it were the fire at Chester last year. To

The Proper Use Of Good Rennst.


The proper use of rennet is an impor-
tant matter in cheese making. 1t is by
the action of the rennet that the chemical
process by which the crude caseine of
the milk is converted into cheese is car
ried forward. In order to attain the best
results, the best rennet must be used, and
used in suitable quantities. The best
rennets are from calves from five to ten
days old, although so long as the calves
live entirely upon milk the rennet do not
vary much in strength As soon as the
calves begin to live on solid food the
strength Of their stomach. or rennets, be-
comes impaired. The calves should be
allowed to suck moderate meal about
eighteen hours before killing. After the
lapse of that length of time the curd from
their last meal will have nearly disap-
peared. and the coagulating agent be-
come deposited upon the inside of the
stomach, forming a delicate coating,
family fesh-colored, and very tender,
which breaks off in thin fiocculent scales
upon slight friction" This coating it is
very desirable to preserve, and the rennet
must be handled with care to prevent the
loss of it. The contents of the stomach
may be carefully emptied out, carefully
rinsed with water, salted, stretched on q
bent stick, and dried for use. Rem
nets are much better if not used until a
year old. They may be stepped in weak
brine or whey for use, allowing two
quarts of liquid for each rennet. About
half 8 pint of such liquid will usually
be sufficient to curdle fifty to sixty gal
Ions of milk. The amount of rennet
used varies somewhat according to the
temperature at which the milk is set and
the rapidity of curing desired. Cheese
designed for early ripening for market
requires more rennet than cheese which
is to be kept a year or more Care must
be exercised to avoid using tainted rem
net. Mr.. X. A Willard saws: Tainted
rennet Is the source of infinite mischief
to the dairy, even when the taint is so
slight as to be unsuspected. 1t produces
ills well known to the dairyman as huff
ing, rapid decomposition, .nauseous
stenches, the breeding of mites, and
often the entire loss of the cheese An
old dairyman in Herkimer County, New
York. once lost a large quantity of
cheese. and for a long time could not
ascertain the cause of the trouble. The
cheese seemed perfect when made, but
the fermentation soon became violent,
and the cheese would turn itself COM
pletely out of the bandage. One after
another they were thrown to the hogs.
The cause of the trouble was finally
traced to the wooden tub in which he
kept the rennet. The tub had become
tainted. He threw the tub away, substi-
tuted stone jar, procured good rennet
skins, and had no further trouble. A
good rule for the use of rennet is to use
Just enough to bring the curd in about
fifty minutes so as to be fit to cut If
too much rennet is used the cheese may
taste of it or be hard and perhaps sour.

King Henry's Arm and Edwards
BarleYcorn.

There is little difficulty now about
fixing the standard, but in early times,
when science had not attained its pres
ent exactness, there were constant bick-
erings and wrangle5. Perhaps the first
successful attempt to obtain uniformity
was achieved by Henry l., who settled
the matter by a decision curiousiy arbi-
trary and final. The yard was to be
the standard of every measure, and the
length of the yard was not a matter of
feet or inches but was laid down once
for all as the length of the Kings arm.
The decision was apparently simple, and
intended to be final. The King often
settled in person matters of dispute be-
tween his subjects, and in differences rs
to questions of measurement there could
always be q ready reference to the royal
arm. Somehow 1t did not seem to oc-
cur to Henry L. that one of his arms
might be longer than another, or that if
he practiced archery or otherwise de-
veloped the muscles of his upper limbs
the standard might be fuctuating.
Moreover, it did not at all follow that
his son would have an equally long arm,
and, If the heir to the throne were a
princess, elements of great confusion
were introduced in what was intended
to be final
In Edward lis time new criterion
was hit upon. The standard was set
tied by statute which ordained that
''three barleycorns sound and dry
should make an inch" As compared
with measurement by the royal arm this
standard was almost democratic in its
suggestion, but the barleycorn showed
unmistakably the predominance of the
agricultural interest. The inch being
thus ascertained, it was easy to construct
from that datum the foot, yard, perch,
and even the acre. The barleycorn, in
deed, figures constantly in attempts to
arrive at the methods of computation.
The object, however, seems to have
been to get q standard that was aecessi-
Bile rather than one that was invariable.
The authorities realized that seeds
plucked from the full ear were mora
popular as reference than the proper
tons of the royal arm. What was done
with the inch had already been done
with the ounce. The consent of the
whole realm was obtained to the propo-
sal put forward in the fifty-frst year Of
Henry Ill, that twenty pennies should
make an ounce, and that one penny
should weigh thirty-two wheat-corns
taken from the midst of the ear of corn.
And so matters stood for many years.

