SCHMIEhCAot.


ing Cottage Cheese.
Schmieroaso is the German name for
what is known in English as cottage
cheese aud likewise pot cheese. 1t got
the last name because the sour milk to
make it used to be heated in pot
swung over crane in the good old
times. In brief, it is the soft curd
cheese made from sour skimmilk. 1t is
found in stores where dairy products
are sold and il very good indeed when
made right and when it has rich neig
milk and some sweet cream stirred into
it. 1t is a most healthful dish, too, and
very good for hot weather, but 1t is not
fit to eat when made from bitter, moldy
old milk.
q. b. Lawson tells in The Creamery
Journal how to make it at a creamery.
In a recent issue of the New York
Produce Review | made the statement
that if the skimmilk was made into cot.
tage cheese it would be more profitable
for the creamery man and patron than
to feed the skimmilk to calves and
hogs, and offered to send receipt fol-
making it to any buttermaker who
wanted it, but have received so many
inquiries concerning it that have con,
cluded to answer them through the
dairy press, so that they all will ba an,
swered alike. To show that there is q
demand for cottage cheese, will state
that l received reply from creamery
man who has opened retail store in

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-09-20

Doubtless many people will go to
the Klondike region who know little
or nothing of mining. Fortunately
for these the Klondike mines are
placers-the most easily worked mines
of any, and requiring the least ex-
penditure. The methods of washing
out placer gold are known as "sluic-
ing" and 'panning." The former is
employed where the yield is of ordin-
ary value, while all old-timers prefer
the latter in rich ground.
In sluicing the dirt is shoveled into
the sluice box, through which water is
rapidly running. The box is of vary
ing length, and has holes bored in the
bottom. These holes are filed with
quicksilver; the dirt, gravel and small
powders are washed over the quick
silver, but the gold adheres to it.
When a miner ''cleans up" sometimes
every night, sometimes once a week,
the water is turned off and the sluice
box boles are cleaned out.
In panning, the dirt is put into a
gold pan-about the size of small
dish pan. This pan is made of cop
per. The miner squats beside stream,
dips water into the pan, oscillates it
with a motion that can only be ac-
quired by experience, and gradually
sloughs out the water, dirt, gravel,
etc, retaining the gold in the pan.
Gold being the heaviest substance it
is of course the easiest to retain in the
pan. If it be in the shape of nuggets,
the miner picks them out of the pan
with his fingers; if the gold be in
small particles, fine gold or "four"
gold, he dries the pan in the sun and
carefully brushes the deposit into a
piece of buckskin or other material
used for carrying the precious metal
A pick, shovel, gold pan, water,
and, of course, some gold are the only
essentials Of placer mining.
The gold taken out of the Klondiie
placers, so far, has been coarse, or in
good-sized nuggets.
Machinery is only necessary in
placer mining where large areas of
ground that yields only moderately
are worked, and then only for by,
draulic power in washing down the
] dirt
