Il HOUSEHOLD.
Too M Shade


Houses in places otherwise unexcep-
tionable are often SO closely overhung
with trees as to be in a state of humidity,
by preventing q free circulation of air,
and by ~obstructing free admission of
the sun's rays. Trees growing against
the walls of houses, and shrubs in con-
nedplaces near dwellings, are injurious
also, as fayoring humidity; at o proper
distance, on the other hand, trees are
favorable to health. On this principle.
says Dr.. james Clark, it may be under
stood how the inhabitants of one house
suffer from rheumatism, headache, dys-
pepsia. Nervous affections, and other
consequences of living in q confined,
humid atmosphere, while their nearest
neighbors, whose houses are otherwise
situated, enjoy good health; and even
how one side of o large building, fully
exposed to the sun and to a free circu-
lation of air, may be healthy, while the
other side, overlooking damp, shaded
courts or gardens, is unhealthy. Humid,
confined situations, subject to great
alternations of temperature between day
and night, are the most dangerous of
all the physical qualities of the air,
and humidity in general is the most in
furious to human life. Dryness, with a
free circulation of air, and o full ex-
posure to the sun, are the material things
to be attended to in choosing q resi-
dence.-Medicul Classics.

THE DAIRY.
Points on Cheese Making.

O-SS
On the farm the character of the crops
raised is largely gagged by the efficiency
of the utensils and tools used in their
cultivation. When we regard cheese
making the same rule holds good. To
produce marketable stock at a profit to
the manufacturer the plant must be
judioiously and conveniently equipped.
Coming from the West some years
ago, and visiting a number of factories
in central New York, I was surprised to
find the meagre and primitive equip
ment Of many of them. I found old
copper boiler watts in use that had seen
service over twenty-five years., and they
were so patched and soldered and rust
them only with difficulty. Evidence of
two decades ago still linger in many
cheese factories h%ereabout, andthe only
way improved utensils creep in is by the
collapse of time-worn tools, it having
then reached q point of actual neces-
sity.
Factory owners should possess a full
complement of modern improved cheese
utensils, but in many cases does there
exist encouragement for them to do it?
A man who controls a score of factories
can in the face of the present low prices
for manufacture still CLEAN a liberal in

facture who is his own proprietor and
maker the case is radically different.
What with old established factories,
Q creameries and milk-shipping
depots competition is very strong, and
a premium is often paid on individual
diaries merely to secure their milk for
manufacture.
I am personally cognizant of one case
where a far larger amount is paid for
the patronage of one dairy than the
manufacturer could secure back again
by making up the milk. In other words,
the dairyman gets his milk manufact-
ured for nothing, and receives a hand
some present besides. This may be an
extreme instance, but it illustrates how
for rivalry and under cutting will carry
some men. There are, however, a class
of mapufacturers who are seriously af-
fected by such q procedure. Their
means are limited. and their factories
are their sole business dependence.
Cheese and butter-making is their pro-
fession, and their plants are their bread
winners. They cannot afford to make
gifts to neighboring %dairymen, in order
to retain their patronage, and SO nor
wealthy competitors distribute noodle,
and carry off the spoils. I know of men
this season who must be running their
factories at q loss j II consequence of
this unequal contest. They must soon
succumb to the pressure, and seek other
business.
AS to the best cheese tools, heat by
steam, q boiler, if not an engine, is in
dispensable. Do not use one big vat.

Growers Besiege Congress,

The bill to permit States to stop the
original package" traffic in intoxicating
liquors is up for discussion this week.
This has sounded o note of war along the
lines of the liquor traffic from Boston to
San Francisco. A call has been made
for a rally of beer men at Washington to
oserwhelm Congress and defeat the law.
In their call the brewers say:
We are forcibly convinced by all that

Timber TOR Farm Use,

About this time of the year We near
that the month Of July; OF tho summer
months, ID the proper time fol cutting
timber to list we'll, and to do the most
service. Now, my experien6e; covering
more than thirty years of cutting large
quantities of all The varieties of wood
n timber, has proved that the spring
and summer months are the poorest Of
the year for cutting timber to last.
Other operators of experience in nv
neighborhood-have avoided cutting ship
mitch as possible during the spring and
bimthef months. They have considered
December and January to be the best
months fol cutting, although experience
proves that October, November, and
February will answer very we'll. Tim
Der should always be cut while in o dor.
mant state, both for wood and for man.
ufacturing purposes.
This has been proved by cutting hard
wood and timber and allowing the same
to lay over for a year or two. 1 have
always found the snmmer-cut timber to
decay much the quicker of the two.
Farmers would find it to their advan-
tage to cut their fencing stuff and draw
wanted. Their teams are strong and can
draw more at that season of the year
than in the hot days Of spring. Again,
by this method they will have better
material, and also hasten their spring
work.
There is a popular belief that posts
set top down will last longer than when
set butt down. Such is not the fact.
Both the butts and tops of the trees are
the poorest to last in the ground. The
former is ,open-grained and sponey,
while the latter is the last grown and
the most sappy, hence quickest to de-
cay. To prove this, set the first post
butt down and the second post top
down. The first post will rot in the
ground first, but with the second the
upper end will rot first.
The proper way is to cut off two or
three feet of the butt, and then set the
posts butt down, or else set the first cut
with the top down and the rest butt
down. When cutting small trees TO,
fence stakes, I Settle, first cut top into
the ground, and find they last Longer
than any other way.
Some scientists claim that if posts are
set butt down that the sap cells will be
brought into action, and supply the posts
with moisture. This argument does moi
that q section of q dead tree, without
root or branch, can perform the func.
tions of o live tree.
In orderto prove the truth and f~allacy
ofthe above, I set oak and pine posts
after they were perfectly seasoned
When they had been set several years
boled them late in the fall, after the
rainy season was over, also in the
spring, near the ground, and midwa,
above the ground, always finding then
dry. All who have post fencest to main
tain should have their posts cut at the
time herein described, and season then
thoroughly before setting. My expert.
ence for many years shows me that posts
cut and set in a green state never season
or dry through; and the first change il
towards decay.-Joseph Barnard, 4,

MAINE PROHIBlTIONISTS.
Temperance Declarations of the Old Par
tics Denounced as Meaningless.

Temperance Declarations of the Old Par
ties as Meaningless
The resolutions adopted By the Maine
Prohibition Convention, recently in ses-
sion OF Portland, demand State and ma
tional prohibition, and declare the third
party necessary to secure it; that the
Democratic and Republican parties each
contain a liquor element sufficient to pre-
vent any thorough enforcement Of pro-
hibitory laws by these parties, AID their
declarations on the subject are therefore
meaningless. The Governor and Coun-
Gil are criticised for their vacillating
policy in reference to petitions for the
appointment of special liquor constabies
in Penobscot and other counties. The
Australian ballot system and the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union are ap-
proved, and female suffrage is declared to
be only just. Considerable objection was
ma'e to this last, but it was finally
adopted. The convention nominated
Aaron Clark, of Buxton, for Governor.
