TRYING TO INVENT CHEESE.

rhore Arc Only Four Brands and Another
Is Needed.
When Colorado manufactures cheese
she manufactures the most palatable
and most universal of all foods. says
the Times, of Denver She also manu-
features that which costs her COM
paratilely little, and is salable for
comparatively much. That is to say,
1t is not dil.icult nor is it expensive to
grow and feed good mich cows in this
State-in almost any part of this State
while between Iowa and California
no State has any special capacity for
exceeding Colorado, either in the
amount of milk that can be turned in
TO whey and cheese or in facilities for
reaching a big market.
AS matter of fact, there are only
four brands of cheese in the world that
constitute regular adjunct to the
table of all classes of consumers. These
are the Stilton cheese of England, the
Exam cheese of holland, the Schweit-
zerkase of Switzerland and the Her.
klmer of New York The Stilton
cheese is said to derive it's distinguish
ing qualities from the pasturage OF the
stock; the Edam gets it's qualities
from the manner of manufacture; the
Swiss from the herbs used in the COM
position, and the Herkimer from both
the pasturage and the herbs
-Four brands of cheese in an entire
world, however is a parsimonious
number to have achieved distinction.
There is plenty of room for another
brand. And Colorado has ample chance
to occupy this room. Wisconsin and
Iowa are struggling for it, but neither
Wisconsin nor Iowa have the Colorado
grasses, the Colorado flowers. the
Colorado opportunities for aging and
flavoring. Therefore, why should not
a Colorado cheese. a Pixies Peak
cheese. or Douglas county cheese, a
Ute cheese. or some such romencla-
tured article, gradually work itself in
to tho lists with St,lton and Edam and
Schweitzerkase and Herkimer?

Farmers and dairymen in New
Jersey may experience new form of
competition from long distances in the
sale OF milk in nearby cities by pro-
cess now in successful use by the milk
dealers in Denmark and Sweden. The
milk is collected at a central station
from farms within certain radius.
1t is then Pasteurized and frozen. Tho
blocks of the frozen milk are placed in
stout wooden casks holding about
double the volume of the blocks. and
the extra place is filled with ste,llizeG
milk, after which the casks are her
metically sealed. The milk is thus
safely transported as far as England,
ARD il is preserved for about twenty
da%.S. By this process milk from the
middle west can he set down iii Kew

liquor and smoking cigarettes are not
permitted. Perhaps the boy has his
greatest trials when he is on the train
ing ships, where he is still treated as
a boy, though he may be able to pull
an oar, reef a sail or receive mes
sage with flags as we'll as his teacher.
Every one Of our vessels has in her
complement certain number of ap-
prentices of the first or second class,
received from the training ships.
Sometimes the number allowed is ex-
ceeded, as was the case on the crack
cruiser Brooklyn some time ago,
where instead of the forty allowed,
over sixty are needed to fiji the short
age of men. Some of these boys are
only sixteen years of age, but do a
mans work and are proud of it,
1t Will interest the people through
out our land to know that while the
powerful fleet OF our North Atlantic
squadron was manoeuvring in such
splendid manner on the Southern drill
ground. behind every one of the for
midable guns there stood q graduate
of the apprentice system-that the
shot and shell falling with such well
directed aim and precision at the tar
gets had been aimed by these boys and
young men.
WCi'C yCdlo ago TIE government,
recognizing the Importance of having
an efficient corps of well trained men
on hand to handle the modern appli-
ances on board ship, established spe-
cial training schols at Newport. r. l.,
and Washington, d. c.. The vacan-
cies in these schools are, except in
rare cases, reserved for the ex-appren-
tees. At these places the seaman be-
comes proficient in the use of modern
guns, the manufacturing and prepara-
ton OF explosives and managing of
torpedoes. 1t would appear almost in
credible that a man can acquire a
practical knowledge of several subjects
In the short space of time allowed at
these training places. On all our
ships the electric turret gear, the ever
running dynamOs, the installation of
wires and lights, the torpedoes, and
the many other delicate contrivances
are managed by men who have spent a
year or more in the seamen gunner
class. Besides these varied and useful
accomplishments, they can bend a tom
sail or mend the rigging on a sailing
ship; they car go down in a diving
suit to examine damages to the bottom
or recover lost anchor; they are able
to cook or wash on board a torpedo
boat. If necessary. and also keep an ac-
count OF the stores in satisfactory
manner. In fact. The seaman gunner
is what Il new ship needs more than
the old type Of sailor man.
All apprentices upon discharge dc
not go to the gunnery schools. as the
accommodation there is too small for
so many. Some prefer To re-enlist
with the gun force. and before the end
OF the first year the boy with his first
enlistment stripe, if he has shown the
proper pluck and zeal performs the
duty and receives the pay OF petty

