Making Cheese on a Small Scale.

Our readers are indebted to Indiana
Farmer for the following directions for
making cheese in small way:
For the manufacture of cheese on a
small scale are required cheese hoop
about ten inches in diameter, with fol-
lower. new washtub and press The
milk should be taken perfectly fresh
from the COW and strained through
cloth into the cheese tub AS a gallon
of milk will make one pound of cheese,
the precise quantity used at time should
be noted. Part of it should be warmed
so that the temperature Of the whole,
when in the tub, shall be raised to 83
degrees Fahrenheit The rennet. thor
oughly cleaned and prepared. should be
then added, enough being used to pro-
duce curdling in about forty minutes. .
AS soon as the curd will break smooth
ly, it should be cut with curd knives into
squares, and then allowed to stand until
all the whey runs off Part of this whey
is then heated, the mass of curd is lifted
and broken into minute pieces and
warm whey is added until the tempera-
ture of the whole is raised SO degs Fab
renheit When cool, this operation is
repeated until the curd becomes crumbly.
easily falling to pieces when pressed in
the hand The whey is then all drained
off, and the curd put into the cooler and
cut up with curd knives; when the tenn
perature has fallen somewhat, it is
turned over and left until it assumes a
flaky condition When nearly dry salt
is added, and the whole is mixed thor
oughly with curd mill 1t is then
put into the bandage inside of the
hoop and is put on the press.
After remaining there from two to
four hours it should be taken out
and turned. The next day it may be
taken from the press and put on a shelf
to cure. While curing it should be
watched closely to keep all flies from it.

Our Animal Industry.

According to recent reports of the ma
tional statistician, the increased atten-
ton to horse breeding noticeable in past
years still continues, stimulated no doubt
to some extent by the low value of cat
tie. There is also an improvement in
quality as well as an increase in num-
bers, and the large English and French
breeds are popular and in demand for
draught horses. In the territories horses
are found to be thrifty and profitable
stock for the range, and the establish
ment of horse ranches has increased
their numbers.
The total increase appears to be nearly
half million, of which the heaviest
ratios are in the territories and in Texas,
Kansas and Nebraska. There has been
slight increase in mules, and the num-
Der of cattle of all kinds exceeds the esti-
mate of last year by more than million
There appears to be slight further re-
duction in the number of sheep. but there
are evidences of reinsurance in the future
of sheep husbandry, and already in some
sections slight increase is perceptible.
In the number of swine there is a marked
increase, ample for meat supply and to
aid in the consumption of the large corn
crop Of the past year.
On the whole the values of farm ami
mails, as reported by correspondents, are
but little changed from the returns of
January, 1888, but for the period begin
ming with 1880 the changes in the rela-
tive values of the different classes have
been very marked. Since that year the
increase in the value of horses per head
has been 81'per cent, and in mules nearly

Desirable Varieties of Field Corn.

The Leaning corn is a dark variety Of
field corn that is attracting attention
Peter Henderson claims that it with
stands severe drought, attributable to it's
earliness in maturing, strong and vigor-
Gus growth and it's stocky nature
James j. Fl. Gregory says: Of all the
large southern varieties suitable for the
silo, last season settled the question in
the minds of those who tested it, that
the Leaning is the best. 1t is tall and
leafy, and the large ears will mature in
Central New England"
The ears are set low down. and nearly
always grow two to each stalk The
cob is small and red, and the golden col
ored grains are deep and long

Drop as trustworthy flint variety of

eight-rowed, and resembles little the

small. The stalks average six feet in
height.

upon its circumstances. The growing
belief is that the value of this mode of
providing winter feed has been under
rather than over estimated, and that it
will pay many who now ridicule it. In
sections where long winters prevail,
there remains not a doubt about the
profits of silos and their contents.
A silo is simply box or pit. air tight
and water tight, in which green heritage
is placed, pressed down and covered.
