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 in 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 or 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 or 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 pre- IS
lightly an hour. Remove from the
press aud put around it band of
cloth long enough to lap little; and
OF sufficient width to cover two or
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 a little salt over the top.
After removing from the brine turn
once day the first month, or if kept
two months twice week, and once a
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

To XIII Chicken Lice.

Since we have been in the poultry
business, like every other person who
keeps fowls, we have had great deal
of experience with chicken lice, and
the evil effects of the pests.
In former years We used to combat
them with lime and whitewash, coal
tar, lard, etc., all of which have some
merit But for the past five or six
years we have used but one remedy,
aud that very effective and cheap
one. 1t is kerosene oil, and, in our
opinion, it is all that any one needs to
keep the chickens, both old and
young, free of lice, not emitting, how
ever, the place to dust, which is neces-
sary to keep the plumage smooth and
glossy.
In order to keep lice off of the old
fowls, we keep their perches satur-
ated with the oil, so that the latter
are thoroughly soaked all the time, in
the warm season, especially. We
sprinkle it on the sides of the walls
about the roosts and in the enest boxes,
and about the sides of the nests, after
the hay or straw has been put in.
Kerosene oil applied in this way
once a week will keep the lice away
from the chickens in the hottest
weather.
To free the little chickens and their
mothers Of lice, we rub the shanks of
the hen thoroughly, and her fluff and
breast feathers lightly with the oil,
and also sprinkle it in and about the
coop about once a week. We do not
apply it at first, however, until the
brood is a week old. The oil pre-
vents scaly and rough legs also, and
it is all that one needs to combat
chicken lice with.-H. B. Geer, in
Agricultural Epitomist.

Intemnerntn Womnn.

One OF the most pitlful and ruinous
phases OF the alcoholic wave that has been
passing over Greenock and Port Glasgow
or some months, says the Greenock Tele-
graph. is the over-lndulgence OF women iu
ltrong drink. In this year Of plentiful
work aud high wages men spend far too
much OF their earnings in drink. But they
work, less or more, aud the great majority
II them keep their wives and families well.
It Is when the mother and child-rearer OF
the house gives way to dissipation that
Misery, wretchedness, and not infrequently
.rime, wreck what otherwise might be
happy homes. There are men In Greenock
md Port-Glasgow making two, and In
many cases three, pounds week, whose
families are about as needy the day before
he pay as II the parents were paGpcrs In
Smithston. Too often the reason Is tho
.eminine drink crave. Many a married

'amily to be proud OF will hardly ever

A Criticism of smokeless Powder.

A well-known sportman and gun ex-
pert of this city attributes the poor
workmanship of the Spanish fleets to
smokeless powder. He says it is a
well-known fact with sportsmen that
nitre or smokeless powder cannot be
depended upon for good shooting.
The strength of the same calibre of
cartridges varies; one probably will
shoot straight to the mark, the next
high, and the third low. If this is
the case with the small sporting cart
ridges, what must it be with those
used in the great pieces of ordnance
ON warships?
The accuracy of the American gun
ners is, of course, largely due to good
craftsmanship, but the skill of the
gunners would count for nothing, the
gun man said, if it were not for the
fact that the American navy uses
black powder, the explosive force of
which is always to be depended on.
He maintains that the same rule APP
plies to the small arms used in the
army, and contends that the Govern
ment had make no mistake i'll not
adopting nitre or smokeless powder. -

Feeding Hens For Profit.

The right proportion of food for lay,
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. II
serves more as guide to the poultry.
man than as an infallible rule.
Now the question of grain must be
decided according TO 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-forming 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 and labor, poul.
trymen make 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. II
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 aud 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. L. Farmer, in American Cul,
tivator.

summer Work Among Flowers.

Go over the garden beds daily, and
remove all fading flowers. This is
very necessary if You would keep your
plants blooming. If seed is allowed
to form, the plant will throw all its
energies into the development of it,
and you will get but few flowers; but
if the process OF nature is interfered
with by preventing the plant from
forming seed, 1t will, as general
thing, make further efforts to perpetu-
ate itself. In thus thwarting its eff
forts it can be kept Towering indefin-
itely. Remove all withered flowers
from the lower portion of the gladiolus
stalks. If they are left clinging there
they soon give an untidy look to the
spike. Tie the central stalk of each
dahlia to a stout support, or the plant
may be broken over by sudden
wind. Give morning glories stout
strings to Chamber on, but never at
tempt to train sweet peas on any sup
port of this kind, for they will stub
bornly refuse to make use of it.
They like best support of brush, but
they will do very well if trained over
wire netting with coarse mesh. The
netting should be at least five feet
wide.
If the season is dry one water
must be supplied to plants in the
beds. Give it after sundown, to avoid
the too rapid evaporation which takes
place if the application is made while
the sun can get at the soil. Apply it
close about the roots Of the plants,
where it will do most good. Keep the
soil loose and open. This prevents
its crusting over SO that water will
run off instead of into it. 1t also en-
ables it to act something like sponge
and absorb whatever moisture comes in
the shape Of dew.
If weeds were kept down we'll dur
ing the early part of the season they
will not need a great deal of attention
now, but the gardener should make it
a rule to pull up every one as soon as
seen. Never allow weed to riptn.
sGrass clippings from the lawn will
be found very effective as mulch about
dahlias and other plants requiring a
constant moisture at the roots. As
soon as it begins to decay dig it into
the soil about the plant and let it act
as fertilizer r.-Harper's Bazaar.

Harvesting Oats Green.

There is a time to cut oats so that
the straw may be almost, if not quite,
as valuable as good timothy hay.
That time is when the berry has fairly
begun to harden and before the stalk
becomes dry and indigestible.
For many years have followed the
practice of harvesting my oats as nearly
as possible when in this condition. In
order to do this L am obliged to watch
the field, and as soon as the grain be-
gins to turn yellow / start the reaper.
l do not use binder, for 1 think the
grain cures better when left loose than
when bound up at the same time it is
cut. Ii l were to use binder,
would tie the bundles as loosely as L
could and have them fit to handle. /
have seen oats bound SO tightly in
damp weather that they would mould
under the band.
Following the same plan use in
securing my hay crop, 1 try to cut
down only so much of my field as
can get up safely before storm. |
would rather get up half an acre day
in good shape than to have ten acres
cut and lying through heavy storm.
In good weather the bundles will dry
out quite rapidly and be ready to set
up. l always set my cats up in ten
bundle shocks, using two good sized
bundles to cap the others. These
two bundles are bound near the butts
and the tops spread, and then care
fully laid oven the top of the shock,
heads slanting downward, to shed rain.
Thusput up the oats will stand heavy
storm all right.
When thoroughly cured the grain is
hauled in and threshed. The straw
comes out bright aud full of sweet
juices. Any kind of stock will eat it
voraciously. Horses, cows, and even
sheep, will thrive on it. May 1st, last,
my sheep left good timothy hay in the
rack and ate straw secured as 1 have
described. The grain from oats saved
in this way is, to my mind, much
