South American papers say that the
Indian uprising in Peru has been quelled.
The government sent Col. Parra, an eX'
perienced Indian fighter, against Jacobo,
with a good force of infantry, cavalry,
and one or two gatling guns In small
parties the soldiers penetrated into the
mountains in pursuit of the savages,
whom they encountered in several camps.
Battle was given by the Indians, with the
result that the gatlings so depleted the
rebel ranks that old Jacobo. their chief.

braves. Col. PARA united his command
In such a position as to rake the camp,
and thus, practically, the uprising was

Kentucky's Governor Calls Out the
State Militia.

Governor Bradley has had several
companies of the Second Regiment of the
State practically under arms for forty
eight hours, owing to the fear that an at
tempt would be made to lynch Johnson
Howe, the negro held at Paris for the
murder of Policeman Charles Lacey at
Cynthiana. The Governor is supposed
to call out the militia only at the request
of the sheriff, but there have been so
many lynchings recently and the sheriffs
have been so inactive that Governor
Bradley prepared to act on his own re-
sponsibility.

Cause for Winding Up.
The Atlas National Bank of Chicago
has gone into voluntary liquidation, and
on Monday morning began paying de-
postors. Though the Chicago Clearing
House stood behind every dollar that the
bank owed, many thousands Of dollars
were carried from the bank vaults. 1t is
not very long ago that the Atlas made a
very unsatisfactory report of its affairs,
and was taken sharply to task by Comp
troller Eckels, who insisted that reforms
be made in the management. a suEse-
uuent report was more satisfactory, but
it was evident that the improvement had
been brought about only by the most des-
perate effort. Comptroller Eckels ex-
presses the opinion that the voluntary
liquidation of the bank will at once and
permanently clear Chicago's clouded
financial atmosphere.

Boston Wool Market.
PULLED M SECURE
Current Comment.

MILL FEED.-R Receipts, All tons. The
market continues quiet, with prices to ship
quoted steady.
HAY.-The hay market shows no material
change, supplies OF common and medium
grades being large, and the tone is weak.
CHEEsK.-Receipts for export, 2,316 boxes.
Trade has been quiet for the past week and
a further slight reduction has been made in
prices.
CoRN.-Trade is limited, but prices hold
steady on about the same basis OF price as a
week ago. Buyers are only meeting press
ing needs.
OATS. - There has been no material
change to note in the market the past week,
the demand for supplies ruling quiet with
prices steady.
FLoUR.-There is a quiet business doing
from time to time as buyers are in need of
supplies, but no one is disposed to operate
ahead to any extent. The market has ruled
slow, but a frmer tone for spring patents is
noted at the close.
EGGs.-There has been no improvement
in the general condition of the market since
our last weekly report. Receipts continue
liberal, but contain very few re. lily choice
fresh eggs. Most everything is badly
heated. Buyers are looking for fine stock,
but it is hard to find outside OF cold storage.
WooL.-Sales for the week, 10000 o
pounds. The market is somewhat q~uieter.
II arc VI ldi SCI Uul lu6y are swollen by
a few big blocks, and no longer represent
the general speculative demand recently SO
rife. Prices continue, however, to climb
upward, and the sales would unquestion-
ably have been much larger were holders
willing to sell on to-day's market. Not
only in Boston, but all over the country,
wool is being held for an advance. The
feeling is justified absolutely.
~LUMBER.-One of the most noticeable
features about the present market is the
large receipts of Eastern lumber at this
port. Not alone are the Maine mills ship
ping here in unusual quantities, but the
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick mills as
well. The latter are shipping here to get
in before the new duty is effected. This of
course keeps the prices down quite low.
Ordinary cargo stocks have sold down to
S12, while poor grades have sold the lowest
this season. The car mills under the cir
c~umstances are not doing much and are SELL
ing fully as low as a week ago.
BUTTER Receipts nave not fallen off
very much as yet, but so large a proportion
OF the arrivals are effected by heat that the
supply OF strictly fine is considerably lighter
than a week ago. The market has ruled
firm for strictly extra, but has been dull
and easy for off grades, and the stock that
has accumulated during the past week in
clude quite a number of creameries that
not show any marked change. but are ak
ing a little wider range. Strictly extra
Vermont and New Hampshire creamery has
any York State creamery offering.

Making Family Cheese.

