The Secret of Success Is I'm Curing
and Packing.

The popularity Of the imported fancy
cheeses in this country has induced
many home manufacturers to initiate
these, writes James Ridgway in the
Boston Cultivator. Thus we have the
Western Swiss imitation cheese, the
American Stilton and other limitations.
But there is more fertile field for the
cheesemaker than initiating these for
eign standard articles of the cheese
makers art and skill. Good American
cheese will esta blish itself in the favor
of the people who can pay good prices
for it, but the trouble is that not suffi-
cient attention is given to the subject
by the majority.
There are some makers, however,
who seem to have grasped the situa-
ton, and they are making fancy Ameri-
can cheese and putting it upon the
market in dainty little packages. The
most popular package seems to be the
china and earthenware cup, which be-
sides looking attractive keeps the cheese
in good condition for long time and
is very handy for the buyer. There are
other makers who simply wrap the
cheese in squares or rolls in prepared
paper and then with tin foil This is
just as good az the more expensive
china receptacles. The point to be OBJ
served is that the packages keep the
cheese in a moist. sweet condition in
definitely, and that they are not expen-
sive
The quality of this cheese is consid
erably higher than that of the ordinary
cream cheese that comes from the aver
age cheese factory in this country. 1t is
made of rich cream and milk, is cured
better, is not tough and elastic, but
soft and pliable, and is perfectly adapt
ed to spreading on bread Or using with
pie. 1t has more taste and flavor than
most of our common cheese. The great
fault with our ordinary full cream or
part cream cheese is that it is favor
less. One might eat it and not know
just what he was chewing.
The trouble all comes in the curing.
Our methods are probably all right,
but we hurry the cheese to market in
such short time after it has been
made that it has neither taste nor fla
vor. We cannot expect it to improve in
flavor in the ordinary store or ware
house. The curing must be done and
perfected at home under the most ap-
proved conditions and under constant
watchfulness. It cannot be made sweet
and highly favored otherwise. We have
cheesemakers who can do this, but they
are unwilling, as a rule, to take the
time There is consequently an opening
for enterprising farmers who will take
the time to cure highly favored cheese
and ship it to market in neat, fancy
packages. Such cheese would in time
get line of customers who would take
it regularly in preference to others, and
the price would be double what our
common cheese brings.

Cost of 81 Growing Cow.

The lecturer of the New Hampshire
grange has been making an estimate of
how cheaply heifer calf can be raised
until it is Is months old, by which
time the heifer may begin to pay her
way. Assuming the calf to be dropped
the list of October, he estimates the
cost of feeding it on skimmilk thick
ened with ground faxseed and some
hay for the first months, or 81 weeks,
at $685. The next three months, bring
ing it to the pasturing season, cost
nearly GA cents per week, at 1898.
Pasture will vary with locality and is
reckoned extremely low, calves being
often pastured for 81. so to 50. so for
the season. The last three months cost
1874 making total for Is months OF
$2S 81. The lecturer adds that if there
be much increase of expensive foods,
like faxseed, the cost of growing the
calf will be considerably increased
These figures are strongly confrmatory
of the belief of many old farmers that
it does not pay to grow heifer calf
into a COW, and that it is cheaper to
buy the cow after all these costs and
the risk Of loss have been borne by
somebody else. It is a fact, however,
that COW grown On the farm and al
ways used to it will be generally bet
ter cow than she will if sold to be sent
to some other place. The cow has a
great love for the home where she was
brought up, and instances have been
known, where they have been sold to
distance, of their escaping in the night
and making their way to the familiar
barnyard where they were reared.

THE FINGER TIPS.
Their Remarkable Value I'm the Iden-
tificatiOn of Criminals.

In detective novels finger prints left
by criminals, preferably in blood, play
an important part, but truth seems
stranger than fiction in the fact that
the finger print system OF Identifying
criminals in India has been made so
perfect that it would enable any intelli-
gent person in few minutes to d1st1E-
gish the individual, if necessary, from
all other persons now living in the
world, or, if data were available, from
all other persons who have lived since
the creation Of man.
The system is simplicity itself, and
there is none CT the elaboration OF proc
ess or the costly and delicate machinery
required for the anthropometric system.
All that is needed is piece OF tin,
sheet Of paper and some printers ink
The linked impressions of the ten diglts
are taken and filed in the proper COM
partment of the proper pigeOnhole, and
it is on the classification of records and
their distribution into the pigeonho1es
that the success of the system depends
Every finger mark shows lines Of the
"loop," or the ''whorl'' type, and by
simple table of the combinations OF
these types in the ten digits 1924 main
classes are made. These are again sub
divided according to minor details, and
the subdivisions can be further divided
ad infnitum if necessary, but with the
table before him any person of ordinary
intelligence can place his finger on the
corresponding card to a record in his
hand within five minutes, no matter
how many thousand cards there may be.
It is calculated that the chances are
about "a, OOO 600 to 1 against any two
persons having single fingers identical,
and the chances against all ten fingers
being identical go beyond mathematics
altogether.

