Chee,e is the most nutritious of all
foods: ne pound is worth more than

Disguised with it if no other meat were

pals on the appetite. The French have
more than 100 kinds made to suit vari-
Gus tastes. and in small sizes for con-
yenience of consumers: consequently
the French use more cheese-than meat.
Americans will never become cheese
eaters until similar diversity is offered.
a great mistake prevails in regard to
ripening of cheese, by which it acquires
"a peculiar flavor that pleases the ma
iority of consumers, although many
persons do not like it, owing to an I'M
grounded fear of it's Embellishments.
This ripcning process makes cheese more
digestible and nutritious. The curing

in the cheese. A well-cured skim milk
cheese contains more digestible nutri-
ment than a fresh whole-milk cheese.
There is nothing unwholesome about
it. The ferments by which cheese is
mellowed or ripened are useful. not in

pear in preference to one mellowed by
ripeness? And this ripeness is due to
ferments. able to change the hard, indi-

THE DAIRY.

1t Is more profitable to spend time
to get ensilage into COWS mouth. 50
She can give milk, than it is to partly
waste it by trying to strip milk from
the ndder Of poorly fed COW.
The trouble or one trouble with
scrub stock, is that we do not know
what we are going to get, when we
breed it. A scrub COW may be an elc-
CANT milker-many of them arc-but
she may never have calf that will be
good for any thing in the direction Of
the dairy.-Western Rural.
For the best one sign OF good cow,
we regard that of being so built that
when in milk portion of her uddcr can
be seen behind her legs. as side view
Is taken. The more there is to be seen
the better; and if at the same time the
udder comes forward so as to cover
goodly portion of the belly. she then can
be. and quite likely will be, a copious
mixer. But before a very big price is
paid for her. the quality of her milk
should be tested. and if the buyer is
particular she should be of the breed he
is most interested in.-IIoards Dairy
man.
Death in the silo was a calamity
unknown until the other day. when a
Michigan farmer was killed under pecu-
liar circumstances. The silo. nine feet
below ground and fourteen feet above,
was divided into three compartments.
only one of which was filed. As the
work proceeded it was found that the
partition was bullying, and the farmer
went to the bottom Of the next compart-
ment to brace up the partition, and was
at once suffocated by carbonic acid gas.
Many instances have been given of suffi-
cicnt gas accommodating at the bottom Of
silos to extinguisi light. and it will be
well in future to use this test, unless
the pits are ventilated.
No dairyman does every thing just
right, for no man is perfect. but the one
who studies his business and comes the
nearest to doing things right is the one
who makes the most money. We all
have room for improvement, and every
year should see some change for the
better in our dairying. We ought to
use the best dairy appliances that we
can get: a good portable creamery. a
churn with no dash in it, good butter
printer 1--WE can work the butter in a
barrel or box churn). glass milk bottles
if we sell rich milk to private custom
ers. We should make granular butter,
try brine sailing. use dairy thermom-
eter, find out the best temperature for
churning, read all we can about our
business, and when we find any thing
new and useful in our own experience,
write it out for the benefit of others

They May be Made Profitable Under Pro.
gressive Methods.
The winter care of the milking dairy
is an artificial creation. as compared
with the usual summer keep. There
must be a warm stable-not allowed to
approach the freezing temperature. 1t
must be kept at least twenty degrees
above. Light in this stable should be
abundant. and sunshine fall as much as
possible within its walls. There should
be an abundant supply of water at COM
mand In the barn, so that the cows can
be watcred there without much labor.
This is cheaply provided for with a
thirty-barrcl galvanized iron tank, with
close cover, standing in the stable near
the cows, supplied from a well or spring.
Then the water is supplied to the cows
at uniform temperature of fifty de-
grees without heaters or pipes. The
winter food most conducive to album
dant milk flow lis cheaply provided for
by the use of the silo and bran. with
luncheon of clover hay. Six tons of
silage for each cow will abundantly
feed her from November to May 90;
mill feed at twelve dollars per ton will
supply the food for milch COW at ten
cents per day. have done even better
than this. Hay to exceed three pounds
per day to each cow is not needed in the
winter dairy.
The winter dairy, rightly managed. is
profitable because the prices for dairy
produce are much better from Scptem-
Der to June than from April to Novem-
Der Is, which is about the limit of milk
giving for the summer dairy. The
milking period of the October calving
cow is fully sixty days longer than that
of the spring mixer. There is little
difficulty in keeping the October mixers
in profitable mil!l-giving nine months,
often more. and the men with silos and
winter dairies show the figures that
their cows give fully one-fourth more
milk in the same number of days than
will the same dairy MIXED in summer,
and the balance of the milk obtained in
the longer milking period is clear gain.
The dairy that gives forty-five dollars
worth of milk in summer gives sixty
five dollars winter MIXED.
The question of cheap winter feeding
is being rapidly settled with many.
Others are now fully of the opinion that
the winter mixer can be kept as
cheaply with shorts and silage as the
dry cow can be on hay and the ordinary
plan of keep. One of the most success

of other farmers testify to. and with as
good success. The advantages of winter

Ore Through the Tunnel.

1t was currently reported on the
street Wednesday that the Savage
Company had made contract with
the Tunnel Company looking to the
movement of ore through the tun-
mel. According to the report, there
is body of ore on the tunnel level
that can be handled in that way
much cheaper than by hosting,
and that it will in all probability
be taken to the Rock Point mill for
reduction. -Enlerprise
This is a proposition that has
been preached about once year for
years past. There is no doubt but
ore could be handled great deal
cheaper by taking it through the
Tunnel than hosting it to the sur
face in Virginia City and transfer
ring it to the river mills by rail-
The Douglass road runs by Sutro
and switch could be built from it
to the tunnel mouth at a very little
expense, and from there ore could
be hauled to the Rock Point mill at
very little expense. 1t is to be
hoped that some such arrangement
will be made as it would increase
business considerably in this town
and Sutro.

Our usually quiet town was

loaded with about four tons of gold
ore which had been extracted from
Dame Fortunes jealous grip at
General Buckner's mine in Winnie
mucea mountain. The ore is for
shipment and assayed, as we are in
formed, 81, 600 per ton. The pre-
dictions of cold timers" as to this
mountain seem to be verified, and
from present indications our burg
will soon be the leading mining
camp of the State. The ledge
whence this ore is taken is we'll de-
fined and there seems to be no pos
sibility of its pinching out. Pine
Nut is nowhere, aud the tidal wave
of prosperity has struck Winnie

that the Directors have entered into
a fraudulent contract with many

the Savage mine in an imperfect
and dishonest manner, and asks for
a permanent restraining order pro-

THE HOP CROP.
An Industry in which Nevada Might
Excel.

The Census Bureau has been col
lecting the statistics of hops, and
issued a bulletin on the subject,
from WHICH it appears that New
York, Washington, California, Ore
gon and Wisconsin, in the order
named, are the principal States
yielding that crop, they having pro-
j duced 994 per cent. of the entire
crop of the country last year. New
York produced 3O,063,O29 pounds,
Washington s,313,2S0 pounds, Cal
ifornia 6,547,338 pounds, Oregon
3,813,526 pounds, and Wiscon 1885,
SAT pounds. The Pacific Coast
States are increasing their yield,
while the other two States are de-
creasing in that particular. The
highest average yield last year was
in California, 1,648 pounds per acre.
Washington averaged 1885 pounds
per acre and Oregon 1855 pounds.
Hops grow luxuriantly in Nevada
and are very prolific. They require
a rich soil and considerable mois-
ture. The climate of this State
seems very favorable for their
growth, and there is no good reason
why they cannot be made profit
