Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
CHEEsE MAKING.
81. Souring curd in the whey is often
a risky and disastrous business. If the
acid goes too far, it cuts the fine fats
and dissolves and washes out the phos
phate, which is necessary to digestion
and nutrition; and thus the cheese is
rendered both indigestible and innutri-
tioua. 1t makes a hard cheese, easy to
handle, and makes a sour, leaky cheese,
good for nothing.
90. When the curd is ready for the
press grind it, salt it, at the rate of
about % pounds to 1000 pounds of
milk, cool to 80 degrees, and put to
press. Tighten the screws of the press
slowly at first, gradually approaching
full pressure, and let the cheese re
main in the hoops as nearly "a hours
as possible.
SO. In many small factories there is
no curd milk. In such cases, as soon
as the curd is drawn, the salt may be
added aad the curd piled up as before
directed, with frequent stirring. The
salt adds in preventing packing, but
somewhat retards souring. Before
drawing the last whey, cool to 90 de-
grees, but not above 80.
"a The curing.ro0m should be we'll
ventilated, but free from drafts of air,
and be SO built that the temperature
can be kept uniform. Very rich cheese
cures best at IS degrees; average at 70;
and poorer cheese at rs degrees.
IS The curing process is both a di
gestive and a chemical one. 1t secures
a much better cheese to have both
changes go on slowly. The rennet
breaks down the curd and makes it
mellow, while fermentation and oxida
ton develop the flavor.
SO. Cheeses, when set on the ranges,
should have their exposed faces well
CREASED and rubbed with whey butter.
The next day they should be turned
and have their other faces treated in
the same way. For a week or ten days
they should be turned every day and
have their faces rubbed with the hand.
If standing in boxes, the boxes should
be turned over occasionally.
81. In weighing cheese for market,
all fractions must be thrown in to in
sure good weight. It is best to have
the buyer accept them at their weight
when shipped.
SO. The boxes should not be too dry,
as this renders them brittle, while they
draw moisture from the cheese and
u complaints of short weight.
80 Have thu boxes fit snugly, so the
cheese will not slip around, and pare
eff the edges to the level of the cheese.
Put a scaleboard at the top and bottom
of each cheese.
100. Study and observe these hints
1t will save you trouble, put money in
your pocket, and give the consumer
better dairy products.
The aboveis the last Of the one hun
dred hints on dairying by the late Col
T. D. Curtis. This and the two pre-
vious parts, all of which include 90 of
the hints, are devoted to factory cheese
making, in which branch of dRiryiDg
Col. Curtis was an expert and, as 10
other branCh35, acknowledged aU-
Ehority.

am now satisfied that such reports have

have recently tested several entire
herds with the Babcock machine and l
am very glad to lay the results before
you. The milk of one herd OF IL regis.
tered COWS, fed hay, weak sllage and a
ration of equal parts gluten meal and
wheat bran, tested an average quality
Of 8 6 per cent. fat. The milk of no
COW of this herd fell below 8 2per cent Z,
the milk of several Of the COWS tested
4 per cent. and that of one COW tested
5.4 per cent. Nearly all the COWS of
this herd we're fresh in milk at the time
of testing. The milk of another herd
of Is registered COWS tested 80 per
cent. fat. The milk of six of these COWS
tested 4 per cent. and the milk Of the
remaining IL ranged in tests from 3 to
3 8 per cen fat. This herd was fed
reported. A third herd consisted of
two year,old heifers, all fresh at time
of testing. Their milk averaged 3
per cent. fat. AS I learned that these
herds were fed gluten meal and bran
with hay and inferior silage q mean by
inferior silage such as is made from
corn not heavily eared), I confess l
was surprised at the results. Upon
such light feed I found these COWS CIV
ing milk that would make from three
aud half to six pounds of butter per
100 pounds Of milk. l am prepared to
assert without fear of successful con-
tradiction that no breed that I have
tested would make q better showing
under similar conditions. When we
bear in mind that large butter records
are made under conditions of careful
and judicious feeding we car better ap-
preciate these results. The owners of
these herds are producing milk for
New York City market and ought to
produce quantity rather than qualify
of milk.
/ will add an account Of observations
of three other herds, the COWS of which
we're not tested in detail. The herd Of
J. w. Coley, of Madison county, this
State, consists of 81 cows. The super
intendent of New Woodstock cheese
factory, informed me that this herd
averaged 16 per cent. cream. This is a
heavy per cent. for any breed. The
herd of A. E. Cole, also of Madison
county, has been tested by me several
times, that is, the milk. The lactom
eter readings have averaged 1O8 specific
gravity at a temperature of 60 degrees.
Mr.. Cole delivers his milk at a shipping
station where the milk of other breeds
and grades of COWS is also delivered.
The milk of Mr.. Coles herd tested the
best Of any delivered at that station.
The herd of MIR. s. L Hoxie, also of
Madison county, gave the same lactom
eter reading as the milk of Mr.. Coles
herd. I have found that the general
averages of lactometer rea lin, g
Of the milk of COWS of this breed range
from 1O4 to ITO specific gravity at a
temperature OF so degrees. I have
found the general average of milk of
no other breed to range higher.

