MEMORIES or CHILDHOOD.


Blest is the reeolleetiOns
0fehildhood's happy hours;
The morning suns reflections,
The evenings shady bowers
The stars that Shone so brightly
From out the vault of Heaven,
The sweet rspose that nightly
To innocence is given.
Now these are changed aud never
Their ligh' will be the same;
Times reckless hand doth sever,
Aud qaeaeh the youthful fame.
The same stars shine in spleudor.
Tn" sun emits bright rays,
Bnt our hearts are not as tender
As tLey were in other days.

Cheese and Butter Making.

The american Farmer saws that the
low price of cheese during the winter
of 1852 and 1888. or at least the small
supply and slow demand for exporta-
ton. will strike the minds of many
dairymen with the notion that there
will be but little profit in cheesemaking
the next year or two, and there will
therefore be a farge exodus from cheese
making to buttermaking. There i
always too much of this sort of thiny
in every line OF business, and the prob
abilities are that this next winter will
find the butter business equally over
done.
With the exception of a few lucky
strikes. where men have happened to
make their changes Just in the nick of
time. As a rule. the man who sticks to
his business through thick and thin.
with an eve steadily bent upon the i'm
provement of his product. will. in the
long run. excel all others. and secure
the best average profit from one season
to another.
Many men. in building factory.
prepare it for making either or both
butter and cheese. with view of tax
inc advantage of the Misunderstanding
butter when it sells high or making
cheese when it sells high. This lack
at-all-trades business is always quail
fed failure. While it may pay its way
and by good business management re-
turn fair income. the chances are that
the man who. relies upon these two
stools will pro5ablt fall between them.
1t is not one factory manager in a
thousand who can make fine article
of both butter and cheese. The one
talent is Just about rs much as any one
man can carry. and it is, therefore, I'M
wise. if he is found to excel in one
field. to burden him with the response
bility of another. To be sure. every
good cheesemaker thinks he is good
buttermaker also, and every good but
termaker thinks he knows how to make
good cheese, but when the market test
comes to be applied to the work of
these men. it is invariably found that
each one might better have stuck to the
work he cid know how TO perform.
The slow process of building up
market for an extra good article ALWAYS
pays best in the end. for one simple
reason-that so few men have the
patience and perseverance to practice
it.
In view of the shove. we notice by
our exchanges that the dairymen of the
western and other large dairy districts
contemplate going into buttermaking
this season.-GhicdgO Herald.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1883-06-29
Practical Points i'm Cheese Making.

A large part of the cheese made is
spoiled because of some little error or
acknowledgement in the making or cur
ing of it. Ii one knows how it is not
much more difficult to make the first
quality of cheese than to make the
poorest. Those who make the best
cheese have no difficulty in selling If
for good price, and find it profitable:
but those who make poor cheese find
it difficult to sell at any price. and
complain that it costs more to make
cheese than it will sell for. There is
quite difference between the price of
the best cheese and that of the poorest.
1t undoubtedly seems to those who
make poor cheese that there is too
great difference made; but those who
consume the cheese sometimes think
that the difference is not great enough.
Good cheese. well ripened. is val
liable and wholesome article of food.
1t contains 4 large percentage of yalu-
able nourishment, in an easily digested
form. In fact, such cheese is some
times an aid TO weak stomachs, pro-
noting the digestion of other food.
The rennet used in making the cheese
carries on in the cheese during the pro-
cess of ripening a digestive process.
and like yeast multiplies itself, SO that
in well-cured cheese there is present
digestive ferment, witch
assists the stomach in digesting food
Gmperfectly cured cheese, on the other
hand, is very difficult of digestion. The
curd of which it was made has never
been softened down by the digestive
action of the rennet, but remains hard
and indigestible. Such cheese is no
aid to n weak stomach. On the con-
trary, only the strongest stomachs are
capable of digesting it. Such cheese is
dear at any price.-N. 7. EEdminer.

THE DAIRY.

