American Cheese and its Export---
Home Consumption.

on. Y. A. Willard In American Agriluluri.t.
our population Is now fifty millions,
and we ought TO consume the entire
cheese product of the country. II
amounts annuallyto 100000 OOpounds.
and of this about l2j.0000OO pounds
are exported. England has a popula-
ton Of about 25.0O0,00O, and her an
nual cheese consumption is over 5OO,-
100000 pounds or 20 pounds per capt.
tn. If we consumed annually our
whole product IL would be only at the
rate of 5 pounds per capita. but rs we
use no more than 27j.00O,0OO pounds.
the actual consumption is - pounds
per capita III we used cheese as freely
here ms In England. our annual con.
sumption would require one thousand
million pounds. There is not the prop.
or effort made TO promote home con-
sumption. The bulk of our finest cheese
goes abroad. the poorer sorts are left
for home use, and the influence of all
poor, ill.flayOred cheese, is 20 check
consumption. Outside the chief cities
u Is seldom more than one variety is
offered In market, and that is a second
or third-class Cheddar. There is press
ng demand for fine, small cheescs of
six to ten pounds weight, but our dairy
men seem to make but little effort TO
set out of the regular expectation, size
and style-and so long rs they have an
annual surplus of 100000 pounds of
this kind they must expect TO have
prices on our whole product regulated
by foreign market. Prices fluctuate
from week to week. and from season
to season. according to foreign demand
and cable quotations from LIVERPOOL
and London. In 1879 the finest cheese
made In this country sold on the in
terror markets at six cents per pound.
Because cheese sells high this saeson is
no certainly that IL will sell equally
well next year. The recent developing
OF cheese dairying in Russia and other
parts of northern Europe, in Australia
and New Zealand, will, in few wears
have more or less influence on our ex-
port trade. Our daily interest ought
10 be independent of foreign ship
ments Our population is RAPIDLY in
creasing. and the entire cheese product
OF the country ought to be consumed
at home, but TO effect this desirable
result u change must be made in our
running all goods into Cheddars. We
must have more varieties and differ
ent styles to suit home wants. When
this shall be fairly inaugurated we
may look forward to less iluctuation
In our dairy markets. and to very
steady demand at remunerative prices

Where a Lying Machine Failed ir
Power

Power.
Recently a Nevada man invented a
lying machine and went around trying
to sell 'em. The machine was war
ranted to trot out first-class lie on
any subject at a moments notice. But
it didn't sell well. He took it first to a
horse trader. Said the trader: "Come
you, get out of this. / tell the truth in
my business" The inventor presented
it to a lawyer and he also looked terror
stricken and offended. A fishing party
looked hankeringly at it, but their
language was to the effect that they
abhOrred untruth. A young man who
was engaged to three different girls also
felt indignant at the offer. At last
the disheartened inventor came to New
York and tried the political editor of
the Evening Express. The writer flew
mad in minute. "You scoundrel, >
he cried, do you mean to insult meY"
"No," tremblingly answered the poor
man. Then what the blazes do you
mean by Offering me that thingY'
~Why, thought you might oc-
casionally want to use it in your bust
ness" "You wretch, what do you take
me for?" "0h' sir, didn't mean to
insinuate that you were liari Idon't
for minute think, sir, you could tell
a lieF' that's it" cried the editor.
''that's what I'm mad about You con-
ceited ass, you think you're able to in
vent a machine that can't lie all
around, and that without an effort. /
never was so insulted in my lifel

while he would rather have escaped

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
The President Recommends Novem-
Der % as the Day.

Der ~ as the Day.
Proclamation by the President of the
United States:
3 1t has long been the piOus custom of
our people, with the closing of the year,
to look back upon the blessings brought
to them in changing the course of the
seasOns-tO return solemn thanks to
the All Giving Source from whom they
flow. Although at this period, when
the falling leaf admonishes us that the
time of our sacred duty is at hand, our
nation still lies i'm the shadow of a
great bereavement, and the mourning
which has filed our hearts still finds
its sOrrowful expression, towards God,
before whom we but lately bowed i'm
grief and supplication. Yet the count.
less benefits which have been showered
upon us during the past twelve months
call for our fervent gratitude and make
1t Citing that we should rejoice with
thankfulness that the Lord in His in
finite mercy has most signally favored
our country and our people. Peace
without and prosperity within have
been vOuchsafed to us. No pestilenee
has visited our shores. The abundant
privileges Of freedom which our fathers
left us in their wisdom are still our
increasing heritage. In parts of our
vast domain some affliction has visited
our brethren in their forest homes, yet
this calamity has been tempered and
in manner sanctiied by the generous
compassion for the sufferers which has
been called forth throughout our land.
For all these things it is meet that the
voice of the nation should go up to
God in devout homage. Wherefore, i,
Chester A. Arthur, president of the
United States, do recommend that all
people observe Thursday, the oath day
of November, as a DAY of national
thanksgiving and prayer, by ceasing,
so far as they may, from their secular
labors and meeting in their several
places of worship, there to join in as
cribing honor and praise to Almighty
God, whose goodness has been so mani
fest in OUR history and in our lives,
and Offering earnest prayers that His
bouDties may continue to us and our
children. In witness whereof / have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this,
the fourth day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-one, and Of the
independence of the United States the
one hundred and sixth.

CHESTER A ARTHUR.
