many persist in buying in hard and
yellow, which means that there is lit
tie or no cream left in the milk while
making, and it is full of poisonous

color of cheese is that of its cream,
and if it has proper proportion OF
this in it, it will tie soft and probably
slightly molly, aud will melt in the
mouth, and not require lot OF masti-
cation.
Some people like cheese toasted with
pieces of bread, sandwich fashion, III
which case the breal is cut into COOL
forms, sufficient for each person, the
slice Of cheese being seasoned, placed
between two, and then put into the
oven for few moments until cooked

A very useful little recipe is the fol-
lowing, which lends itself to various
forms: Boil two eggs very hard, grate
four ounces Of bread, also three ounces
of good cheese, add three ounces OF
batter, and then mash up thu eggs
with these altogether. Add little
salt and pepper, or mixed mustard.
Having ready some pieces OF toasted
bread spread this mixture on them,

China as q Great Power.

The greatest homogeneous nation
the world has ever known is now at
war, for no other nation known to
history could boast of the 400, 900, 900
Inhabitants that Chinese statisticians
allot to their country. Now that the
problem is worked out before our
eyes we see that three-fourths of this
population is worthless for the present
war. 1t is quite probable that oil the
forces used will be drawn from the
two OF three seacoast provinces. A
general draft from the whole country
would bring together men of more di-
alects than the building of Babel
brought ON us.
The striking disparity of about
eleven to one in population between
China and Japan is not the controlling
factor. Still, the northern sea coast
provinces of China are quite populous
enough to sustain war with Japan on
equal terms. The Imperial Govern
ment is rich enough to enlist swarm
OF European officers, arm its troops
with the best weapons and obtain sup
plies from foreign makers. During
the last five or Esix years the Chinese
have been going through one of their
periodical fits of egotism, economy
and dislike of the foreigner, and have
discharged us many Of their foreign
servants rs they could spare. All
that will now be changed, and a ready
welcome will be given to the adven-
turous spirits of all countries.

! ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Salt Flood Nelped Peach Trees

10,
The unusual floods of last year.
which resulted in great destruction of
wharves and other property contigu-
GUS to the water courses of Kent
County, have resulted in a yery i'm
portant question being forced upon
the attention of the Kent County
peach growers. During these foods
hundreds OF acres of farming lands
were flooded, and many peach orchards
stood with their roots covered with the
salt waters of the overfowing streams.
With scarce an exception, or at least
in very many cases, the trees which
were flooded by the unusual tides are
the only trees In the county which
this year have any fruit on them. A
gentleman said that portion OF his
orchard was under the tides, and that
to the very tree which stood under
water there Is f,uit. Any one, he
said, could mark tho exact semiclrcu-
lar outline of the water in his orchard
by the presence of fruit on the flooded
trees and the absence of fruit on tho
trees which the waters did not touch.
Similar results are reported, and these
circumstances force the question upon
peach growers, Do the trees need salt
An extensive peach grower proposes
to try the covering of as much of his
peach orchard as possible with the
grass and vegetation which accumu-
lates along the river shoresin immense
quantities during the late summer and
fall, and says that he is confident of
most satisfactory results. Baltimore

TRANSPLANTING.

Raising vegetables in boxes and
frames and afterwards transplantin9
them is every year becoming more
general, as we find better results can
be obtained in this way with many of
our plants. Success in transplanting
depends largely upon keeping the
plants moist and protecting them from
the rays of the hot sun, which may
diminish their vitality to such au cx-
tent that they may never recover.
For this reason a cloudy day is gen.
orally chosen for transplanting. But
it is often very inconvenient to wait
for such weather, besides a cloudy
morning is often the precursor of a
particularly sunny day. Under these
conditions it becomes necessary to
shade the plants by placing over each
one cover. proceeding involving no
little labor. In hot weather, too, it
is often desirable to repeat the work
for several successive days in order to
afford the plants chance to send out
new roots and get foothold in the
new soil.
A practical method of simplifying
the work has been evolved by Ameri-
can Gardening. The device is both
simple and inexpensive. Tho cheap
est kind of stout cotton cloth is bought
in strip, longer or shorter, accord
ing to ones needs. Strips Of pine m
inch and n half square are tackled to
either end of tho cloth. To either
end OF the pine crosspieces are hinged
sharpcned pieces.
