Early Vegetables.

From Farmers Review: Caulif1ow-
er should be in as general use as is
cabbage. Its good qualities merit its
general use. Would you be without
cabbage from year to year? Then why
be without cauliflower? Do you grow
and use satisfy, the oyster plant? Try
it. If you have good success and are
as fond of ii as some are, you will not
let a spring pass without planting it.
If you like celery try to grow it. For
raising early vegetables now is the
time to begin work. Make a hot bed
and have good-sized hardy plants ready
for the open ground as soon as the
weather will admit of their being put
out. Place several loads of horse ma
nure in fat topped pile and give it
a good wetting. After several days it
will be steaming vigorously and should
be forked over into similar pile and
wet again. After this process has been
repeated two or three times, make the
manure into a solid bed two feet deep,
place a frame on the bed and fill in
with four inches of good soil well pull
verified Sow your seeds, cover light
ly and keep the soil moist. Cover the
frames during nights and cold days
with glass sashes if you have them,
but If not, use the best covering you
have, such as old carpet or wagon
sheet. With this little care you may
have an early supply of vegetables.
They grow better during early sum-
mer before it gets hot and dry, and
tomatoes will continue to bear till
frost if irrigated, or if the drouth is
not severe.

Some Cheesemaktnp Methods.

The first thing which l observe in
the manufacture of cheese is cleanli-
ness, not only in the factory, but as
well among the different COWS and
their keepers, writes w. L. McLain IN
American Cheesemaker. All the ami
NAL heat should pass from the morn
ing milk before it is mixed with the
evenings milk and then it is trans
ported without being Jared or jostled
very much. In the factory I receive
no milk that is in cans which are not
daily cleansed and steamed. 1t must
be sweet and pure. Add enough col
Oring to give a rich color and then
heat the milk slowly to IS deg and add
diluted rennet 1 dilute it to prevent
curd before the rennet is thoroughly
mixed. 1t takes about five minutes to
mix. I require from 20 to 35 minutes
for good curd.
II ever l have floating curd, draw
of the greater part Of the whey and
add some moderately warm water.
This Is to weaken the Tactic acid and
reduce the acid to the proper amount
Then heas as before, not heating above
95 deg. in cooking In cooking the
maker has the curd under his con-
troll, if he has not added too much rem

simply changes the milk into a gela-
tinous mass. When the whey is drawn
OF the curd should be soft and retain
moisture, thus being under the com
plete control of the maker, and it must
then cool slowly to IS degs.; then add
salt, but not too heavy. 1t should be
in proportion to the amount of rennet.
Then the curd is in its normal state
to commence curing. 1t should be en-
tirely free from all taints and odors.
Should remain in the press from four
to six hours, then be removed and
dressed and placed in press again I'M
til next morning.
The curing room should always be
darkened and the same moderate tenn
perature kept, with good ventilation,
not allowing gases and foreign sub
stances to enter the room. The cheese |
should be creased well and turned at
six in the morning and again at six in |
the evening and again at six in the |
morning Of each day. Ten to twelve
days are required for my cheese to
cure.

A correspondent of the Homestead
writes that while putting in hay from
stack the last loads were found fair
ly alive with a small worm about half
an inch long and of dark color, which
appeared to be quite lively. The hay
was stacked on rail bottoms He de-
sires to know what they are, whether
they will work in hay in the NOW
that has been put in directly from the
swath and whether it is the same lit
tie customer in another dress that
works in clover seed and is called the
nudge. The Homestead replies:
If, as we are inclined to believe from
the letter, the hay is clover hay, the
worm is probably the clover hay worm,
which was very prevalent in many
parts of the West in the spring of
1898. The color of the worm is dark
brown and the lower parts of stacks
and mows are, in February and March,
fairly alive with them. They also
work on hay later in the season. They
are the larvae of a purple moth that
has silken luster and two bright
spots on the wings. 1t is not entirely
settled whether the moth lays the eggs
that produce the worm exclusively af-
ter the hay is put up, or whether eggs
are not also laid while the clover IS
yet in the field. The clover hay worm
works in mows as we'll as in stacked
hay, and while hay so affected may
be fed out to the cattle if fed early
enough, the worms then being con-
sumed along with the hay, if deferred
until later the work of the larvae so
fills the hay with webs that the cattle
will refuse to touch it. From another
part of our correspondents letter we
find that he is putting this hay into a
new barn that he has just built. We
would advise him not to do this, as
he will be thereby preparing for big
ger crop than ever of the hay worm for
the next year. Hay in stacks is gen.
orally worked on from the bottom up
for about two feet. and the only way
we know of combating the insect is to
take off and feed all the good and burn
that that is seriously affected. If it
gets into the hay NOW the best thing
to do is to clean out the NOW thor
oughly and burn that part OF the hay
that seems to be affected, and then
turn in the chickens. Prof Webster,
in Ohio, in 1884, however, found that
the majority of the larvae can be killed
by Restocking the hay and busting it
with two pounds of powdered pyreth-
rum mixed with ten pounds of flour, to
each ton of hay. We would suggest to
all our readers who have any consider
able quantity of clover hay, either in
the stack or in the NOW, that now is
he time to examine thoroughly, par
the bottom of the mass, and |
see whether it is affected. If it is, |
md that part of the hay that is being |
worked upon can be got at, it should |
De destroyed during this month and

developed early, ready to lay eggs for

Flowing In Oats.

