1t is said that the development of
flavor can be fastened by subjecting
the cheese to strong current of air.
The flavor is developed by the process
OF oxidation. If the cheese is kept in
too close air during the process of cur
ing, it will be likely to be deficient in
flavor. Country Gentleman.
-Co-operative dairying is no longer
an experiment. 1t has been be-
fore the country long enough to demon
strate its economy, and to prove that a
factory for cheese or butter-making
will be good investment from the
start, in any good dairy region, if it be
well managed.
Professor l.. B. Arnold says that
cheese, when properly made, and thor
oughly cured, so that all of its substance
is available for food, has twice the value
of butchers meat for sustaining life, and
is quite as easily digested, and as whole
some. But many circumstances inter-
fere with its perfection, the first. of
which is poor milk.
One of the many annoyances which
dairymen are subjected to at this time
of year is milking while mosquitoes and
flies are SO thick. Very many hard
words and great deal of trouble might
be avoided by using a little invention
gotten up by some ingenious Yankee,
called a cow-tail-holder,. 1t is well
worth the while for every dairyman to
investigate this matter. = Western Rural.
If you are having trouble with the
quality of your butter, just take down
the scythe from the old apple tree and
march out into the pasture, and stay
there until you have cut down every
weed you can find. There is no weed
known to botany that makes good milk;
they are the natural enemies of every
product OF the farm, and to dairy prod.
ucts in particulars. american Dairy

Every dairy farmer should take
measures TO remove all noxious weeds
from his pastures. The cows will
eat of these weeds and the milk will be
favored by them. Not long since q
butter maker had some trouble with
his butter. it having a disagreeable
flavor about it, After investigation he
found that the cows of one of his pat
rops had eaten some noxious weeds,
the milk was tainted by the flavor of
the weeds and the butter spoiled. A
little care and labor on the part OF that
one farmer would have prevented the

When dairyman complains of a
want of profit in his business he must
remember there can be but g few causes
for his failure to succeed. To be sure
he may be able to sum up host of
troubles that he has met with, and
those little troubles may have been the
ultimate cause of his failure, but he
should bear in mind that the man who
can not overcome the little obstacles Of
which he complains has no business
trying to make a dairyman of himself.
He should 90 into some other business.
While it may not be proper to say that
dairymen are born, not made, it GER
tainly is a fact that men who have sub.
sequently become very successful in
other lines of business have made strik-
ing failures in this field. Every occu-
patton has its peculiar requirements
and the dairy is no exception to the
rule. The Dairyman. sef
The profitsof winter dairying seem
to be attracting attention even in the
far West, and it seems passing strange
that the farmers of Ohio are SO slow in
making move in this direction. The
prices that have ruled for butter this
season one would think would have the
tendency to impress the greater profits
OF winter dairying upon their minds. 1t
is not claimed that butter can be pro-
duced as cheaply in January as June,
but the increased prices that it readily
commands more than compensates the

perhaps. But this information when
needed is easily obtained from many
sources. As for the demand and market
there are in every town and city many

them if they are reliably good. And
this same class of consumers will pay
well for winter butter if they can get it
