Ver!cty related story whose truth he
asserts to b. ahovs par. For some time
past hen of his had been conspicuous by
her absence from the premises and there
were fears that she was lost. Those fears
very agre1ably dispelled, however, on
Friday, when she made her appearance,
singing in her gayest manner and stepping
alone in her sprightlest style. Just
behind her were some diminutive objects,
to which ever and anon she gave her
undivided attention. The slowness of
their progress caused the hens owner to
rush out to see what was the brood this
time. He was astonished to see the hen
cover with her wings ~ little ter
raplns. Soon she was treasured and
allowed him to get look at her treasures
The family were called out to see the
wonder. The owner of the hen then went
rack the way she had como and found
out how the eggs were Matched. A ter
rRpin which had laid the eggs had desc rted
them, and the motherly fowl concluded to
to sit on them. This she had done and
the result was the IL young terrapins.

Competition Among Farmers.

With a growth of the demand there
has come vast increase of competition
to the American farmer. The wonder
full development of transportation facil-
tiles has thrown each grain or stock
grower into direct competition with
those engaged in the same business all
over this country, and in Europe and
Asia as well. The prices of the crops
grown by Western farmers are much
more influenced by the good or bad
harvest in Great Britain than by the
good or bad harvest in a dozen neigh
boring counties. Over much of our
country marked change in condition
is in rapid progress. In quarter of
century several of the Western States
have passed from the pioneer stage to
that of well settled regions, sending
out large numbers of people to fill up
still newer regions. As this change
goes on, the price of land advances,
until the rate of increase in price be-
comes slow. Competition increases
greatly, and it ceases to be the rule
that almost any one can fairly succeed
as a farmer. Excepting some periods of
final depression, it is doubtful if any
country ever offered better opportuni-
ties for reasonable success in farming
than has our own. AS the country
grows older, and the population be-
comes greater, with consequent in
crease of competition, and of price of
land, the condition of affairs will begin
to resemble that in most older coun-
tries. Success in money making will
not be the general rule. 1t will be won
only by intelligent and persistent eff
fort. There will be an abundant sup
ply of men who can produce the COM
mon qualities of farm products in the
usual ways. Only those who can pro-
duce articles above the average cost Of
production will have satisfactory profits.
Better preparations for and intelligence
in the work of farming are clearly de-
manded, if success is to be secured in
the comparatively near future. -Nds

Cannibalisin in Fiji.

But prior to the great change in Fiji
caused by Christianity feast would
have been held of small account which
was not graced by abundant human
flesh, and il by chance there was no
war ON hand to provide this delicacy,
there was rarely much difficulty in find
ing victims; defenceless troop of wom-
en- from some neighboring village,
canoe driven ashore by stress OF wealth
er, or, failing these, few insignificant
serfs or wives who had lost favor with
their lords, supplied the place of home
farm produce. Several peculiarities
were observed concerning the 6okaIa,
or human flesh. 1t was considered in
digestible unless eaten with certain
herbs which were purposely grown in
every village. Moreover. it was the
only meat which was preferred rather
high, and which must not be handled,
from belief that it would produce skin
disease. Therefore it was invariably
eaten with peculiar round wooden
fork with four long prongs. Some of
the most noted cannibals, who gloried
in the multitude of men whom they had
eaten, actually kept record of their
number by erecting lines of stones. One
of these registers numbers 872! and the
Christian son of this ogre declares that
his father ate them all himself, allowing
no one to share with him. Another
member of the same family had regis
tered forty-eight, when his becoming a
Christian put a stop to the amusement,
and compelled him to be satisfied with
commonplace beef. In fact, one of the
excuses urged by Thakombau for so
long adhering to cannibalism was that
he and his people had no other substi-
tute for English bullamacow. 1t is,
however, twenty years since he abjured
the vile custom and accepted Christian
ity, but many of the islanders kept it up
till quite recently. - Good Words.

THE DAIRY.

