-Four Good Dairy Rules.

1 have four rules n the COW stable:
Cleanliness, gentleness, dry and quick
milking. L have taught one of my chill
dren to milk at IL years old by let
ting her go ahead and start the milk
and L follow and finish, SO there is no
danger in spelling cows. The milk IS
taken to the creamery as soon as
drawn, strained into eight-quart cans,
and after Sc hours it is skinned, and
the cream stands until it is ripe. Then
it is churned in a barrel churn, and
as soon as the butter has come into
granulated shape it is washed with
pure spring water. salted with the best
Higgins salt, put into bricks or tubs,
as the trade demands.-C. w. Stolten-
berg, in Farmers Review.

FARM AND GARDEN.
CAMEMsERT CHEESE.
When Well Made 1t Is Most Agreeabl,
and Wholesome.

| When Well Made 1t Is Most Agreeable
and wholesome.
r Camembert cheese dates from the
last century only 1t owes its name to
the place of its creation. A certain
Nine. Harel with her husband ultivated
some farm land in the commune of
Camembert in 1871. This new pro-
duction was sold at first only in the
commune and at Argentan, ON market
days. But the demand for it increased
so rapidly that a few years later it was
necessary to establish a depot in the
latter town.
In 1913 Marie Harel, the eldest mar
ried daughter, continued the mothers
business, and was publicly rewarded in
1864 by the Normandy association. She
started four more depots, and her ia
ther-in-law, NJ. Paynel, introduced the
first Camembert cheeses in the town of
Caen, while her goddaughter, Mime. de
Lessert, esta blished the first Camem-
bert cheese mandatory in Calvados.
In order to succeed well in the making
of this cheese it is necessary not to skim
the milk, which should coagulated, and
to leave the butter-mal&ing for the
months from May to August, at which
time of the year only dry cheeses can
be made Rennet is added to the milk,
which is gently turned and afterward
left in repose in vessels with a wooden
cover till the coagulation has arrived
at the proper point. To ascertain this
one placer the back of a finger on the
surface, and if it is not stained with the
milk it sufices. Next comes the process
of putting the cream into forms which
are open at both ends, and placed on
! rushes so as to let the drops of thin
milk rul- off easily. The cheeses are
afterward carefully sailed and taken to
the drying place, where they are left
from three to four weeks.
On the third Oh fourth day they begin
to be covered with small brown points.
After week or ten days they are full
of Il sort of white vegetation, with a
few blanks between. When they begin
to sweat, and don't stick to the fingers,
they are placed on planl1s and carried
to the cellars to arrive at a state of per-
lection. This occupies another 20 or
| 30 days, during which time they must
| be carefully watched and tended When
| they are ripe they are placed in half
dozens, wrapped in paper, and covered
with stray fastened with string, ready
for their journey. They are also
packed in rush baskets or white wooden
| boxes. The price of the Camembert
| varies with the season. In the summer
| they may fall low as five francs the
dozen, and go up again sometimes to
| eight and nine francs. When well made

wholesome of cheeses.-London Stand.

yin.s a. am Attract,on.

The object of plants and flowers is to
beautify, and the lover of a well-ap-
pointed lawn and grounds will make no
mistake if he allows them to beautify
the commonplace objects about the
home. A trim yard of wire netting fur
nishes a most excellent trellis for vines,
while being, at the same time, orna-
mented by them. Such netting fence
affords an excellent place for the grow
ing of many kinds of grapes, while
the shade thus afforded will be most
grateful to the inmates of the yard
during the hot weather. Carrying the
utility idea still further, one might
mention the hop vine as most suita BILE
TO train around the doorway. If one
is trying to make his grounds look we'll,
it is certainly wise to avail ones self
of this easy way to lend beauty, and
even a useful beauty, to what might
otherwise be an unattractive object.

ECONOMY IN HAULING.



Some Convincing Reasons Why Good
Roads Should he Built
In a talk on good roads A. j. johnson,
very effective work in road construction
in New Jersey, gave the following Tea-
sons why good roads should be con-
structed:
1T has been proved that on sandy
roads 30 bushels of grain are a load for
two horses; on so-called pike roads so
bushels are the maximum load; on ma
cadam roads 100 bushels, and on the
best grades of telford roads 200 bushels
can be carried. If these figures are cor
rect, and there is no reason to question
them, they furnish an impressive argu-
ment for the improvement of roads
an argument, moreover, which ought
to appeal most forcibly to farmers,
whose interest in the question has thus
far been rather sluggish The agita-
ton for good roads accomplished little
so long as it was discussed from the
speculative point of view. People who
read appeals on the subject agreed with
them in theory, perhaps, but they saw
no reason why they should personally
do anything in the matter. But there
are other practical arguments in favor
of good roads that also appeal strongly
New Jersey canneries pay two cents
less a basket for tomatoes that have
been hauled over rubble roads, because
they are injured by the jo1ting they re-
ceive. "-Wisconsin Agriculturist.

L,mburger Cheese Making,

The curd is made by aid of rennet
in the usual way, then cut up aud
placed to drain in a perforated box
lined with linen cloth. When the
whey has drained off, salt, parsley,
tarragon and small onions mashed into
pulp are added and well mixed with
the curd. 1t is then put into moIds
and left to drain for SO to 4S hours;
then the cheese is taken out of the
mold and placed in a well-aired room
at a temperature of 65 to 20 degrees
Fahrenheit, on an osier hurdle covered
with wheat straw, where it remains
for six or eight days. 1t is then salted
and placed in a cellar upon shelves
covered with fresh straw. The salt
ing is repeated after two or three days,
after which the cheeses are merely
turned from time to time. Once a
month the cheese is brushed over to
remove the mold, and in three months
the cheese is ripe.-RuraI World.

