this official, she used to alternately

Cross I'm Front of EnGines,

Zone Of the oldest traits in animal
nature" said an old time Illinois Cen
trail engineer, lis the desire of every
living thing to cross in front of the
locomotive. At first it filed me with
wonder, and used to lie awake nights
trying to explain it. Now it's grown
to be an old st0ry with me-
what goes in front OF the engine?
Why, everything. Let me see. I've
seen snakcs-and I'm a sober man,
mind you--sticlz Up their heads to see
what was making al the rumble along
the right Of way and then deliberately
start to crawl across the rails. I've
seen many a quail spring up along the
right Of way. hy along just ahead of
the engine and then shoot across in
front. Several times when I've been
running mile a minute the engine
has struck these birds and killed them.
In the old days l used to jump Il deer
ROW and then, and the chances were
he'd cross the track every time. Cat
tie invariably do it until they have
learned better; SO do pigs and all do
nestle animals. Even chickens will
run futtering across.

animals to stock farm and men

Curds and Cheese.

The rough outlines of cheesemaking
are probably familiar to every one.
Fresh milk is taken and curdled with
rennet. The curd is then broken up
and the liquid whey drawn off; the
breaking up of the curd, it's straining
and the subsection of it to pressure are
processes repeated several times until
eventually the curd has become of the
necessary consistency and solidity. 1t
is then set aside, usually for some con-
siderable time, to ripen, and during
this time great changes are subtly tax
ing place in it's substance, so that the
curd, which at first was an UNBEATABLE
solid, becomes gradually transformed
into palatable cheese.
Suitable external conditions. chief
among which is 4 proper temperature,
are, of course, necessary to bring this
ripening of the curd to a successful is
sue, but the real reason Of the trans
formation is the presence of myriadS
of bacteria. which find in the curd q
luxurious dwelling place, where they
can live and multiply. That in so liv-
ing they must abstract fOodstuffs from
the curd around and give out in turn
new substances is merely the natural
course of their life, but it makes all
the difference between curd and
cheese.-Good Words.
