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

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 fertillzIng the brain
with phosphorus as we'll as applying It
to the soil.
We believe in the proper care and
application Of barn-yard manure.
We believe that the best fertiliserr
are Of little value unless accompanied

We believe In rotation. diversified

We believe that every farm should

Quick Cu-ins Cheese.


The following observations anent
the procuring Of Quick-curlng
cheese are made In bulletin issued
by the Ontario agricultural college.
The bulletin, 1t may be explained,
was issued for the benefit Of eeactrry
authorities.
l. Accept nothing but pure. sweet
milk.
2. Heat to Sc degrees and then
make rennet test.
8. Set the milk when the rennet
test is about 1S seconds, or at SUMO
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.)
5. 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 cheesef
are usually too dry and harsh.
8. Heat slowly to 96 degrees-not
above this temperature. as 1t is desir.
able to retain moisture.
z. Dip at the first appearance OF
acid. II 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 II the hot iron indi.
Gates mo acid" II you test with the
alkali you will find plenty Of acid al
the end Of three hours, provided the
temperature Is kept up to 98 degrees.
The hot iron is not always reliable al
this point.
8. Mill early-as soon as the curd
becomes meaty and shows about one
inch on the hot iron.
3. 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 good
deal Of butter fat for the sake Of get.
ting CLOSE" cheese.
II. Keep the temperature of the
curing room at about 70 degrees, and
thus hasten the curing.
u. Do not allow cheese to go
into the curing room which is not
nicely finished. nor one to leave 1t un-
til 1t Is at least two weeks old. Not
few are running their reputation by
shipping curd to their customers. The
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, meaty. quick-curing cheese which
will be At to eat In ABOUT a month
after making. use plenty Of good rem
net; leave sufiicient moisture in the
curd: salt lightly; keep the tempera-
ture of the curing room up to 20 de-
grees. night and day; and keep the
cheese In the curing room for at least
two weeks.