Storing Potatoes.


There is every indication that pota-
toes will bring good prices. The crop
is not large. There is q short crop in
Europe and every indication tends to-
ward high prices. Hence it will stand
farmers in hand to carefully save every
merchantable potato.
Potatoes should never be dug except
when the soil is in such condition that it
will not adhere TO the tubers. They
should lie in the air long enough to be-
come dry, but never long enough to wilt.
Two hours is enough in any dry day,
and often one hour is sufficient. Never
pick up the large and small together.
Take the merchantable potatoes first,
put them in pile and then pick up the
small ones, putting them in another pile.
Keep the piles covered, so the potatoes
can not become heated by the sun. Po-
tato tops are good, but clean slough hay
is better. Cover every night, or before
rain, with earth sufficient to save them.
They may thus remain until late in the
season, or until it is time to put them in
the cellar. cnr
II the crop is to be sold in the fall the
sooner it is marketed the better. Pota-
toes will shrink ten per cent. in weight
in q month and often twenty-five per
cent. before spring. Hence, as a rule,
the farmer makes more money selling
his potatoes directly from the field than
in keeping them over the winter. II
they are to be saved for spring it is alto
gether better, so far as shrinkage is
concerned, that they be kept in pits or
piles, rather than in q cellar. There is
no danger of freezing if they are prop
erly covered. Our plan is as follows:
Selecting a dry piece of ground, dig a
pit eighteen inches deep, three feet
wide, and as long as may be necessary.
Line the bottom and sides with long
straw or slough hay, throw in the pota-
toes, pile them above the surface as high
as they will lie, cover with straw, and
then with eight inches of earth. just
before cold weather comes on hay over
another covering of straw not less than
six inches thick and over this again
cover with eight inches of earth. We
never had crop thus treated freeze, in
the coldest winters, though it is good
precaution to cover the whole with horse
manure after steady freezing weather
comes, especially since this costs moth
ing, the manure being left on the land.
If you prefer not to dig below the sur
face they may be kept quite as safely
on the surface, though not so econom-
ically.
Why we have advised that the large
and small potatoes be assorted from
each other is that one uniform lot of po-
tatoes will sell for more than large and
small together, and also viii measure
about as much with the small ones out
as with them in. We used always to
sort in three lots-large, medium and
culls. We never had any difficulty in
selling the medium-sized potatoes, for
many grocers prefer them. They are
finer in quality and sounder through
than overgrown ones.-P Prairie Farmer.

Ice for Raising Cream.

The question Is often asked If cream
can be injured by being "raised" too
cold, and the only reply is, certainly. 1t
can be about or quite ruined 1t is a
well-known fact that under the old or
tin-pan system of butter making, if the
cream was frozen or chilled, the fine
nutty flavor of the butter was destroy 81;
even the grain was injured. and mealy
butter resulted. In many patent cream
ers brought out the cold setting princi-
pie is employed, the object being to
make a radical distinction between the
serums and the fats of the milk but
while the idea of intense cold may cause
the cream to be rapidly thrown up, the
same effect is produced as to allow the
cream to become chilled after removal.
Whenever cream, on or off the milk, is
forced below forty-five degrees, there is
danger of destroying the grain and
nutty flavor of butter, and the best re-
suits win always be found in a temper
ature between forty-five and fifty-five
degrees. In talking with a noted dairy
man of New York, recently, he made
the remark that the finest favored and
keeping butter in the world was made
in q room in which the temperature
could be kept at uniform point, and
the milk set In tin pans
A nice point is also being raised about
the chemical difference between cream
that is forced out of the milk in few
hours and cream raised by the old tin
pan process There may be and then
there may not be any. If difference
does exist il is thiss Cream that is rap
idly forced out of milk has got to be ex-
cluded from the air, {. E., raised in a
vacuum, and hence does not become
oxygenized, as is the case with cream
raised from open pans. The aromatic
flavor is now believed to be the result of
a decomposition of some of the elements
of the cream produced by the action of
the oxygen of the air, rather than the
feeding of any particular food to influence
this flavor. The rapidly raised cream
having been chilled by this contact with
ice water. has thus had a chemical change
before its contact with the oxygen of
the air; hence is not similarly affected.
Mix set in pals. in pool of water, with
their covers removed, so that the air can
come in contact with it while coming to
the surface, would probably not be in
ferior to milk set in pans in pure air
