The milk is to be heated to about
eighty-fve degrees, and then rennet
added to the proportion of about twenty
grains to ten gallons of milk. Cover
the vessel with a cloth, and allow it to
stand long enough to curdle. This is
ascertained by putting spoon or knife
in, and if nothing adheres to it the
curd is ready. About forty minutes is
sufficient. The forms used are of tin,
cylindrical in shape, and about four
inches deep by four inches in diameter,
pierced at the sides with small holes
The curd is filled into these with a
spoon, taking care not TO break ii up in
doing so. The tins must stand on
small straw mats. AS the whey runs
off the mass will sink. To facilitate
this, the form should be turned over
every day, and small quantity of salt
rubbed in. AS soon as sufficiently solid
the form is removed, and the cheese,
then about an inch thick, is put in a
cellar, at about fifty-eight degrees, to
dry, and turned daily. Blue mould
will appear on the surface, and in about
three or four weeks it is ready for mar
ket. The correct condition is whitish

New England Agriculture.

At the recent meeting of the Con-
necticut Board of Agriculture that very
practical scientist, Professor w. H.
Brewer, gave an address on "The Past
and Future of Connecticut Agricul-
ture," which applies to all of New
England as well. OF the agriculture of
his state, early in the century, he says:
"The present depression in Con-
necticut is not as severe or as dis
tressing as in some of the newer states,
and agriculture will revive here even
before it does in the newer states like
Kansas and Dakota. The depression
is not local, but extends over the whole
of Christendom and has its sources in
economic and social laws rather than in
legislation or political movements. The
early history of Connecticut agriculture
is intensely interesting, and no other
part of the whole world was settled by
the immigration of better stock of
men than this was during the first two
centuries of its existence as colony and
state. During the whole of this period,
say down to 1910, nearly all'o the food
of the world had to be grown within a
few miles of its place of consumption.
For more than $50 years of our history
nearly all of the inhabitants of the state
were farmers, or at least did some
farming, and lived in the country or in
the small villages. There were no cities
whatever, and no town was so densely
populated that every well-to-do man
did not till some ground or raise some
live stock. We had eminent profess
sional men, the lawyers and the clergy
men of Connecticut have made his
tory well known TO the world, and they
all titled some ground and were in
sympathy with country life. There
were no classes" then, and the law
yer could talk intelligently about the
best soil for rye; the clergyman knew
what crops best suited the soil of his
region; the merchant knew the merits
of the mich COW, and no editor would
grow merry over chen laws" This
meeting on common ground was an
enormous advantage to the population.
The farmer surely gained by contact
with the country professional men and
tradesmen, and, on the other hand,
such woful exhibitions of ignorance of

The Hen Problem Solved.

This famous hen problem, " If hen
and half lay an egg and a half in a
day and half, how many eggs will
six hens lay in seven days?" has gone
the rounds of the papers, but none of
them have given the correct answer.
People have puzzled their brains over
it, and "given it up" when told that
their solutions were incorrect. The
correct answer is twenty-four, although
the mathematical answer is twenty
eight. The solution is simple: One
hen will lay in a given time two-thirds
as many eggs as hen and half :;
hence in this case one hen will lay two
thirds of an egg and a half, which is
one egg in one day and half. Begin
ming Monday morning, the first day
and half ends Tuesday noon, when
the first egg has been laid; the second
period of day and a half ends Wednes-
day night, the third, Friday noon, and
the fourth, Saturday night, making
four eggs laid by the hen up to that
time. As it takes day and half for
the laying of an egg, no account can be
made of the seventh day, the next egg
not being laid until the following Mon
day noon, half a day after the seven
days are up. Thus one hen lays four
eggs and six hens twenty -four in the
seven days.-Southern CuItiyatOr

Seeding with Hungarian Grass.

Professor Henry of the Wisconsin
Experiment Station tried sowing grass
seed with Hungarian grass, and failed
to get catch. He thereupon declared
it Z" entirely useless to attempt to seed
down land with Hungarian, as is the
practice with grain" In reply to this,
the Maine Farmer says: Yet in our
own vicinity many farmers are yearly
doing this same thing, and with the
best of success. Some extremely heavy
crops of Hungarian have been grown
within sight of where this is written,
seeded in that way, and were followed
by as fine fields of grass as any expert
ment station need ask for"

VIZ think all readers of farm pape,

WE think all readers of farm papers
ought to be warned against the boom
ing of the hen business which appears
periodically, and is so prominent in
pap RS which have Poultry Depart
ment edited by poultryman. The
temptation to exaggeration on the part
of such editors is too great to make it
safe to take their statements of profit
without considerable allowance. The
following item from the Tribune, shows
the extent to which humbug will go, in
the hen trade: I" Wanted, party with
$4,000 to join me on hen farm; can
keep 40 900 hens and sell 1000 dozen
fresh eggs daily at five cents extra.
Each hen will pay net 50 to So yearly
This is genuine advertisement, paid
for and printed in an agricultural
paper lately. To men with practical
knowledge it is piece Of keen humor;
still it is likely to catch some unso-
phisticated one, who doesn't know that
in this transitory world nothing is more
uncertain than profit from poultry"

French Thrift.

spent the autumn in Brittany, and
there | heard that peasants in the neigh
borhood had walked from there to the
exposition, three or four hundred miles,
starting with three or four shillings in
their pockets. They worked their way
along, caring for and gathering the har.
vests of roadside employers. They saw
Paris and then worked their way back
again, and when they returned to Brit,
tany they had three or four pounds in
place of the shillings with which they
started. That is an example of the
thrift which makes France the richest
country in the world. Outside of Paris
there is not pauper in the whole OF
France, man who has to live on the
community.

Now, " right off," we must put in
the declaration that we are not OPP
posed to poultry-keeping, nor even to
making it specially, under favorable
conditions. Every farm should have
its flocks of poultry. Well cared for,
they are among the best paying things
we can ever have. They are the
g snappers up of unconsidered trifles, -"
and are thus an important element of
profitable farming. But even worse
than human beings poison and destroy
themselves, and their progeny, by
crowding into cities, do fowls poison
and destroy one another under similar
conditions. About all the profit made
from fowls is made on the farms where
not more than twenty-five to fifty are
wintered AS to amateur work on a
large scale, the profits rarely equal the
losses, which are very often ruinous.

I'm Favor of Piece.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Jan. 49,
AT noon yesterday General Miles
sent message to the hostile camps
asking for conference or council
with the principal chiefs. There
was an immediate response. Among
the chiefs were Two Strikes. Short
Eagle Pipe. Grow Dog, Big Turkey,
Black Robe, Kicking Bear, Iron
Foot and Man-Raised-Above. The
chiefs were Brules, and when the
subject of returning to their agency
at Rosebud was broached they said
they were in favor of returning if a
military man should be placed over
them as agent.
Captain Lee, of the Ninth In
fantry, who was recommended by
General Miles as agent for the
agency in question, was present.
The Indians present expressed the
hope that he would be allowed to
take bold of the agency in question.
After little more parleying Big
Road stood up and solemly and
dramatically proclaimed himself in
favor of peace. At the same time
he asked those who wished to join
him in restoring peace and working
for the prosperity of their people
to raise their right hand towards
Heaven. Immediately every right
hand in the gathering was raised
on high, and with general shaking
of hands the conference came to a
close.
There are no lights in the hostile
camp tonight. Everything is quiet.
The Indians seem to he in favor of
redeeming their pledges they made