The Proper Use of ounces.

It is rather a curious fact about the
ounce that this fruit is less used by
itself than as an accompaniment Tor
other fruits Apples, and even pears,
are much improved by having some
ounces mixed with them when cooked
or canned. Sweet apples, mixed with
one-third their bulk of ounces, make
very good pies. There are some kinds
of pears, like Bartlett and Seckel, that
are sweet. and when canned they be-
come almost tasteless. A few ounces
put up with them greatly improves the
dapor.-American Cultivator.

DAIRY MANAGEMENT.

How to House Cows So They VIII Pay
for Themselves.
will first quote the golden rule of
dairying: Make the cow thoroughly
comfortable by keeping her warm and
satisfied with good food and pure wa
ter, and keep her clean and give her
exercise. The man with only three
or four cows can fix a warm place in or
about his barn. But will give plan
for ten cows which can be reduced for
a smaller number or enlarged as much
as desired, and yet be very handy and
economical.
For ten cows should certainly have
a silo. In this article shall not give a
detailed plan for building the cheap
est and best silo, but may in future.
A stable should be light, well ventilated
and warm. 1t should be so arranged
as to be handy and save as much labor
as possible. I think these points are
attained in the following plan. and a
look at the diagram will be sufficient TO
prove it.
For 20 cows would extend the length
of the building, and for greater num-
Der I would build in the opposite direc-
ton from silo. The cutter sets on the
floor, up level with frame on wagon,
making it easy to unload the heavy
corn.
You ask what all this has to do with
the producing of milk. Well, you can't
produce much milk in winter without
good winter quarters. Though they
need not be expensive, they must be
warm, and if really handy, one mar
can care for twice many cows. and
thus make the product cheaper.

We think we can't do without clover
hay (cut early. A little mash of cut
clover and wheat bran, made real wet,
is relished by every cow and has no
equal for producing good milk. In the
management of cows we turn them in
the penning-room after milking at
night, and put feed in the managers be-
fore we turn them in to milk them in
morning. In every herd there are some
very timid cows, also some regular
bosses; even if they are dehorned they
push and knock the timid ones around

GEORGE LANGFoRD WRITES.
Fra1sing the Hospitable Britons for
Their COurtesies


Another letter received from George Lang
iora py the members of his family, sounds
In the most enthusiastic praise the unlimited
hospitality of the English people to the mem
Ders OF the Yale crew, of which Mr., Lang
Iord IS member. The letter was dated
AFTER the great race at Henley course. since
winch event the crew has been dined and
1eted continuously. The letter stated thar
every night, without one exception, their
English hosts had provided some kind of an
entertainment for them, either a theater
party, banquet, coaching party, or hop.
Every member of the crew is in love with
the English people, who seem to think the
Yale men are equally nice. At one of the
IeteS set piece OF fireworks was touched
off, the piece representing Yale and Leander
Joining hands. Mr.. Langford writes that the
enthusiasm was something tremendous at this
1uncture, as the piece was surprise to ALL
The Englishmen and their American guests
Rugged each other in their delight and
fr1endliness. At a banquet served the Yale
men by the Leanders, each drank to the
eternal good will of the other out of the
grand challenge cup. At one banquet, Chaun-
cey M Depew and other prominent Ameri-
cans spoke, as we'll as members of the Eng
fish nobility.
f. Speaking of the English crews, Mr.. Lang
ford says they are undoubtedly the finest
oarsmen in the world and that Yale had
gained an experience which will be Of in
estimable benefit to her in the future. The
English oarsmen, says Mr.. Langford, train
from early youth and individually are ex-
perts. He says the veteran oarsmen, men
with white hair, are living contradictions of
the claim that rowing shortens the life of the
oarsmen. The British oarsman rows harder
than the American. He puts more power
into the sweep, and RECEIVERS with wonderful
neatness and with little effect upon the speed
of the boat. Mr.. Langford is expected home
shortly.

BOYD FINED FIFTY.
Sentence of the Constable Convicted
of Larceny

After several continuances, sentence
was passed yesterday on w. B. Boyd
Who was convicted of larceny in the
police court several weeks ago. Boyd,
who was at the time of the larceny.
and is now a constable in a Justice
court, was found guilty of holding out
50 from youth who commenced suit
to recover the wages due him from the
GoSs Roberts Co. The evidence showed
that Boyd had collected $35, and had
only paid over $25 to the plaintiff. Some
months afterward the plaintiff in the
suit learned that Boyd had collected
$50 from the firm instead of SIS, and a
warrant was issued for Boyd's arrest
on charge of larceny A jury trial
was demanded and a verdict of guilty
rendered.
The case has been continued from
time to time and yesterday Boyd was
before Judge Twohy for sentence. He
was represented by E. E. Mcdonald
and F, HI. Clark and both attorneys
asked for continuance on the ground
or newly discovered evidence. The new
evidence consisted of a witness who,
1t was stated, would testify that he
heard the plaintiff in the suit tell Boyd
that any amount more than $25 COL
lected, he, Boyd, could have for himself.
Judge Twohy said he did not care to
hear any more evidence at this time
and sentenced Boyd to pay fine Of
sou or stand committed to the work
house for sixty days. AS soon as the
sentence was pronounced a motion was
made for an arrest of judgement pend
ing motion for new trial E. e.
Mcdonald explained to the court that
the witness who was wanted was at
present engaged in the harvest fields
or washington county and could not
be secured before Monday The court
directed the clerk to issue a stay until
that time when motion will be argued
Tor new trial. Ex-Justice Of the Peace
Rodgers, under whose jurisdiction the
suit was brought, asked the court, be-
fore passing sentence, to be as lenient
as possible with Boyd. He said the
statement had been made that he was
anxious to have the case against BOYD
pushed but this is false.
