From Butter to Cheese.

The ACCESSIBILITY of changing from
butter 10 cheese making is beginning
to be discussed by city produce and
commercial papers. This discussion is
inspired by spectators who bought
large quantities of butter last summer
fcT holding in cold storage to be sold
this fall and early winter, when it was
expected butter would take the usual
upward turn. 1t so happens that the
present supply Of fresh butter is am
pie for the demand for consumption.
The weather in the Northwest has
been especially favorable and the milk
supply is lot only holding its own but
in many sections there is a little gain.
SO the outlook is not very encouraging
for the fellows who bought our butter
for Is cents with the expectation Of
doubling their money on it. Out adj
vice to the creamery associations is to
continue the business: provide the
COWS with comfortable quarters, feed
intclligently and generously, and by
milking regularly, quickly and gently
the cows will bring double the returns
you would get If you converted the
feed into meat Or sold 4 in the market.
However, neighbOrhoods that are con-
sidcring the ACCESSIBILITY of starting in
cooperative diaries would do well to
consider the cheese question where
there is q doubt as to whether sutfi.
cient COWS can he secured to furnish
five or six thousand pounds of milk on
the start. In the states east of the
Mississippi there are Il great many
combined butter and cheese factories
that during the past two or three years

prices are relatively higher for cheese
than for butter, many doubtless have
already returned to cheese making, and
the time is not far distant when prices
will again be on a level.-Farm, Stock

How Butter IL Sailed in Denmark.

As soon as the buttermilk is extract
ed the butter is weighed in order to as
certain the amount of salt requisite to
mix with the worker. Some add all
the salt at once, others in two parts.
The same proportion OF salt is not al

) per cent of the weight of the butter.

ter is usually sold to merchants who
buy on commission or for themselves.
These dealers are supposed to be &c
quainted with the needs of the mar
ket. and it is customary to comply
with their ideas as regards sailing and
cOloring of the butter. The addition
of salt should be made with the least
possible manipulation of the butter.

time before again working ii. In sum

morning, before giving the last touches.
The object is not merely 10 cool the
product, but to give greater firmness
and allow the salt to dissolve and per
meate the entire mass. When butter
has acquired the proper consistency it
is again placed in the worker, and the
last remains of buttermilk. as also the
brine produced by the melted salt, is
extracted. The length of this work

scheme that is now being considered by
committee of the convention Of railway
passenger agents which met in Atlantic
City last week. This plan is that a

that this paper shall be handled by q

Mr.. T. II. Lee, manager Of the Ameri-

p0sed the plan for stopping counterfeit

ths matter under advisement. If the
new scheme of uniform tickets printed

conductors will be provided with such

MATTERS IN BEALTOWN.
One of Those Peculiar City Government
Meetings Last Night.

Bangor, September 23.-A rather SEN
sational meeting OF the city government
was held this evening. Two ca lis had
been issued for it, to settle important
matters now in dispute, the first calling
a joint session and the other calling q
special meeting. Both were issued by the
city clerk as usual who when the ille-
gality of the first call was brought to his
attention, issued second call in regular
form. The mayor insisted on joint
session and when the aldermen claimed
that such a call was illegal the mayor
declared that he would revoke the call
and no meeting would be held.
After much discussion Alderman Glass
was chosen temporary chairman. He
called the board to order. The city clerk
read the roll showing quorum present
A message was sent to the common
council that the upper board was in
session and would adjourn to Thursday
evening. Adjournment was then had.
