wise poor milk is heavily punished. Usu.
ally fine of twenty-five dollars is i'm.
posed and promptly paid, and the fear Of
this works as contant and needed check
on the unscrupulous and greeny. Each
patron, besides, has to submit, at any
time, to having his milk tested by an
emissary of the factory during milking
hours, and to having the result of this
test compared with that obtained from
milk delivered at the factory. If the two
tests do not tally he is sure to hear of it.
The milk when delivered is at once
emptied into large vats, each holding be-
tween $50 and 500 gallons. Then it is
heated by steam to a temperature OF
81 degrees. This is maintained for ten
or fifteen minutes. The coloring matter
is then added at the rass of II ounces to
every 1000 pounds of milk. Then the
rennet is put inte it, between three and
a half and four ounces of it to each 1000
pounds of milk. 1t is then allowed to
s'set" until the coagulation has proceeded
to that point where the whole becomes
solid mass, so that when the finger is in
serted into it the curd splits off clean,
without lesying any particles adhering to
the finger. At this point the curd is
solid enough to be cut, which, accord
ingly, is done at once. The curd is fed
to the cutter through hopper, and it il
thus cut up into small bits of even size.
This mass is next packed tightly into
the metal cheese forms, and as many OF
those forms as cheeses are to be made
are placed alongside of each other in the
press. One such press will hold enough
cheese forms to allow the making OF
1900 or 1000 pounds at one time. At
the Kypke Grove factory the average
daily quantity is 1900. pounds, which

PRESSING CHEESE.

and, in point of cheese, the leading one in
the State as far as quality and taste are con.
cerned. These are especially noteworthy
the three cheese factories at Kypke Grove,
at Portland and at Waterloo. Most Of
the cheese made there belongs to the
variety known as ''cheddar," weighing
about sixty-four pounds each, but in the
smaller dairies, manipulated by private
parties, ''fats" being of smaller size
and weight-are made.
The s'cheesemaker, or foreman at the
factory, is virtually the man who makes
or mars the reputation of cheese and
gives it its market value. Hence the i'm.
portance of securing the best possible
man, and hence, too, the comfortable
salary paid to such man. If possessed
of a fair amount of common sense to start
with, and with proper attention and in
dustry, young man may become an ex
pert cheesemaker within single year

The "cheesemaker" at the Kypke Grow
factory is Louis Woelffer, young man o
twenty-three. Though he has followe'
the trade but few y Ears, Mr.. Woelffe
has gained an enviable reputation as
man who understands his bushes

The curing room is built of stone,

fifteen days to undergo the curing OF

period in cheese life. If carelessiy han

LAKE HEBRON HOTEL.
MoNsoN, August 10.
Being here for afew days at this beautiful
summer resort appropriately named 1.-THE
Switzerland of Maine," with its grand
mountain scenery, lake and forest views, we
have found parties sojourning here from all
parts of the Union. While the seaside re-
sorts are complaining of dull business this
fine hostelry is full to overlooking and the
propretors contemplate adding one
hundred rooms to accommodate increasing
business with all modern conveniences for
the season of 1890.

be Of interest to the readers of the PRESS,
your correspondent called on R. c. Penney,
Esq, who cordially conducted him through
the quarrles and explained the msaus
0perdndi of producing slate at this, the
largest slate works in America. The plant
covers 1900 acres. There are four quarries
now open and two more to be opened at an
early day. These are fitted mp with all the
improved machines that have yet been in
vented fol the slate business, numbering
forty, including several of the company's
own invention. To operate these they en-
pl0y two hundred and twenty men at the
present time whose pay roll amounts to $1O,-
900 per month. The company whose head
quarters are in Boston have invested here
100000. They own and use 81 engines,
boilers and work shops. The boilers are of

They carry stock at all times worth $780,

We notice one large shipment now going

shown through the whole plant and witness
ed the blasting in the quarries, the hosting,
the cutting, trimming, planning and finishing,
and 1t Is wonderful to see the perfection of
the machinery.
All the quarries are connected by rail, and
shipments are made direct from them. The
company contemplate, and are now having
estimates made by electric light companies
for putting in dynamoS to do their whole
work, requiring an outlay of $4,000. This,

