A Word About Skim Cheese.

How can make good skim cheese-~
You can not! You can make a palata.
Bile article, but it won't be good in
the sense the market requires. 1t is
made very much like any cheese. 1t is
one OF the arts that can not be taught
by written directions, but in substance
the milk must be warmed up TO So or
Sc . and considerable more rennet used
than with whole milk; say 4. or. best
rennet extract to ! GOO lbs. of milk. The
cutting and scalding should go slow,
to develop rennet action and convert
this curd into cheese. The usual skim
cheese is lcaden and indigestible, be-
cause too hastily made, and too little
rennet; and SO the cheese is never
much more than solid acid curd. As
soon as the whey shows acid, it should
be drawn off, and the curd then be kept
warm, and broken up until it will spin
readily on hot iron, when it should
be cooled down to about 70 Q and sailed.
using about one-fourth of pound of salt

must be cured in IA room that is as near
75o degrees as possible. Some allow
the curd to take ON strong acid i'm the

work slow, and put on the acid dry"

night of our 'possum hunt. They

company with pretty quadroon girl.
The supposition was that he had car
ried her off to free State and married
her. No one felt inclined to interfere
until the master of the slaves was heard
from. and by that time it was too late
to think of pursuit.
Nothing could be heard about old
Venus and her eonfederates. She was
still in camp. and held in great fear by
the negroes as a native African obeah

How Much Butter Is Spoiled.

Not only the flavor but the keeping
quality of butter is injured by keeping
the cream until it gets WY sour. Mold
gathers on it, and decomposition sets
in very soon, giving it rotten, bitter
taste, which is often found in new but
ter and which soon develops if not
there when it leaves the churn. A
large proportion of the private dairy
butter, which is so Objectionable and
goes at such low price as ''store but
ter is spoiled in this way. There is
not only a lack of care and cleanliness
generally in these dairies, which fills
the milk full of the germs of decom-
position, but these germs are allowed
to get well developed in the cream be-
fore it is churned. The facilities for
both raising and keeping cream are
bad, and the evils are all aggravated
by careless and long keeping. If we
could only get light into these diaries
it would be blessing. But we have
no way of reaching them. Their own
ers do not read nor attend dairy con-
ventions. They are often too ignorant
to read. The only remedy appears to
be to let them gradually die out and
give place to more intelligence.--Dairy
