 The text is. taken from the words of man be his 0 wn necromancer." It was custom of the ancient times for a man when he wanted to know about future events, to consult some person who was supposed to hold converse with departed spirits. This person, called necrC- to look into the future. The dead told him, so he claimed, of the perils coming to the living. And, as in the supersti- tious period of the world s history, peo- pie believed him, the wizard made pret- ty penny out of the desires of others to know the future. This desire

But why should not every man be his own necromancer. The trade is easily learned. Take some of the, wise words of the world as your motto, and you can easily get the lesson by heart. For in-. stance, there is certain wise book that says, "Whatsoever man soweth, that shall he also reap.1 Now you are ask ing the wizard of fortune to tell you how to be happy.

Another thing where we ought to exercise the

The pine apple cheese factory of Dea Edward Norton of Goshen is fascinat- ing place to visit, to one who is not fla miliar with the details of cheese making, and indeed to those who are.

THIS FAMOUS BRAND

of pineapple cheese have a history which dates back to 1S10, when Dea Edward Norton's father, Lewis M. Norton, was engaged in making them. He first em- parked in the cheese business by using the milk from his own dairy of 30 COWS. The making of the famous pineapple cheese has always been kept in the Nor ton family. So far as is known there is only one other pine apple cheese factory in this country, that of R.

He says he is just as active and well as he was at 20, and says he never gets tired.

The milk is first heated in the large vat to temperature of s5 degrees, when the coloring and rennet is put in. The rennet produces coagulation, changing the milk from the fluid to a thickened curd- like state, The curd is then cat up by knives and broken by rakes.

 THE BEES REPRESENTATIVE was present, there was somewhere in the of 12, ,O00 or 15,000 cheeses. At the present time about 5000 quarts of milk is received at the creamery daily. This is the lightest time of the year for milk, as at times they receive as high as 1900 quarts daily. Last year they manu- factured something like LOGO pounds of cheese. The cheese is turned out in two, four and six pound moulds. Among the present patrons of the creamery are the following farmers:
