TIMELY DAIRY HINTS.

Sweet corn, drilled or sown broadcast

The mixer who dips his fingers in the
milk pail is filthy. There never was a
finger clean enough to warrant it being
stuck in a pail of milk
Testing cows is good. desirable
thing to do But testing the mixer is
quite as important. A poor mixer will
make an improbable COW.
Never attempt to prevent d kicking
COW from kicking if the mixer is loud,

Is clover hay capable of spontaneous
omhustion ? asks Il correspondent. The
evidence would seem to indicate that it
is. We have no experience to confirm it,

The Right Size of Calves.

We can well remember when probably
most farmers were guided by appear
ance and size in selecting the calves that
it was worth while to grow. "A fine,
healthy calf was often the farmers
first exclamation when he visited the
coward or stable. I'VE must raise it, -
he would add when he came to the house
to tell the good news. Yet even in those
days the too thrifty calf was very likely
to develop beef tendencies, and after
keeping long enough to test it's worth
lessness for dairying, it would be turn ed
ever to the butcher. Since Jerseys and
Guernseys have become common, the
small calf is not despised as worthless,
as it used to be-. A small head and
rather thin neck are more apt to be the
distinctive marks of a good COW. The
size Of the calf depends On that of the
dam and the sire she was mated with

MAKING FAMILY CHEESE.
Not q Hard Thing to Do,, Provided
You Know How to Go About 1t
I'm the RtHht Way

In making cheese by the dairyman:
at home, where. one does not have a
vat with heating arrangement under
Meath, the milk can be heated in tin
heater set in a kettle in which there is
a quantity Of water, A dairy kettle is
the best; that is, a kettle and stove
combined. H you do not have this you
can use a cauldron kettle set in an arch,
if there is draft enough so that it will
not smoke, as the smoke would faint
the milk; then, by filing the tin heater
with milk and warming it up to about
100 degrees Fahrenheit and turning it
up again and heating it, and contiuu-
ing to do SO until the temperature Of
the milk in the vat is &c degrees Fahren-
heit, it would all be warmed.
Then add reunet extract. reduced
with one. quart Of cold water, at the rate
OF three ounces to 1000 pounds of
milk, thoroughly stirred, SO that it will
be evenly distributed through the whole
mass of milk, says George Smith, for
mer cheese Instructor Of New York.
When the curd is hard enough so that
it will leave the side of the vat when
pressed away by laying the back of the
hand upon it, cut it, using the per-
pendicular knife, and cut as even as DOS
sible- Then stir it until whey begins
to separate quite freely.
Then dip off the whey and I'll the
tin heater and warm up to about 100
degree Fahrenheit and turn in the vat,
and continue to do SO until the tenn
perature is brought up to 90 degrees
Fahrenheit, at which point it should
be kept until the curd becomes firm.
and when squeezed up in the hand it
will fall apart readily, and by taking
and squeezing the moisture out of il
and touching it with 4 hot iron, it will
draw out fine threads about one-hali
an inch in length. Then draw off the
whey and stir the curd until the whey
is thoroughly drained out of it. and then
stir in salt at the rate of two pounds
of salt to 1000: pounds of milk. Pile ur
the curd on the side Of the vat and cover
up with a cloth and let it remain about
an hour stirring it occasionally. Then
put to press. and press it lightly at first
In 24 hours the cheese may be taker

it. The cheese should be kept in a
cool room and be turned, creased anG

Dear Sir: We have Just returned from
the West, and we're exceedingly we'll pleased
with the country. We are going back tc
take up our homesteads in early spring
We received $500 per month and board
working for farmers, and the board was
the best we ever had-the beef and mutton
especially were excellent. The fine flavor is
owing to the fine grasses which the cattle
and sheep feed upon. The people are very
hospitable and treat their hired help with
much kindness.
The grain is much heavier than here
wheat being 81 lbs. to the bushel, oats 4e
lbs. and barley often IS lbs.
Any man with a good team and money
enough to buy provisions and seed for six
months can become rich there in five years
Many people who arrived there five years
ago with little or nothing are we'll off now
One man [ met held his wheat from last
year and was offered 5000 for this years
crop and what he had held over from last
year, and is holding it at sl.00 per bushel
We are going back in the spring to work fol-
this same farmer until seeding, after which
we will homestead between seeding and
harvest. We think we will settle on the
Manitoba & Northwestern R. R.
You can refer anyone to us for this part
of the country while we are here and WE
will cheerfully answer any questions which
anyone may wish to ask Yours truly

