The Model CheesemalSer.

Again | can see him as he works about
the factory With an air of genuine fem
mime cleanliness, sticking up the floors
and scru bling the tinware, Frightening
up the cheeses as he turns them from day
to day. Neither will the whey tank es-
cape his watchful eye. He well knows
the terrible results which must sooner
or later overtake cheesemaker who al
lows the filth to accumulate in an I'M
washed whey tank, whereby every crack,
crevice and seam of all the milk cans
OF his many patrons are invested with a
dangerous bacteria which though I'M
seen is nevertheless a great foe and is
the prime cause of bringing millions of
pounds of cheese on the rejected list.
In short, he is man that has an ever
lasting watchfulness over little things,
and the idea of rushing things at ire
mendous speed for the sake of going
a-fishing, seeing his best girl or lounging
in saloon never enters his busy brain.
You ask, Has the model cheesemaker
any interest in his product after it
leaves his hands? repeat. as | said
in the start: He is an honest. well in
formed, shrewd business man. He has
already investigated the laws of trade,
the laws of supply and demand and also
the laws, both national and state, re-
lating to milk, butter and cheese and
their wonderful and dangerous substi-
tutes-oleo and filled cheese. He is deem
ly interested in all these questions.-Ad-
dress at a Dairymen's Convention.

know hardworking dairyman who
works place on shares and from
dairy of 10 cows gets about 200 pounds
of milk per day. His half share in this,
taken to the cheese factory, brings him
something like 70 cents every "a hours.
Now, he hires man by the day, giving
him $1.25 and board for every 10 hours
work. So, including cost of board, he
does not receive half enough from his
share of the dairy to pay his hired help.
The question naturally arises, Where is
he to make the other half and also make
money for his own wages?
Well, he has hopyard of five acres,
as most dairymen have here in connection
with their farms. But how about the
income from this source? He cannot
hope for more than 1000 pounds of hops,
and as hops are now worth 90 cents per
pound his share would be something like
$780, From other sources besides his
dairy and hops, such as grain, potatoes,
ETC., he can get enough surplus to finish
paying the hired man. That will leave
him with the $500 as his own wages for
OhO year anu llOlu ILLS no
his family and himself
Not very cheerful outlook, is it? His
hired man will make more clear money
than he will, and will not have to work
as hard. If hops are higher than 20
cents a pound next fall, he will obtain
correspondingly larger income but they
are likely to be even lower than the fig
ures named. In any event, there is the
prospect Of whole year chock full Of
hard days work with barely common pay.
But it does not fall to the lot of any
agriculturist to have easy days work,
and they are not looking for that. Some
of them, however, worry over the mat
ter. if they do not obtain good rate Of

Drawn they expend in tilling the soil.

little) is apt to derive the biggest income
from his muscular work
In the case that have cited there has
been too much apathy and too little
worry in the past The present tenant
is not altogether to blame for this, but
the owner is rather to blame for having
dairy of 10 cows on the place that
yield only 200 pounds of milk per day in
nearly the flush of feed.
These 10 COWS should be giving more
nearly 400 pounds per day than 200, and
they would if they were of the right
stamp. hear some reader exclaim:

requires that all cheese branded "stand-

handled and tested those standards find
that they average not over 25 per cent

"HoLD THE FORT. FOR AM coMING.'

Sherman held Atlanta, and Hood
lay with his army a few miles south
of the Chattahooche, in the latter part
of September, 1864 Hood, however,
slipped across tbs Chattahooche some
AllatoOna and attacked the fort.
Allatoona was at that moment an
extremely important place. Stored
there were 100000 rations, while
lust across the EtOwah river were s.
600 head of beef cattle. Had these
provisions fallen into the hands of the
Confederates it not only would have
helped them immensely, but it would
very probably have made Sherman's
march to the sea impossible at the
time. Sherman, therefore, was very
anxious about it.
At that time Col. Samuel Batchtell,
then a captain in the regular army,
was chief signal officer of the Army
of the Cumberland, and had charge of
the signal service of Atlanta. When
news came that Hood was tearing up
the railroad at Kennesaw and was at
lacking Allatoona, Sherman sent for
Batchtell, and asked him what lines
Of signal he had. The Captain an
swered that he had telegraph and
signal lines from Atlanta to Rome.
He telegraphed from Atlanta to Mar
ietta, signaled from Marietta to the
top of Kenesaw mountain, and from
there right over the heads of the reb-
els at Allatoona. The distance from
Atlanta to Marietta, which was COW
cred by telegraph, was twenty-three
miles; that from Marietta to the top
of KeneSaw mountain three miles.
From Kenesaw to AllatOona the dis
tance was fifteen miles. From ALA
toona to Rome there was an uninter-
rupted telegraph line, and on receipt
of the order from Sherman, General
Corse moved forward to the relief of
the fort, and arrived. in time to beat
the rebels back.
General Sherman Immediately ad-
vanced toward Kenesaw, and looking
down from the mountain, which was
reached on the morning of October 5,
saw the fight going on down in the
plain fifteen miles away. COmmuni
cation by signals was established with
