The Horse i'm Russia.

In Russia the wages of u horse, as it
were, are higher than those of man,
and hence, of course, very much higher
than the wages of women. Thus in the
Nishni-Volga section, we find the av-
erage pay of man and horse to be about
72 cents per day; of man alone, "a
cents; that is, 3s cents for the horse and
81 cents for the man. The women re-
ceive from 10 to 20 cents. In the central
agricultural region the average is:
Horse, 90 cents; man 20 cents; woman,
13 cents. In the southern steppe:
Horse, SO cents; man, 25 cents; woman,
16 cents. This is an interesting COM
mentary on the standard of living of
Russian agricultural laborers. It's
meaning is simply that human beings
are cheaper there than draft animals.
In other words, it costs less to keep
them alive. In the southern steppe
five women can he employed moro
cheaply than two horses. It is difficult
to imagine the conditions of home life,
the dearth of refining influences, tho
sodden, hopeless stagnation that such
state of affairs reflects? Is it any
wonder that the products of such 8
wage status as this are individual deg.
radiation, social barrenness, meager ed
ucation, political despotism, religious
intolerance, and, generally, type Of
civilization scarcely above barbarism7

THE FARMING WORLD.
COMFORT FOR CONS.

Animals That Are Well Treated Re-
turn the Kindness.
After milking in the way the average
farmer docs for q number of years, in an
open lot, with straw stack for shelter,
and concluding that if q COW house
would not be 4 paying investment it
would at least add very much to the
comfort of both COWS and mixer, we
built one this fall. 1t is not an elaborate
or costly affair, and is within the reach
of almost any farmer who keeps few
cows. If there is anything more ex-
asperating than milking restless COW
in a muddy lot, I have failed to find it.
It not only tries the patience, but in
jures the health and at least part of the
cows feed is wasted.
But I started to tell you about the
cow house. 1t is 40 feet long and II
feet wide with shingle roof. The stalls
are little less than four feet wide, and
there is room for nine COWS, and place
to store feed. Milking, which has al
ways been burden, is now a pastime;
each COW knows her place and the
weather does not interfere with milk
ing time. We have broken three heifers
without any clubs or profanity. Two
or three weeks before calving they
were put in the COW house, taught to
stand tied, and fed regularly with the
right kind of seed, and gave no trouble
either with calving or milking.
The total cost, labor included, was
less than $50. The interest on that sum
at ten per cent. would only be five dol
lars, and it does seem that the saving in
feed, comfort and health ought to be
worth that. The dairy business does
not seem to be very encouraging at
present, but it gives regular income,
and there is generally demand for a
good article of butter; and with a lot of
thrifty pigs to utilize the waste prod
ucts, there ought to be some profit in
it.-J. NJ. Terrell, in Journal of Agri-

cream in cold place until the creamery
team makes it's daily round, when the
cream is sent away, and the skinned
milk retained for feeding to hogs or
calves. Where this plan is practiced;
the house shown in the accompanying
illustration will be found exceedingly
convenient. 1t is built against the
north side of the barn, in the shade
and away from the cattle, which are
usually on the south side. The ice is
stored in the part next the barn, the
other part being used for milk tank,
etc. This gives great economy of labor.
The milk has but few steps to be car
ried, while the SKINNED milk is right
at hand to be fed to calves. or to pigs
whose quarters can either be in the
barn cellar or in a nearby shed. The
ice is also just where it is needed

RIPENINe OF CHEESE.
The Changes Which Usually occur
During the Process.

The Changes Which Usually Occur
During the Process.
A well-cured cheese contains q higher
percentage of fat than the same cheese
does when green, and this gave rise to
the idea that the action of rennet, or of
the fermentation process, caused cer-
tain of the constituents of the cheese
to be converted into fat. Partly with
the object of testing this theory, DIR.
Caldwell hats undertaken an investiga-
ton of the changes which occur in the
curing of cheese. The course pursued
was to take several green cheeses fresh
from the hoop, analyze the same, and
then keep them in air-tight receivers
to cure. By daily examination of the
air in the receivers, everything that was
given off from the cheese, or absorbed
by it, was traced and noted.
Without going into minute details,
it will be enough to say, in brief, that
the examination of the air in the re-
ceivers showed that the cheeses all
alike rapidly gave off carbonic acid and
water, and as rapidly absorbed oxygen,
in the early stages of curing, but after
ward this steadily diminished. The
weighing showed steady loss in the
total dry substance of the cheese from
oxidation, and u loss in the total of each
solid constituent-fat and casein-and
that the casein lost more than the fat,
thus leaving the fat in the cured cheese
in larger proportion than in its green
stage, and demonstrating that the in
creased percentage of fat in the ripe
cheese over that in it's unripe condition
was not due to any increase of fat in the
curing process, but to greater loss of
casein than of fat by oxidation.-C. G.
Freer-Thonger, in Farm and Home.

TALK ABOUT ONIONS.
The Best Paying Varieties ana Meshol
OF Cultivation.

The Best Payiag Varieties aaA Neshol
Of Cultivation.
The most popular varieties Of onions
for market are the following: White
Southport White Globe; red, Large Red
Wethedsfield, and yellow, Yellow Globe
Danvers, says Country Gentleman.
There are others, but the above ore con-
sidered the best and most profitable.
Yellow onions being greatest in de-
mand, the Globe Danvers variety, ow-
ing to its uniform shape. bright color
and excellent quality, is universally ac-
ceptcd as the standard; it will keep
better than any other kind, and even
if accidentally frozen in storage if
more covering is added and it is left
alone until thoroughly thawed, it. will
come out little the worse for it's experi-
ence. The writer has grown no other
variety for market for IS years. Much
of the success of the crop depends upon
the quality sand freshness of the seed
sown; it is better to pay dollar a
pound more for selected strain of q
reliable seed house than to be fooled
by cheap seed; northern-grown seed is
preferable to California. In the yield
of onions per acre there is very wide
range, from 200 to 1000 bushels; and
these numbers are not quite the ex-
tremes either, for occasionally crop
of 1000 bushels is heard of, and it is by
no means uncommon to see crops of less
than 200 bushels; but man who can
average 500 to GOO may consider himself
a successful onion grower. while 400 to
500 is very fair crop. The width Of the
rows, the quality and quantity varying
from four to six, pounds per acre) Of
seed sown, the adaptability of the soil,
and the extent to which it is fertiiized,
the attention given to cleanliness and
cultivation-these are the factors goY.
crning the size of the crop.

Cheese from Sleeps MIX.

In the district of Roquefort, France,
there is cheese factory which uses the
milk of some 25o,ooo sheep, turning out
during the season from 5000 to $500
tons of cheese. This is. the celebrated
Roquefort cheese, which is largely ex-
ported, and commands very high
price, both at home and abroad. The
ewes give such an abundance of milk
their lambs get sufficiently well grown
to be safely weaned at two months old,
.eaving the dam then to be MIXED for
the purpose Of making cheese.
