LimburRor Cheese Making.

The curd is made by aid of rennet

lined with a linen cloth. When the
whey has drained of, salt, parsley,
tarragon and small onions mashed into
pulp are added and we'll mixed with
the curd. 1t is then put into molds
and left to drain for Sc to 4s hours;
then the cheese is taken out of the
mold and placed in well-aired room
at a temperature of IS to 70 degrees
Fahrenheit, on an osier hurdle covered
with wheat straw, where it remains
for six or eight days. It is then sailed
and placed in 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 month";
the cheese is ripe.-Rura1 World.

even useful beauty, to what might

FARM AND GARDEN.
CAMEMBERT CHEESE.
When Wolf Made 1t II Most Agreeable
and WholeaOmo.

When Wolf Made It II Most Agreeable
and Wholesome.
Camembert cheese dates from the
/ last century only. 1t owes its name to
the place Of its creation. A certain
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
50 rapidly that a few years later it was
necessary to establish 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, Nine. de
Lessert, established the first Camem-
bert cheese mandatory in Calvados.
In order to succeed we'll in the making
Of this cheese it is necessary not to skim
the milk, which should coagulated, and
to leave the butter-making for the
months from May to August, at which
time of the year only dry cheeses can
be made. Itennet 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 places the back of finger on the
surface, and if it is not stained with the
milk it sutsices. Next comes the process
of putting the cream into forms which
are open at both ends, and placed on
PUSHES 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 o. fourth day they begin
to be covered with small brown points.
After week or ten days they are full
OF sort of white vegetation, with
few blanks between. When they begin
to sweat, and d'n't stick to the fingers,
they are placed on planks and carried
to the cellars to arrive at 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 as low as five francs the
dozen, and go up again sometimes to
eight and nine francs. When well made
it is one of the most agreeable and
wholesome of cheeses.-London Stand

ECONOMY IN HAULING.
Some Convincing Reasons why 0oos
Roads Should Be Built.

Some CONVINCING Reasons Why Good
Roads Should Be Built.
In talk on good roads A. j. johnson,
civil engineer, who has done some
very effective work in road construction
in New Jersey, gave the following rea'
sons why good roads should be con-
structed:
1T has been proved that on sandy
roads 20 bushels of grain are a load tor
two horses; on so-called pike roads oo
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'
tion: 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
to the farmer. 1t il said that certain
New Jersey canneries pay two cents
less a basket for tomatoes that have
been hauled over rubblc roads, because
they are injured by the jolting they re-
ceive." -Wisconsin Agriculturist.

dren to milk at IL yeals old by let

and 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 81 hours it is skinned, and
the cream stands until it is ripe. Then
it is churned in barrel churn, and

TAPEWORMS IN FOWL

Interesting Bulletin Issued by the De-
Partment Of Agriculture.
The department of agriculture has
just issued very interesting bulletin
on this subject, prepared under dircc-
ton of D. E. Salmon, of the bureau Of
animal industry. 1t records 80 species
of tapeworm that affect poultry and
wild birds, but some of them are doubt
full. Six different tapeworms are re-
corded from pigeons, from turkeys,
II from chickens, from swans, z from
geese, 16 from ducks, etc.
Chickens are known to become
affected with one tapeworm through
eating slugs; they are supposed to be-
come infected with another through
eating snails, and still another, from
earthworms. Ducks are known to be-
come infected through swallowing
fresh-water crustaceans, and with two
Others they are supposed to become
infected the same way. One species is
supposed to be transmitted through
flies. Geese are infected through
fresh-water crustaceans-shell ami
mails.
With ducks and geese that have free
access to streams, ponds, lakes, ETC.,
prevention is impossible. With chick
ems, an determination of slugs will pre-
vent one species, Davainea proglottina.
In general, clean grounds are advised.
and change of turkeys to chicken
grounds, and vice versa. Destroy the
manure from infected fowls.
Among the remedies advised is pow
dred areca nut, 2 to 8 grains;. liquid
extract Of male fern; turpentine, etc.
Experiments with turpentine show
that one-half an ounce is the maximum
dose for full-grown chicken; to 5
teaspoonfuls is the safe rule, according
to size of chicken.

ture, Washington, D. C.

Cause o, Oversalted Butter.

The habit of oversalting butter
comes from neglect to properly work
it. If all the milk were got out of the
butter, a very little salt would suffice
to keep it sweet. It is the fermentation
of casein in the butter rather than the
fat itself shat makes butter rancid,
The popular taste requires much less
salt on butter than it used to do. One
reason for this probably is that but
ter eaters have found out that the very
salty taste means an attempt to cover
up defects in the butter, just as highly
sailed and spiced meats are open to
the suspicion that they have been mede

"Yes-but I have another thought
there ought to be a scythe or sickle or
something that will cut, somewhere in
this barn, and if I'm foot free, perhaps
I can find it. What's that?' This last
in whisper. Both of them held their
breath. There certainly was a fumbling
and scratching at the door; but, before
their overweight fancy could define
the flash of fear which it brought, a ia
miliar little yapping bark told them
that Frisk had returned.
Eyes, Frisk; good fellow!" called
Ellen. 1--WE must keep him here, Louise.
for if he goes back to mother without
us she will be sure something has hap

The little dog had anticipated her
thought, and even as she spoke came
tumbling into the Manager, and in an
other moment was trotting anxiously
back and forth from Ellen to Louise,
from Louise to Ellen, showing as plain
ly as dog could his realization that
things were not at all as they should be.

the doctor and some medicine"
Mrs. Raleigh hesitated. They were in
the midst of large strawberry growing
region, and great many Indians al.
ways came from the neighboring reser.
vations for the picking camping in any
open land which they could find; and
although the season was nealy over, q
few Of them still fingered.
"This is such a simple, law-abiding
neighborhood," she said, that should
be willing, if it were not for the Indians
they are very harmless, and you
wouldn't have to go near any of the
camps-I think l will risk it. Take
Frisk-he's useless as far as the Indians
are concerned, he's so little, and so
afraid of them himself, but you'll feel
better if you meet anyone"
The path, so familiar by day, looked
uncertain and weird in the moonlight,
especially to Louise; and every waving
bush sent her heart into her mouth: but
Ellen's courage was contagious, and she
soon grew less nervous. When they
reached the village, they found tina: the
doctor had been called to a distant pa
tient hut his wife promised that he
should drive out as soon as he returned,
and they fastened home with the lnedi-
cine. They had accomplished half the
distance, when, in turning the corner
of Mr.. Flanders barn, they came upon a
sight which made even Ellen's heart
beat faster.
The door was open, and tall Indian

horse out, while their own pony, packed
with their camp outfit, waited near by
