large boilers. This, the cheddaring
process, goes on at 80 degrees. Occa-

of tough, spongy mass, the curd is

Labor SAVING in Farrninn-

1t is stated By the experts of the De-
partment of Agriculture that seventy
years ago, or in 1880, it cost little
more than three hours work to produce
and harvest a bushel of wheat At the
price then of cents an hour the labor
expense was is cents bushel. Now a
bushel of wheat is produced and har-
vested for each ten minutes labor spent
on it, as an average, and while wages
and cost of the use of machinery are
estimatedsat 20 cents an hour, the cost
per bushel is but 1-3 cents. They
claim that the seven principal crops of
the United States were grown and har-
vested in 1899 at a cost lessened by the
methods and machinery that have
come into use since 1850, by 1851, 500.

FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRACY.
bIarkei Change in Character of Party
Policy is Probable.

Market Change in Character of Party
Policy is Probable.
The recent defeat sustained by the
Democratic party is calling forth from
prominent Democrats expressions of
opinion as to the expediency of max
ing marked change in the general
character of the party policy. The talk
now heard of the adoption of a policy
upon which majority of<the present
party and the old-time Democrats can
get together is likely to form an inn
portant feature of subsequent develop
ments in America party history.
1t will be observed that the leading
members of the Democracy as it was
eight years ago declare themselves
strongly in favor of some such plan.
Mr.. Cleveland hopes that steps will be
taken toward the regeneration of the
Democratic party" Mr.. Olney in his
public letter early in the campaign indi-
Gated that he would be in favor of a
similar revision of the party policies.
Mr.. Whitney, Mr.. Dickinson and many
other Cleveland Democrats hold sub
stantially the same view. From Mr.,
Bryan himself, however. and from
some of his close followers comes the
declaration thar the party must stick
to its present courses, not even aban-
doning the doctrine of silver coinage.
PROFESSIONALLY the near future is
likely to bring about an interesting
crisis in the affairs of the Democratic
party. The fact that the party has been
vice defeated by heavy majorities can
not fail to have weight for merely po-
litical considerations and without re-
gard to the Intrinsic merit of the issues
involved. But reorganization it must
be remembered is in fact a practical
matter-an affair to be worked out by
he mechanism of party organization it.
self The reorganization, if it is to
come, must begin in the revolution of
Democratic sentiment, which will have
chance to express itself at the Con-
gressional elections two years hence
and in the State conventions.-Chica
