Obong cheese, handy for family use and for
retail groccrymcn, which usually commands
two or three cents pound more thau the ordi.
nary factory cheese, SIMPLY on account Of its

ported fancy Chccscs, the difference in price
making all necessary allowance for increased
cost of manufacture, would undoubtedly WELD
a handsome profit to the maker. At any rate,
success in the manufacture of fine fancy
cheeses would tend to widen the market for
American dairy products. AT present, Ameri-
can cheeses 90 almost exclusively to England,
But the English, although enormous consum-
ers OF cheese, cannot take all we ought to make.
If care were taken to cater Ia Continental AS

Europe might b. opened Ia our checses. The
prize is great one, and the experiment is at

The San Francisco Grocer says: Flour is
peculiarly sensitive to atmospheric influences
hence it should never be stored in room with
sour liquids. nor where onions or fish are kept
nor any article that taints the air of the room
IN which it Is stored. Any smell pcrceptiblc
to the sense will be absorbed by flour. Damp
cellars or lofts where a free circulation of air
cannot be obtained are injurious. A cool, dry,
airy room, not exposed TO ii freezing tcmpera-
turc nor to intense summer, or to artificial heat
for any length of time above 20 TO Is deg.
Fair, is best for flour. 1t should not come in
contact with grain or other substances which
are liable to heat

HOUSEHOLD AND FARM,

The successful life of Mr. Jacob Strawn, the
prince of American farmers, is attributed to
the close Observance Of the following maXlms
originated by himself:
Make your fences high and strong, SO that
they will keep your cattle and pigs out If
you have brush make your lots secure, and
keep the hogs from the corn.
Be sure 10 get your hands to bed by O'Clock
they will rise early from force OF circum
stances.
Pay hand, If he is aspoor hand, all YOU
promise him; f he is good one pay him a
little more; il will encourage him to do lit
tie better.
Always feed your hands as well as you feed
yourself for the laboring men are the bone and
sinew Of the land and ought to be well treated
| am satisfied that getting up early, indus
try and regular habits, are the best medicine
ever prescribed for health.
When rainy, bad weather comes, so that you
can't work out doors, cut, split and haul your
wood make your racks, fix your fence or gate
and patch the roof of your barn or house.
Study Your own interest closely, and do not
spend your lime IN elccting Presidents Gov
Hrnors, and other smaller officers, and in whit
lhhg store boxes.
Take your time, and make calculation: do
things in hurry, and keep your mind, as your
body, employed,

The very best mode of destroying weeds i,
to thoroughly cultivate the hoed crops, and
prevent any weeds from appearing in corn OF
potato fielis When this is done each sue
ceeding crop will be better until the land Is
seeded and good clover catch will of itself
destroy many kinds of annual weeds. On the
other hand, where weeds predominant they
will crowd out the clover, and thus destroy
one of the most efficient means of fertiizing
the soil. Care must be taken however. to SOW
clover and grass seeds that are free from seeds
of 9agweed and other pests. Some of these
have been disseminated IN this way The pro
portion of clean seed Is yearly growing less
requiring greater caution on the part of the
farmer. Absolute purity of grass seeds sown
is one of the first requisites to any farmer who
desires to keep out weeds, so that if his farm
