MAKING EXPORT CHEESE.
BOW to Produce Uniformly High
and Profitable Quality That
VIII Stand shipping

In an address to California dairy
men, E. II. Hogeman said: Cheese for
export that will stand shipping can be
made in the following way: Take good,
sweet milk and heat ii to Sc degrees
Fahrenheit, have the rennet test at GO
seconds before adding the rennet.
Then add rennet enough to coagulate
the milk in about 80 minutes, using
from two to three ounces according to
strength of rennet, and cutting when
firm; stir the vat gently at first until
the cnrd firms up. Cook to 100 degrees,
then stir vat every Is minutes to keep
curd in granular shape, till curd has
developed one-eighth inch acid. when
they should be run off, which usually
takes from one to one and one-half
hours. The curd is then ready to be
placed on curd rack and strainer cloth
and when matted down cut in square
blocks and turn over every Is minutes.
If gas holes form in curd the pieces can
be piled two or three deep; this will
press out the gas and will fatten out
the gas holes in the curd. When an
inch of acid has developed and the curd
shows meaty texture it is ready to
mill. When the curd is milled let it fall
onto the bottom of vat. If kept on racks
after it is cut too much moisture would
be lost and cheese would perhaps be
dry. Keep the curd stirred till ready
to salt, and salt the curd about one-half
to three-quarters of an hour after mill
ing, using two and half pounds of salt
per thousand pounds of milk. Give the
salt a chance to dissolve well, which
also takes from one-half to three-quar-
tiers of an hour, then put to press about
so degrees. A point of vast Importance
is to have the cheese well pressed and
all of the same size. If tainted milk Is
used it should be treated somewhat
differently from the above. but remem-
Der that the best cheese cannot be made
from sour or tainted milk 4 soft,
mild cheese, of which a great deal is
used in this market, requires absolute
~ sweet milk without faint. Heat to
SO degrees. Rennet test should be 1870
seconds. Set the milk at So degrees,
using the usual amount of rennet.
Cook to LOG to los degrees. Cut when
firm and run whey off at one-eighth
inch acid. Use about two pounds of
salt per 1000 pounds of milk. This curd
can either be worked in the granular
form or with curd mill and put to press
at IS degrees. If pure, sweet milk is
not used and is tainted. gas holes will
form and the cheese will likely swell
up and roll off the shelves

INTENSIVE CULTURE.

method of intensive culture which
has made some money for me is plow
a plot of ground in the fall, and manure
it heavily during the winter, then
harrow it in the spring, as soon as |
can work the ground, and with one
horse-corn planter plant the earliest
varieties OF peas in rows 2Ha feet apart.
l cultivate the peas with a horse and
cultivator until some time in May, when
plant early corn with the corn planter
between each alternate row of peas,
leaving alternate rows vacant from
which TO pick the peas. The peas are
marketed the last of June, when the
vines are removed from the ground.
BY this time the corn will have made
quite large growth, and the space
between the rows can be cultivated and
set to celery, cabbages, turnips or pot
ted strawberry plants: or Hubbard
squash can be planted in the corn rows
the last of May, and the vines will oc-
cupy the ground between the rows Of
corn after the peas have been removed.
Another profitable combination of
crops is to grow early bunch onions
from sets, and follow them with a sec.
ond crop of celery, cabbages or cauli-
flower.

WIDE TIRE TESTIMONY.
Here Is Some which Comes All the
Way from Australia, and Is
Quite Convincing.

Testimony on the value of wide tires
comes from all sections OF the globe.
4 correspondent of paper in Sydney
describes a road in which heavily-laden
wagons with narrow tires sank half
spoke deep, and in places TO their wheel
hubs" and yet load of five tons car
ried on siX-inch tires sank but two to
four inches in the worst places. In dry
weather, he says, the roads are cut up
by narrow tires until the dust is a foot
deep, and then the rain will not make
the dust set hard again.
Agood material for roads is gravel,
but no gravel loads of ten and twelve
tons on three and four inch tires An
experienced teamster will not speak
about the tonnage his team can draw.
lie will say: 4 think the road will carry
five tons or more, as the case might be.
| have heard road superintendent say
that enormous sums of money could be
saved annually if broad tires were used.
The only objection have heard raised
against the wide tires is that they do
not fit into the ruts cut by the narrow
ones, which makes the draught heavier
upon the team. That is partially true,
but the ruts would not be cut if all
the wagons had wide tires. Portable
engines varying from six TO eight horse
power and weighing five tons and over
are drawn by lighter teams than wag-
ons which. with their loads, would not
weigh more. This is owing 10 the broad
tires already used on engines. The ash
pans on engines are seldom more than
about ten inches from the ground but
ewing to the wide tires, these engines
seldom bog deep enough TO allow the
pans to touch the ground" - North

Heifern and MILK EInxy.

If there is any carelessness In milk
ing clean, it is most apt TO occur when
heifers are m;.ked after thRir first
calf. Their teats are small, and it is
slow, hard work to draw the last drops
from the udder, as should always be
done. Besides, the heifer that calved
last spring probably gives only small
mess at the best. and there is great
temptation TO dry her off, as the milk
she gives scarcely pays the trouble Of
milking. But that is not the main
point. Keeping the heifer up to her
usual flow of milk is all important, for
her own future value as a cow, When
heifer is allowed to go dry two, three
or four months, the cow is afterwards
extremely liable to stop further milk
productions at about the same time

would enable the government to "un-
dertalle a very comprehensive system
of road building" If an amount equal
to that now paid for pensions, say $780,
100000, were expended annually on the
roads, ii would cost the entire popula-

the highways of the country, or whose
business is in any way affected by the
traffic on the highways who would not
be willing to pay as much for good
roads as he now pays for the war with
Spain?
THE revenue bill passed by the last
session of congress, in order to raise
funds for carrying on the war, prom
ises to yield a much larger income than
will be needed for wareXpenses. Broad
ly stated, it may be said that the peo-
pie of the country do not feel these war
taxes, and If this bill should be contin-
ued in effect, and the surplus revenue
to the extent of, say, $lj0,000,000 a year
be voted TO the improvement of the

FEEDING SKIM MILK.
How to Avoid IniurinS the Calves

digestion and ScOurs.

A correspondent writes asking some
advice as to how to feed young calves
on skim milk. The essential points in
growing calves on skim milk are that
the milk be sweet when fed, that ii be
blood warm, that it be not fed in too
large quantities and that it be proper.

which may or may not result seriously,
but it is at best certain to interrupt the

ing skinned milk. the effort being to
make up in quantity for the fact that
the milk is less nutritious than whole
milk. The better way to meet this OBJ
lection to the skim milk is to add corn
meal and linseed meal, that is, ground
linseed,s to the milk. The proportion
of the linseed to the cornmeal may be
about one part to ten. The amount of
skim milk 10 be given will vary with the
appetite and age of the calf, but from
IL to 20 pounds per day is a liberal guam
tity, and with sufficient addition OF
meals, good calves have been raised on
considerably less than this amount.
When the calf is born it is best to give
whole milk at first, gradually substitute
ing skim milk, increasing the quantity
of the latter until it is all skim, in about
ten days or two weeks. For 80 days
feed an average of about one pound Of
cornmeal per day. with one-tenth as
much linseed meal to each 12 pounds of
milk, will be sufficient, the amount of
the meal being light in the early part
of the feeding period and gradually in
creased. Hay should be added as soon
us the calves can be induced to take it.
If il is difficult to get linseed meal
