The monthly business meeting of the
Green Ridge whelmen occurred Tues
day evening. A committee was APP
pointed to make arrangements for the
clubs annual excursion. 1t was also
unanimously decided to hold race meet
some time during the latter part Of July.
An executive committee Of three was
appointed with power to select such
committees as necessary to prop
erly conduct the meet. The Green
Ridge boys lost money last year on their
races, the weather being against them,
but they are confident that there are
enough wheelmen and lovers of good
clean sport in this city and vicinity to
make this years meet II grand success.
There is no reason why it should not be
so, as other cities not half the size of

should certainly support one.

some Figures on Cheese.

In recent report Major H. E. AL
word, of the United States Dairy Di-
vision, says:
Nine-tenths of the cheese produced
in this country is made in the states of
New York, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois,
Vermont, Iowa, Pennsylvania and
Michigan, ranking in the order named.
The New York product alone is almost
one-half the total, and this state and
Wisconsin together make over two
thirds of all made.
1t requires the milk Of about one mill
lion cows to make the cheese annually
pressed in the United States.
The value OF the annual cheese prod
uct of this country varies from $780,
100000 to $25. 100000.
About 100000 pounds of cheese are
imported annually into the United
States.
The rate of consumption of cheese in
America is about three pounds per
capita per annum.
Consumption Of cheese Is apparently
somewhat decreasing.
Good cheese is approximately COM
posed of one-third water, one-third
milk fat, and one-third casein, with
some sugar and ash.

Goats.

The goat has not had fair show in
modern times. Among the ancients
he was highly esteemed, and figured
extensively in serious literature. Now
he is only the butt of funny para
graphers whose acquaintance with him
is confined to tradition that he eats
tomato cans on the Harlem rocks. The
children of Israel and the heroes OF
Homer, knew him better. The Old
Testament shows the goat as an essen
tial part of the Hebrews flocks. 1t
gave him milk and meat for food, hair
and skins for clothing and was his
most common sacrifice for sin. En-
camped before the walls of Troy,
Ulysses and his comrades RECALLED
themselves with the fat goats roasted
quarters, and thought themselves spe-
cially blessed of the gods. But we of
the Western world have come to des-
pise the goat as ''the poor mans cow"
a useful enough animal for the noun
taineers of the Alps or the squatter
sovereigns of unsavory suburbs, but
an inferior creature not worth the no
ttco OF the free-handed owner of broad
American acres, possessed of Jerseys,
Merinos and blooded trotters, and
above the utilization of brush lot or
stony pasture. Some American
farmers, however, are coming to real
lie that the goat may be made one Of
their valuable domestic animals, not
merely poverty-stricken substitute
for a COW, but an addition to the farm
community, filling place of its own
and giving return peculiar to itself.
A Missouri farmer writes to an agri-
cultural paper that he finds goats
profitable for rough land filled with
weeds and bushes. He has had them
four years, and they have destroyed
the bushes, sumac and small persim-

NIiIdew on Peas.

Late peas, especially when grown
in damp ground. are often co badly
widowed that it is not worth while
growing them. The pea mildew is one
OF the powdery mlldews, Erysiphe
communis, belonging to the same
family as the powdery mildew of the
grape. 1t grows entirely ON the sur
face Of the host plant. covering it with
white coating of delicate interwov-
en- fungous threads. At certain points
protuberances appear on threads
which serve as suckers, drawing from
the cells the nourishment required for
the growth of the fungous. The spores
are produced in delicate sacs which
in turn are enclosed in dark coIored
spore cases. The latter appear as
black specks just visible to the naked
eye among the fungous threads. The
disease attacks leaves, leaf-stalk, nod
and stem so that the pea plant is thor
orghly infested with it, much to the
detriment of its growth. Frequent
cultivation or irrigation viii do much
to hold the disease in check, but the
use of some fungicide will be desira-
BILE upon late varieties in hot, dry sea-
sons. Among the best for the purpose
is solution of one pound Of copper
sulphate in 500 gallons Of water.

PRIVATE CREAMERY.

The party from whom we recel'eu
these figures makes this notation:
Farmers, please examine the above
carefully, and see how much you nave
lost or gained who have sold TO the
above creameries."
Taking the whole year through. IL
will be seen that the average paid by
the cooperative creamery is only zh2c
less than that paid by the creamery
utilizing skim milk for filled cheese.
ANY farmer that will sell his skim
milk for the purpose Of making hlled
cheese at an average of 21sc per hun
dred, is certainly lacking either IN
good Judgment or sound business
sense: and has never understood the
value of skim milk, even for fertiliz-
ing purposes. He would make more
money by dumping the milk on the
ground or any place where he raises
either fruit or vegetables, than to sell
it at the rate of 21ac per hundred.
This shows how the makers Of filled
cheese have been humbugging the
farmers, telling them that they were
receiving so large an amount per hun
dred for their skim milk over and
above what they could get were they
selling their milk to creameries where
filled cheese was not made. Ever
since the passage of the filled cheese
bill we have heard the cry that the
farmers were going to lose a large
amount of money by its passage, be-
cause the factory men who made filled
cheese could afford to pay so much
more for their milk. We have no
doubt but what they could afford to pay
much more for the milk when they
manufacture filled cheese and sell it as
it has been sold for the last five years.
But that they did pay this advanced
price for the milk where they manu-
facture filled cheese is not fact; and
they have been humbugging the farm
ers at their expense, and making a
great deal of profit out of the manu-
facture Of the fraudulent article.-El-
gin Dairy Report.
