Milk for Chess

Run the milk through an elevated
strainer in air Of the same temperature
as the milk, and you will find the ami
nal flavor gone. Take the new milk
and cool it rapidly with ice or cold
water and you get rid Of the heat, but
when you taste Of the milk you will find
that the favor is there, although you
viii not smell it very much until it is
warmed up, This is where the cheese
maker is very often deceived, TO wit;
The milk is brought to the factory cold
and he does not discover anything wrong
until he gets it heated up. Then his
trouble begins, for the milk is SO sweet
that he cannot get the acid to kill the
faint which is the inevitable result of
that way Of handling the milk
There is only one way that milk can
be properly taken care Of for making
cheese during the summer months, and
that is by exposing it to the air, by using
an elevated strainer, or pouring with a
dippcr from one can to another until the
temperature of the milk is about the
same as the surrounding atmosphere. If
this is thoroughly done the gas will be
entirely driven out, and the milk will be
about the proper ripeness for making
good cheese. Repeated experiments
show that this animal odor or gas in
milk, rather than acidity, is what we
haze TO contend with in our efforts to
improve the keeping quality of our
cheese, which is the greatest fault that
Is found with ii at the present time, and
What we must remedy if We are to com
pete with Canada in the markets of Eng
land. S. \. Smith.

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS,

and maintenance in charge, Any intelli-
gent farmer can sit down in his barn and
figure out on the clean head Of a barrel,
in fifteen minutes, the benefit that good
roads would DO him. Why more farmers
don't do it, and why the few who do
don't act in the matter, don't get up and
rustic for good roads rs earnestly as they
rustic for good government on election

Mr. Smith has a farm Of fifty acres, on

He has forcing beds by the dozen aud
his orchards are models in their way.
He Is a practical man in the true sense
Of the word Consequently he makes
money. Yet It is very easy matter to
prove to Mr. Smith that he might make
q good deal more in fact it has baan
proved to him many times that the bad
roads between his farm and Cleveland
shave fully 81 of profit off every load Of
produce which he sends to market And
yet he does nothing. Do you suppose

citizen, and Secretary and Treasurer of
the Admission Street Railway Company,

ton of the President of the Institution
to the father of the young man. giving
as a reason that he was so fond OF his dog
and gun that he was making ne progress
in his studies. Upon his arrivs, his father
gave him firm but kind :alk with the
view of inspiring him With a laudable
ambition to be man, aa9i make for him
self a worthy characte, IA the world, and
ended by telling him il must give up his
gun and dog. Tnt young man had been
heard to say before lie would part with
his dog, he wo.,ld kill himself, but no
one attached any importance to the re-
mark
After his father had ceased talking to
him he went to his room and got his gun
and large splendid setter dog, and went
out toward the mountain.
When he failed to return bis father be-
came uneasy, and dilgent search was
made for him in the vicinity and else
where, but no trace could be found of
the missing youth until Thursday night,
when his dead body, the body of his
faithful dog and his fine breech-loading
shotgun were found on the mountain,
about one mile from the city, among tn,
rocks, the scrubby oaks and the mount
ain flowers. The indications were that
he killed his dog and then reloaded his
gun and shot hiIiself, shattenng his head
to pieces.

gram of the finding of the body of their
son.-NeU Orleans Times Democrat.
