In Warm weather It PAYS Better Than
the Production Of Butter.
A correspondent Of the Farmers Re
view says: prefer making cheese in
warm weather to butter malrinc. and
its pays much better. This is my way
Of managing. We milk six cows and
make a five-pound cheese from one
milking. The mornings milking makes
the largest and best cheese, using the
same quantity Of milk, we have hoop
six inches across, one foot high. then in
the orchard we have a cleat nailed 70 d
peach tree, three feet from the ground;
under this we place a lever ten feet
long. which win rest on the cheese
which is IN the hoop, on a board on the
top of a key; necessary weights are
placed on the end of lever. Although
this is a simple way made by woman
to press cheese, il answers every pur>
pose for which it is made.
Now as TO curd First we strain
about eight gallons Of milk into tin
can or boiler. I make it a little warmer
than fresh from the COW; then add the
rennet II use the prepared, finding it
better and cheaper), stir it well, let
stand until quite hard curd; then cut.
In a short time the whey viii separate,
but if it is slow, heat some of the
whey quite hot, pour over, stir
slowly, let stand; very soon
you can dip all off; then salt about as
much as you would SO much butter, stir
ring it well. Spread a new thin cloth
over the hoop and put the curd in; have
a round board to fit close in hoop: then
press lightly at first, but increase TO
about forty pounds on the end Of
lever; take cheese out and turn twice
in twenty-four hours, removing cloth
each time to prevent clinging to cheese
When done pressing take out cut
two round pieces of cloth, then PUG a
band around and sew the end pieces in.
This keeps off the flies and holds the
cheese in shape. Lay them on a shelf
where they can have sunshine and a
little shade outdoors warm enough to
start the butter in them; turn every
dav You viii find it will be fit for use
in about ten days.
l have written in a very simple way,
but find from experience, every few
days, with my neighbors that they need
to be told every little thing in order to
understand how to make cheese.
The curing Of them may differ from
many, but it is my way and they come
out smooth and very yellow, although
/ do not use coloring. Any sugges-
tions or improvements on the foregoing
plan are in order.

Work That Every Farmer Can Do at
Home on Rainy Days.
Anyone at all ingenious can make
brooms for home use. Set the stalk end
of brush enough for the number of
brooms to be made in water and leave
it for an hour or two When softened
gather enough for a broom, putting the
largest and best stalks on the outside.
From the ceiling of the room suspend a
strong cord. Wind this two or three
times about the brush, attach the other
end to n treadle hinged to the wall, and
with the foot increase the pressure, at
the same time rolling the brush round
several times to shape it. Wind the
ends with cord, beginning at the lower
or broom end. Place the pressure cord
close to the brush and wind the Irvine
below this, moving the former up as
needed. To make the broom fiat, press
it between two narrow boards fastened
together at one end with strong leath-
er hinge, or it may be placed between
two boards and screwed into a vice.

TO MAKE GOOD PORK.
Points Essential TO Produce Fair weight
in six Months.

Points Essential TO Produce Fair weight
in six Months.
Close study and observation during
some years past led me to believe that
it is quite posi- ole TO produce pork of
the best quality at one-third less than
the average cost, and one-half what it
costs under the poorest management
In producing cheap pork, we also great
ly reduce the risk Of loss from disease.
How can we reduce the cost of pork?
First, by reducing the time to produce
it. \ thrifty, growthy pig that viii
weigh two hundred pounds gross, and
which gives meat well marked with
lean is most desirable. This weight
can be obtained at six months, and
where butter dairy is run in connec-
ton with pig growing, a considerable
greater weight is possible The points
essential to produce this weight at six
months are:

SUMMER FEEDING.
Plans Which should BE Adopted by All
Progressive Dairymen.