RAILROAD CIRCLES
Plans for the Absorption of the
Short Line.
THEY HAVE GONE WRONG


Something seems to ave gone wrong
with the plans outlined by the Omaha
papers for the absorption Of the Oregon
drive the Rio Grande Western out of
the Northern territory. The last and
final date set for the consummation of
the event was the LIST OF April. and here
they have had eight days of grace and
the consolidation never seemed to have
been farther of than now. Among To-
cal railroad men the Omaha story has
about been forgotten. n both the
Short Line and Western continue to in
crease their business right along as IL
nothing had ever happened TO dis
turb II.
The Short Line is just now figuring
on a change in its Huntington branch
by which IL contemplates running the
main line through Boise. The latter
place Is now connected with the main
line by a short stub road. The people
Of Boise have agreed to put a survey
ing party in the field for h purpose
of securing needed data n the work
Is now being done. 1t is proposed to
build the main line through the city.
beginning at a point somewhere east
of Boise, and returning to the old line
at a point some distance west Of the
city.
Any attempt at an accurate state
ment Of what will be one in railway
building. a the Railway Age, at this
early season. can be necessarily no
more than conjecture. some additional
projects may develop during h spring
and summer in time to get a little track
laid In 1895: but they will be few. II
can be stated with reasonable certainty
that practically all the new railway
laid in the United States Will be on
lines which find a place in our list.

cludes 20. 176 miles. divided territorially

SUBSCRIPTIONS.
THE COMMON CASE.

The following item. clipped from an
exchange, is in reference to a case
which created considerable interest in
this city:
The noted Cannon conspiracy ease
of Norfolk is about to have its last
chapter in the pardoning of Cannon BY
The governor. Cannun's aged father l.,
the petitioner and the governor will
grant his request Young Cannon was
sentenced to a term Of mprisonncn,
and to a line Of $1,000. lie is Il fugitive
from justice. ana is somewhere III Can
ada, where, it is said. he is i'll with con-
sumption. His father offers to pay the
fine. il his son is pardoncd, on the CON
dition that he stay out of Virginia. The
governor has been considering the case
for some time He ana those who heard
the fathers appeal We're touched. The
question that has been giving the trou-
bic is as to the governors right to par
don Il fugitive from Justice. lie is
about convinced that he has authority
and has practically made up his mind
TO exercise executive clencncy."
The Cannon referred To was one OF
the principals in probably the most
desDicable attempt TO ruin the fair
name of a young Wife ever brought to
public attention in Virginia. a, the
enc challenged its justice. AS !, matter
of fact, the judge in announcing the
maximum punishment broadly limited
that il was entirely inadequate So far
as we have been able to learn no new
or eXIenuatng evidence has been dis
covered since the trial. 1t is difficult
therefore, to understand on what
ground the governor feels called upon
10 extend clemency to Cannon. Natur-
ally. hi. aged father is entitled to sym

WAY OF WASHING THE HAIR.
Doing IT Too Frequently n Mistake
Hlat I,....,..di.,d

Doing 1T Too Frequently Mistake
Not Easily Hrmcdied.
1t is as great Il mistake To wash the
hair too frequently as 70 wash it TOO
seldom. In the former case the con-
slant use of water is apt to wash away
the natural oil of the skin. without
which the hair not only loses its
glossy look Of health. but is apt to
turn prematureiy gray and grow thin
and scanty. In the latter case the
mouths of the oil vessels at the roots Of
the hair become clogged. dandruff
forms. and the growth of the hair is
impeded. and the hairs themselves be-
come matted and dusty-lookinS.
TO keep the hair in perfect health it
should be washed AT regular stated in
1c''vals. If you are strong and well.
and free from a cold of any kind once
In every three weeks or a month is the
proper limit of time TO allow between
each washing. If you are in delicate
health it should be washed every six
weeks
On no account should the hair be
washed If You are suffering from Il cold
In the head or from influenza. as SER
ious trouble may be the result. and
IN winter time it is best to have the
hair shampoocd at home. instead of go
ing to the hairdrcssers. and ii should
also always be done in Il room with
fire. 1t is d bad plan 10 wash the
tdir just before going to bed. as the
hair has not time to dry properly. and
Is apt to remain damp till morning
which is very injurious to its growth.
The best times to wash the hair are the
morning the afternoon, or between 6
and at night.
In the latter case the hair will have
plenty Of time TO dry before you have
To go to bed. In the former case. il
You have il washed in the daytime. be
careful not to go ont of doors till it is
quite dry, or you will run very great
risk CT taking cold
