In Holland, cheese is made with the use
of hydrochloTic acid instead Of rennet, thus
making the coagulation more complete, re-
tanning ali the butter and giving d greater

In view OF the unblushing adulteration of

The best breed of hogs will degenerate if
not bred up TO the standard of vigor. In
breeding Injuries the hog sooner than it does
any other animal. Pure-bred boars should
always be used, and they should be changed
every year 1t is also necessary to keep the
stock growing from the beginning, and then
every year the hogs will improve.
Professor J. L. Budd relates the following
experience in the Iowa Homestead: Twelve
years ago ! purchased forty acres of recently
cut bluff timber land for the small sum of
$3.50. AT that time | might have secured
hundreds of acres of similar land, which is
now cut up into hemesteads whose occu-
pants make q Scanty living cultivating the
porous, washy soil. The forty acres is now
like an oasis in this uninviting tract, with
an even growth of white oak. red oak burr
oak, hickory, ash, red elm and other valu-
able timbers Thousands of these trees are
over one foot in diameter and peculiarly tall
and straight on account of their close growth
ii cleared to-day and the young timber uti-
lized at present prices for railroad ties, posts.

ceeds would far exceed the aggregate selling
value of the crops grown on adjacent tracts
of like extent for twelve years.
Besides the many disorders and derange-
ments common to the horse of quick mo-
ton, there is another class of annoyances
called accidents of work. Amongst these,
one of the most irritating and the most gall
ing is that known as cutting. 1t consists in
the striking of the foot, or rather the shoe
against the opposite leg or ankle, and is
caused by the build of the horse not being
such TO throw the legs far enough apart
when in motion. In walking there is not
generally much mischief DONE because even
a bad horse can control his limbs in slow
motion; and because, If struck, the blow
would be very light and harmless. The hind
leg suffers most, and ii is no uncomn- on
thing to see or feel a horse going very lame
for few strides after striking the inner edge
of the hind shoe against the joint of the other
hind leg. Unless measures be taken to guard
against the evil very tender, raw wound
viii be caused, and the horse will suffer great
pain, and viii be unfit for work.