Plans Which Should BE Adopted by All
Progressive Dairymen.
The elaboration Of a perfect supply
of milk Is a severe task on the energy
Of a cow and if you compel her 10 roam
and tramp for miles over hot and
parched fields 10 find enough food to
enable her 10 exist, don't wonder then
at her shrinking in milk, or the still
greater shrinkage in her butter yield.
Such treatment aside from all questions
of profit ana loss is inhuman in the ex-
treme. Taken by itself, the returns
from a bountiful supply of fodder are
surprising, but If by any force Of reason
you could be induced to feed about two
pounds of bran daily in addition, the
surprise win be still greater. You
would then have a well balanced ration
and one that would be productive of
great results. The cost of such a ra-
ton would not be over &c per day per
COW, for the fodder counting every
thing, the bran would cost about &c,
making total cost not to exceed &c
per COW, each day. Think over this
matter and study it carefully as your
success with cows depends solely on
your skill in feeding. Remember at all
times that the extra feed you give your
milking cows is like sowing seed on
fertile ground, it shall be returned TO
you an hundred fold. We have from
Prof. w. A. Henry, of Wisconsin, the
following:
II believe no single acre OF land on the farm
will pay as large profit as that planted to IN
early variety OF corn for tHc purpose OF Z eding
in August and early in September, when our
pastures are short and the milk lessening rapid
~ because Of the hot weather, annoyance from
flies and the lack Of abundant food. The wise
farmer viii have patch Of fodder corn"
Prof. James w. Robertson, of Guelph,
Ont, said in 1889:
Last summer one OF our leading Canadian
dairymen, feeding eighteen cows upon fodder
corn 10 supplement scant pasture, furnished
milk TO cheese factory. In the course OF time
he provided a supply OF bran and by the end OF
the first week thereafter he found, by an ex-
animation OF the factory books, that he was
credited with enough extra milk to pay for the
bran consumed (2A pounds per COW per day.
and leave balance Of $3.50 OF extra profit for
that week"
Practical and successful dairymen are
everywhere following these plans with
most excellent results. We ask that
you give it your careful attention, con-
fident that, if we can persuade You to
make a trial, the benefits will be
so satisfactory that hereafter it will be
a regular crop with you.-Colman's

Three or four inches be wv the winding
cord, wind a cord once or twice, draw
it close and tie firmly leaving enough of
one end to sew with. Sew through and
through with large needle six or eight
inches long, letting the cord pass over
the portion tied on at each stitch.
Sharpen the end of the handle and drive
the sharpened end exactly in the CEN
ter of the broom neck and fasten it with
two small tacks upon opposite sides.
Clip the lower end to make. it even.

rainy days instead of sitting about the

FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
"wAIT A BIT"

There was once a youth Of promise,
In a countr- DER the sea.
Where the hills are crowned with heather
And where daisies deck the lea;
He was tall and strong and handsome.
For chief might have been fit.
But that when he most was needed
He would always rat bh
With mind Of wondrous vigor
Was this mountain son endowed.
He might wei have won a name that
Would have made nation proud;
He might well have left his fellows
On the lower rounds 70 sit.
While be climbed fame's towering ladder,
But for that fral rat bit.
He was active on the water,
He was agile on the field,
There was none could row like Ronald,
Or better bat could WELD;
Tie might cen have been hero.
With that frame so strongly knit,
If he had not weakly chosen
For his motto: Wait bit F"
He put the hardest lessons
To be learned some other day,
So he saw the plodding student
Bear the laurel wreath away;
And he faltered when the signal
Sounded at the starting place,
So he saw his weaker rival
Far outstrip him IN the race.
II is not the youth OF maiden
Who can boast the highest powers
That alone may climb to greatness
In this busy world Of ours.
1t is not always the fieetest
Who is soonest at the goal;
Nor the arm that Is the stoutest
That legion may control.
But the feet whose trend Is upward,
That no barrier can stop.
Though their march be slow and heavy,
May he first to reach the top.
IT'S the dauntless and the ready
That TO lead the van are fit
Who, when duty calls for action,
Never never cGit a BIT

The attorney general OF Pennsylvania
has filed bill to break up the great combi-
nation that was made by the Reading COM
pany with the Lehigh Valley and New Jer-
sey Central railroads few weeks ago. The
combination has been sanctioned by the leg
islaturs Of New Jersey. and that may help
it in its fight in the Pennsylvania courts.
There is not much doubt that the oombina-
ton will find some way out Of the legal
difficulties which threaten IL. It has hum
dreds Of millions Of dollars at stake, and
the breaking Of the combination would be
serious matter for the Reading company.
The other companies are well able 70 take
care of themselves They are in excellent
financial condition.
The policy Of railroads is toward CONSOLE
dalton. II is the only policy that promises
a profit from railroad property. About
all railroads are capitalized for an
amount much above their actual cost.
Composition and hostile legislation make it
extremely difficult for them 10 meet their
financial obligations and make such i'm
provements as are absolutely necessary.
By consolidation they are able to make
very great reduction in operating expenses
and at the same time get rid Of competition
that is often ruinous. The cost Of getting
business is frequently much more than the
profit arising from handling It.
The railroads do not now fix their Cwr
rates. If they had the privilege of doing
so they would be less active perhaps In
making combinations Railroad commits
sions say what the rates shall be, and it is
not a matter of much consequence to the
people, therefore whether competition is
prevented by consolidation or not.
The belief that the Reading combination
would be followed by rise in the price of
coal has caused some uneasiness throughout
the territory tributary to the consolidated
roads, but it is probable that there need be
no fear of anything of that kind The
railroad commissioners will prevent an in
crease in the rates for transporting coal.
Railroad consolidation is certain to go on
until all the railroads in the country are in
cluded in a few great systems aud the inter
ests Of the people will not suffer as long as
honest men can be obtained for railroad
commissioners.