An American cheese bore away the
prize OF silver medal at the late great
cattle and dairy show at Birmingham,
England. The prize cheese was one of
the largest ever made, weighing three
fourths of ton. 1t came from Iowa.
When cheeses are taken to the drv-
room they should always be placed on
a clean shelf, and, after greasing both
ends, should be left until morning, rar-
row end down, and before turning every
morning should be rubbed clear of all
fly deposits. then turned and rubbed on
the other end. The shelves should be
thoroughly washed every time sale is
made. The room should be well venti-
lated, and, in hot weather, the air al
lowed to pass freely through during the
night All cheeses should be turned and
rubbed every day as long as they re-
main in the factory. .-'''
If You have everything pertaining
to the cows feed, water, ETC., as it
should be, the next item of Importance
to be considered is the milk-room, or
place in which the cream is raised, and
the work connected with butter-making,
is performed. Whether the cream is
separated from the milk by the power
of gravitation or centrifugal force
whether by means of the submerged sys-
tenn or some other manner of setting you
must have place that can be kept clean
and sweet, also the temperature well
regulated. We consider pure atmos-
phere and correct temperature to be of
the utmost Importance in making good
butter A room in which very much
milk is kept will become moldy or
musty, and needs to be whitewashed
frequently. In case submerged cans
are used, the water surrounding them
must be changed often, or kept con-
stantly running. -Amer1can Dairynaan.
We have noticed, in travelling
through dairy districts, the weedy con-
dition of pastures, and have thought it
strange that the simple labor of cutting
the weed should not be employed.
There is no nostrum that can be ap-
piled to the weeds so efectual as simple
cutting with scythe. Weeds may be
effectually killed by cutting when in
blossom. The ANIMALS will be killed at
the first cutting, and can only grow
again from seed. Canada thistles will
nearly always die after the second cut
ting. In new seeded meadow in
tested with this thistle, they will be
found very thick the first season; but if
the moving machine is put at work
when the thistles are just coming into
blossom, the grass and thistles will
make good hay, and there will soon be
a second crop of grass, and less this
ties; cut this at the same stage of
growth, and there will be few if any
thistles the next year. Careful cutting
will do the same in pasture. Weeds in
pastures are usually in punches, scat
tered here and there. A man will 60
over an acre in an hour, and by repeat
ing this before the weeds 90 to seed,
they will soon disappear. The trouble
is, that dairymen think they have not
time for such thorough work, and they
suffer the weeds to go to seed year
after year. until the land is covered
with the seed. A better system will
soon get rid of most of the weeds

Sailing Cheese.

A correspondent once more asks us
in regard to sailing cheese. The proper
use of salt in butter and cheese is sub
ject of frequent inquiry, by beginners
especially. The taste of cheese is
greatly modified by the use of salt, and
as tastes of different people differ, it is
difficult to lay down any definite rule.
One thing seems to be pretty well set
tied and that is, that sailing the curd
when it is tolerably cool gives the best
favor. The only objection that is urged
against this practice is that the salt can
not be so evenly distributedn cool curd
as it can in warm, and that therefore its
preserving effects cannot be so great.
10 this is replied, that in curing meat.
packers find it can be best preserved
by sailing when it has cooled off. In
the Cheshire diaries the temperature of
the curd at the time of sailing is not al
lowed to go above eighty degrees. Be-
sides injury to the flavor when salt is
applied to curd, that is too warm, it has
tendency to harden it by surrounding
the portions with which it comes in con-
tact with a coating of caseine. One
thing will readily suggest itself; the
cheese should be pretty well cleared of
whey before the sailing begins, else it
is impossible to tell how much salt will
pass off with the whey, and the result
must be that the sailing process is al
together guess work, and the result of
that kind of work will be that if the
cheese is not sufficiently sailed it will
ripen before it ought to, and must be
eaten while young. Cheese with long
keeping qualities ripens slowly, which
depends upon being sailed with precis-
ion.
One purpose of sailing is to check the
acidity of the curd Whenever it is de-
sired to check the further progress of
acidity, proper sailing will do it. And
now as to the quantity to be used, as
before said the rules to be laid down
can only be general. From two to
three pounds of salt for every one hun
dred pounds of cheese will be about
the quantity, which differs according to
the character of the cheese to be made
at different seasons. In spring two
pounds for every hundred pounds of
cheese will be about enough, as cheese
then made is apt to be wanted TO riper
quickly. In hot weather three pounds
are often used, and not less than two
pounds and a half should be used. The
Cheddar cheese-makers use one pound
of salt for tifty-six pounds of curd! Usu-
ally in English manufactures the curds
are dryer than American curds are, and
consequently less amount of salt is
required. h@ $50
The salt used must be the best. A
great deal of cheese and butter are
spoiled by poor salt. Some salt cannot
be used for this purpose at all. If salt
contains chlorides of calcium or mag
nesium it will injure the flavor. The
market contains pure salt. which is adj
vertised by responsible firms. Pure salt
is determined by its dryness. A chalky
salt is not fit for the dairy. 1t should
be of fine grain, crystalline, and trans
parent, and be of pure white color.
Of course it should be entirely free from
odUr.- Western Rural.
