SWISS CHEESE.


Details OF the Manufacture of the Tooth
some Dellcacy.
The American public are not great
cheese eaters at the present time, but
it is habit which might be cult
waited that more cheese and less meat
might be consumed to advantage by
those who perform hard labor at
least. In practical address by a
Wisconsin cheese-maker is given the
method Of producing what is termed
Swiss cheese. He says: 1t is a sweet
curd cheese, made from milk as di-
rectIy from the COW as possible. 1t
is usually carried twice a day from
the milking places direct to the fac.
tory, and Immediately made into
cheese. 1t is thickened at a temper
allure Of about 80 degrees, with
enough rennet to complete the thick
ening in twenty to thirty minutes
When thick it is cut into large pieces
with a wooden knife; afterwards
stirred and torn into smaller parti-
Giles by an instrument termed a
breaker. Formerly merely wooden
stick with cross-pieces inserted or in
the primitive times a small bush
with the stubs Of branches left on
were the breakers. The operation is
performed in large copper kettle,
hung on swinging crane to enable
it to be swung off or on the fire,
When broken into pieces about the
size of kernels of corn, the kettle is
swung onto the fire, and the mass is
gradually heated while being stirred
to l20 degrees, then the kettle is
swung away from the fire, and the
stirring continues with a circular
motion until the heat is reduced to
100 to 10 degrees. The curd is then
allowed to settle, which it does in
ten or fifteen minutes in a circular
cake, which is then scooped out en-
tire by means of strong cheese
cloth, which is passed under the
cheese in the whey, then placed upon
the press table to drain for few
minutes. A flexible, open wooden
hoop is then arranged to the proper
size and the cheese placed therein by
means of the cloth, then turned sew
eral times to facilitate the escape of
the whey, which readily flows off,
then it is placed under continuous
press, which, even in the best ar
ranged factories is a large square
beam of heavy wood, one end fast
ened to the side of the room, and the
other attached to a lever, by which
it can be easily raised or lowered.

FAR AWAY JAVA.
Low Wager on the Tea, Coffee and Suga
Plantations.

Low WageI on the Tea, Coffee and Sugar
Plantations.
Mr.. w. C. Knoofe, a coffee and
sugar grower of Java, was recently in
Boston, accompanied by several
friends. He has lived in Java ten
years and has large and Furnishing
plantations. He tells an interesting
story about this queer country, for
so many years under the control of
the Dutch.
~You never saw such happy people
anywhere as these little Javanese.
They are always talking, laughing
and dancing, and seem never to have
any sort of care. They work in the
tea, coffee and sugar plantations for
s or 8 cents day. and the best Of
them never get over 10 or IL cents.
Yet they are entirely Contented. The
women, who are the best for tea pick
ing, do not get more than or 5 cents
a day. The tea is cut every forty
days, so there is always work to do.
There is big yield this year and it
is good tea, but 1T isn't worth much.
We got word from Amsterdam, where
much Of our tea goes, that it was
worth only from to 10 cents a
pound,
with coffee and sugar the price is
different. There never was as much
money in sugar as at the present
time. 1t is worth from So. 20 to SO. 60
for each picul or 1874 pounds. The
growers are getting rich Both the
coffee and sugar crops are very large,
and, like the tea, they are very fine.
Coffee has vcered around so much
that there is no longer much money
in it, All that isgrown must be sold
to the government. That is re-
Quirement, 1t is cheap. In Holland
it is worth but So for each 1874 pounds
"All the labor used is Japanese 1t
would not pay us to employ any
other"

HOW TO IMPROVE BUSINESS.
A Practical Talk to Advert'sjis by Chas
Austin Bates.

