The Good Little Bacteria of Cheese

In a report by the board of agriculture on
the distribution of grants for agricultural
education in Great Britain is a chapter of
special research in cheddar cheesemaking
The author, Mr.. +. J. Lloyd, says: at APP
pears more and more probable that all
taints and peculiarities which are injurious
to cheese, as also all the changes which
combine to produce a good or first rate
cheese, are due to bacteria"
After reading this consumers of cheese
will long to be told how they may distin-
guish the benevolent from the malevolent
microbe, and how the one may be cult
| waited at the expense of the other. Mr..
! Lloyd does his best to satisfy their curiosi-
ty, and it is comforting to learn that of the
many organisms which have been found
''only one can be said to be invariably pres
ent" This is the benevolent Acid lactici,
which is essential to the production of a
| good cheese and there is ground at pres
ent for the assumption that no other varie-
/ ty is necessary"
| But how to keep the others out is the
/ question. Mr.. Lloyd says they do not come
! in at the open door or window of the dairy,
| but hide in crannies, where a little decom-
| posing milk or other animal or vegetable
matter may supply allthe food which these
organisms need to enable them to grow and
multiply" The moral of this for cheese
makers obviously is, Be scrupulously clean.

Queer Name For Diseased Cow.

The true answer to the conundrum
"When is n COW not a cow" has been
discovered and is as follows, "When it ia

piled in the Central meat market to the
carcass of an animal that has been killed
to save its life" In other words, a croker
is beast which has been afflicted with
some of the many diseases to which cattle
are liable and whose flesh for that reason
fetches much smaller piice than does
good, wholesome beef
Mr., Green, farmer of Hanworth. I'm

Smithfield salesman, On his premises il

man food, and the too enterprisng farmer
was fined, rs he richly deserved to be. in

were no statesmen willing to accent such
garbage, meat eaters would be in far less

Attention is called to the fact that for
some time past the superintendent of mo-
tive power of the southwestern system of
Pennsylvania lines has been successfully in
Producing oil furnaces in the various black
smith shops along the loute. A special
feature of this furnace is the absence of any
stack or other means for carrying off the
product of combustion.
1t has been found by experiment that on
a stack being placed on such furnaces the
temperature cannot be maintained at as
high point as desired, but without stack
the flames and products of combustion
have Il tendency to creep out wherever
there is an opening. On this account the
doors in the front of the furnace are most
carefully fitted, an additional precaution
being to protect the buckstatfs in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of the doors by extending
out rib of friedrich from the front wall
These furnaces when first installed, and at
the then low price of oil, gave an economy
of about 80 per cent over that of coal fur
naces and an increased output of % pei
cent-the economy not being wholly due
however, to the difference in the cost of fuel
but also to the reduction of labor, there be
ing no shoveling of coal and ashes.-New

Professor Donders of Utrecht has made
some interesting experiments in regard to
the rapidity of thought. BY means of two
instruments, which he calls the ''neomata-
Telegraph" and the Observation-Disclosures, he
obtained some important results. His eX-
periments show that it takes the brain .O67
of second to elaborate single idea. Writ
ing in regard to this, Professor Donders
says: Doubtless the time required for the
brain to act is not the same in all individu-
ais l believe, however that my instru-
ments may be perfected until we will be
able to determine the mental caliber of our
friends without our friends knowing that
we are testing their aptness." The profess
SCR further says: For the eye to receive an
impression requires .077 of IA second and for
the ear to appreciate sound ,049 of sec
oud is necessary. These curious expert
ments have established one fact at least
viz, that the eye acts with nearly double
the rapidity of the ear "-Philadelphia

Triumph.


Not he who rides through conquered citys
gate,
At the head of blazoned hosts and to the
sound
OF victors trumpets, in full pomp and state
OF war, the utmost pitch has dreamed or
found
To which the thrill of triumph can be wound;
Nor he who by a nations vast acclaim
Is sudden sought and singled out alone,
And while the people madly shout his name,
Without a conscious purpose of his own,
Is swung and lifted to the nations throne.
But he who has all single handed stood
With foes Invisible on every side,
And, unsupported of the multitude,
The force of fate itself has dared, defied
And conquered silently.
And that soul knows
In what white heat the blood of triumph flows.

Better it were for the world, l say,
Better indeed for a mans own good,
That he should sit still where he was born,
BE it land of sand or of oil and corn,
White sea border or great black wood,
Bleak white winter or bland sweet May,
Than to wander the world, as have done,
For the one dear woman that is under the
sun.
Better abide, though the skies be dun,
And the rivers espoused of the ice and snow;
Better abide, though the thistles grow.
And the city of smoke be obscured of the sun,
Than to seek red peoples and the sweet
dreamland-
Than to wander the world, as / today,
Breaking the heart into bits like clay,
And leaving it scattered upon every hand.
