facts are being brought cut. among
which is the action of ferments upon
the curing and quality of the cheese.
At the cheese makers convention. ID
Wisconsin, Frof. Russell had some
thing to say in opposition to the
French views upon bacterial action.
He prefaced his remarks by saying
that usually the trouble lay In the
carelessness Of the patrons In caring
for the milk, a carelessness which IN
some cases became criminal. Yet the
patrons, they should be posted, 50 as
to Instruct these in the care of the
milk, and give a good example by
neatness in the factory. He believed
the whey-vat was responsible for more
trouble than anything else. and con
demned the dirty one in strong terms.
Bacteria were the best allies which the
maker had, and it was only the obnox-
ious ones which should be fought. He
showed a chart which illustrated the
number of bacteria in cheese when five
days old as being about four to f1Ve
millions in grain, increasing rapidly in
the next eight days to eighty or ninety
millions, and then increasing in the
next twenty-three days to eighteen
millions, and then gradually diminish
ing until 1877 days old, when only a few
hundred thousand are left. Another
chart showed where milk had four
million lactic-acid-producing bacteria,
700 900 digesting or pepIonizing bac-
terra, and about $50, 900 which produce
gas. Also how a ~13-days-old cheese
had CT 1900, 900 lactic-aci1 bacteria
while the gas-producing ones remained
as original and the digesting ones were
reduced. When the cheese was twen-
ty-four days old the lactic-acid bac-
terra were GO, 270, 900, while the gas and
dlgesting were reduced. When the
cheese was thirty-six days old the lac
tic-acid bacteria were reduced to 49,
100000, and the gas and digesting ones
were still more reduced. At fifty-two
days the lactic-acid bacteria were on
ly 11,4T3. 900, and the others nearly dis
appeared, and at seventy-four days on
ly 6,6S2, 900 lactic-acid bacteria remain
ed. Hence the lactic-acid bacteria is
the true ally of the maker.

During Lord Rosebery' term as
foreign secretary in Mr.. Gladstone's
last Standardization. he was often an,
noyed by an elderly female WHO paid
him daily visits to get mis- opinion or
matters Of no Importance to him what
ever. Finally, becoming exasperated
at the woman, he gave the d%oorkeep-
circumstances. However, not a day
passed that she did not make an eff
fort to gain a hearing, and on an unusu-
ally late visit happened to meet the
secretary just as he was about to en-
ter his carriage.
"Lera R~osebefy," said she, breath
lessly, II must see YOU On q most inn
portant subject, and at cnce."
Every we'll; madam" said the ur-
bane secretary Of state, holding open
the door of the vehicle for her, Il beg
of you to get in"
Delighted to be invited to drive with
so important a parsonage, the talka-
tive lady jumped into the carriage
Rosebery gently closing the door on
her, and before she could cxpostulate
she heard him saying to the coach
man:
Take the lady wherever she wishe.
to go, James, and then home.'
Looking out of the window, the now
irate occupant saw her late victim
stepping into a cab.-Harper's .Rount

main tall, two being preferable, ara
black edged with white. The Lighs
Brahma is a valuable bird for the
farm. They have always been made
to pay for their keep and have seldom
been set aside by any who have bred
them. They are the largest OF domes-
tic poultry and do as we'll In conine-
ment In small runs as on free range.
AS layers they will !. average from
twelve to thirteen dozen Of eggs q
year, n lay exceptionally we'll In
winter. Their eggs are large, about
Z to a pound. of a rich brown color
and excellent favor. For table put-v
poses they are good; they do not ma
ture as early as do the varieties OF
the American class, yet they I
hardy, and can be raised with as much
ease as n of the earlier maturing
varieties. AS sitters and mothers
they are fair.
h Dark Brahma is not SO popular
as the Light-the difficulty being in
breeding them true to feather. Their
d~ciicately marked plumage is x
tremely pretty when bred to standard
requirements, but If not so bred 1t be-
comes most ~disagrceable and unsatis-
factory to the breeder. The head and
neck of a Dark Brahma male are sim.
liar to those Of the Light, the head
being white and the hackle rather
more striped. The back is nearly
white, a little black appearing here
and there. The black should FREEDOM.
mate between the shoulders, but ia
nearly hidden by the hackle flowing
over it. The saddle feathers are, like
the hackle, silvery white. striped with
black, which should be distinct. AS
the feathers approach the tail the
stripes become broader till they merge
into the tail coverts, which are rich,
glossy green black, with a margin OF
facing of white. The tail is pure
black, with green gloss. The wing
coverts are black, forming a distinct
black bar across the middle of the
wings, while the ends of the second
aries have a large black spot on the
end, making the top edges of the wing
appear almost black. The remainder
of the ~secondaries are white on the
lower half and black on the upper.
The flights are all black, except a mar
row fringe of white on the lower edge
The breast is black; the thighs and
fluff either black, or black very slight