Cause4 OF ROpy MIX

Ropy milk is now believed to be
caused by bacteria that fall into the
pail at milking time. These destructive
microbes are lodged in the hair and
scurf skin OF the COW. They sometimes
get, upon the hands and clothing of a
mixer who is not overclean, and thence
into the milk. The remedy? It is to
be extra clean about the milk and the
cow Before milking each time brush
the cows teats and udder with a stiff
brush and see that the mixers clothing
and hands are immaculate. In winter,
when WOODEN clothing must be. worn
in the COW stable and milkroom. wear

Dear Sir: We are pleased to state to you

and Mr.. Keller had represented it to be.
It Ia in fact an ideal location for mixed

and as the farmers were all busy at thresh-
ing, we had an excellent chance to see its
productive quality, which cannot be sur
passed anywhere. The cattle could not be
steers equal to three-year-olds raised in
most places, and these, as all others are
about Alameda, were fed on native hay in
winter and herded in summer. As we had
previous to this visited the Northwestern
States in behalf Of d large number of farm.
ers, to locate suitable land for mixed farm.
ing, we are now in position to say that
the Alameda district Of Western Canada
surpasses them all. The country is equal to
that about Thuringen in Germany. We
were rather skeptic before starting, and our
intention was to settle in spring, if we were
suited, but we have now decided to move

USE SUBMARINE BOAT.
Inventor Holland Offers to Clear
Santiago Channel OF Mines
NIX and Blow Up Cervera.

New York, May 27.-The Press saws:
]. j. Holland, builder of the Holland
submarine boat, has gone to Washington
for the purpose of making an offer to the
government which if accepted, perhaps
will solve the problem Of how to destroy
Cervera's fleet. Mr.. Holland will submit
his proposition to the secretary of the
navy Mt once. He is willing to under
take to sail his submarine boat into the
channel of the narrow entrance to San
tiago harbor, destroy the mines planted
there and. If necessary, proceed into the
harbor and deal few blows at Cervera's
vessels. ="
Mr.. Holland declares that his plan to
DO this is entirely feasible. The boat is
IN shape and ready for the work and he
VIII agree, if the secretary of the navy
THINKS favorahly Of his proposal, to OBJ
tam crew of volunteers for the work.
All that he will ask of the authorities is
transportation for his vessel and men to
CUBA. Once there he agrees to do the
rest: Mr.: Holland proposes to take his
boat to Santiago, fitting her out and
settlng everything in readiness under the
protection of Commodore Schleys
squadron. Then, when the opportunity
offers, probably just at dawn, the Hol-
lana Will start on its mission. Before it
comes within sight of the Notifications
which frown on both sides Of the en-.
trance it will sink beneath the surface
OF the water and steal quietly toward the
main channel.
When this is reached it will reconnoi-
ter to get the layout of the mine fields
ana then withdrawing to safe distance
discharge one or more of it's submarine
torpedoes among the mines. This is the
regular process known as countermining,
which is similarly conducted, but by
vessel above the water which lays along
side the harbor mines another series,
which when exploded opens up the whole
channel Mr.. Holland believes that by
this method the channel into Santiago
could be opened without great difficulty.
He Is prepared, if necessary, after this
TASK mas been accomplished to proceed
in his craft underneath the water into
the harbor and attempt to blow up one
or more of Cervera's battleships. If the
navy department has not another plan
for dlsposlng of Cervera. Mr.. Hollands
scheme may be considered.
