There are pleasant old farmhouses
where for generations brilliant birds
with long trains parade in and ont among
the trees on the lawn, and screech in the
most atrocious manner whenever-such
is the belief-rain is approaching. The
farm people here, with an eye to the
beautiful, rear peacocls just for their
gorgeous feathers.
There is 10 profit in these birds be-
yond their splendid tail feathers, which
may sometimes be sold to fauciers for
Lru hes anil fans, Yet the creatures are
handsome enough to need no excuse for
their rearing. In the days OF the Roman
cnperors ~ great feast was perfect with
out its dish of pcacocks' brains and
tongues. Thon thnre was profit in tus
kind Of poultry raising, even though
there were no incuba,or-. But now We
vote the flesh dry and tough and not fit

they would be as diStastcful "a the

pies are fond Of. Yet the old Romans

The cheese committee Of the London
Qlngland) Home and Foreign Produce
exchange has issued the following circu-
lar in regard to the American cheese
trade, Since the European demand for
cheese is considerably larger than that
for butter, this circular closely concerns
cheesomakers and exporters in the United
States:
At the opening Of a new cheese season
we think it may bo useful 70 record
some experiences Of the American cheese
trade in 1901. For some years past
the United States product has been wan
ing in popularity on the London market;
relatively because Of the advance in the
Canadian make, both in quality and
quantity; positively because Of - Gi3-
tinct deterioration from the caIiior
standards. TO find ~ factory which,

for choice article is now the exception.
1t is a matter OF universal complaint
here that the American supply has not
come up to thesa essential conditions,
with the result that losses and disap-
pointments have been numerous. The
goods have, on arrival, only too often
proved to be either porous in the make
and with an excess Of moisture, or, on
the other hand, tight and lcathery, in
both cases developing bal keeping quail
tiles, the moist, loose cheese booming

become mellow. There haVe also been
complaints Of color flying badly.
Earlier in the season tho cAecscs were
shipped too green, an! equantly,
during the summer mont at least, suf-
fCrel seriously in transit, the natural
development being arrested and the
cheese epoilt, More careful attention to
strong, well fitting boxes and good coop

good for the October make.