SPLITTING A VOTE WINNER.
How Governor Leedy's Long Range Won
Him Support.

Governo John w. Leedy, Of Kansas,
when boy, lost a tooth in the front of
his mouth, and, boylike, he practised
splitting through the vacancy in such a
scientific manner that he was the envy
of all the boys in the neighborhood.
Last year he went down to Wichita
during his campaign and among
others who went to hear him was an
influential and very liberal Republi-
can named Garst
After the meeting was over some
body asked Garst what he thought of
it. Garst made the surprising an
nouncement that he would vote for
him.
"Why?" asked his friend?
Because" said Garst, "a man that
can spit like he does can't help being
good fellow. l used to spit like Chat
myself when l was lad"
The next day Garst took off his coat
and went to work for Mr.. Leedy, and
he converted more Republicans than
any other man.
a Kansas City Times correspondent
told Mr. Leedy how his expectorating
science got him the votes referred to.
1t was funny" said the Governor,
how l lost that tooth, but l never
thought the accident would help to
make HE Governor. 1t wasn't so fun

The summary Of the report of DR.
John Guiteras, the yellow fever expert,
to Surgeon General Wyman, of the Ma.
rine Hospital service, on the results of
his investigation during the recent cpl
demic in the South, which has lust been
sent out from Washington, shows that
the disease was probably brought to this
country from Cuba, where the conditions
existing in the early part of the summer
led those familiar with the origin and
spread of the scourge to expect that 1t
would extend from the island to the
United states. In the diagnosis of the
disease DR.. Guiteras does not attach the
same i'm portance to the microscope, except
IN the hands of experts, that the MAORI
ty of physicians In the South ascribe to
this instrument; as, according to present
methods, 1T is impossible to distinguish
In life between drop of yellow fever

During the present outbreak of yellow
fever, it was accompanied by mild epi-
demic fever, which in most cases was
dengue, and which seemed TO facilitate
the spread of the scourge. All the evil
dence seemed to show, however, at an
attack of dengue did not protect from
yellow fever, and that the former must
be looked upon as an entirely distinct dis
ease. The cause of n yellow fever cpl
demic, he thinks, is the introduction INTO
community of cases that are not sus-
pected to be the disease, which occurs
most frequently in connection with COL
ored people, who usually have the fever
in mild form; hence the importance of
the diagnosis of the first case of yellow
fever in "a community Is strongly insisted
upon.
AS Thanksgiving day draws nearer and
the occurrence of frosts in the South be-
comes more frequent, business increases
and the fear of che disease is proportions
ately diminished. In the history of this
country the Affections and calamities of
this section seem to have been greater
than in the other sections, but as it is a
long lane that does rot turn, it is be-
lieved that the South, after being purified
by her ordeals and sufferings will come
to prosperity and happiness in full con-
dition to enjoy these blessings.

The Profit in Dairy ing.

1t requires about $50 pounds OF but

the amount produced above the pro-
portion necessary TO pay the expense.
A COW that produces $50 pounds o. but
ter a year will give four times the
profit that will be derived from COW
predicting 200 pounds of butter per
year, as the first $50 pounds must be

Yes, Scrofula, ifanything, may be called

scourge Of the world - offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one suro
way out, and that is to eliminate tho
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, 30 far as wo
know, has almost invariably succeeded =
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
1cine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