The Fourth Annual Report of the State
Board of Health makes volume of 1856
pages including the index. The outbreak of
diphtheria at the insane hospital is treated
at length, and it is very conclssively Demon
strated that the outbreak was the result of
contagion introduced from abroad and was
propagated by contagion. The Board credit
the officers of the institution with doing all
that was within human power under the
conditions that prevailed to stay the progress
of the disease, and with scrupulously follow
Ing all the suggestions of the Board. The
over crowded condition rendered perfect dis
injection impossible. A list of the sewerage
arrangements of the institution showed no
defect, and neither the appearance of the
disease nor its continuance is in any way at
tributable to any defects of plumbing. There
q long and exhaustive discussion of diph-
liberia in general, the conclusion seeming to
be that it cannot be set down as filth dis
ease, and that it almost always springs from
contagion direct or indirect. A very inter
esting chapter Of the report is that devoted
to water analysis. The frequent proximity

discloses. shows that sanitary education is
yet sadly needed in the rural districts.
There is very interesting and instructive
paper on the outbreak of typhoid fever at
Washburn. In all probability the cause of
that outbreak was the water from the shallow
wells which had become impregnated with
the germs of the disease. The Secretary has

tagiousness of consumption; and light gym.

tier, A. NJ, M. D., director of the Sargent
gymnasium at Bowdoin College in a practi-
cal paper in which minute directions for
gymnastics are given. The article is made
still more valuable by illustrations. The
report is by far the most valuable official
document that emanates from the State of
Maine. and If a copy of it could be placed in
every household it would be the means Of
doing vast amount of good.

COLD DESSERTS FOR HOT DAYS.
Spanish Cream.-Dissolve one half box of
gelatine in one pint of hot milk in double
kettle. When thoroughly dissolved, add the
yolks of three eggs and five tablespoonsful
OF sugar, stir constantly and when it begins
to thicken little, stir in the well beaten
whites Of three eggs, and one-half teaspoons
full of vanilla. Remove from the fire immedi-
ately and pour in pudding mold or dish
which has been previously dipped in cold
water. This cream can be made In less than
half an hour and should be left to stand in
cool place until the next day. Serve with
cream whipped or plain. Cake can be served
with it.
Lemon Jelly.-One box of gelatine dis

hour. Then add three pints of boiling water,
the juice and grated rind of four lemons and
ssweeten to taste. Strain through flannel
bag and pour in jelly molds. 1t must be
made the day before using and should stand

Another interesting revelation of the
scope of the contract labor law is furnished
by one Haziel, to whom money was sent by a
relative in Iowa to enable him to emigrate to
this country. he came, but was refused
permission to land on the ground that he
was imported in violation of the contract
labor law. There was every reason to be-
lieye that HAZEL would make a desirable
citizen, and there was very little ground for
fear that he would ever become a charge
upon the country, inasmuch as he had rela-
tives in this country able and willing to give
him start. But the contract labor law kept
him out Had he borrowed money enough
on the other side to pay his passage and
come here without any definite work in view
he would have been admitted. 1t is evident
that the law needs radical amendment. AS
1t is now its enforcement is quite as likely to
defeat the purpose Congress had in view as
to subserve it.

we discussed in these columns the rapid

American Summer Boarder, by the Cottager.

eastern coast At the time when we wrote.
the Boarder had been totally driven out of
newport, and was threatened with similar
fate in Lenox and Bar Harbor. and had
sought a precarious refuge in the White
Mountains, the Catskills, at Northeast Har-
Dor, and some other points along the shore
OF Mt. Desert Island. Since then his disan.
pearance from Bar Harbor may be said to
be complete. There are Boarders there
still, but they are only a feeble and dis
heartened remnant of once powerful and
loylal tribe, and try in every way to escape
observation or conceal their real character.

The Express now explains that when it
enjoined the American minister at London
to ''see to it, that Mrs. Maybrck was given
opportunities for justice equal to those she
would have in America, it meant simply to
ask him ito consider the propriety of making
such request and to make it if proper" So
it seems that when the Express enjoins its
foreman to ''see to it, that the forms are
ready for the press at certain hour all it
means il to ask him to consider the pro-
priety" of getting them ready at such an
hour, and get them ready if he thinks prop
er. Perhaps, however, this definition of
''see to it, is not yet sufficiently established
to make it safe for the foreman thus to act.