In making cheese by the dairymen
at home, where they do not have a vat
with a heating arrangement underneath,
the milk can be heated in a tin heater
set in a kettle, in which there is a
quantity of water. A dairy kettle is
the best, that is, a kettle and stove
combined. If you do not have this,
you can use a cauldron kettle, set in an
arch, if there is draft enough so that it
will not smoke, as the smoke would
faint the milk; then by filing the tin
heater with milk, and warming it up to
about 100 fahrenheit, and turning it in
the vat and filing it up again and heat
ing 1t, and continuing to do 80 until the
temperature of the milk in the vat is $50
fahrenheit, it could all be warmed.
Then add rennet extract, reduced with
n quart of Geld water, at the rate of
three ounce to 1000 pounds of milk,
thoroughly stirred, so that it will be
evenly distributed through the whole
mass of milk, says George A. Smith,
former cheese instructor of New York,
in Farm Journal.
When the curd is hard enough so
that it will cleave from the side Of the
vat when pressed away by laying the
back of the hand upon it., cut it using
the perpendicular knife and cut as even
as possible. Then stir it until the whey
begins to separate quite freely. Then
dip off whey, and fill the tin heater,
and warm up to about 1902 fahrenheit,
and turn in the vat, and continue to do
so, untilthe temperature is brought up to
$50 fahrenheit, at which point it should
be kept until the curd becomes firm,
and when squeezed up in the hand, il
will fall apart readily, and by taking
and squeezing the moisture out of it,
and touching it to a hot iron, it will
draw out fine threads about one.hali
inch in length.
Then draw off all the whey, and stii
the curd until the whey is thoroughly
drained out of it, and then stir in sal
at the rate of two pounds of salt to
1000 pounds of milk. Pile up the cure
on the side of the vat, and cover W
with a cloth, and let it remain abou'
one hour, stirring it up occasionally
then put to press, and press lightly a
first.
In twenty-four hours, the cheese MAJ
be taken out, and a muslin bandage pu
about it. The cheese should be kept il
a cool room, and be turned, and CREASED
and rubbed every day.

AGRICULTURAL
The Rush of Work.

Most farmers have to rush things
from the beginning of sowing and
planting till the end of the grain har-
vest. Hay ing is especially a time of
rushing things, especially if there is a
good deal of hay to cut. The grass
must be cut at the right time or it will
be of poor quality. Many kinds of
farm work must be done on time or
great loss must result. 1t is always
better to keep a little ahead of farm
work than to let it get behind and drive
awful bad master, relentless, Implying,
cruel. But this season very many far
mers have been kept back by the wet
weather, and have had a hard struggle
to keep anywhere near up with their
work. 1t is to be hoped that after hay
ing, or at least after the grain harvest
this state of things will end, and the
farmers get a much-needed time to
rest a little, perhaps take a vacation.
W. earnestly urge all our farm readers
to get a few days away from home, if
possible. Especially should the wife
and mother go away for at least a brief
change of scene. Too many farmers
DO not realize that the rush of work
presses upon the women folks of the
farm from n years end to another
with little intermission. How many
hours the wife has to work hard when
the husband is riding or talking, or do
ing hat which really is a change and q
rest for him. 1t seems to grow more
difficult to find indoor help on the farm.
So many women and girls are doing
the work which was formerly done by
mon and boys, 80 many new occupa'
tons are opening up to women, sc
many dislike homework, so many think
it to be beneath them, that it is almost
impossible to get a girl to help a far
mer's wife. And 30 the work presses
on the wife and mother day after day
and many farmers see no help for it
But the wife must have rest or breal
down, and 80 we urge every one to see
that the wife has a vacation. Get alons
some way for at least a week withou'
her. Let her go to some quiet place
somewhere, anywhere to get real res
and recreation. 1t may add years t.
her life. Think of this, plan for it, d.
it, and you will never be sorry.

The Necessity of knowledge, Care and
Conscience.

In the handling of milk, there are
three prime requisites, which 90 q great
ways to make the milk valuable. All
three belong, not to the milk, but to
the milkman. They are: (1) A knowl-
edge of right milk conditions. (2) A
willingness to bestow the proper care
on the milk. (3) A conscience. To
show how important it is to the milk
consumer, that the milk producer
should possess these three qualifca-
tons, we will state that in a little town
in Ohio there has recently been a score
or more of deaths, from typhoid fever,
all on the milk route of one man, who
watered his cows, and washed his milk
vessels from a well, that ON investiga-
ton, proved to be rank with typhus
germs.
Now, had that man had the necessa-
ny knowledge of right milk conditions,
or rather of the condition of his we'll
water, had he put intelligence on these
questions, in place of ignorance, it
would have saved a score of lives.
Surprising that he had the requisite
knowledge, he must have been lacking
in care and conscience.
Every man who produces milk,
whether for a factory, creamery, or for
family consumption, has the lives of
his fellowmen in his keeping. There
is no fluid, used as a food, that can be
made more dangerous to human life
than milk, when produced by a man
who is either ignorant, careless, or
without good conscience. - Hoard's
Dairyman.