A Practical Talk to Advertisers by Chas.
Austin Bates.
Some merchants cutdown their ad-
vertising in the summer
In everyday life, when a thing is
hard to do, it only calls forth greater
effort. If the laborer can't move the
stone, he gets a Crowbar and a block
of wood. He makes lever-and the
stone moves. II the crowbar is not
long enough, he gets something long
er. He doesn't give up, because the
stone has to be moved
Same way in business. Trade is a
stone. The funny thing is that the
lighter it gets, the harder it is to
move. 1t can be moved, though.
You may have to lengthen the lever.
Certainly you ought not to shorten
it. The best business lever is adver-
tising-newspaper advertising Is the
longest lever and the quickest to
move trade.
Dull times are the times to put
forth the greatest effort and the most
money, People don't usually ask for
what they have already. Advertising
is merely asking for trade When the
store is full every day, cut down your
space. Don't expect that you will get
q big trade in dull times, but keep
count, and you'll find that the adver-
Using was profitable Profitable right
at the time and enormously profitable
after while. The very fact that
only few merchants are wise enough
to advertise in dull seasons makes it
all the more profitable for those who
do You are there when others are
not 1t gives yougreater prominence.
1t will make your advertising in busy
times much more effective.
Common sense has a great deal to
do with advertising. Think about it
from a common sense standpoint. 1t
may take some nerve" to pay out
money for newspaper space when the
business isn't paying expenses, but it
will pay.
More than half the business houses
in the country would be ahead if they
could shut up for three months in
the summer. But they don't do it.
Why? Simply because they can not
afford to, People would forget them.
Same way with advertising. Think
of it.

A most curious utensil of Bahia

In this the family bread is baked.
BaLamans are physiologically starved,

To go into all the details would take
too much time. / would only add
that the curd is never sailed, as you
would cheddar curd, before pressing.
After the cheese is fully pressed,
which takes ten to twelve hours, it
is carried to the curing rooms on a
round wooden lid on which it remains
on the shelves, The salt is applied
evenly on the surface with the hands
or a brush, the moisture still in the
cheese, together with that in the
curing room, which should be a mod
erately moist cellar, dlssolves the
salt, and it is absorbed into the
cheese. Each day the cheese is
turned and the alternate side sailed,
until sufficient, which practice will
best determine. Itshoud remain in
the curing room at last three
months; six months is not too long
to ripen properly.

BIBLICAL Origin OF Slang.

How many of the readers Of the
department Of the Republic know
that the original 'kicker" In the
metaphorical sense is mentioned in
the Old Testament and that an ex-
preston used by Jesus himself is re-
sponsible for our slang phrase,
"What's it to you?" In the first
book of Samuel, second chapter and
twentY-ninth verse, "a man Of God"
says to Eli Wherefore kick ye at
my sacrifice and at mine ofIerlng?"
The prototype Of the second phrase
alluded to above is found in the an
swer which Jesus gave Peter, as re-
corded In the last chapter of St John,
twenty-second verse: IF l will that
he larry till come, what is that to
thee?"-St Louis Republic.

MARTIN County Sentinel: A
lot of fellows, who can think of
nothing else to write about, have
begun an agitation in favor of
primary elections, to be regulated
and controlled by law and to sup
plant our present caucus and con-
vention system Of selecting candi
dates for office. We have given
the question but very little thought
but our first impressions are
against the change for the reason
that it would inflct upon the peo-
pie, in it's practical operations, two
elections where we now have one.
It is admitted by everybody that
we already have too much politics
and to double the dose would have
a demoralizing effect upon the
business and social life of the peo-
pie. The Australian ballotlaw seems
to have remedied the principal
evils Of our election system by Civ
ing every man chance to cast a
free and untrammelled vote. The

LEE CRANDALL, formerly a Wash
ington correspondent, writes from
Alabama that Kolb, the Populist
candidate, was fairly elected gov.
ernor Of that State, but was
counted out by the Democrats.
.Crandall particularizes as follows:
There are sixty-six counties in Ala
bama, and sixteen of them are known
as the black belt because there are
$4,000 voters in it and nearly $4,000 of
them are negroes. Kolb carried
nearly every white county, because in
the white counties there are honest
elections. AS we had learned their
tricks in the previous election we plan
ned to keep them from cheating in the
black counties. We urged the negroes
in those counties not to register.
AS a result only 5000 voters registered.
Then we thought we had them, be-
cause we thought they would not dare
to roll up the count if the registration
books gave them the lie. But it is
hard to beat an Alabama Democrat
In the sixteen black counties the Dem
ocrats had absolute charge of the cleo
ton machinery and they rolled up
$4,000 negro majority for Oates in, the
black belt. In Wilcox county the
registration was less than 800, yet
Wilcox gave Oates 5000 majority. In
one precinct, where we have the aft
davits of five white men that the poll
ing place was not even open, they give
81 votes for Oates and one for Kolb.
How generous they were. In Dallas
county we managed to get the registra'
tion list after election and found that
1900 voters we're registered; yet Dallas
gave Oates 5000 majority. 81.

see that the illicit distilleries, no mat
