Sailing.

GLOW do you salt, is frequently
asked 10y cheese-makers But the
answer must always be vague rs n

dip out the curd. Because ono salts

two pounds of salt may be too much
in the former and four too little in the
latter case (per thousand pounds OF
milk Therefore no stated rule can
be n safe guide. The judgment of the
maker must be CXerted To salt at the
same stage of dryness, and quick per.
ceptions are required to do this ac-
curately. II is very essential that no
mistake be made in sailing; for too
much hardens the cheese, making it
stiff and lacking in richness, while too
little promotes heaving, porousness and
premature decay. When the curd has
been allowed to pack for grinding, there
need be no mistake in sailing, and /
prefer that method, but others who dip
out the curd produce quite us uniform

Of salt obtainable should he used in
cheese making. Very many makers

influence of the Time of Calving on
the Yield of Milk

A note on this subject, from the pen
of All experienced Dutch agrieulturnlist
appears i'll the columns of Biedermaan 5
Cntrdlblah, In northern Germany il is
generally arranged that cows shall calve
between November and February,
under the impression that the largest
yield of milk is thus obtained; in Hol-
land, on the other hand, March and
Aprila are considered the most favorable
months. In order - arrive NJ some
definite conclusion as To the respective
merits Of the systems, the author kept
II careful record of the milk attained
from l42 cows Of about the same age
and condition of nourishment. One
day in each week he had the milk Of
each COW weighed separately, and cal
culated the weekly yield on that basis.
Until the beginning of March the COWS
were kept III their sheds, and thence
to the beginning Of November We're
driven out 10 pasture. The results Oh.
tanned show clearly that, after the
month of Fehruary,a constant decrease
in tie yield of Milk and in the duration
of lactation occurred, i'll direct proper
ton to the lateness Of the date when
the cows calved The quality Of the
milk was also inferior in the later-calv-
ing animals.

THE WORLD FOR 1880.

Democrats everywhere should inform them

their party throughout the country aud OF the
movements of their Republican opponents.
failure to do thisi in 1876 Contributed greatly
to the loss by the Democracy of the fruits OF
the victory fairly won at the polls.
The year 1880 promises to be one OF the
most interesting and important years of this
crowded and eventful century. 1t will wit

in reestablishing the Government OF this coun
try on the principles OF its constitutional
founders, or in permanently changing the re
lations OF the States to the Federal power.
No Intelligent man can regard such an eicc-
ton with indifference. The World. as The
only daily English newspaper published iii the
city of New York which upholds the doctrines
of constitutional Democracy, will steadily rep
resent the Democratic party in this great can
vass. 1t will do this III no serVile partisan

During the past year The World has SCENTS
