There is a large trade done in ported
cheese through the fine grocery stores.
Cheese put up in pound jars sells for 25
to so cents pound. It is we'll made
cheese, of course, but it is cured slowly
in the jars, developing a buttery flavor
as we'll as a mild aromatic flavor Of
cheese. The cheese thus sold is made of
two milkings and the cream of one,
mixed with the nights and mornings
milk of well fed COWS high in butter
yield. A per cent of fat COW s milk is
as rich as isrequired, for more fat could
hardly be kept in the cheese made in
this way. The curd is made at not more
than so degrees and in half an hour.
More rennet than this will make the
cheese too hard and not of the right
flavor. The cheese is not pressed, but
the curd is drained and put in the mold
with no other pressure than its own
weight. To preserve the richness of fat
the cheese is turned daily for week
and after that twice or three times a
week. This cheese should be cured in
cold storage at a temperature of not
over DO or 90 degrees for two months.
1t is then ready for sale, and if sold
right will bring 20 cents a pound-at
least large quantity of such cheese is
sold at this price, made small or from
six to ten pounds each. The cheese is
rubbed daily at first to keep the rind
from cracking. with cream twice a week;
after month, once week. The size is
handy for domestic use and is greatly
preferred to cut cheese. III. S. in

The Child at the PLAY.

The 6-year-old son Of a newspaper
man occasionally goes to the matinee
with his mother, but the trouble with
him is that he becomes greatly excited
and is apt to express his feelings in
words, to the amusement Of the audi
ence, but somewhat to the annoyance
of the actors. At a recent play one of
the actors was in the act of choking an
other whom he suspected of being guilty
of crime. AS the actor went toward
the supposed villain with his hands
outstretched the boy became greatly ex-
cited, and as the men clinched the boy
stood up and called out, 'Say, let him
alone, he didn't do it.. There was a
laugh from the audience and surprised
look from the stage.
At another time, in a play where a
husband suspected his wife, and she
was pleading to be taken home and
given an opportunity to prove her in
nocence, the boy could not stand the
woman's pleas and the husbands cold
reception of her entreaties, and he called
out, Please, mister, take her back. :"
The boy has not been taken to the
theater recently .-Pittsburg Chronicle

That Cornstalk Disease.

This disease occurs more or less
everywhere, and in all states where the
farmers let the corn stand uncut in the
the field until it is dead ripe, storm
beaten and worthless for food, in the
meantime turning their cattle into the
field to exc out sorry existence. It
does not exist where the stalks are cut
while considerably green, then shocked
up, husked and the fodder fed.
The cause of the disease can easily be
inferred from these two foregoing facts.
To relieve hunger the COWS eat of these
dry, woody stalks, as devoid of succu-
lence as a kiln dried pine shaving.
When eaten, the mass easily packs in
an almost solid, indigestible mass in
the rumen, and sickness and often death
ensues. The loss, which is a serious
one. comes in two ways:
First. Loss of cattle and loss of milk,
for we never yet saw herd of COWS
that ranged stalkfeld that would
compare in yield of milk with one
handled and fed as an intelligent dairy
man would feed and handle
Second. "A great loss in the feeding
value of the corn stalks. For years the
farmers have been told that 40 per cent
of the combined value of the ear and
stalk lay in the stalk as a fodder if it
was handled right. As it is, these farm
ers who leave the stalks uncut in the
field do their work for only 60 per cent
of the value and waste 40 per cent.
Is that good farming, good financial
sense or good management of cattle?
Their excuse almost invariably for that
way Of doing things is that they cannot
afford the expense of labor. Well, can
they afford the loss in fodder, loss in
cattle, loss all around?
A good Minnesota farmer once said
to us that about all the improvement
farmers had made in his state for the
last % years was in learning how to
stop the killing waste that was going
on. In most cases that would be big
improvement. Great progress along
this very line must come to farmers all
over this land before they will make
any money.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Foreign Butter.


