With ordinary milk the yield is about
rs pounds of cured cheese for each
pound of butter fat in the milk. The
per cent. of butter fat in different milks
very nearly determines their relative
values for cheese-malling. Prof. Van
Slyke, of New York, found by a series
OF careful experiments that with milk
ranging from "a per cent. to "A per
cent. the amount 10 each pound of but
ter fat was 2.72 pounds of green cheese
or 2.5 pounds cured five weeks. 1t was
found that ) per cent. milk made but
"a pounds of cured cheese for each
pound of butter fat, but the better quail
ity of the cheese from the richer milk
was thought to compensate for the
slight difference in quality. IL will be
seen that 100 pounds of per cent. milk
made ten pounds of cheese and 100
pounds OF ) per cent. milk made ~

BAD ROADS EXPENSIVE.

Interesting Statistics Furnished by tho
Department of Agriculture.
The department of agriculture has
completed an interesting investigation
relating to the use of the common roads
of the United States. Returns have
been received from about l 200 counties,
showing the average length of haul
from farms to markets or shipping
points to be IL miles; the average
weight of load for two horses, 2,002
pounds; and the average cost per ton
per mile, 25 cents, or So for the entire
haul. Estimating the farm products at
219,S24,227 tons in weight, and making
estimates on other articles carried over
the public roads, it is calculated that the
aggregate expense of this transporta-
ton in the United States is $946, Ala, 6G5
per annum. Reports have been asked
from the United States consuls abroad
of the expense of hauling where the
roads are good, so as to render possible
calculation which will show how
much of this large outlay is due to bad
roads. The estimate is ventured, how
ever, upon information in the office of
road inquiry, counting the loss of time
IN reaching markets, the enforced idle
ness and the wear and tear of live stock
and hauling machinery caused by poor
roads, that two-thirds of the cost might
be saved by an improvements of the
roads.-Crabtrec's Farmer.

THE FARMING WORLD.
GRAPES IN SUMMER.
Hints for Those Who Have But Few
Vines To Care For.


Vines To Care For.
Almost all the treatises en- the prac-
teal cultivation of the grape are in
tended for large vineyards, where the
grape Is cultivated for market purposes
alone. The amateur gardener who has
but "a few dozen grapevines to care for
can get very little profit from these
rules. For the benefit of the amateur
we may say that the best time for
pruning his grapes will be the spring
and summer months. He should have
a clear idea as to the number of
branches, and which ones he needs to
leave grow for fruiting the following
season; and, soon after growth has
commenced, the weaker shoots that he
does not need for fruiting the following
season should be taken out. All the
vital power of the plants will then go
into the branches that are left. They
will be strong and healthy and bear fine
grapes the following season. Another
point to be attended TO is that i'll the
limited room of the amateurs gar
den it is desirable to keep the fruiting
branches as low to the ground as pos
sible, and every effort should be made
to mako them strong. In the summer
pruning. or, rather, 'pinching out" of
these branches it will be found that the
upper shoots are the strongest and the
lower ones the weaker. If it is desira-
BILE to have the branches low toward the
ground, the upper branches, although
strong, should be pinched back. This
will throw the strength of the plant
into the weaker branches and make
them as strong as if they pushed out
from the upper portions of the plant.
1t is impossible to teach this in the few
words of a paragraph. Much can be
learned from actual trials, and if the
amateur grower with little experience
in grape-g rowing, and with this para
graph before him, will experiment with
a single vine for one year, he will learn
more from actual observation than he
could by studying whole book on
grape culture for week.-Meehan's
Monthly.

When Geronimo Was Captured.
From thc press. Nc1r Ynrh Nr,

! Worn with the exposure of army life on

drinking of alkali water, Joseph Flegauf
returned TO Philadelphia eight years ago,
broken down in health and unable to do
any work.
He had served five years with the Ninth
United States Infantry in many desperate
| fight with the Indians in Arizona and other
frontier States and lad won an enviable
record. In the fierce conflict when Geron-
limo, the famous chief OF the Apaches, was
captured, Mr.. Flegauf was among the brave
soldiers who, forgetful of everything but
duty, charged upon the hostile Indians.
Life on the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who were never touched

