station says:
Skimmilk cheese is an adulterated
food.
Tho motive which lies at the basis of
the manufacture Of skimmilk cheese is
wrong.
Tho real value e skimmilll cheese is
below that of full milk cheese.
1t is known that skimmilk cheese is
much less digcstiblc than full milk
cheese at the same stage of ripeness.
The manufacture and sale of skim
milk cheese tend to dcmoralize dealers.
The manufacture and sale of skim
milk ch csc tend To irjure the growth
and prosperity Of the cheese industry.
Skimmilk cheese is more readily
pe1isl able article than full milk cheese,
and therefore loss is often experienced.
1t is proposed rs a standard that
cheese which contains l.2J or more
pounds Of fat for one pound of cascin be
legally known as full cream, F." or full
milk, or "whole milk, " or normal
milk" cheese, and that all cheese which
contains less than l.25 pounds of fat
for one pound Of caseiu be legally known
rs "shinmilli' cheese, and that all fac
tory cheese made III New York state be
marked with one Of these two brands.
The merits claimed for the proposed
standard and the reasons why it should
be adopted arc enumerated as follows:
Its simplicity.
The distinction made between the two
classes is sh"rp
The distinction made by the proposed
standard is based upon well established
facts.
The distinction made by this standard
is n practical one.
Tho standard does not permit the re-
moyal OF fat from milk TO an extent that
pays for the time, trouble and risk.
The standard proposed recognizes the
fact that the quality and therefore the
value of cheese is largely governed by
the relation Of fat and casein in cheese.
Whether this standard be adopted or
not, it is certainly desirable that some
change be- made i'll the laws of New
York state so that honest manufacturers.
buyers and consumers Of cheese may be
protected, rs they arc not at present. II
this were done, the consumption of
cheese might be increased tenfold.

The recent act Of the German

The recent act Of the German
government in prohibiting American
cattle and fresh beef from that coun-
try is serious matter. A matter
that is of interest 10 every farmer.
While Texas fever is the alleged
cause it is generally understood that
the repeal of reciprocity that result
ed from the Wilson bill is the real
cause. BY the new tariff bill we
put a tax on German sugar.
Germany in turn prohibits our beef
and cattle from that country.
The government promises to give
this matter attention at the assem-
lAing of congress. A little fore
sight would have prevented such an
unpleasant state of affairs. If
Blaine could establish trade rela-
lions with that great country, the
democratic administration ought
certainly to have had brains enough
to say, hands off. Our trade rela'
lions, in other words, with Germany
were of much advantage and we
should know enough to keep a good
thing when we have it.

November IL a special train will

congress has appropriated $4,000,
and its object Is To determine
whether a certain harbOr III south
ern part of California needs deepen
ing or not. To ascertain a fact
which could be determined, and Will
finally depend upon sounding ana
upon the importance of the harbor,
which can as we'll be ascertained at
Washington from data on file as up
on the ground, Congress has voted
an appropriation of $4,000. The
sum itself is not large when compar
ed with the revenues of the govern
ment. If applied on the monthly
deficits, which are assuming grayer
proportions month by month, ii
would not be more than a drop IN
the bucket; but even a bucket can
be emptied drop by drop, aud 1t is
not unfair to suppose this Is only
one Of the many drops which con
tribute TO the monthly deficits.
When the Democrat party was
given a new lease OF power In 1892,
it was on the expressed and oftre.
peated promise Of economy. This
NAV be- an act of economy, but TO
the average reader it will appear as
an unnecessary expenditure Of
money. 1t will appear as a piece OF
petty extravaganza, unwarranted and
wholly disproportionate TO the ob.
ject to be attained. 1t will appear
as a parody on economy, too insight
ficant, perhaps, to gaiu public notice
but a parody nevertheless. 1t will
appear as drop wasted when there
are no drops to spare, no, not one.
