pipes the whole length OF the brooding
house to keep the temperature in them
at the required point for fast growth.
The bottom of each of these hovers is
Uttered with chaff, sawdust o. cut up
straw. One who has never seen a
growing duck eat his rations of mixed
meal, bran and scraps, can have no
conception whatever of the greed with
which he feeds. A pig is modest and
shy as to his trough compared with a
young duck. And the shrewd manager
will be only too gIad when grain and
food is high to chop the thread of his
existence short off the day he is ten
weeks old. However, when he is to be
kept longer before marketing, his
course. of feed is altered, and he is
allowed a greater range to run in.
Contrary to all former notions in re-
gard to duck raising, these thousands
and tens of thousands of Pekin ducks
that are annually marketed in New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, from
New Jersey to the coast Of Maine,
never saw water only in drinking
troughs. They grow much faster when
kept out of the water. Indeed, and il
fed properly will average at ten or
eleven weeks Of age, ten pounds per
pair.
No bird that comes on to the table
nowadays is more highly priced by the
lover of choice Viands than the Pekin
duck. AS their name implies, they are
Of Asiatic origin, and we're imported
to this country from China something
over twenty years ago. A traveller
who saw them about the streets of
Pekin mistook them for small white
geese at first, but upon finding that
they we're ducks, was so greatly i'm
pressed with their beautiful snow white
plumege and noble carriage that he
secured some of their eggs. These were
brought to Hong Kong and Matched,
and in due time the birds were shipped
in q vessel bound for New York. A
number of the ducks died during the
long sea voyage, but from the rest has
sprung this popular breed that is now
to be met with in nearly every State of
the Union. s. 1. HUDGENs.

of sheeting, nailed at short intervals to
strips of wood a little longer than the
vat is wide, is a good thing to spread
over the vat while it is thus standing,
and it is also useful just after the milk

escape of heat.

CHEESE MAKING

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
CHEESE MAKING
IS. Cut early-as Don az the curd
will break clean across the finger, and
while it is yet tender and will part
readily before the knife, without show
ing signs Of toughness More white
whey and waste is made by cutting too
late than by cutting too early. Once
begun, finish the cutting as Ooh as pcs
STOLE, and cut as fine as dent corn. The
aim is to facilitate the separation of the
whey from the curd, and nothing is
gained, but something lost by every
moments delay. I derive no advan-
tege from using the horizontal knife,
and deem it an unnecessary expense.
Sc. If the milk is very sweet, there
is no objection to a little delay here,
while with the other hand gently re
moving the curd where it adheres to
the sides and ends Of the watts or to the
bottom. Then start the heat and gently
raise It at the rate OF about n degree
in five minutes, to SO degrees or BLOOD
heat. Have a care not to go much
above 100 degrees, as at a temperature
much above or below blood heat the
action of the rennet is slower. Milk
digested in the stomach Of a calf, how
ever, goes sometimes az high as 1O4
degrees.
81. Gently stir the curd with a rake
"a hay rake with the handle and head
shortened is as good as any-from the
time the temperature begins to rise
until it stops rising. After this, occa-
sionaI stirring is Ell hcient. Never stir
with the hands. II is both laborious
and uncleanly with the PRECIPITATION
exuding at every pore. A careful msn
with a rake will do no harm, while a
careless one with his hands may be
itqueez ing hRndfuls of soft curd into i'm
psIpable atoms. When he uses a rake
it is apparent what he is doing.
SS. Keep the temperature at SO de,
grees until the curd is sufficiently firm
and elastic-a point which must be
learned by experience and which must
be varied in different localities and I'm
der different conditions. A successful
cheesemaker in one factory may fail
in another but if he has quick obser-
walton ana good judgment, he may
soon be able to hit the exact point. He
may have to vary with the season.
SO. Before any acid appears, run eff
the whey to an amount just sufficient
to float the curd. At the first sign OF
acid, while the whey is yet draw
it all off, raise one end of the vat, poke
the curd away from the lower erd,
open it in the middle and pile it along
the sides of the vat, to lie and drain
until the milk sugar turns to Tactic
acid. With a dull pointed knife, fire.
quently cut the curd into strips easy
to handle, and bring the bottom curd
to the top, SO as to give a more equal
exposure to the air and keep the tenn.

The Spanish Pretender's Opportunity.

1t is an interesting bit of history
that Don Carlos, the Spanish pretend
er, might have been King of Spain if
he had been willing to abate his claim
to rule as an absolute monarch. The
present Prime Minister, Sagasta, went
to him in 1868 ana offered him the
crown on the condition that he would
sign a constitution and be a limited
monarch. He was then but nineteen
years of age, but he replied like true
Bourbon: Il will sign nothing. When
I come to my throne I will rule my
land as I and the ministers l choose
see fit" He still holds the same rigid
notions of what true kingship is. For
that reason he is likely to die un-
crowned.-Baltimor Sun.

Alter a Chinese Wedding.

