Interesting paper on cheese-making in Cal
ifornia. He showed that in 1850 15C
pounds of cheese was made in this State
in 1860, ,343, 600 pounds; in 1870, 4, 1876, ,0OC
pounds; in 1890, 1852, 900 pounds, and in
1895. 100000 pounds. He declared tina.
California has greater advantages for
cheese making than the East, yet the in
dnstry is not carried out as it should be,
as Is shown by the large importation from
the East and the reduced price for which
California has to sell in order to compete.
This entails loss to California dairy men
of $4,000 This could be saved to them
if they would manufacture better quality
OF cheese-in fact California cheese can be
made to attain repute as great as that
possessed by California fruit. He urged
the establishment of school of instruc-
tion. so that dairymen could learn how to
make first-class cheese,
Professor Wickson said that he Endorsed
all that Mr.. Pearson had said. but thought
he had not stated it strong enough.
President MailIard said that it was a
shame that people should have to buy
Eastern cheese if they want quality that
will last for several days.
Major Alvord, upon request, said a few
words on the subject of cheese-making,
stating that California, so far as his obseT-
vations went, has very great advantages
for the industry. He urged the dairymeri
70 SUCK 70 Iull cream cHeeSe IL they desired
to keep up good reputation. He called
attention to the fact that the exclusive use
of alfalfa as food for cows has tendency
to give milk, butter and cheese a taste
that is not agreeable.
In answer to a question, he said that
while it was true that skim milk cheese is
nutritious, it is not advisable to make
such.
The programme for to-day will be: At
the morning session Professor c. w.
Woodwork will advance some ideas on
important points in State inspection !;
Major Alvord of the Bureau of Annual In
dustry will suggest plans for securing dairy
legislation; in the afternoon DIR. r. II.

research into the nature of tuberculosis

paper on "What the COW ought to do for
the dairyman, and what the dairyman
ought to do for the cow; there will be a
paper by A. II. Shrite on creamery man
agement; William Vanderbilt, secretary
of the California bureau, will recommend
the revising the present dairy law; the
secretary will read his report on the year 5

(Prom the Engineering Magazine.)
Speaking editorially of the postpone
ment till next year of the thousand
guinea prize competition proposed by
The Engineer (London), the journal OF
Gas Lighting says the reasons for the
postponement "are very much on the
line Of the historic excuses of local
authority for neglecting to ring the town
bells in honor of visiting monarch.
As matter Of fact, satisfactory me-
lhanical road carriage has not yet bean
produced; and there is very little encour-
sgement for the hone that anything of
The kind will be forth coming either this
rear or next.
There are. Of course. petroleum road
sars and benzoline biz yclss of all sorts; but
nuEhing of the kind in esse or in posse is
more likely to supersede tho common
omnibus, to say nothing of the victoria

IF mechanical traction as applied to

COMPRESSED AIR.
The compressed air motor now ap-
pears as possibility of the future un-
recognized by our contemporary, it's trial
in New York having given very enoour-
aging results AS applied to tramway
traffic. But the possibility Of it's use as
motor for carriages on common roads
is so remote and involves so much pro-
gross in the general distribution and
supply OF compressed mir, that he would
be bold prophet who SHOULD venture,
10 predict Its use for this purpose, even
in cities, not to speak of country roads.
In fact, the journal quoted IL about
right In saying that the possibilities for
general traffic Of anything In the way of
horseless carriages yet produced are ex-
tremely limited. In France it may seem
that there is a notable excsption-the
oerpollet carriage: but though this has
done some good work on the excellent
French roads, description of its parts
shows that the machine Is far too oom-
plIcated structure for universal use.
The present Status of tho horseless cnr-
rlHse is summed up in the concluding
paragraph of the editorial under review:
A il this is far enough from Offering
even the germ of satisfactory meohani-
cal road carriage, such as, to use the
