Making Cheese without Acid. I'LL.
BY PROFESSOR L. b. ARNOLD.

The Chedder process, in somewhat
modified form from the English mode, has
been adopted to some extent in this coun-
try AMI works well. 1t mends many of
the defects of the acid process. The fac
tories adopting it proceed about as follows
The milk is set for curding at 800 to o40,
the curd is cut, worked and "scalded to
blood heat, or Whereabouts, the same as in
the acid process. The distinctive feature
of this system consists in drawing the
whey at some period before the curd is ripe
enough for pressing. The time for doing
this is different in different factories. Of
tener than otherwise it is drawn as it APP
proxmates souring. The vat being tipped
to secure ready drainage. the curd is
heaped upon its upper end, where it il
allowed to pack and keep warm till the
requisite amount of whey is expelled anc
the curd is ripe enough for The press

iron test. At this stage it is ground fine
enough to take salt evenly, and is cooled
and pressed.
While cheese made by this process is a:

the acid process, it is better in most re
spects. First, it will have more nutty
flavor. The acid in the whey "cuts the

carries them off, leaving the cheese insipiC
and wanting in the delicate aroma which
cheese fanciers highly esteem. The more
acid the less nutLy flavor. Second, it will

and be very much easier of digestion. AL

ROCK BYE, BABY.


Rock bye, baby, in the tree.top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the boughs break the cradle will fall,
Down tumbles baby. and cradle. and all.
Rock bye, baby the meadows in bloom
Laugh at the sunbeams that dance in the room,
Echo the birds with your own baby tune,
Coo in the sunshine and flowers of June.
Rock bye, baby; as softly IT swings,
Over the cradle the mother love sings;
Brooding and cooling at even or dawn,
What will 1t do when the mother is gone?
Rock bye, baby; so cloudless the skies,
Blue as the depth of your own laughing eyes;
Sweet is the lullaby over your nest,
That tenderly sings little baby to rest
Rock bye, baby; the blue eyes will dream
Sweetest when mamma'steyes over them beam;
Never again will the world seem so fair
sleep little baby-no cloud in the air.
Rock bye, baby; the blue eyes will burn
And ache with what your manhood will learn !;
swiftly the years come with SORROW aud care,
With burdens the wee little shoulders mus
bear.
Rock a bye, baby there's coming a day
Whose sorrows a mothers lips can't kiss away;
Days when its song will be changed to moan;
Crosses that baby must bear all alone.
Rock a bye, baby; the meadows In bloom,
May never the frosts pail the beauty in gloom
| BE thy world ever bright, as to-day it is seen,
Rock bye, baby, thy cradle is green.

FARM LABoRERs.-Tn answer to Ron
docp on the hired hand question, would
say that there should be Il fair understand
ing and good state of feeling between the
farmer and his hired help. l have carried
on a farm exclusively with hired labor for
twenty-five years, and have seldom had
any trouble about the hours of labor or the
amount of work required. think farm
ers often make mistake in jewing their
hands down to the lowest prize in making
Il bargain with them, SO that the hand gels
the impression to begin with that he is
hired to a " skinhint." l have usually
thought that was the gamer to pay
hand the wages he asked, if they were
reasonable. rather than to beet him down
Two or three dollars month. 1t is al
ways best to have a written contract with
Il hand. particularly if there are any de-
tails to arrange, as memory is treacherous
and some point is apt to be forgotten.
Have clause in the contract providing
for its annulling under certain regulations.
for if either party becomes dissatisfied, it
is better that they should seperate. For
example, you hire nun the first of
M.rch for nine months, at $l8 month !;
let the contract stipulate that if either
party becomes dissatisfied they may give
one months notice (unless they Can agree
at once to separately land if the hand leaves
before harvest that he is 10 have but SIG
month, while if he works five months of
his time. which would include planting,
crop tending and harvest, he is to have
$20.
Where there are two or more hands
have it arranged between them what part
of the chores they are to do, for they are
more likely to quarrel about these than
their regular work.
We make it rule to get up at five
o'clock and have breakfast at six. This
gives time to attend to milking and feed
ing before breakfast, and to get to the field
in time for five hours work before dinner.
We take an hour for noon and come in
for supper at five O'Clock. when we 90
back to the field and work till half past
six or seven; or we often utilize these
after supper hours by working in the gar
den or doing some odd job. AS rule
do not require a hand to work later in
haying or harvest than Mt other times,
but in case of an emergency we occasion

only justice to the employed to hire extr,

take extra hours from men who must

son of the year.
There is no doubt in my mind that ten
hours Of cheerful, brisk field work is
worth more than twelve or thirteen OF
slavish, reluctant service. We should
treat our help like men, as we would
wish TO be treated under like circum.
stances, and the best among them, at
least. will appreciate it. | know there are
unprinciped work hands upon whom
kindness would be thrown away, but the

A DAIRY SALT TESLA test for dairy
salt was made at Meadville, Pa, lately be-
tween Saginaw factory filled, Syracuse
factory filled, Ashton and Higgins salt, be-
fore the board of trade there, some eight
or ten ounces of each being placed in solu-
ton in quart cans. The american Dairy
man gives the following as the result:
The Syracuse salt was taken as it runs
in quality, as was also the Saginaw and
Ashton; the Higgins was from u bag sent
IS sample and probably rs pure AS Hig-
gins salt can be made. The result after
standing over one night, was that the
saginaw salt showed poorest of all, there
being some half an inch of sediment I'M
dissolved in the bottom. The Syracuse
salt showed badly, to the great surprise Of
Prof. Arnold, who has been advocating
its use the Ashton and Higgins appeared
20 be pure and equally excellent. Mr.
Harrington said II still later experiment OF
the same nature at West Bloomfield, by
Prof Arnold, had resulted in II good show.
ing for Syracuse salt. The discussion was
warmly carried on, Mr.. erry making the
very aprop0s statement that AS Ashton and
Higgins could, so far AS had been learned
always be relied upon, while Syracuse was
nvariabe in quality, there seemed to be
consideration of reliability urging the gen.
eral Use Of those brands. The general
conclusion seemed to be that while Ashton
was always reliable, and Higgins fine in
its best grades, Syracuse is variable,
though the purest made for markets. when
it can be had, will compare favolably with
any other salt.
