washlrp curds.

Nearly all cheese makers are trou-
oiled at times with curds which have
an unpleasant favor. Some have such
curds nearly all the time during hot
weather, while others have them but
occasionally. As q remedy for such
curds it has been suggested to wash
them after milking with clean, pure
water at a temperature of ninety-fve
to 100 degrees. The plan of washing
Is also recommended for fast working
curds.
Some Canadian cheese makers go
so far as to recommend washing all
curds, good, bad and Indifferent. One
man expressed this view at the Cheese
and Butter Makers Convention by say
ing: washing does a bad curd good
and a good curd no harm. The dairy
department Of the Ontario Agricultu-
raj College took up the study Of this
question of washing curds last spring.
Experiments are not yet completed,
but so far as carried out we would
appear to be justified in saying: Wash
ing curds Of bad flavor improves them.
Washing fast working curds improves
them. Washing curds tends to de-
crease the yield of cheese. There is
danger in washing curds with Impure
water. Indiscriminate washing of
curds is unnecessary, and is 'shard on
the average"-or, in other words, such
a practice makes unnecessary extra
labor. and requires more milk to make
a pound of cheese. Curds should be
washed with brains as well as with
water-Professor H. n. Dean. In Farm
and Home.

The ORIGIN of Kissing.

That eccentric and somewhat un-
pleasant individual, Professor Lom-
broso, has come out with a brand-new
assertion. He says the art of kissing
was given to the world by the women
of Terra del Fuego. They didn't in
vent this good thing; they adapted it
from the birds.
The Professor doesn't say what
birds. They may have been long
legged fiamingoes or Mother Cary's
chickens, or silly sandpipers. But
they were q kind that bills and COOS.
and these curious women finally got
to noticing how they rubbed their
bills together and wondered what
there was in it, and finally tried it
themselves and liked If. and tried it
again-and there you have n of the
best discoveries of any age.
1t couldn't have been an acquired
taste-although those who have seer
the men and women of Terra del
Fuego might think it so. No, it took
right hold like wildfire. and it spread
like a prairie fire before a nor'wester.
And yet it is difficult TO explain how
Professor Lombroso hit upon this re-
markable theory of origin. Perhaps
he was led on by the peculiar "cheepy'
sound that is sometimes heard when
lip meets lip. He may regard this as
a survival of the Terra del Fuego ef-
fort to initiate the osculafing birds
II it wasn't this that set him on the
bird tack it is hard to tell what it was.

Cotton Mill Development.

The following from the London
Financial Times should be ofIinterest
to those of our people in this State
who arc interested in cotton mills:
"Some weeks ago one of our
American correspondents drew at
tcntion to the very remarkable pro-
gress made recently by the cotton
manufacturing interests in the South
crn States. The movement is signifi-
cant, not merely in relation to the
general questions of industrial ad-
vance on the other side Ct the At
lantic, but also because is II. ..ses the
question of competition with English
and other centcrs, which hitherto
have completely held the field and
have paid little heed to the indica-
tions pointing to the weakening of
their absolute supremacy. The
movement has, Of course, bccu of
somewhat slow growth, but in recent
times there have been evidences of
very considerable vitality stimulated
largely by the natural advantages
that exist, not only in the matter of
supplies of raw material and climatic
conditions, but also in the case in
which a plentiful supply of labor can
be obtained and in the exceptional
facilities for obtaining the requisite
materials, with the solitary excep-
ton Of machinery; in such circum-
stances il would be strange, indeed,
if the Southern States had not gone
ahead, as Providence has provided
them with bounty devoid of any
suggestion of artificiali,y. Practi-
cally all the mills, we are told, have
been running full timc--many of
them by night as we'll as by day
and as the tendency has been to
build larger works, thus curtailing
unnecessary expense, it is quite clear
that there has been no scarcity of
capital. The best evidence that can
be desired on this point lies in tho
fact that the increase in the average
consumption per spindle in the past
twelve months, rs recorded in tho
consular reports before us, has been
close upon six pounds. The North
crn spinncrs of course, still holds the
lead in America, but of late, at all
events, thay have been losing ground,
while their brothers in the South
have been making hcadway."

battle, shot and shell, carnage and
death, means and groans filled tho

general of a Mississippi brigade
leaning heavily upon the arm of all
aid passed us, exclaiming with tremb-
ling voice and fervent emotion,
"Whcre is Maxy Gregg? Oh!
Where is Gregg? l want the South
Carolinians to save us. Our whole
line is retreating."
Az this critical moment Gen. Nc
Gowan, who was in the front line
of battle, having been struck by
spent ball from the enemy, shouted
in a clear, determined voice, dis
tinctly heard above the din of bat
tie:
"Boys, give them cold steel! Pre-
pare to charge" In an instant bay
oncts were fixed and the first line of
battle Immediately around Gen. Nc
Gowan yelled as only rebels could
yell. The second line of battle took
up the cry. The third, and on and

guns and rctreatcd in the greatest
confusion, hotly pursued by the
