GEN. GARCIA is at Washington asking
our Government to advance money to
pay off the Cuban army-our Govern
ment to secure itself against loss, by
appropriating the necessary amount
from the revenues of the island. II we
can pay the Spanish, who blew up the
Maine and starved the reconcentrados of
Cuba, $780, 900 600 as a gratuity, we surely
ought not to higgle over helping these
gallant Oubans who gave their services
for years and sacrificed all they had for
for Cuba Libre.

Cheese Making at Home.

Experiments have been made in
some of our Western schools of agri-
culture to ascertain what kind of
cheese is best adapted to the small
home dairy. The Gonda cheese,
made of new milk, seems to be the
most satisfactory. This cheese has
for many years been made in Hol-
land, but by somewhat different
process from the one used here. While
fresh from the COW the milk is aera-
ted. When it has stood long enough
to lose its animal heat warm to ninety
degrees Fahrenheit, using sufficient
rennet to cause coagulation i'll from
seven to ten minutes. Let stand
from fifteen to twenty minutes, then
insert the front finger at an angle of
forty-five degrees until it touches the
curd. 1t on withdrawal the curd
breaks clean across, with few OF no
bits attached, it is ready to cut. Di-
vide with a knife until the size is
that of an average wheat kernel. Stir
gently five minutes, then gradually
increase the heat until 100 to 1O4
degrees is reached, constantly stirring
as the temperature rises. Drain OF dip
off the whey, leaving the curd firm,
but not too dry. Press by the double
handful firmly into the hoop, until
full, then put on the cover and press
lightly an hour. Remove from the
press and put around it band of
cloth long enough to lap little; and
nj II iala 70 ~,
three inches on each end. Cover top
and bottom with round cap, return
to hoop for twenty four hours, with
increased pressure.
The Gonda cheese is ordinarily
three inches thick and eight inches in
circumference. A simple lever press
can be constructed of hardwood
stick, ten feet long and four inches in
diameter. one end fastened under a
cleat against the wall. The cheese,
band and end covers should be dipped
in very hot whey or water before the
cloth is applied. To salt the cheese,
make saturated solution of brine
and feat the cheese in it from five to
eight days, turning every day and
sprinkling little salt over the top.
After removing from the brine turn
once day the first month, or if kept
two months twice a week, and once q
week the third month. The curing
room should be cool, little damp
ness will be beneficial than otherwise.
During the midsummer months the
making of this cheese requires less
labor than butter making The pro-
cess is simple, the product good

Feeding Hens For Profit.

The right proportion of food for Law
ing hens can be scientifically ascer-
tanned, but the relative question of the
cost OF the different foods must also
enter into the question. Thus, accord
ing to some authorities, fowls should
receive about sixty per cent. grain, fif-
teen per cent. of flesh, and twenty-five
per cent. of vegetables. This proper
tion is not absolute, but relative. 1t
serves more as guide to the poultry
man than as an infallible rule.
Now the question of grain must be
decided according 10 the locality and
cost of the various grains. Where
beans can be obtained cheaper than
grains they take the place of the latter
very acceptably If ground and fed in
an attractive form. Mixed with the
ground beans little corn, barley and
wheat bran produce desirable results.
Corn we know has the greatest amount
of fat producing material in it, and
oats more muscle-forining material.
Beans. however, succeed any of the
grains in muscle-forming material, con-
tanning thirty eight per cent. com
pared to twenty-five per cent in oats.
As to the meat, flesh or fish food,
the matter must also be considered
from different standpoints. Fish will
to large extent take the place OF
meat and flesh, and along the seacoast,
where fish can be obtained for a little
expenditure of time aud labor, poul-
trymen maze it take the place of meat
entirely. The fowls not only thrive
on it, but they learn to like it, and to
prefer it to any other form of meat 1t
is cheaper, too, and may always be
substituted for flesh with good results.
: The best vegetable substances for the
fowls are clover, alfalfa, green oats
and garden vegetables. In the West,
where alfalfa thrives luxuriantly, this
is the best green vegetable food that
can be fed to the fowls. Green oats
are rather expensive green food, but
garden vegetables can nearly always
be found in abundance if one looks for
them. The tops and the refuse of the
vegetables are often just as good as
the parts We eat on our table, and they
should be saved for the fowls, They
should not be thrown into the yard in
quantities. Keep the bulk of them in
cold water, and feed only few each
day.-W. E. Farmer, in American Gull
tivator.
