The Metric System.

The Committee ON Coinage, Weights and
Measures Of the Federal House of Represen-
tatiyes has been considering bill for the
adoption Of the metric system of weights and
measures, which, originating in France, has
been adopted In many other countries The
bill proposes to make the system mandatory
in MI official transactions after July /, 1897,
and In private transactions after July /. 1899.
Ono Of the great troubles about oJfr present
system H. that we have so many words that
do not express anything definite. We have
three sorts Of pounds, though two of them
express the same weight, three sorts of
Dances, great variety OF bushels when con-
sidercd In connection with their weight
equivalent, several kinds OF gallons, many
sorts of barrels aud so on. Then there are
miles and leagues that express different
lengths in different countries, and 50 OF feet
As to foreign weights and measures II re-
quires an expert to convert them to their
equivalents in the United States.
still It is very doubtful whether change
would be acceptable to the people. After
il was made we should hear no more OF
inches, feet, furlongs or miles, but OF milli-
metres, centimetres, dqeimetres, metres, de-
kametres, hectometres and kilometres. In
stead OF acres, roods and perches, we should
have hectares, centares and ares. Instead
gallons, quarts and pints, we should have
litres, decilitres, dekalitres. etc. For weights
We should have grams, dikagrams, hecto-
grams, kilograms. etc. That this would ere
ate confusion in the minds OF many peopl,
Is sadisputable. Once familiar to the people
It would be very desirable, because 1t would
express precisely the same thing in every in
stance, and would be intelligible at home,
and abroad to everybody who had devoted a.
little study to the subject.

HOME MADE CHEESE.
In last Sundays Tacoma Ledger,

tons for making cheese at home:
If care is taken to follow these di-
rections, there is no reason why
such may not be made to at least
supply home demand. Of course,
for COMMERCIAL cheese, all agree
that the regular factory under the
guidance of an expert hand-like
one of the professors dairy student
graduates, for instance-or some
one else with practical experience,
is best, in fact, essential, but for
home use, these directions are very
valuable, and | thank Professor
Spillman for his courtesy in pre-
pairing this for publication in the
Ledger. The following are the
directions in full
Use only pure sweet milk; if warm
from the cow, all the better.
Get the milk to temp. of $500
deg. F. Add enough rennet ex-
tract to curdIe in 1920 minutes
(5'12 otrifces of extract per 1000
pounds of lqill, according to
strength). 1t is best to dilute the
extract with warm water before
adding. If rennet tabules are used
follow the directions with them.
Mix the milk and rennet thorough
", then leave quiet till curdled.
When Ready to Cut
Insert the finger into the curd
obliquely and lift it up as if to lift
out piece of curd. When the curd
is hard enough that it breaks
smoothly over the finger, instead
of sliding off on each side, it is
ready to cut. The temperature
should remain about $500 while
curdling is goingon.
Cut the curd by means of a curd
knife, or otherwise into pieces about
the size of pea, and then stir it
gently three or four minutes. The
next step is to expel the whey from
the curd. This is done by heating.
Raise the temp. during the next
20-3O minutes to about 1O2-1O4
deg, or until the curd begins to
squeak between the teeth when a
bit of it is chewed. Stop heating
only when this condition is reached.
The quicker the heating the higher
the temp required This process
of expelling whey is also called
cooking the curd.
Heating may be done on a stove
or by dippine out half the whey,
heating it to 1O4 deg. and pouring
it back, repeating the operation
every five minutes, till the whey IS
expelled from the curd as above.
When the curd is cooked draw
off the whey or dip il out edo this
rapidly drain the curd well, stir
ring meanwhile to prevent running
together (thiS stirring must be kept
up also while cooking The urd, or
1t will mat together in the bottom
of the yat). When curd Is drained
this takes only a few minutes salt
is added 2-3 pounds salt to the 1000
pounds Of milk used.
Mix salt and curd well, then put
eurd in press.
From adding rennet to putting
to press takes about an hour.
