Making Cheese in Small Quantity.

Since the establishment of SO many
creameries and cheese factories through
out the country, cheese making in fam
lilies has almost become lost art. The
nights and mornings milk may be put
together In large kettle and brought
almost to blood heat, when rennet is put
in and stirred up with the milk. After
that it must not be disturbed again until
1t has curdled and whey appears on the
top and sides of the kettle. Dip this off
carefully, so as not to break the curd and
cause q whitish whey. This whey may
be warmed and turned back to keep up
the temperature until the separation of
Of the whey from the curd is complete,
when it is oil dipped off again and the
hardened curd is cut from time to time
into inch squares with a large knife to
still further aid in the separation of the
whey.
After this the whole is dipped into @
coarse strainer cloth, spread in the cheese
basket and placed over tub to drain. 1t
Is then chopped In chopping bowl or
rubbed into small pieces and sailed ready
for the cheese hoops. when it is gently
pressed until the whey is all expelled. A
dried rennet is soaked in salt and water in
stone jar, and the amountsrequired will
depend on its strength and must be
learned by experience. A tablespoonful
to q gallon of milk is about the usual
quantity. When on the shelf to dry the
cheese must be rubbed daily with grease
made from heated butter until it is cured.
While quite small fruit or cider press
might be used, 1t would not be well
adapted to the purpose, and cheap one
made by carpenter would be better.

Crowdinr Ont Small Dealers.

The big shops in Paris have not formed
trust, but, as though by tacit consent,
they work together to crowd the small
dealers out of business. If two or three
of the small establishments drop prices to
gain trade, they are met by such q reduc-
tion on the part of their enemies that
they are threatened with ruin and are
glad to get back to the former rates. One
man, owning a small shop in the vicinity
of successful and wealthy rival. sought
to avenge his wrongs short time ago,
and to certain extent succeeded. On
several successive days he passed the big
store with concealed syringe in his
pocket, and whenever tho opportunity
offered he squirted ink on the exposed
white goods. In this way considerable
fine stock was destroyed before the author
of the mischief was discovered. Chicago
