which remove it from the remaining
whey.
At this point take up the inner boil
er and place the curd in the two colan-
ders, leaving 1t there to drip into the
large boilers. This, the cheddaring
process, goes on at 80 degrees. Occa-
sionally change the bottom of the curd
to the top. When cheddared, instead
of tough, spongy mass, the curd is
the texture of cooked lean meat, elastic
and fibrous. About the same quantity
Of salt is required for cheese as for
butter.
When the heat is lowered to 7S de
grees, it is ready for the press. At a
higher point the fat is liable to escape,
and If too cold the curd particles do not
adhere. Bandages are easy to make of
cheesecloth. Sew a strip the circum-
ference and height of your tin to a
round piece the required size. Another
round piece will be needed to lay on
the top of the cheese before folding the
wall piece down on it.

The Chinese, if they have mastered
the mysteries of the laundry, have not

Commission Dealers.

Farmers would often receive more
satisfactory returns from goods shipped
to the commission merchants If they
would take a little more pains to put
Them up in neat and attractive man
ner and send them so that they would
arrive in good order and condition; but
the men who do this are apt soon to
find regular customers to take their
goods and do not need to consign them.
The inexperienced man, who does not
know how to assort, grade and pack his
produce, and the careless one, who will
not try to have them look their best, or
the dishonest one, whose goods are not
of the same quality when they are out
of sight as they are on the surface, does
not keep steady customer long and is
obliged to accept what prices the COM
mission dealer may obtain or be will
ing to remit And if he doubts the quail
ity of the goods he does not offer them
to his best customers, or try to get a
high price for them. He is ready to dis
pose of them at the first offer. Delays
In transportation are also responsible
for low prices many times, because
produce of perishable nature loses
quality rapidly and must be sold quick
ly after decay begins, even If sold at a
loss.

House Plants.

Many people have poor success with
house plants because their houses are
too good. They are kept at uniform
heat by hot air furnaces, which furnish
a dry heat, and the rooms are so care
fully closed against cold in the winter
that not breath of fresh air gets in.
Plants need pure air, and they need
moisture for their leaves as well as for
their roots. The woman who has a few
plants in the kitchen where they get
the steam from the laundry work, and
where the outer door is swinging open
often, or windows are opened to let out
the heat or odors, will have thrifty
plants though she devotes but little
time to them, while they may fall to
grow well in the bay window of mod
ern comfortable sitting-room.

Institute Lectures.

The holding Of farmers Institutes has
been of great advantage in many locali-
ties. Even when the chief spedkef OF
essayist has not been Of the best, and
sometimes just because he was not the
best, he has helped to t.sng out opin-
ions from local farmers whose ideas,
no matter how poorly clothed in Lam
guage, were adapted to the locality and
more valuable there than the opinions
of one who had obtained experience
upon different soil, in different climates
and under different conutions. There
is also in many places disposition on
the part of the hearers to ask questions.
They are not content to be told the best
way to do their work, but they want to
know why it is better than some other
way, that they may judge IL it will be a
better way under their conditions, or is
only better when conditions are better.
Every step taken in this way is step
in advance. Farming is not a railroad
where one must follow a certain line of
track, but often route through an un-
known territory where one must ex-
plore to find the best path for himself.

To FILTER Cider.

Cider is greatly improved by filtering
as soon as it comes from the mill. If the
very best results are wanted a charcoal
filter is necessary. This can be quite
easily made from an ordinary cider or
whisky barrel. Remove one head and
make Of it false bottom two inches
above the other head. On the false
bottom nail strips of hard wood. Be
tween these strips bore holes. Have a
faucet near the bottom Of the barrel.
Above the false bottom place three
inches of charcoal broken to the size OF
birdshot, first laying down a piece of
coarse cloth. On top of this charcoal
put another layer Of cloth and four or
five inches of clean, well washed wheat
or rye straw. Above the straw put
circular, hard wood grating with OPEN
ings an inch or SO square. Fasten this

Selecting Seed Wheat.
The experiment stations and farmers
who have trained themselves to close
observation Of cause and effect have
given evidence many times that the
amount and quality of the wheat crop,
and Of other grain crops, depends large
ly upon the quality Of the seed used.
The larger and plumper seed gives the
most vigorous growing plant It stools
out more, usually has sitter straw, IL
1t is not forced by the use of TOO rank q
fertilizer, by which we mean one too
rich In nitrogen, and therefore the bet
ter the crop. But there are other things
desirable In good grain crop. One is
to secure large heads well filled, and 1t
may also be desirable to have the grain
grow rapidly and mature early, either
to obtain the best result in a short sea-
son, or to escape insect attacks. The
best way to secure this would be to Sc
lect the earliest maturing large heads
to be found, and reserve them for seed.
The farmer who sows large areas may
think this too much trouble to get all
the seed he needs, but he should remem-
Der that If there is profit in doing SO
for one acre, there would be greater
profit in doing so on hundred. A mod
ification of this plan is to select in this
way enough to sow small plot very
thin, so that each plant will have 3
chance to do it's best, and then reserve
a piece of the best land to SOW that on
1t to produce seed wheat A continue
ton of this process for a few years
would result in the production of an
extra early, hardy and prolific wheat.
Even easier but less effectual would be
the selection of heaviest grain for seed
when winnowing it. We think the first
named plan the best, because the type
of the entire crop might be fixed in that
way, SO that a permanent improvement
would be made.-American Cultivator.

All the children were begging for a

tales that there was scarcely new
subject left.

Rose. Now, this kitten was black and
had long fur, but during the winter
it felt the cold, especially nights, so

"Oh, no. In the oven, the lower

The fires were out, and with the doors
open the oven was just comfortably

cook would call the kitten out and shut
the door before she started the fire.
zone morning she came down and
found the oven door shut. She was
very busy and did not even think Of
the kitten. Of course If the door had
been open she would have remembered,
but she started the fire, and good
hot fire it was. When Rose came down
she ran into the kitchen and looked
around eagerly.
Where is KittyY she asked.

bed had made her head little mud