In order to raise fine calves with as
small an allowance of milk as possible
and vet keep the calf growing. there is
no better food than crushed oats. They
should be soaked for twenty-four hours
before feeding to get the best results.
A small allowance of cotton seed meal
will not go amiss.-Erchange.
Speaking of the probability that
the present low price of cheese willlead
many who are now engaged in cheese
making to change to butter-making and
thus Overstock the butter market next
winter, the american Ddiryman OBJ
serves that with the exception of few
lucky strikes, where men have hap
pened to make their changes just in the
nick of time, as rule, the man who
sticks to his business through thick and
thin, with an eve steadily bent upon the
Improvement of his product, will in the
long run excel all others, and secure
the best average profit from one season
to another.
Cheese buyers report that the
market is in no way crowded with the
finest quality for which there is a very
good demand. Skins, half skins and
iron-clad skins are more than numer-
Gus, and unless the demand improves
very soon there will be many total
losses on this class of goods. These
same skins are said to be of poorer
quality than usual this spring. Very
little grass is vet to be detected in the
make of the best quality of cheese,
owing, we suppose. 'to the unusually
late spring.-The DGirymdn.
We would suggest to those farmers
who this season for the first time I'M
dertake dairying for business. to con-
slider the matter well and to by no
means neglect the care of their cows
or the care of their milk when the hur-
rying time of having and harvesting
comes on. If they do. lessened receipts
will be the result. The manufacturers,
too. have a responsibility resting upon
them. They should frequently visit
their patrons and instruct them prop
erly. in kind. vet forcible manner. as
to the utmost care of everything per-
tanning to the dairy. Unless good,
clean milk or cream is furnished. they
need not expect good butter or cheese.
We have some apprehension that some
of the beginners will make failure
and then blame the system. whereas if
they would exercise care and Judgment
they would be the gamers and monthly
they would receive their pay, which
would enable them to become cash buy
ersfor the necessaries of life. The rosy
sides of dairying comes when the farm
cr receives the cash for his product in
regular weekly or monthly installments,
and when by care and common sense
he increases the amount of that pro-

Southern DomeSticity and Homes.

There are two phases of Southern
life which are but little appreciated at
the North: Its domesticitv and it
humor. The conventional planter OF
the ante-bellum era was careless.
boastful. staggering tyrant: his wife
and daughters equally careless in re-
gard to the home life. its comforts and
economies. as ne of the administration
Of his boundless acres. Both ideas
were almost equally incorrect. The
Southern planter, rs 4 rule, was care
full administrator of his estate: not in
the same snug and tidy manner of
which the Northern farmer boaStS-he
did not work and fuss and worry over
all the details of farm management as
much as his compeer of the North. nor
was his sense of fitness outraged by a
lack of completeness and order which
would have driven the farmer Of the
Middle States into an insane asylum.
There was q sort of laxitv about his
methods which was hard for the North
ern man to distinguish from slothful-
ness. Yet he watched with care the
development of the crops, the progress
of his work. and was no doubt better
director of labor than could generally
be found upon the Northern farm.
With ignorant labor and crude ma
chinery he achieved good results. 1t is
especially with regard to the domestic
life of the South, however. that false
ideas prevailed At the North. the
planters family has always been
credited with hospitality of a lavish,
careless kind, but q very small proper
ton of the people of the North have
ever supposed that the planter wife
was very generally q Martha of the
most anxious and troubled variety.
The difference of method betwixt the
Northern and the Southern house
keeper has been SO great that the
former has very often been inclined tc
elevate dainty nose in scorn of any
professed requirements of the latter.
So. too, the hurly-burlv of our North
ern life; its sharp competition and the
constant influx of the outside world
have been such as to prediSpoSe Us &c

of the Southern home. 1t is not often
as strictly ordered or administered

that characterizes the Northern house,

more faithful purveyor of comforts
than the mistress of Southern planta-

life: the rarity of strangers visits and
the care with which even the most dis

TO make the domestic life of the better
class of the South very charming and
delightful.-Judge Toarges, in Tie Con-

There Is some talk Of putting ON .
regular English train between New York
and Boston. Everything in the way Of
luxury. comfort, speed and safety has
already been perfected. There are no
such cars and engines in the world as
the Consolidated road runs. yet, wishing
always to supply an unsatisfied public.
the experiment of running q train of
English coaches has been agitated. En-
glish engines, with no cabs and one pair
Of eleven-foot drivers, will be imported;
also, first-class compartment coaches,
seating eight persons in each part. or
twenty-four persons in each car. The
high rate of speed accomplished in Eng
land is attained by running small trains;
80 here but four of these cars will be used
on each train. One train will leave New
York and one Boston simultaneously
each day and make the run in about five
hours. The train may possibly carry the
mail. paying a pound minute to the
Government for each and every min
ute's delay-just as they do in England.
The guard will pass along on the out
side of the train and collect the tickets
through the windows. There will be no
ventilation and not much comfort to
speak of. but then lit will be English"
There will be no water, no toilet-room.
and the passengers will be locked in
and unlocked only at their destination
all so English! The fare will be about
$50, or -four pun. me lud, and the port
manteaus will be pasted and not
checked. The full fares and postal SER
vice will net something over 1900 each
trip. There are SO many that go every
thing English. that it is expected that
coaching clubs. English pug-dog own
ers. polo-players, fox-hunters and dudes
will patronize and roll up the receipts
of the new train. 1t will not be neces-
sary to use any of the new 100000
loan. as it is known fact that anything
brought over here that is English al
ways pays. and pays well. One of the
trains should be called the FLYING
