Cheese for Home Use.

The following essay on How to make
the best and cheapest cheese for home
use," we take from the Farmers Advocate,
published at Ontario, Canada. The au-
thor, Miss Maggie Webster of Prince Ed.
ward Island, is practical cheese maker.
Her essay won one of the prizes offered
by the ADVOCATE:
"Every pound of cheese requires ten
pounds of milk, and a ten-pound cheese
is about as small one as can be conven-
iently made. A clean tub which will hold
the milk, and boiler large enough to hold
ten gallons will be needed. A small
press, which any smart boy can make,
with lever to hang stone upon, will
also be required, and then the know
how is all the rest. Making cheese is
chemical operation, and depends greatly,
like all other such work, upon tempera.

and the grain hauled to the mill owned by
Mr.. Kendall for storage. Altogether there
was a crew Of twenty horses and twenty.
five men at work harvesting the oats and
threshing them, and the scene presented
by the work was quite unlike anything
ever before witnessed in Maine on 80 large

The Wealthy Apple.

We copy the following concerning the
Wealthy apple from the Canadian Horti-
culturist, contributed to that magazine by
Mr.. A. Hood of Barrie, Ontario:
Advertising new varieties of fruit be-
yond their deserts has really become so
much the custom, as all fruit.growers are
aware, that no one expects them to an
swer their descriptions, and if they do,
and If by any chance they should turn out
actually better, not only better than ex-
pected, but better than promised, there is,
what shall call it? Disappointment,
but that is not good word; it is true
you may have expected, in the light of
previous experience, some sort of short
coming or failure, and not getting what
you expected, it would naturally be said
you are disappointed such is the nature
of my disappointment with the Wealthy
apple. had been led to expect some
thing similar to the Fameuse something
better had been promised, but you know

fore, my delight on finding the tree as
hardy and healthy as crab, and seeing
the perfectly-shaped specimens of fruit
without spot or blemish that were growing
on my trees, daily increasing in size and
coloring as they grew beautiful red, not
so dark as the Fameuse, but more attrac-
tive, till they approached as near perfec-
ton in appearance as could be wished !;
perfect in shape and averaging larger In
size than that once famous variety, and
producing as much fruit on sixteen trees
last season as the rest of the orchard,
although comprising no less than two or
three hundred trees that were planted at

for eating and its qualities for cooking 2
At present, l must acknowledge myself
not fully qualified to give an opinion all
the apples l could find on my trees were

in my own family and amongst my
friends, and pronounced very good, and I

were in as good condition for eating as l
could ever expect to have them but pas.
sing through my orchard quite late in the
fall am not sure but some snow had
fallen previously-I found under one of
my trees two Wealthy apples, and they
proved to be much superior to those pre-
viously tried; they had acquired certain
aromatic flavor not unlike that of pear,
which placed them in my opinion in the
front rank as dessert apple; those tried
for cooking were in an unripe state, and
as such not equal to the Red Astrachan

be used for cooking, their proper place is

Horses without Shoes.

A correspondent writes: cover three
years ago, articles appeared in several
papers, advising the working of horses
without shoes, and at the same time CIV
ing the experience of several persons who
had used them without shoes with com.
plete success. l was 80 impressed with
the statements, that was induced to have
the shoes of one of my horses taken off.
l turned him out to grass for about a
month, and then put him to work, lightly
at first, and, must confess, with fear and
trembling; but after a trial l was 80
pleased with the result that l took the
shoes off my other two horses, and have
worked them without shoes ever since,
now about three years. find they work
better, are more sure-footed, and far less
liable to lameness, than when shod, and
am we'll satisfied that horses feet as Ma
ture made them are all-sufficient for ordi-
nary work, and, believe, for extraordi.
nary work. After my long experience,
should now as soon think of going to a
farrier myself to be shod as to send my
horses for that purpose. What surprised
me most was that one Of my horses was
continually falling lame, and we never
could discover the cause; but, since she
has been worked without shoes, she has
never shown the least symptoms of lame
ness, and never stumbled, which she did
very much when shod, from which infer
that the pairing the soles when shoeing
made her feet very tender, and was the
cause of all the trouble. Our roads are
rough, billy and stony, much more 80 than
the average roads; so that my success
cannot be attributed to superiority in this
respect. Equestrians would find it far
safer to use horses without shoes, as the
sole becomes so hard as to be NONSENSE
tive to small stones, and the animals are
thus far less liable to stumble. To pre-
vent the hoofs from chipping, the toes
should be kept slightly rounded by a
coarse file, such as is used by farriers,
and, as the feet should always be looked
to when the horse is groomed, the time
required to do this is very trifing."--

More Chemical Farming-.-A Big
Dat Crop,

Some time since we gave an account
(from the Home FARM of a series of ex-
periments instituted in Maine to test the
question whether common grain and grass
farming, on poor pine plain land, could
be made to pay by the use of chemical
manures alone. These experiments are
still being continued by the same party,
Mr.. W. B. Kendall of Bowdoinham, Me.
We copy again from the Home Farm,
whose editor (the Hon. S. l.. Boardmsn,
ex-secretary Maine Board of Agriculture)
has taken great interest in these tests.
"On the ride up from Harwards's Road,
on the Maine Central, to Mr.. Kendall's
large oat field, we stopped to look at his first
experimental field of ten and half acres,
to which we have before referred. This
was taken in hand four years ago, sowed
with oats and seeded down, having been
dressed with ground bone at cost of
about $25 per acre. Aside from the crop
of oats, which yielded 5000, the first crop
of hay was fourteen tons, the second crop
eighteen tons, and the third crop-the
present year-thirteen and half tons.
The clover now stands more than ankle
high on much of the field, and WAS all
headed out at the time of our visit. After
this has produced another crop of hay, it
will receive top.dressing of bone-Mr.
Kendall starting with the idea that the
fertilizers first applied being sufficient to
keep the field in good condition for five
years. So far this field has paid for itself,
for all put upon it, all labor of caring for
the several crops, and an interest of
twenty per cent on the capital invested.
The large field of eighty acres was next
visited. This, as we understand, IL owned
in two lots by Mr.. Kendall and his brother
Ned, as he is familisrly called for short,
but they lie adjoining and are practically
one field-the town road passing between
them. On the thirty acre lot, this is the
second year it has been in oats on the
fifty acre lot the first, it having been
broken up in the fall of 1882 and fallowed
during the summer of 1858. The entire
lot was sowed to Hogan oats April 81 to
May IL, last, wet weather interfering
with the work to some extent. The thirty
acre lot received good dressing of ground
bone, about 900 pounds per acre, in the
spring of 1882, but none this last spring (;
the fifty acre lot was dressed in like man
ner at sowing last spring. The season has
been favorable for the crop, indeed it has
been very favorable for all grain crops,
and harvesting was commenced the 14th
of August. At the time of our visit this
magnificent oat field presented busy
scene. To begin with, Mccormick
reaper and binder purchased by Mr.. Ken
dali this spring in Chicago, and the first
and only reaper ever put in operation
in Maine, to which three horses were
attached), was driven by Mr.. Ned Ken
dali. This reaper cuts breadth six
feet wide, and binds the bundles in good
shape, with Irvine, tossing them out upon
the stubble. Three tbreshing machines
were stationed at different parts of the
field and were in full operation teams
were hauling from the field to the several
