Selecting Cheese.

The department of agriculture has
issued a very valuable circular on
How to Select Good Cheese" In speak
ing of the composition of filled
cheese" it says Instead of the natural
fat of milk, or cream, which is extract
I'd for buttermaking, there is substitute
ed what is known as neutral lard,
made from the leaf fat of the hog. This
article. claimed to be exceptionally
pure and good of its kind, is used at the
rate of two or three pounds to every
100 pounds of skim milk. The cheese
resulting carries about 80 per cent. OF
Qard) fat, which is rather less than the
average of (butter) fat in good whole
milk cheese. The casein aid other
components of the two are practically
the same in kind and proportion From
this statement of composition one can
Judge for himself whether this filled,
or lard cheese Is a legitimate article OF
food, whether it is wholesome" and
whether he desires to use it in the diet
| OF himself and family. 1t is made OF
comparatively cheap materials, costing
| from one-half to two-thirds as much as
good, full-cream. factory cheese, and
its market price, wholesale or retail
should correspond. At its best, this is
a cheap, inferior article OF cheese; II
is almost devoid of flavor, oily or
greasy when warm, and never attains
the dry, crumbiy consistency of we'll
cured cheese. 1t is sold when only a
month or two from the press, in imita-
ton of mild, immature cheese. 1t is
claimed that it does not keep well, es'
pecially if subjected to temperature
above 60 degrees. There is much o.
value in the way of advice and sugges
ton in this little pamphlet. which may

"OLD STATE OF PIKE. "
THE HOME OF THE STARK
BROTHERS NURSERIES.
One of the Biggest Institutions In tho
World-Its Trade Extends to Nearly
Every Civilized Nation on Earth.

st. Louis Republic, January z, 1896:
One Of the largest institutions in Louis
lana is the Stark Bros Nurseries and
Orchards company. The trade of the
firm extends not only throughout the
United States, Canada, Germany,
France. Italy, Hungary and other for
eign countries, but it has number OF
customers both in New Zealand and
Australia.
Eighty years ago there came from
Kentucky to Pike county the late
Judge Stark, then a young man fresh
from Old Hickorys New Orleans cam
paign. He started the nursery and
planted the first grated orchard in the
state, having brought the scions on
horseback from Kentucky.
The business has descended from
father to son, and is now conducted BY
the third generation, assisted by the
fourth. This firm has more than 1000
travelling solicitors, and employs more
people in its offices than would be nee
essary to run a large manufacturing
concern. The extensive packing-houses
OF the company are adjacent TO the city,
connected with the railroad by special
tracks. From these packing-houses
hundreds of carloads of trees are
shipped annually. The nursery grounds
embrace a number of farms convenient
to the city, and even extends to ROCK
port, H., where there is plant or
several million trees.
The popularity of the concern is the
establishment of large orchards. These
orchards in "a states aggregate nearly
$4,000 acres, and more than 100000
trees on the partnership plan. The firm
is also interested in as many more
trees on the cooperative arrangement.
The nurseries have been beneficial not
only to their home, but Missouri owes
no little Of her prestige as fruit
growing region to the progress and
work of development of this firm. The
exhibits of this firm, whenever made,
attract great attention, and do much
to advertise the state. The firm Gays
large amounts for new varieties Of fruit
and conducts the largest business OF
the kind in America, if not in the
world.
Louisiana firms have more travelling
men upon the road for them than travel
out of any other city of the world OF
its size. This, of course, is largely due
to the large number of men employed
by the Stark Bros. Nurseries, who fur.
nish their men the most complete, up
to-date outfit ever issued. They are
Increasing their force of statesmen daily
and room for more.
