Cheese Factory.

n Maine contemporary gives the
amount of capital required to start a
cheese factory, as exemplitied IN the case
of "a number of these associations IN that
State, ranging from $500 to $1,000.
From nine to ten pounds OF milk were
required for pound of cheese, and from
one to three hands were employed, the
larger number being needed in the
largest factories during the rush OF the
season. The cost of making, varied from
four cents per pound including boxing
and marketing, to less than two cents.
With present facilities and increased ex-
perience good cheese-maker with plenty
of milk to work up, should and can make
the cheese, bandaae, box and market 1t
for less than two cents per pound.
The secret of success in associated
cheese making is to have large number
of COWS owned by intelligent, neat and
skillful farmers, who will make the sea-
son as long as possible, and an expert
enced cheese maker who thoroughly
understands both the theory and prac
tice of his business.
Mr. Barnes. at the head of one of these
establishments, delivered several lee
TIRES on associated dairying before the
Maine Board of Agriculture, in the course
of which he said that patrons sending
milk to his factory last season received
an income per COW about double what
others received who worked up their
milk in the old way at home; and this
should be the case anywhere when a
first-class system is brought in competi-
ton with rude and puttering methods.
The business of milk dairying is very
troublesome one. The care and anxiety
and labor is great, and the high charges
by railroads is great drawba to any
suitable profit for the capital and atten-
ton required, added to which, and worse
than all. the frequent heavy losses sus-
tanned by failures to dry up and the sub
terfuges put forth for drawbacks, by
which many substantial farmers and
dairymen have been obliged to give up
the business,

About the Weather.

More than year ago those who travel
by the Northumberland car line en-
tered into solemn agreement not to men
ton the weather to each other when they
met on the car. No matter how hot or
cold it was no one was to speak of it, and
each one was to infer that all others had
brains enough to expect 10 degrees be-
low in January and 80 above in August.
AS q result of this agreement nuisance
was abolished and thousands of citizens
put in way to enjoy themselves as well
as one can in street car. Two weeks
ago the organization was revived, and
scores of new names added to the list,
and up to yesterday noon the word
weather" had not been even limited at
on any car on that line. At that hour
a stranger entered car at Adelaide
street and had hardly taken a seat when
ne said to a man across the isle:
Nice little shower we've had?"
He was given freezing look in reply,
but he continued:
Curious that we don't have more
thunder storms this spring"
One of the organization here presented
him with an engraving of a coffin, but
after brief glance he continued:
wonder if we are going to have
very dry summer"
One more effort was made to save him,
but he recklessly observed:
I'm buying place up here and shall
use this line four times day. Did any
ofyou gentlemen notice how the Their
mometer stood?"
The car was stopped, and he was taken
off and impaled on the tops of some iron
pickets, no one even troubling them
selves to take down his dying words to
his wife The coroner has refused to
hold any inquest, and the chief of police
says he shall take no official notification
of the incident. That's the sort of men
they are up Woodward avenue, and
that's the sort of end weather takers
may expect to reach. This saying it's
hot or cold or balmy or breezy or close
or bracing has got to put stop to, If the
cross-bar on every lamp-post becomes
gallows. 1t means nothing, annoys
every body, and is deserving of violent
death. Let the work of execution go on.

The Origin l Penny.

The old, old penny in England, as i'll
other countries, was of silver, and its APP
pearance throughout the earliest time of
its history would rather astonish those
who know nothing of numismatic lore.
From the Saxon times, in which it was
the only piece of silver extant, till those
of Edward l., it was stamped with a
square cross. This enabled the coin to
be readily broken into halves or quarters,
which served the purpose of halfpence or
farthings. But the latter coin was not
much inferior to the value of the present
English penny ,inasmuch rs the unbroken
piece was valued at one-thirteenth of a
mark, or threepence sterling. At this
time five of them seem to have made a
shilling, or shilling, SO that the relations
between what are now chief English sill
YER and bronze coins have entirely al
tered in the cor,rse of six centuries.
King Edward, who reformed the coinage
like everything else, was the first to
issue pennies without the indented cross
and to make up for the loss of the queer
shaped half-pennies and farthings hith-
erto in use, supplemented the coinage
with circular pieces bearing the same
value and denomination. He fixed the
standard of the penny, moreover, by
ordering that it should weigh thirty-two
grains of well grown wheat, or which
was probably more accurate test, that
twenty pennies should weigh one ounce.

fore Richard was neither astonished nor

"Who have you been walking with,
Dick? Tell me the truth, my son."
With Agnes Saurham, SIR"
The light of love was still in the
young fellows face, and the rector could
not help noticing how handsome he was.
He did not say to him: You have no
right, Richard-the young lady is far
beyond your station. You are going to

the contrary, he praised Agnes's beauty

lawfully the squire might refuse her

thing to prove himself worthy Of il.

And then the old man took the young

and Whatsoever Mr.. Sorley's plans were,
he entered heartily into them.
