one hundred gallons of milk, which
should bring the curd in one hour

degrees. Stir the rennet and milk
thoroughly. Many of the unknown
troubles of the amateur cheese maker
arise from the use of ill-conditioned

Extrararance In slIpp-r.

A fashionable shoemaker of Paris
mentioned the other day what amount
might be spent upon pair of slippers
He said several ladies of the aristocra-
cy were rather extravagant in the mat
ter OF their footwear, and gave two
striking examples. Not long ago a
countess whose name is on everybody's
lips had pair of ball slippers made,
which were covered with embroidery
in gold and set with rubies, emeralds
and diamonds The slippers were
charming, but they cost ssa, 900. An
other lady, widowed countess, who
lives in London, and was invited to a
bal nasque at the duke of Manches-
ter's, appeared there az Cinderella in a
somber and unassuming garb, but her
slippers were covered entirely with
diamonds worth abopt $4,000. The
bill for the setting ana the make of the
slippers amounted alone to $3.50.

Allowing fruit to lie under the trees
and rot is not only a loss but is detri-
mental to the health aud thrift of the
trees by increasing the germs OF dis
ease as well as affording better OBJ
portunity for the propagation Of in
sects that injure both trees and fruit
A good plan with the fallen fruit Is
TO go over the orchard and pick up the
best, or what can be utilized, and then
turn in the hogs or sheep and let them
eat up all that is left Then they can
be turned out again until another sup
ply drops.
In sending to market the better plan
is to grade the fruit carefully and then
sell each grade separately. II you at

Good roads, good country roads, are

The day and age. The advent of the
bicycle has created demand for good
roads among a class which before its
advent had little care for country
roads. The probable early advent OF
horseless carriages will tend to empha-
size that demand and will add to the
fast growing good-roads army To the
farmer good roads ever have been a
necessity. which, alas, he has had in
too many instances to get along with

ment of the federal government made
an investigation into the road question
The object of that investigation was to
secure some reliable information con-

is responsible for such a general stir

set them tothinking on this very topic.

stitute radical reform They turned
out in full force with picks, shovels
and rollers. and repaired the worst of
the road. When the bloomered beauties
finished their weeks work they pointed
with pride to several miles of road
which they had made fit for wheeling.
In Cincinnati recently one hundred
women armed with brooms. hoes,
wheelbarrows and shovels began early
one morning to clean the streets.
From early in the morning until sun
set the women toiled and one of the