His Sarcastic Reply to the Private
Boarding House LandIady.

Mr. Smithers is a somewhat fastldlOus
young man who is looking for a new
boarding place. Smithers can't abide
the regulation boarding house, and al
ways tries to live with a private fam
lily. He is now convinced that an cad. "
which solicits boarders for mice pri-
vate family" is often snare for stutfy
double fiat, inhabited by one small fam
lily and "a boarders.
Smithers called one day last week at
a place with a glowing description just
on the flank of Michigan avenues aris-
tocracy.
''Huml Suspiciously like boarding
house." thought Smithers as he took in
the dimensions. A collarless negro serv-
ant who opened the door confirmed his
suspicious, but he had gone too far
then to back out. A sharp nosed, snippy
landlady came in with top lofty air.
''Er-ah, believe I am mistaken,
he began. II supposed I should find
private family. By the advertisement
-hu-m"-
The laughter and the familiar board
ing house hum of IA clerks and ten
lady stenographers came up from the
dining room in the basement. The mis-
tress of the conglomerate ''private fam
lily" drew herself up proudly. "You
are entirely mistaken, SIR, she assert
ed in a grasping, 81 week voice.
"This is not boarding house, although
we have few friends living with us. !"
Smithers shifted the air. There was
a distinct odor of prunes and corned
beef.
"Well, I must say" he remarked as
he turned up his coat collar and fed
down the steps, ''that it smells like a
boarding house, madam. "-Chicago

Regular Flow of Milk.

Unless the COWS are so managed as to
yield the greatest quantity of milk pos
sible, every effort will be in vain to
maintain a regular flow of milk. To a
very considerable extent the manner Of
keeping a COW regulates her production,
and this in large degree regulates her
profta bleness It is therefore essential
that her management be such as will
best maintain the best possible results
in milk production. Dairy World.

YANKO-FRENCH RECIPROCITY.
Negotiations Hang Fire Because Our Con-

Negotiations Hang Fire Because Our Con-
cessions Are Unsatisfactory.
Washington, July 12.-It appears to
be the accepted view in well-informed
government quarters that the limit OF
concession has been reached in the
negotiations with the French authori-
ties for a reciprocity treaty, and yes
terday's conference did not bring about
any material advance in the negotia-
tions. France conceded the minimum
rate on the entire tariff schedule at
the outset, the difference between the
usual maximum rate and the minimum
rate being about 20 per cent.
KassOn, in return, submitted list
of articles on which our rates would
be reduced under the provisions Of Sec
ton of the Dingley act, allowing not
over 20 per cent. reduction on articles
agreed upon. The American conces-
sions, however, have not proved as
satisfactory in Paris as was expected,
and consideration has been given OF
late to extending the list somewhat.
Some further concessions have been
made on our side, but these have not
been sufficient to close the negotla-
lions. d. ..... .&aSc n

PaSteuPiZe6 Whey.

At a recent dairy meeting farmer
said that he had fed calves on whey
that had been pasteurized and found it
a complete success, but some skimmilk
was mixed with it. AS soon as the
calves are a week old cats are placed
before them, and they soon learn to eat
a good many whole oats. When they
are old enough to eat corn, that also is
given them, but corn is not given un-
der weeks.

A Curious Postal System.

In certain parts of Sweden, where
the most absolute confidence is reposed
in the honesty of the people, very in
formal postal system is in vogue. AS
the mail steamer reaches landing place
a man goes ashore with the letters,
which he places in an unlocked box on
the pier. Then the passerby who expects
a letter opens the box, turns over the
letters and selects his own, unquestion-
ed by any one.

Cool Your Cream.

In summer it is an item to cool the
cream to the proper temperature before
putting in the churn. If the cream is
churned too warm, the butter will be
loaded with cheese curd, with a risk of
it's being off color. Butter must have
grain and not mass of fatty wax, and
the temperature has much to do with
the appearance of the butter after it is
churned.-Dairy World.

Racine, Wis, July 1.-THE Racine
water fight is taking on a new phase.
The city has been in litigation with
the water company over an action
brought by the company against the
city to collect for excessive use of
water. The city demanded a test of
the waterworks system year ago, as
provided by the charter and resolu-
ton was passed by the council that
the test be held on July 26. Monday
night the water company presented
communication to the council, request
ing more time in which to prepare for
the test, saying that the company was
unable to give satisfactory test until
September. The request was turned
down by the council and the water
company will be obliged to submit their
plant for test on July 26, or will be
liable to have their charter forfeited.
