ical mixture is very intimate, the parts being
evenly distributed, aud closely resembles the
curd made 10 the usual way.
The editor found about 1900 cheeses on
hand at the factory and, after free use of
the trier, was surprised at the quality dis.
closed. lie says There was plainly a
lack Of fancy flavor, but the way in which
the skim milk has been made to produce a
rich mellow cheese, with good flavor, is
wonderful. 1t is not quite right to judge
the cheese by the standard of fancy, because
if the material of which they are made (skim
milky were worked without enriching, the
result would have been exactly the reverse
of fancy. 1t is difficult to judge by the
standard of skim cheese, because there is
seldom a cheese which shows even trace Of
skimming. The curing seems to be delayed
longer than in full cream cheese, and the
greater age given, the more perfect seems to
be the Incorporation OF the oil and the
smoother and sweeter the body Of the prod
uct. The cheese at Mclean is above the
average of full cream cheese which we have
inspected this season, in marketable qualities.
The butter which is made Of the cream is a
strictly fine creamery article. 1t is made
according to the usual creamery practice.
The dairymeu in the vicinity have received
better returns for their milk the past summer
than ever before. Ten pounds Of milk is
called pound of cheese and, for every ten
pounds OF milk, the farmer receives within
two cents of the highest fancy price of cheese
as quoted in the New York market. The
business bids fair to be extended the coming
season.-Ne,o England Farmer.

Effect of the Stock on the Scion.

allowable. | am confident that the stock
has a marked effect on the grated fruit. l
believe one reason why California pears
maintain their original flavor better than
apples is owing to their frequent crossing
with the pungent ounce.
When boy, knew an apple tree called
the " Keep-forever." The fruit would keep
the year round, and was about as good to
eat as an India rubber ball This tree was
grated to- Porter apples, and when the gratis
bore fruit We we're surprised to find it much
improved in flavor and keeping qualities from
the tree the scions were taken from The
apple from the graft was easily recognized as
a Porter, but was superior specimen in all
respects. | would rather have scions from
that tree than from Porter grated on a
sweet stock, or on sour stock that natures
early.
am aware the nurseryman cannot let his
stock come to bearing before grating, but
think he can develop the tree the scions
are taken from, so it will do to show GUS
toner as a recommendation or assurance
that the fruit is properly crossed, A few
limbs of the Seeding could show the quali-
ty ofthe fruit and the habit ofgrOwth Of the

A New Departure in Cheese Making.

Oleo.margariue has been put to a new use
the past summer. A company has been
formed and has been engaged since last
spring at Mclean, Tompkins County, N. Y,
in manufacturing cheese from milk SKINNED
at twenty-iour and thirty-slx hours. The
editor of the Utica Herald has visited the
establishment and gives, in that paper, an
account of the process of manufacture. The
milk after being SKINNED is plaes9,fn large
vats where it is heated to the proper temper
ature for receiving the renuet. The oleo-
margarine is received from the Brooklyn
factory and is as pure and clear as can. be
made from clean tallow. 1t looks, when
melted, like rich golden oil and is added
to the milk with enough rennet to coagulate
the mass in about eight minutes, during which
time attendants keep the milk agitated SO
that the oleo.margarine will mix with the
milk and be seized by the curd as it forms.
While the curd is being cut, more oil is
added and as much of it made to adhere to
the curd as possible, while the surplus is re-
served for use in the next batch. A Micro
scopical examination shows that the mechan-

Relief for the Destitute in Kansas.

In your last issue | notice that Congress
has introduced bill permitting home-
steaders to be absent from their claims until
May, 1876. This will do well enough for
those who have already gone East, or for
such who may have means to so East, and
board out among their friends for the win.

But if this is all that Congress will do
the measure will be entirely inadequate
There are at least 10000 people 10 Kansas
who will need more or less help, in the way
of food, clothing, fuel and seeds to plant in
the spring. They do not want to leave their
precious homes so dearly earned by sever
al years of privation and hardships, to crowd
themselves into the Eastern towns and cities,
The Eastern towns and cities are already
overwhelmed with people of every grade who
are out Of employment,
What these people want is something to
enable them to remain in their hOmosteads
until they can raise another crop. In the
larger portion of the state of Kansas fall
wheat is harvested in juno. Farmers have
exerted themselves to their utmost last fall
aud have put in a large amount of fall wheat
and rye, which looks very promising up to
the present time. If the people can be help
ed through until harvest they will be all
right

Caulihower there is grown in low, swampy
ground, which is thrown up in wide ridges
The plants are set on the ridges, and be-

day the water is bailed from these bitches
upon the growing plants, and the result is
cauliilower Of enormous size, compact, and
almost as white as snow. The engraving will
give pretty good idea of these cauliaower
gardens, and the process Of watering. In
the bitches water cress is grown, both for
cutting and seed. Still, We must say that
we have never seen or heard of finer caul-
! flower than is sometimes grown in the South
and West. The flower buds form a solid
mass Of great beauty and deicacy, called the
"curd." This is rendered more delicate by
being protected from the sun. Break off
one or two Of the leaves, and place them
upon the flower. Gardeners sometimes sow
seed in the autumn, for early caulihower,

sowing the early varieties in the spring in a

Transplant in moist weather, or shade the
newly set plants. In the autumn, plants
which have not fully formed the "Aower," or
"curd" may be taken up and placed in a
light cellar, with earth at the roots, and
they will generally form good heads; or
they may be hung up by the stems, head
down, in cool cellar, and will do well.
A favorite European vegetable, broccoli

broccoli, however, is the most hardy, and in
portions Of Europe where the seasons are
mild, remains in the ground all the winter

Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen
1t is with great deal Of pleasure that come
here from time to time to meet those of like
occupation with myself, and give our expe-
rience in farming. have received great
deal of benefit from these meetings, which
has tended to make farming more pleasant
for me. If l should ask why so many are
here to-day, | should receive the answer,
" For profit and pleasure" 1t is mans na-
ture to strive for happiness and live for some
purpose. We receive pleasure from the ex-
pectaton of good from agreeable society,
and to-day from the expectation Of seeing our
friends. Pleasure, bodily, mental, carual,
and spiritual, are combined in the life Of
man. Hope has great deal to do with our
happiness, Had man no hope how miserable
would he be From the time the decree went
forth that by the sweat of the brow man
shall eat his bread until the present, our race
has been seeking the easiest way. In pursuit
of this, man has sought out many an invention,
whereby to lessen the labor Of man.
1t is very certain that we are not all fitted
for the same association in life. Our tastes
desires, and inclinations are different so il
each could fud his proper place and work,
then we should all be better so far as happi-
ness aud prosperity are concerned, and the
machinery of society would move on with
less friction. Again, We do not enjoy the
same labor or pleasure, but as | have said
if we could know what We like best aud fol-
low it as a race, yes, as a world, we would
be more contented and happy. Now, then,
let us look at the pleasure Of the farmer.
We will follow him through the year, COM
mencing with spring Sugaring is his first
business, and if he is prepared it is nothing
but fun to make sugar | say prepared.

his friends, and il they cannot have good

desired warmth and comfort, also ne desired
cooked food. By putting forth labor he
obtained wood fttod to accomplish his pur-
pose, and thus aifording him satisfaction.
This wood is thus an article Of utility. This
is, says Mill, =" its capacity to satisfy a de-
sire or serve purpose" The latter half Of
this definition of utility often has another
term applied to it. The capacity of an ar.
tice to serve purpose is just what is meant
by the unscienti6c expression intrinsic value.
But two expressions having the same mean
ing are useless in treating such u subject as
this. In fact, they are worse than useless,
because, if the words are different, they sug.
gest difference of the thoughts underlying
them and hence misled. For this reason
writers on this subject are agreed in using
the term utility here and banishiug any such
Specification from the word value. Thus we
must look farther if we wish to know what
to understand by the word value.
A certain amount of woed the woodseller
must have. Any amount beyond that has
no direct utility. Still he labors to procure
it. Another year he comes to me and offers
it to me in exchange for certain articles l
have. 1t might be picture, book, SCALE
or in fact anything in my possession. At
all events it is an article of utility to him,
it has capacity to satisfy desire or serve
purpose of his. The wood desire aud
we exchange. In this case | give him eight
dollars, national currency. This will serve
purpose Of his which wood will not-pay
taxes, for instance. This money, we may
say, had purchasing power of one cord Of
wood-or in other words the power to pur-
chase one cord of wood-while the wood had
the power to purchase eight dollars And
this purchasing po'oer is ralue. A common
expression is commercial value" The
writers on this subject are not wholly agreed
whether simply to call it :" or to call
it exchange value;' but with scarcely an
exception this is the only meaning with
which the word value is used in the works Of
such writer's.
Let US continue. Whatever have is the
fruit of labor, of service, and is my service
embodied in some forn. None the less is it
service for being embodied. Likewise with
the wood of the woodseler. What pay for
in that wood is the service rendered to me.
| might, perhaps, go to the forest myself and
get the wood there, but | can get it more
easily, or rather can get it by rendering
less service in return. Likewise with the
woodsellcr. This transaction, simple as i.
seems, is more complex than the case oi
changing works on neighboriug farms, but
at bottom the two are identical. Or we
may say, and truly say, all our exchange j:
Of service.
Thus we are led, of course, to the various
values or purchasing power of different kinds
of service, or of the same kind at different
times. This is mainly a question of supply
and demand, about which there is much loose
thinking. ID.

and was not entirely due to good care and
fodder corn. Mr.. Abbott keeps an excel.
lent breeding mare, the dam of this colt, and
aims to use the best horse within reach.
This year she is in foal by Bryant & Elders
horse kept at Derby Center.
This year he sold four.year.old from
this mare for $500 to man who rode Eve
days in search of horse in Orleans county
and Canada, and this suited him the best Of
any he found.
But there are few words more to be
said about the dairy. The cows are high
grade Durhams raised by himself. His best
COW was sired by bull bought of Mr.. Ba-
ker, of Durham, p. O., and kept in this vi
cinity FIVE years. All the heifers sired were
good mixers. This COW has given several
days in succession 81 pounds Of milk day.
Another of his best cows is grade from
the stock Of II. q. Cleveland, Of Coventry
BY keeping good cows and raising heller
calves a good dairy results.
The crops this year are 200 bushels ears
Of corn, Is bushels of wheat, $50 Of oats
five acres), $50 bushels of potatoes, and
about 40 tons of hay, which is about Is
tons more than the farm cut nine years ago.
No beets or turnips are raised for stock.
This is practical, paying farming, free from
speculation, aud can be initiated. Mr.. Abb
bott has in the main done his own work aud
chores, as he has no boys to save him steps
and help his hands. He has taken the Bos-
ton CuLtiuatOr II years, and also takes the
VERMONT FARMER.
One idea more that other farmers will ac-
cept: he finds it harder now to save $500
above expenses than it was five years ago to
save like amount, although his crops are
better and his industry the same.