On the day following Chinese wed
dire at least in certain provinces, the
brides youngest brother goes to In
ouire after her and to take present
from her mother Of bottle OF hair
oil. This is a custom so ancient that
no ones knows the origin thereof. NO
further communications take place be-
tween the bride and her family for
three months, when her mother sends
. sedan chair and an invitation to visit
her. If there has been neither blrth
ror a death in her husbands or in her
mothers house for 100 days she goes
ard makes short stay at her old
home. This visit over, she cannot see
her mother again until after her tlrst
child is born. and not then should the
child be a girl. Even then If there
ms been a death in either family the
visit cannot be made, and there have
been many instances where a mother
ard daughter living very near eacf
other have not met for years.-BoStor

When One faintS.

Remember that fainting proceeds
from a disturbance of the circulation,
by means or which the blood is drawn
suddenly from the head. The first
thing TO do is to lower the fainting
person to the floor in such position
that the head is lower than the rest
of the body. Loosen the clothing
across the chest and at the throat.
Battle the face and temples with cold
water in which little cologne water
or aromatic vinegar has been used, and
use smelling salts. II is a serious mis-
take to prop up the head with pillows
or administer alcoholic stimulants.-

Why Punish the Navy?

The introduction of bill restoring
the grade OF lieutenant general invites
again an inquiry into the discrimina-
tion which Congress seems so persist
emily TO make against the navy. If a
lieutenant general, why not vice ad-
miral, and if. as reported, this great
official honor is to lie held open for the
officer most distinguished in land oper-
alton, why should an equal incentive
not be given the sea officers entrusted
with the fortunes OF the fleet?

Origin of the Word "Bachelor. >

Few words have more curious def
nition than bachelor. Originally it
meant students who had taken their
degrees. Successful students were
crowned with laurel leaves, the Lstin
word for which is "baccalaureus. "
These students were not allowed to
marry, for fear the duties of husband
and father should interfere with their
literary pursuits. So finally "bacca-
laureate" or bachelor" got its pres
ent significance.

CLIMATE OF MANILA.
What Uncle Sans Troops Must Stand in
That Torrid Region.

\ IN wondering IN these days, when
Uncle Sam is about sending troops
from the Pacific coast to the Philip
]:ines, what the American boys vii!
thiak OF the climate over there. With
the possible exception OF some parts
of interior India and Arabia, | doubt
if there is any hotter climate than tnat
four degrees of the equator. The tem-
perGtUre is not so very high, but the
humidity is. The most extreme care
must constantly be exercised to keep
ones physical condition properly toned
all summer long The hottest days II
the year are in May and June. Fo:-
tunately breeze usually springs up in
the early evening, and that tempers
the atmosphere so that one can get
some sleep if he is properly fixed for
il, when midnight comes. The mean
tent .ture at the Philippines is Z.

cry. For seven months in the yea",
from April to October, no one but the
pooresl laborer goes out of doors, un.
less compelled to do so, between S in

In Manila the whole population rises
at =! ard a. IN. and gets the work OF
-the day out Of the way before o'clock.
The houses are opened, servants clean
up, merchants do their business AMI
the school children are busy with thelI
teachers. Even the civil and military
officers attend to most OF their duties
between t and a. M Then when old
Sol begins to shoot his darts down
upon the country more perpendicular
~ the whole population go into thtu
house OF stone ard wood with heavy
roofs Of tiles and a sort of asphaltum

until sundown. 1t is a land of SiestaS.
Every one who can sleeps there all

to a science. Hammocks abound and
couches OF bamboo are in every homo,
hotel, club, and lcaling place. The ser
wants are trained 10 keep their masters
and m;strcsses comfortable by bringing
them iced drinks Or a tray OF smoking
material whenever they awaken after

the idea Of keeping the heat out a.
much as possible. Business is sus-
pended all day long; even the men at
the wharves quit work for six cr seven
hours when the sun is highest.

There is an opening Of the heavy beard
window blinds and an exodus Of peo-
pie from their homes. Even the trees
and sErubbery shake off their Srow:i-

store doors. and the streets suddenly
start 10 life. The principal meal OF the
dlv is served at about e o'clock, and
with the rich Spanish it is ceremo-

population goes out for walk. Even

THE BUSY SOUTH.
War Has Not Injured Business In the
Atlantic and Gulf States.

War Has Not Injured Business In the
Atlantic and Gulf States.
Industrially and commercially the
Southern section of the country is ex'
tremely busy, says the Southern Pro-
gress for July. When war with Spain
was first declared and it was known
that the centre of operation wonld be
in Cuban waters there was some ner-
vousness felt by Southern business
men lest one of its effects should be a
stagnation of trade. But this has pass
ed off. Manufacturing establishments
there, especially in iron and cottons,
have an abundance of orders and are
working overtime to good advantage.
There is also an active demand for
coal. Money is being freely circulated,
with consequent benefit to both whole
sale and retail stores. The presence OF
the United States troops, moreover,
tends to create large consumption OF
food supplies, some of which are Sc
cured from Southern merchants, be-
sides theexpenditure of money in other
directions by those who are waiting
orders to move to the front. Farmers
are also sharing in the general pros
perity Of the South. The high prices
of grain and provisions are accom-
panied by better values for other farm
products. Fresh vegetables are worth
considerably more money now than
year ago, and Southern farmers are
fortunate in having diversified their
crops recently, undertaking the cul-
ture of such fruits and vegetables as
we're formerly supplied to our markets
only frcm the more northern section
of the country. The activity at the
industrial centres also tends to in
crease the demand for farm products,
so that one way and another there is
immediate reason for congratulations
to the busy South.