All plantation life is to a considera-
BILE extent patriarchal, except that, in
stead of women being subordinated to
masculine pleasure and ACKNOWLEDGMENT
as with the patriarchs of old, they are
set On a pedestal and practically wor-
shipped, says L%ippineott's. 1t makes
little difference to this modern patri-
arch of the e6tt6n belt If his cuffs are
frayed and his coat rusty, SO long as
his wife and daughters wear suits to
church that are as stylish as his crops
can pay for and their village dress
maker can devise. 1t is a feature Of
the day in the south, as we'll as else
Where, that women are being better ed
ueated thar men. In the northern
states of the Union this higher culture
Is tending mahifest1y tt celibacy, but
IN rural localities through the south the
girls come back from academies and
colleges and accept the yoting men who
stayed at home to work the plantations,
the same ones they would nave married
had they not gone away for the edu-
cation the parents sacrificed so much to
bestow. They know what splendid ma
terial these men are made of, and in
the attraction between the eternal
womanly and the eternal manly the
question Of book learning counts for
little. To lead a patriarcha1 life with
out a patriarch would be dull indeed;
and it must be said that 1t requires
courage of a superior order to remain
single in a situation which would Of
fer 1ittle aim and stimulus outside of
wifehood and maternity after youth
has waned. For this reason youth Is
considered the high prize, the valuable
capital and stock in trade. The wom-
en- fade no earlier than their northern
sisters; bit; owing to an inherited hab-
it of thought, the LABEL Of decay Is re-
specially fastened on them by the pop
ular mind while they are still in their
prime, and in the northern and eastern
states would be accounted capable of
all things, even of marrying well.

WORTH QUOTING.

The average weight of a mans skel-
eton is fourteen pounds.
All the human beings hat ever lived
could find standing room in Pennsyl-
vania.
1t is estimated that the death rate Of
the world is sixty-seven a minute, and
the birth rate seventy a minute.
If ali the men, women and children
in the United States were standing in
single file they would not reach half
way round the world.
Tie prison population of India, large
as it is, is only SO per 100, 900 inhab-
itants, or less han half the proportion
that prevails in Great Britain.
On a globe thirty miles in circum-
| ference it would take the strongest mi
croscope to find a man were he re-
dueed ptopcrtionate1y.
In 1896 exact statistics of visitors to
Paris were kept by the police, to whom
proprietors of hotels and boarding
houses had to make returns. These
statistics were: English, 43,373; Amer
leans, 42.317; Germans, 1924.
A naturalist has pointed out the rea-
son fer trees growing in their irregu-
lar shape. Their "anyhowness," If the
word may be used, serves a most i'm
portant purpose. When a gale is blow
ing the branches will be seen to sway
in all directions, and their movements
tend to balance the tree. Did they all
sway in the same direction the tree
would be %uprooted and broken off.
The latest estimate of the popula-
ton of the globe has been made by M,
d. Amfreville, who places it at 1,479,-
729, 900. The number of inhabitants to
the SQUARE mile in Asia is 4S; in Afri-
ca, Is; in America, S; in Oceanica and
the po.ar regions, 8; in Australia. l.
The yearly increase of the population
OF the earth is about 5 to every 1000
At this rate the population doubles ev'
cry 139 years.
