Quick Curing Cheese.


The following observations anent
the procuring of a quick-curing
cheese are made in a bulletin Issued
by the Ontario agricultural college.
The bulletin, it may be explained,
was issued for the benefit of eactcry
authorities.
1. Accept nothing but pure, sweet
milk. J
2. Heat to Sc degrees and then
make rennet test.
3. Set the milk when the rennet
test is about Is seconds, or at suffic-
lent ripeness so that the curd will
dip in about two and half hours.
4. Use sufficient rennet to coagulate
the milk in about twenty minutes.
This will require from three to four
ounces of standard rennet. (Be surs
that your rennet is all right.)
B. Do no cut more than three tirnea
unless the milk is over ripe Retain
plenty OF moisture in spring curds fol
an early market. Our spring cheeses
are usually too dry and harsh.
q. Heat slowly to 90 degrees-not
above this temperature, as 1t is desir.
able to retain moisture.
T. Dip at the first appearance OF
acid. If the acid does not show on the
hot iron, use the alkali test. Do not
leave the curd in the whey more than
three hours, even If the hot iron indi-
Gates mo acid If you test with the
alkali you Will find plenty of acid at
the end of three hours, provided the
temperature is kept up to SO degrees.
The hot iron is not always reliable al
this point.
s. MIN early-as soon as the curd
becomes meaty and shows about one
inch on the hot iron
8. Hand-stir sufficiently to improve
flavor, but not enough to lose all the
moisture.
10. Salt at the rate of about two
pounds to 1000 pounds of milk, and
before the grease runs too freely. AL.
low the curds to stand longer in the
salt You will thus save butter fat
and will not be troubled with greasy"
curds. Many are sacrificing a good
| deal OF butter fat for the sake of get.
ting . CLOSE" cheese.
IL. Keep the temperature OF tho
4 curing room at about 20 degrees, and
thus hasten the curing.
/ II. Do not allow a cheese to go
4 into the curing room which 10 not
nicely finished, nor one to leave 1t un-
4 til it is at least two weeks old. Not
few are running their reputation by
i shipping curd to their customers. The
1 writer heard of case this spring
where cheese was made on Saturday
and shipped the following Tuesday.
Such = practice cannot be too strongly
condemned.
13. To sum up: In order to obtain
fat, n-eaty, quickcuring cheese which
viii be fit to eat in about a month
after making, use plenty of good rem
net; heave sufficient moisture In the
/ curd; salt lightly; keep the tempera-
ture CT the curing room up to 10 de-
4 grees, night and day; and keep the
cheese in the curing room for at least
two weeks.

When to water Plants.

Should plants be watered during sun
shine? Why not, if they need il? The
watering Of the plant should be gov
erned by its condition and surround
ings. The whole thing, in nutshell.
Is, water a plant when it does require
it, says a writer in American Garden
ing. From my own eXperien g | have
never had any bad results from water
ing flowers during sunshine, any more
than in dun weather. During sunshine
and bright weather the evaporation
from most plants is more excessive
than in duh weather; consequently
plants call for more noHrishment in
the form of water and if the plants are
growing fast, and the pots are full of
roots, ! often find IT necessary to water
them three or four times a day. Air,
~ln and light are important factors in
building up the plant, and one Is not
much use without the other. Water
containing soluble matter is absorbed
by the roots and travels through the
plant as crude sap passing upwards to
the leaves; there It forms a combina-
tion with eaTbonic acid gas, derived
from the air, then by the action of sun
and light is refined and dgested. As
the sun plays such an important part
in the dlsintegration (as it werel of the
food of the plant, | cannot see how 1t
would have any injurious effect to
water plants during sunshine; but
would look at ii as a thing essential If
the plants needed it. l always aim to
have watering done early in the morn
ing or about three or four o'clock in
the afternoon. for the simple reason
that it facilitates the work, as well as
economies the water; but as l said be-
fore, l would not scruple to water a
batch of plants during sunshine if they
needed it, and would consider l was
helping nature by doing SO.

The Farmer,s Creed.

Prof Irby of North Carolina State
College. furnishes the following to the
Progressive farmer:
We believe in small well-tilled farms;
that the soil must be fed as we'll as the
owner. so that the crops shall make
the farm and the farmer rich.
We believe in thorough drainage, In
deep plowing, and in labor saving i'm
plements.
We believe in good fences, barns
conveniently arranged, good orchards
and gardens, and plenty of home raised
hog and hominy.
We believe in raising pure bred stock
or in grading up the best to be gotten;
they equal the thoroughbreds.
We believe in growing the best va
rieties Of farm crops and saving the
choicest for seed.
We believe in fertilizing the brain
with phosphorus as well as applying 1t
to the soil.
We believe in the proper care and
application of barn-yard manure.
We believe that the best fertilizers
are of little value unless accompanied
by industry, enterprise and intelli-
gence.
We believe in rotation, diversifica-
tion and thorough cultivation of crops.
We believe that every farm should
own a good farmer and that every good
farmer will eventually own a good
farm.

THATCHER FOUND GOULTY
or Apostasy and UnchristIsn-Ltke Con.
duct.

Salt Lake City, Aug. 14.-Moses
Thatcher has been found guilty of
apostasy and unchristian-like conduct
by the authorities of Salt Lake stake,
and the findings approved by the high
counsel Mr.. Thatcher has submitted
to the decision of the tribunal The
main consideration imposed was an en-
dorsement of the manifesto promul
gated requiring counsel to be taken
before officers of the church could nc
cept nomin nations for political Offices.
4 construction was put upon the man,
ifesto which permitted Mr.. Thatcher
to endorse it without vie lding his con,
tention. 1t was his refusal to en-
dorse this measure that led TO his
deposition from an apostleship. and
led to his trial The question also
largely entered into the late sena-
torial contest which aroused much in
terest and bitterness at the time
Ihatcher's objection to the manifesto
was that it was too sweeping. As
about-every third male member of the
church is an officer under the church,
by requiring counsel before accepting
nomination for office would place
political control within the hands of
the few, should they be INSCRIPTIONS
enough to use it. Mr.. Thatcher asked
for construction, but it has never be.
fore been given. 1t has now been de-
cided, however, that it does not apply
to officers who do not give their whole
time to the service of the church This
removed Mr.. Thatcher's principal OBJ.
lection.
Other conditions were that he retract
some statements made which had their
origin in the controversy which fol-
lowed the promulgation of the mani
festo and the trouble that followed.

WILSON RETURNS.
lombard Street sharks Beat Him Out Of
100000.

Boise, Ida, Aug. l4-Hon. Benjamin
Wilson of Boise has returned from
London, after an absence in the En-
glish metropolis Of two years lie is
accompanied by J. c. Kempvance, the
widely known English mining pro
moter, who is here to assist Mr. Wilson
in unraveling the tangled skein that
envelopes the latter's extensive mining
property in Boise basin, known as the
Pioneerville placers.
Mr.. Wilson fell among thieves in
London and came near losing the val
liable property. AS it is the London
crowd that he dealt with have control
of the placers, and will retain them
until dispossessed 10y the courts. Mr..
Wilson is very reticent about the Lon
don operations, but it is stated he lost
SEQ, 900 in cold cash through the base
ness of the men with whom he was
dealing. He managed to save the
property from being completely tied
up, however, and those in a position to
know, say he will have but little trouble
in remaining in possession The amount
he is said to have been beaten out of
by the London society sharks is but
drop in the bucket as compared with
the value of his placers.
