicine, free from all
splrituous poisons-a wonderful specific
for numerous disorders, advertises the
same for the relief of his fellow-man.
and is borne out IN his declarations of
its many virtues by thousands of in
valids who are being cured of disease
by its use. -.. 81

The latest mania which has seized
upon Young America is that of spelling
matches. They have spread as rapidly
as the epizootic did. 1t is an old custom
which had fallen into disuse, but has
truly astonishing. Commencing in New
England, only few weeks ago, they
have quickly spread to the West, the last
place to be attacked being Nebraska.
The object of these matches is very ex-
cellent one, the proceeds and rewards be-
ing given to the poor. They are inno-
cent in character, not liable to lead peo-
Pile into temptation, and are cheap and
tranquilizing. They do not excite the
passions, keep people out very late at
nights, or distract their attention from
business. Some of the facts connected
with these matches are very peculiar. The
ladies almost invariably come off victori.
Gus in these contests, and put down the
tyrant man without any difficulty Men
of literary pretensions have been fioored
with haccid," fiageolet." ballast"
balance" privilege" capillary" "co-
lossal," " correlate," appall," and even
little monosllyabic words, hurled anthem
by the gentler sex. At a spelling-match
in Indianapolis, the other day, Prof. W.
o. Bell, editor of the School Journal, and
formerly Superintendent of the Educa-
iional Department of the city, spelled
"allege" with ID" and, upon his re-
tirement, was made the recipient of a
huge cabbage bouquet. Other persons
in literary walks of life were spelled
down with very simple words.
AS cheap form of popular education
the spelling match is to be commended.
The condition of the public spell is SIM
ply fearful. We receive daily scores of
communications written for the Chicago
Tribune whose spelling is bad enough TO
make ones hair stand on end. The
fault does not seem to pertain to any
particular class. The poets, of whom
the Tribune has about 1900 in training,
perhaps spell the worst, but, as they are
laboring under fine frenzy" they

SEWING MACHINE.

We, manufacturers of boots and shoes,
are using Wheeler & Wilson's New No.
Sewing Machine in all kinds of stitching
on our work, and confidently believe that
it will supersede all others in this branch
of manufactures, for the following rea-
sons:
1. The work done by this machine is
superior to that of any other in partety,
amount, excellence and beauty.
2. This machine is more durable than any
other Of its class, requiring much less
outlay for repairs and reneaodl Of parts.
3. 1t does the cording or staying Of button
holes in most elegant and substantial
manner, without the expense of royalty.
In short, because by the use of this
machine we can turn out superior soork at
less cost than with any other.
