ROMS CHEESE DAIRY
A Thrifty Manager who Made One Pay
Well.

A Thrifty Manager who Made One Pay
Well
Mr. u. MIXED forty cows and had
farm OF some 300 acres in extent. He
raised some grain and vegetables and
kept flock of sheep, and raised II little
young stock AID a few colts. His main
moneycd dependence, however, was, Of
course, his dairy. Away back in the
fftics, when cheescmaking was Ia the
labor Of birth here in America, ID. turned
from butter 10 cheese. and he always
staid there.
He made full cream stock. although
he was not loath to take off Il little cream
for household use, rightly believing that
excess batterfat had better be in his coffee
than in the whey tub. d. dedicated a
rear wing of his dwelling house for a
mauufactory. one room of which con-
tanned an underheater vat Of l 800 pounds
capacity, Il press and neadful utensils,
and the other apartment was fitted with
shelves for curing the cheese
During the cheesemaking season the
nights milk was placed in this vat. and
its temperature reduced by prating, In
the morning the bulk of the cream which
had arisen was worked back into the
milk by washing through cloth strain
er, and then the mornings milk was
added. In average warm weather the
milk would he sufficiently mat,red by
the admixture of the new with the old,
but in cool weather the milk was judi
ciously held period of time at u warm
temperature, acquiring degree of acid
ity before infusion OF rennet.
Through the process of manufacture,
Mr.. ID. followed precisely the mode adj
hered TO by the best factory makers. OF
course he produced just us good stock,
and as dealers always regard quality and
not the place. where the cheese is made,
he got just as much, and oftcniimes a
fraction of a cent more, Oil II pound than
neighhoring factories. He kept swine
enough to consume the whey eliminated,
and having it right Mt his door he was
saved the labor Of going daily two miles
to a factory and fighting for his share
Of the swill with hoggish patrons
A dairyman who makes up his butter
or cheese at home, provided he gets no
more for the product than is realized by
factories, is sure of saving to his own
purse the price charged for associated
making. When he has a large dairy
and is far from Il factory this may be-
come Il prime object to him.
No dairyman, however, ought to
launch into private cheeSemaking with
ont some experience in the art-George

In addition to the machine. the method
requires the following appliances:
A pipette Zig. y for measuring the
nalnple Of milk. 1t is about half an inch
in diameter and five inches long.
Flaslss like that in Fig. 9, in which the
tests are made. These are five inches high,

measured, is graduated accurately into
one-tenths to 10 per cent, the ten spaces
containing l.5 C. c., and being two inches

well annealed glass and very seldom
break.
Amylic alcohol to dissolve the fat.
The rectiiied kind Is the more reliable,
but the commercial answers quite well

Sulphuric acid, the strong commercial

In some favorable localities on the
north shore Of Long Island the farmers
aim to have lima beans to ship to the
New York market in late October or
the early part of November says Tho
American 4 griculturist, To accomplish
this end Il location facing and exposed TO
Long Island sound is chosen, 50 rs to get
the wind from the sound at night in Oc-
tOber, thus warding off frosts, which
come 10 farmers i'll the interior and on
the west end Of the island. The beans
are planted about July /, using poles for
a part of the crop, and planting the re-
mainder without poles The vines are
allowed to run on the ground, and pro-
duce a fair crop if the fail is not too wet:
but il the season is very wet the beans
will milldew. One very successful farm
er planted two grains of sweet corn in
each hill ms ead OF poles The liiGas ran
on the cOrnstalks and produced a good
crop, In addition to the beans he mark
eted fair crop Of sweet corn, at a time
when it WAS about out Of market and re-
allied Il handsome profit from it. Largo
fires are often built to the windwaTd OF
the field OF beans if there is danger of
frost. 1t is surprising how little fire is
needed to prevent a frost The danger
usually occurs toward morning The
marketing is done il the same manner
Is early crops. The crop always pays u
fair profit, while sometimes it is very
relnunerative, the price being as high as
five dollars per bag Of one and half
bushels Of pods.

Wearing Of the holes is prevented by
making bearings of tin. One end of the
axle is squared and slightly tapered to
fit into the whirler. A close fit is So
cured while the iron is hot. The small
pulley is II inches in diameter and keyed
to the axle. The wheel may be Of wood
or iron, fifteen inches in diameter, turn
ing on a bolt through the table leg. The
most essential thing to secure in the con-
structiOn Of the machine is the accurate
ceutering of the whirler on the axle.
If properly constructed the machine will
run with n steady motion at high
speed. When not in use the whirler can
be quickly removed and the table

The accuracy of the test depends on
the correctness of the sample. 1t should
represent the whole lot from which it is
taken. Owing to the tendency of cream
TO rise, uniformity can be secured only
by thorough mixing If samples are TO
be taken al one time from number Of
COWS or cans, it is well to have for each
small bottle or jar with distinguish
ing number or label. Milk fresh from
the COW is easily sampled by pouring it
a few times from one pail to another,
and strainng a portion at once into the
bottle. Before taking a test sample
from this, mix again by gently shaking
and inverting.
The samples that have been collected
may bc tested within a few hours, or
may be kept number or days by the
use of a preventative. Number the TASKS
