1t is becoming well understood that
it is the fat in the food that has the
most value in the nutrition of animals
of all kinds, and thus it becomes an in
teresting matter closely related to the
making and eating of cheese, for cheese
is essentially food rich in fat, and
more so as the fatty bodies in cheese are
considerably increased by the curing,
in which process some of the protein
matters are changed into fatty sub
stances that have most important
value of nutrition. So the dairyman
should have clear understanding of
cheese in both these relations and make
as much as he can of it for his own use
and more for sale, and ell interested il
the welfare Of this great interest and
that of the community rs wei should
do all that may be possible to encourage
the making Of the widest variety Of
cheese and the large sale and uso of it.
For domestic use as well az tlr salc
there are many kinds of small cheeses
that may be made of both full and
SKINNED milk with advantage by those
who have the milk. In European coun-
tries, where cheese forms q more FIRE.
quent article Of diet than meat, there
are considerably more than hundred
varieties of this kind of cheese made, of
such sizes as may be eaten at one meal
by family or by one hungry person,
And as we consider this subject 1t
should be with the knowledge that one
pound of cheese has far more nutriment
in it than a pound of meat There is no
waste, as of bone, in it, as there is in
meat, and it is more digestible, and at
the same time it acts as an aid to the
digestion of other food. AS compared
with the best beef free from bones and
other waste, a full milk cheese has
2,070 units Of nutritive value against
1910 in sirloin steak, while skim
milk cheese has 1,165 units, thus
showing that even at the same prices
skimmilk cheese is of considerably
more value than the best of beef, TAX
ing into account the amount of useless
matter in the beef. In addition, tho
cheese, containing as it does the still ex-
listing influence of the rennet in it, and
this being digestive agent, even q
skimmilk cheese we'll cured will be not
only intrinsically more nutritious thar
the best part of beef, but indirectly by
its effect on the digestion of other food
it will have a considerable additional
value. This is something for the farmer
to think about, and especially for those
who are employed wholly or even in
part in the dairy, for how enormous a
quantity of skimmilk goes to waste
every day that might be turned to good
use as food in the form of cheese!--

honest to his neighbor, and it makes the
man honest toward the COW and honest
toward himself. 1t makes him feel like
shouting, What shall | do to DO
tavod3" and he begins to place the dairy
business in the line of intelligence, and
the result is we are doing what never
saw the like of before The Babcock test
is simply this:
We take l7.6 centimeters of milk in
small bottle shaped for the purpose, a
certain number of centimeters of sui
phuric acid and turn it into the milk.
This is n metric portion of 100 pounds
Of milk. This is put into whirler and
whirled about a thousand revolutions.
whirler separates the fat from the casein
and leaves the fat on top. A little hot
water is turned into it, and the fat
comes into the neck of the bottle, when
it is measured in tenths by scale ON j.,
and you find i'll l7.6 centimeters of
milk you have so many tenths of butter
fat That indicates the per cent of but
ter fats in every 100 pounds of milk. If
man brings me 100 pounds of milk,
with A per cent of fats, all right or if
only 2 per cent all right--he gets just
that much to his credit, and no more,
no less. If he waters his milk, he wa.
tiers himself and he doesn't water his
neighbor at all, ms by the old cooper
alive process. The system is delight
full, and the effect upon the intelligence
Of the people is grand. Plenty of farm
ers' boys use it. They go around testing
cows for so much head. One boy of

All you kicllers who don't want your

your milk as you did the old way. We

the other the pool vat-and all those
who are suspicious of each other will be

are willing to be judged by the deeds

Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

The ceanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and | take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.