Influence OF Food on Milk,

That the food and water dairy cows
take have direct influence on milk and
butter there is no doubt, and am of
the opinion that many cases of bad
butter are attributed to the mismanage-
ment of the dairymaid that ought to he
put down to bad management in the

HE PROVED THE OMEN.
A Sailors Superstitious Prediction Fol-

A sailors SupersttttouS Prediction Fol
lowed by His Own Death.
Speaking of sailors superstitions, -
remarked the veteran lighthouse keep
er, John Reeves, of Sea Isle City, recent
ly, ere minds me of an incident that hap
pened half a century ago off the Five
Fathom Bank lightship, in which a
sailors prediction, based on an omen.
resulted fatally to the prophet himself.
"a bright winter morning had caused
the crew of the lightship TO row n short
distance away in a small boat in search
of Goldfish, which are very abundant off
the capes in winter time. A few hours
fishing resulted in goodly catch, and a
return was made 10 the lightship. The
fish were cleaned and the refuse thrown
overheard, but calm sea, with not a
breath of air TO disturb il, caused the
refuse to drift in a circle around the
ship. Toward noon a large flock of
geese came in sight and settled under
the lightship's very bows and COM
menced to feed. The waterfowl be-
came very tame and SWAN, chattering
and kissing, close to the ships sides.
Josh Crowe!l, n grizzled old member
of the crew, shook his head and pre-
dicted death to some one on board in 81
hours. lie said that whenever geese
became so tame as to feed around YES
sells bow or stern it was an unfailing
omen of impending death on board.
Crowel's companions laughed at his
fear, but he told them to bide their
time.
Toward noon n strong gale came out
of the nor'east and kicked up heavy
sea. Crowell was on the forward or
bow watch.
MANY of the crew were in the main
cabin below enjoying social game of
cuchre, checkers or dominos, when sud-
denly they heard the sound of a chain
running rapidly through the starboard
bow scuppers. We rushed on deck in
dismay, thinking the windlass gearing
had given away. The sight witnessed
will never be forgotten. Crowell had
teen caught in the relief chain and
wound around the rapidly revolving
win6.ass. His death was instant. His
omen came true. observation-disclosures World.

THE CARE OF CATTLE.
Sunshine In Stables Is the Worst Enemy
of Tuberculosis.

Sunshine In Stables Is the Worst Enemy
of Tuberculosis.
The worst enemy of tuberculosis is
sunshine, and the average COW stable is
an ideal place for the spread of this dis
ease because it lacks the means of let
ting in the light. Probably nine -tenths
of the stables have been constructed
with view to the easy handling of the
manure. This has been the chief aim,
and convenience in feeding and the
comfort of the cows has too often been
lost sight of. 1t is well enough to get
the manure out of the stable with as
little work as possible, but it would be
more profitable if better care was taken
of it than is usually the case.
Owing to the location of some stables
it is impossible to get much sunlight in
them, but in the greater number of
barns, where the cows stand in n row
next to the side, it would be an easy
matter to put in a few windows. One
window for every two cows should be
the rule, and they may be swung open
to throw the manure out of them il
necessary. If the sun can shine directly
on the cows so much the better.-Prao-
teal Dairyman.

''shoe," by which the blade may be
raised or lowered, the iron should be
made wider than elsewhere so that the
shoes will not readily sink into the soil.
Lowering or raising the handle will
raise or lower the blade, which should
have sharp edge to slide easily under
the surface of the ground. Many cult
vators do not fully reslize the immense
advantage of keeping t.e ground in n
loose condition. In this way number
less weeds are destroyed, and of more
Importance perhaps than all, the loose
soil let's in the air and sunshine, which
are of the highest Importance in plant

be had to horse cultivator, but in the

Slower 10 "A Profitable Food.

Corn has been so long grown just for
its grain that it is hard to realize that
one-half of its value lies in the stover
which is too often left standing in the
field. If we expect to find this about
as valuable as timothy hay we must
give it the same care, otherwise it will
become dry and unpalatable, and there
will be great loss of material. Some
people deny this, but they are the ones
who find that stock will not eat the
dried, woody, weathcr-beaten stuff.
Hence they denounce corn fodder as an
Improbable food. Yet these same peo-
pie would not look for much value in
hay which had been subjected to a SINH
lar course of neglect.-N. Y. World.
