The adult beetle after making q hole

ABOUT FILLED CHEESE.
The Practice of Making 1t Is a Very Reps
rehensibla One.

The Practice of Making Ii Is a Very Rep
rehensible One.
1T is q fact that American cheese
makers have lost their prestige In the
markets of the old world on account of
the character of the product sent from
this country, and Canadians have, to
q great extent, taken the place thus left
vacant.
There is probably more filed cheese
made in Illinois than in any other state
in the union, though Wisconsin is good
second. The practice of making filled
cheese is reprehensible one, and the
evil is growing one, for Chicago con-
tains long list of sinners in this re-
spect.
Ii the cheese thus made could be sold
to the consumers for Just what II is,
there would not be SO much harm in it,
for he could buy it or let it alone, just
as best suited him. 1t is due the max
ers of filed cheese In Chicago to say
that they make no pretense that it is
full milk cheese, but make and sell it
for exactly what 1t is; but after it
leaves the hands of the maker it is
palmed off as pure cheese, regularly
made, and this is what gives American
cheese the reputation it has abroad,
and what has taken the trade away
from us and given it over into the hands
of Canadian cheese makers.
There should be laws to make this
state of affairs impossible, but SO far

THE FARMING WORLD.
ABOUT FARM pAlRYINa.

What Prof. Wing. of Cornell University,
Thinks of 1t.
Many think that the creamery but
ter is better than can be maize on the
farm.
Now, this Is entirely erroneous. Not
only is it perfectly possible to make as
good butter on the farm as can be made,
but is matter of 10 great difficulty
and does not require an expensive or
elaborate equipment. The principles
that govern the manufacture of good
butter are the same in either case;
their observance will result in good but
ter on the farm just as surely as their
neglect will result in bad butter in the
factory, That this is SO is seen in the
fact that numerous private dairymen,
having recognized these principles, are
getting more for their butter made up
in q small way In a private dairy than
is given for the very best grades of
creamery butter. Indeed, from the fact
that the private dairymen can control
the cows, their feed and care. and the
milk from the time it leaves the COW
until the finished product goes on the
market, he should be able 10 make
finer and more uniform product than
the factory man, who cannot control
these important conditions. Notwith-
standing the possibilities of the case,
the facts are that to-day the great mass
uf butter made on the farms is sold for
a less price than that made in creamer-
les. Let us look for moment at some
Of the reasons for this condition Of af-
fairs.
In the first place, there is a large
amount Of butter made on farms that
is not good to begin with, and justly
should not bring any more tl.an it usu-
ally does. This sort of butter is made
where the cows and butter making are
sort of side issue of the farm, where
the milk and butter must await the de-
nlands of all the other farm and house
work before they receive attention. It
Is made where the maker Is ignorant,
careless and dirty. The cows are milked
at the convenience of the hired man,
and the milk is strained and put into
the creamery at some indefinite time
reafter, when the hired girl gets
lady. Sometimes the cream is re-
moved in "a hours, and some times not
in four sdays. In hot weather the
cream gets too sour, and in cold, it
sometimes never gets sour at all. 1T is
churned at a temperature sometimes
too low, but oftener too high, nnd never
twice alike. The buttermill is not
completely removed, salt is added by
guess, and it is worked by main
strength till the dairy maid gets tired.
During the whole process it associates
more or less intimately with the cooked
end uncoolsed food in the family pam
try, and the wonder is, not that it is
bad, but that it is as good as It is.

like to spend that quarter Of dollar

Uncertain whether she were more

cepted the invitation, and had occasion
to remember that little excursion hap
PLY, for Tom could talk well, and she
had quick imagination, and the moon-
lighted stiffness was a good habita,

Tom, who had often looked at Ter with
respectful interest, began to love her
from that hour. Her hands, her exceed

were the only features noticeably pref

havior like the wish to scatter joy and
not pain among US"

Annual Loss from Poor Roads.

ten. Roy Stone, government engineer

conference at Asbury Park last year
that there are about soc, 100000 tons Of
freight hauled over roads every year
on the United States, and 60 per cent.
of the cost of doing it was due TO bad
roads. He believed that the loss from

The question was addressed to Tom
| Marvin, who sauntered up 10 the group,
and it was an inquiry put with special
| intent = in fact, a plot, that Toms
| friends, or his associates, for the nonce
(Iom made a wide distinction between
associates and friends) had devised to
confuse him. Toms most peculiar
trait was a singular frankness and
undraped truthfulness about himself.
l am sorry to say that Tom was
known privately among his associates
as Confession" sometimes shortened
to "Fess. though no one dared address
him to his face with the scbriquet.
This name, as I have said, was gained
by Toms unusual and singular trans
parency about himself. He seemed to
have no reserve. A question would ex-
tort anything from him bluntly, pro-
vided it concerned only himself. He
was very far from that brutal un-
kindness which some persons call
truthfulness or sincerity ard pride
themselves much thereon, and which
consists of saying disagreeable things,
If true, no matter how the words or
facts would mortify. On the contrary,
Tom was very kind and heedfrl in that
matter, and would cover as much as
he could any facts or state of mind in
himself or others which would hurt
another's feelings or wound his pride.
But in all that concerned himself fact
was fact, and that was the end of 1t,
and the world might have it and well
come. Why should he be ashamed of
fact not shameful? This was what
he said on rare occasions, when some
one had expressed wonder and amuse-
ment at his popularity; but with his
own heart it was unargued and uncon-
scious. He simply was incapable of
covering anything concerning him.
self or of caring whether it was known
or unknown, or of thinking what peo-

news. What is it?'
Why" said two or three of the
group, "Julia Elnle is engaged to be
married"
Tom started visibly, in spite of GER
tain sturdy fxity that belonged to hin,
and his associates exchanged sundry
sly winks.
''Yes," said one young fellow, insinu-
atingly, "she is engaged, and call it
good news. Julia Elrne is rice girl.
Don't yo11 think it good news, Tom?"
Well, should say not" said Tom,
stoutly, and walked away.
That was little too much for them,
with all their knowledge of Toms pc
culiar wey. They looked at each other
blankly for little while, and not quite
as comfortable as few minutes before.

FRUIT Bark BEETLE.
Although Recent Importation It Has
Done Much Harm

Although D Recent Importation It Has
Done Much Harms
This insect is comparatively new to
the farmers and fruit growers of Tie
United States, having been known in
this country less than 20 years. It has
been a serious pest to various kinds Of
fruit trees in Germany for over so years,
and was found working upon fruit
trees in the vicinity of Elmira. N. T.,
In 1877. 1t has gradually spread In all
directions, especially through the
south and central west. 1t was OBJ
served in large numbers in orchards in
South Carolina in 1885, and was very
destructive to fruit trees in Illinois in
1888. Two years later it was found in
Indiana, and is now well established
throughout the central Mississippi
valley.
My attention has been called TO it
many times during the present year.

The beetle will attack perfectly
healthy trees, but has decided pref
erenee for weak and sickly ones. A tree
infested with this insect can be easily
detected by a little careful observation.
The trunk and larger branches are
usually peppered full of little round
holes, about the size Of a pin head, as
