The Horse in Russia.

In Russia the wages of II horse, as il
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 nv.
erage pay of man and horse to be about
~ cents per day; of man alone, "a
cents; that is, 3S cents for the horse and
"a cents for the man. The women re-
ceive from 10 to 20 cents. In the central
agricultural region the average is:
Horse, % cents; nance cents; woman,
l3 cents. In the southern steppe:
16 cents. This is an interesting COM
pentary on the standard of living of
Russian agricultural laborers. Its
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 be employed more
cheaply than two horses 1t is difficult
to imagine the conditions of home life,
the dearth of refining Influences, the
sodden, hopeless stagnation that such
a state of affairs reflects? Is it any
wonder that the products of such n
wage status as this are individual deg
radiation, social barrenness, meager ed
ucation. political despotism, religious
intolerance. and. generally, type of
civilization scarcely above barbarism?

of the success of The crop depends upon
the quality and freshness OF the seed
sown; it is better to pay dollar a
pound more for selected strain of
reliable seed house than to be fooled
by cheap seed; northern-grown seed is
preferable TO California. In the yie,d
of onions per acre there is n very wide
range, from 200 To 1000 bushels; and
these numbers are not quite the ex
tremes either, for occasionally a crop
of l.2oo bushels is heard OF, and il is by
no means uncommon to see crops of less
than 200 bushels; but man who can
average 500 to 600 may consider himself
a successful onion grower. while 400 10

RiPENING OF CHEESE.
The Changes Which Usually Occur
During the Process.

During the Process.
\ well-cured cheese contains 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 GER
tain of the constituents of the cheese
to be converted into fat. Partly with
the object of testing this theory, Dr.
Caldwell has Undertaken an inyestiga-
ton of the changes which occur in the
curing of cheese. The course pursued
was to take several green cheeses fresh
from the hoop, aualyze the same, and
thea 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-
ccivers showed that the cheeses all
alike rapidly gave off carbonic acid and
water, and az 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 cseein 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 its unripe condition
was not due to any increase of fat in the
curing process, but to a greater loss of
casein than Of fat by oxidation.-C. G.