At our dairy convention the different
kinds of foreign butter shown and the
price paid for each are as follows: I'm
sailed Normandy rolls. s316 cents;
French salted butter, 2315; Royal
Danish, 24A; Finnish, 231S: Irish
creamery, 2315; Dutch creamery, 231kk,
all being about four weeks old at the
time of the convention.
Much surprise was expressed at the
packages in which this butter was
found, as so much has been said in crit
ieisln of the American packages as not
good enough for the foreign market.
There were 6rkins that suggested old
fish casks, there were boxes of different
shapes and there was one willow wicker
basket. The butter belonged to the mild
favored classes and suggested pasteuriz-
ed cream butter, except that an unpleas
ant after taste was perceptible, which
may perhaps be credited to deterioration
on account OF the effects of time and
ocean transportation The butter buyers
and butter makers were pleased to ex
amine these different grades atone time
and were every ono fully convinced that
we can make butter just as good,
with no difficnlty whatever Creamery

OLD ST. JOHNS CHURCH.

Historically 1t Is Among the Most Inter
esting Churches In the Country.
Historically and in the relics of the
past which it contains few if any
churches in America are more interest
ing than old st. Johns at Portsmouth,
N. H. The founding of the parish dates
from 1888, but the present edifice is
modern. 1t was built in 1906, and the
good man who preached the dedication
sermon described it as a work of stu
pendous magnitude. 1t is not, however,
the building which attracts u.s. but it's
belongings. Here we see the old prayer
book with the prayer for the president
pasted over that for the king; the
Vinegar" Bible, of which only 40
which are in the United States The
bell which calls the parish to prayers is
a capture from Louisburg, and, although
twice recast, once by Paul Revere, since
its voice was heard in its foreign home,
it is yet the same old bell An arm
chair, which stands behind the altar
rail was gift from Queen Caroline,
but is now known as the Washington
chair, having been occupied by the first
president of the United States when he
attended service in the old church.
Admiral Farragut was buried from
st. Johns, and the reading table is
made of wood from his flagship A
strange bit of treasure trove is the
heavy porphyry font taken from an old
church in Portsmouth and captured by
the English from the French off the
coast of Africa. Every Sunday 10 loaves
of bread are placed upon this font and
distributed to 10 old women, in accord
ance with the terms of one Theodore
Eccleston's last will and testament, and
because of gift by will the church is
still heated by wood fires. -Nashua IN.

He was mere STRIPPING of a lad. He
might have been years of age or he
might have been 8. Nobody could tell
by looking at his face The only mark
of certainty about the youthful counte-
nance was the sure sign that some of
his ancestors had come from old Ire
land. The little fellow walked hastily
into the Office of the warrant clerk of
Recorder Finnegan's court He did not
notice the four persons standing in line
waiting to get affidayits made out
against some bothersome relatives, but
the youth pushed through the crowd
and disengaged the attention of the
clerk with this odd demand:

"Well, why don't your ma swear out
the warrant against pa? My boy, yop
are too young; you won't fill the bill. !"
My ma can't come, and she wanted
me to fix it up for her. -
"Why could she not Gomez asked
the clerk, getting interested in the
youngsters story. He-could not imag-
inc why. the wife would not be only too
willing to swear out the warrant.
My pa and ma they got in the fight
in the kitchen. That is how it hap
pened. My pa made a drive for her,
but didn't land, and then my ma she
grabbed up the rolling pin and fioored

him, holding him down, and that is
why she couldn't come to swear against

looked for They know how and they
take pains and they struggle nightly
to keep at the head of the procession in
the butter market.
The dairy cows belong to one breed
and are of uniform type. The COW is de-
scribed as just ''little red COW. that
is all. The Danish eye looks to a large
return of milk and butter and squints
sideways at a profit in beef besides. The
typical COW of Denmark is somewhat
larger than Jersey, is red all over,
with good sized udder, but with teats
not SO regular and well placed as those
of an Ayrshire or any of our popular
dairy breeds.
One of Danish dairyman's signs of a
good COW is that she is wide between
the ribs. She is expected to give 40
pounds of milk day, which is high
general average. The cows do not run
on pasture so much as they do in Amer
lea, partly because of the severity of
the climate, partly on account of the
value of the land, which is too high
