Home of the Edam cheese.

[F'rom the New York Tribune.1
While the Edam cheese is a familiar
visitor on the table, not every one
knows whence it comes nor how its can
non ball proportions and gay coloring
have been achieved. The northern part
of Holland is the seat of the Edam
cheese industry, and the consequent
cleanliness of the relish is therefore
doubly assured. In making it the fresh
cows milk is carefully strained and the
rennet added. As soon as the milk
curd1es the whey is drawn off and the
curd, thoroughly kneaded, is pressed
into molds. This process is repeated
until the whey has all been extracted
and the curd is comparatively dry. It is
then wrapped in a linen cloth and kept
for ten or twelve days until quite solid.
Then the cloth is removed and the
cheese put into salt I've. Afterward a
little more dry salt is sprinkled on the
cheese until the maker thinks it is salt
enough to insure its keeping. It is next
put into vessel and washed with whey
and scraped to remove the white crust.
It is next carried into a cool room and
laid on shelves, where it is frequently
turned. The ripening process lasts from
two to three months, the round balls
growing the fine yellow or reddish color
peculiar to Edam cheese. The cheeses
intended to be exported to this country
are rendered still more brilliant by dye
ing the rind with a vegetable dye.

ROCKY FORD MELONS.
Season Opens With a Rush-Crop OF
Catalogues Short

Rocky Ford, Colo, Aug. 16.-The
melon season opened this week in full
blast, and many were the wagons that
came in loaded with the luscious water
melon or the richly Favored canta-
loupe.
Around the depot and shipping plat
forms was a. scene of unusual activity.
There the Kouns Party Melon Growers
association, an organization composed
of some Of the most experienced and
successful growers around Rocky Ford,
were today loading a car consigned to
Denver
H. Woods is the general agent for
this association and will place its goods
in the eastern markets. The car sent
out today was of itself a sufficient guar
antee of the high class melons that will
go out from this association this year
One had but to enter the car to be at
once struck with the painstaking eff
forts the growers are making in order
to place the melon output this year
upon the market in the best possible
condition. Each crate in the car bore
a handsome autographed label display
ing a trio of cantalOupes, while in the
background there appears a beautiful
landscape scene.
1t is believed that the crop of canta-
1oupeS will be cut considerably short
this season owing to the appearance of
what is known as the rust in many of
the gardens.

is investigating the Peck's mill pond
trolley car accident which killed % per-

testified before the jury last week. was
brought into the court room under ar
rest, charged with perjury.
In his testimony last week, Kelly
testified that he was passenger on the
car at the time of the accident and de-
scribed in detail the scenes just before
the car fell and the efforts of the mo-
torman to stop the car and also his
sensations when he fell from the car
into the mud in the bed of the pond.
His testimony was highly favorable to
the company, being to the effect that
the car was running slowly.
Patrick J. Clark, the next day teSti-
fed that Kelly was not on the car at
all and in court today Mr.. Clark and
his son told substantially the same
story. to the effect that Kelly was sit
ting in a carriage on the highway at
the time of the accident.
Kelly was then put on the stand and
admitted that he was not on the car
at the time of the accident and that he
did not fall from the bridge.