I have tried the above method o
covering them, says a contributor t.
Wallace's Farmer, but did not find i
very satisfactory for several reasons.
First-It is quite difficult at times
in early spring, when oats should BIZ
sown, to get the pillow to scour among
the heavy stalks that will be found
upon the corn fields of a careful and
painstaking farmer without plowins
the oats under too deeply for best re-
suits.
Second-The seed will be thrown to-
gether somewhat in the burrows and
is not scattered as evenly as it should
be for best results.
Third-If plowed only about three
inches deep, as 1 think it should be,
the harrow will bring many of the
stalks to the surface and partly defeat
the plan. l think it will be
found that more lodged oats are caused
by putting the seed in too we'll than by
not putting it in well enough.
1t Is quite an objection to have the
seed thrown together in the burrows,
for it has been my experience and OBJ
servation that the more evenly oats
are scattered the better the results.
They should occupy the whole sur
face of the ground evenly, thus giving
each plant its share of warmth, light
and air. This is the chief objection,
think, to drilling oats. 1t crowds the
plants too much together in the drills
l do not consider it impracticable to
plow a stalk field deep enough and
litter and put the ground in good
shape for meadow, and plow the oats
in at the same time. l would prefer
to break, rake and burn the stalks,
then cultivate the oats and grass seed
in, going across the ridges and har-
rowing thoroughly afterward. If l
used the plow at all would pillow and
smooth and firm. An objection tc
blowing at all in my mind is that it
leaves the ground too loose and unless
the soil is rather heavy, it will dry
out too much later in the season. But
If the soil is dry enough. and the sea-
son permits, this can be avoided by
plenty Of narrowing or perhaps the
use of the roller, and the whole plan
will work better. On the contrary il
it is rainy and the soil wet and sticky,
and the stalks too tough for the roll
ing cutter to handle, causing the pillow
to choke, it will be found a very slow
and tedious way to. put in oats, and
most likely be abandoned

FavOrfte Shape In Paris,

From the Millinery Trade Review
The smartest of the drectoire shapes
have the brim cut through as far as the
crown In two places. so as to form a sort
OF tab at the back. The corners of the
brim are generally allowed to lie nat
against the hail at the sides, whereas the
tab properly wired, may be lifted like a
sun blind over a window. Underneath 1t
may be placed cluster of flowers or a
bow; as these shapes are mostly worn with
strfngs-a peculiarly only extended to
them and to some capotes-the ribbon COM
posing the bow may be borrowed from the
center of the length of ribbons used for
tying under the chin. Directories are al
ways in thin. smooth piled felt, and when
covered with velvet the material Is cut ex-
actly to form and stretched over 1t as
smoothly as possible. The lining of the
brim is usually in velvet also; nevertheless,
there is no reason why satin, or even silk.
should not be used as well az for lining
hats of other shapes. Various modes of
trimming are adopted, but the drapery of
silk or satin about the crown and the
plume of ostrich feathers seem most APP
plfcable for the outside ornamentation.
More variety exists in the nature of the
trimming placed under the front of the
brim; frequently this is merely caught
back by a loop of the material used for
the drapery, the crown of the hat resting
on a velvet handeau. which should match
the strings. and, therefore, is more often
than not Of black velvet ribbon. The BAN
deau Is plated fiat or twisted and finished
with a small bow on the left side, or is
merely a foundation for handsome band
of openwork metal set with simili, mostly
provided in Greek kew designs. In some
cases. however. the whole under side Of
the brim will be covered with trimming,
folds Of material or large rosette on the
other.

There Is a tendency to revive the cart
wheels of a few seasons ago in an exagger-
ated form in velvet and tul.e, but the
chances are that later in the season they
will disappear with the too long quilts,
which are bringing ridicule upon a smart

There are so many shapes of felt hats
upon the market that we must exercise
great care and discrimination, setting aside
at least a good working day to the choice
of something in which we shall look our

Smart Winter Hats in COlOrs.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
The degree of smartness of hat depends
this season less on the shape than on the
color and trimming, and setting aside GER
tain special shapes belonging strictly to the
domain of the halter foremost among
which stands the automobile with its
wide, low crown, very narrow at the base),
almost any shape may be converted into
smart article-sailors included.
Respecting capotes, there may be said to
be no line of special shapes. The founda-
ton shape of wire, or whatever chosen, has
often little in common with the form once
it is finished either it has been SO added
to is in the case of the saucer mold
forms, or it has been so modified out of its
original hat shape, by nipping in here and
turning up there, as to be unrecogniZable

To Pretent Worrying.
From the Buffalo Times.


If woman is, to protect herself from
the ravages Of worry and to retain her
youth for longer period she must come
into more frequent contact with other peo-
pie, as her husband does. and read good
books. She, must relieve the monotony Of
her duties and the limiting influence Of con-
fnement within four walls by taking out
door exercise. walk every day or spin
on bicycle. In short, she must exercise
the body and mind in a healthful manner,
and she will find the bloom Of health and
youth remain with her for years after it
has faded in other women of the same age.
The ordinary woman. says celebrated
physician. leads such a monotonous exist
ence that her mind has no occupation but
worry. She is almost made up Of worry
upon worry. What she more needs is to
come out Of herself much more than she
does. She must have intercourse with more
people and take more exercise. This can
be done without neglecting home, and every

Much Fur in Winter Millinery.

1t is important to call particular atten-
ton to the very great use to be made of
fur. Already models trimmed with fur are
on show, and as the season advances fur
trimmings will constitute very important
feature in millinery. Draperies are made of
squares Of sable, astrakhan or seal, and the
same will be employed for covering toQues
and capotes. Sable tails and heads and also
fancy heads made of other fur will often
figure in the decoration of felt and velvet
covered hat shapes.
