OUR CHEESE INDUSTRY.
To sIake 1t respected in Eoretgn
Countries Requires Sensible Con-
gressIonaI LegisIatton.

A leading cheese exporter who is
quoted in the Boston Transcript states
that the total production of cheese in
this country at the present time is fig
ured- at about 265, 0OO,O pounds an
nually and that we export about TO-
100000 pounds of this amount. Hefo-f
ures that the home consumption is
about 260,0C0,OCO pounds, including
about 12,000,000 pounds of foreign
cheese that is imported. If these fig-
ures are correct our exports of cheese
are very much larger than they were
last year, which are given by the treas
ury bureau of statistics at 3S,19S. 1853
pounds for the fiscal year of 1899. Most
likely the Boston exporters figures are
exaggerated, but it is probable that we
shall show considerable gain in our
exports for this year. Since the cru
SADIE that has been made against
filed cheese, our cheese has recov-
cred some of the reputation that it
lost. There is a demand for further
legislation to prevent the counterfeit
ing of weIl-known brands of cheese. in
order to restore the prestige of these
different makes. Congress is being
urged to give our cheese-makers the
benefit of laws that will enable them
to compete with Canadian dairymen,
who have developed a large export
trade in recent years at our expense. It
is believed that with laws that guar
antee the genuineness of our cheese
products we might recover the former
high position they enjoyed in foreign
markets. 1t is pointed out that, Amer
lean cheese is in some cases bought by
Canadians and shipped to Great Brig
ain as a Canadian product, finding a
ready market. Our dairymen make
as good cheese as can be found in the
world and should have a considerable
share of the foreign trade. What they
need in order to occupy a more promi-
nent position is legislation that will
convince the foreign consumer that he
is not being deceived but is buying
cheese that is exactly what it is repre-
scented to be.-Farmers' Voice.

came to be fully understood, the fresh
air treatment, with instruction to
mothers, followed inevitably. When
one woman in a crowded district learns
the advantages of cleanliness her in
fuence is eXerted more or less on the
lives of those in her immediate vicin-
ity and many others are ready to avail
themselves of the privileges which she
has learned to esteem so highly.
A baby's change from pale, puny,
wailing illness to rosy health is appre-
Aciated by any woman, and the fresh
air sanitariums are patroniZed more
and more every season. One of the
pioneers in promoting these estab lish-
ments is Victor F. Lawson, publisher
of the Chicago Daily News, who has
devoted time and money without stint
that sick babies might receive the ben
efits of the treatment given at the Lin
coin Park sanitarium. The good ac
complished at this institution, now in
its fourteenth year, is almost incalcula-
bic and it's fame has reached almost
every portion of the country. DR..
Thomas has characterized it as "the
~divinely beautiful charity"
By it's means, thousands of mothers
have learned to care for their suffer-
ing children. baby, during treat
ment, is regularly bathed and receives

due time win universal recognition for
itself.
It's situation is favorable for such a
result, for who that attended the
worlds fair has forgotten La Ra bida,"
the reproduction of the convent at Pa
los, Spain, where Columbus took ref
uge and where his plans for sailing
westward were matured? In 1898 the
relics of the past, so generously loaned
to the exposition, were guarded by reg
Ular soldiers of the United States army.
Now its treasures, though incompara-
bly, more valuable, need no such attend
ance. DIR. Emma NJ. Moore, the resident
physician. assisted by Mrs. Ida n. King
and other CHEEKY nurses, are ,warding
off illness and death, the only foes the
small inmates need dread.
The building is situated on a small
promontory extending into Lake
Michigan, and here, during the most
suffOcating weathe-, pure, invigorat-
ing air may be found. All poor, sick
children are welcomed. The mother
or some responsible person comes
with them and remains to be taught
how to take care of them. The hours
are from $3.50 a. m. to p. m. The sick
child is examined by a physician, and
food, or, if necessary, medicine is
given. In many cases a bath seems
of first Importance. and if this is not
too radically IN opposition to the
mothers principles, is promptly adj
ministered. Some of the older chill
dren object vigorously to such an
unheard-o- proceeding and the moth
ers themselves often appear panic
stricken, but when the ordeal is over
the change for the better is so appar-
ent that the maternal heart is filled
with pride, and, after a few days, the
patient makes his appearance in

A GREAT FoRAGER.
wonder ms a Provider of
Provisions.

ST have a friend" said the captain,
in the Chicago Inter Ocean, who
lost confidence in Sherman on
the march from Raleigh to Washing
ton. In the march TO the sea and in all
his long marches before that Sherman
encouraged foraging. In the march
southwark from Atlanta detachments
of men secured the country on either
side of the line of March, confiscating
everything that could support man or
beast. Strict orders were given as to
the conduct of foragers toward the
people, but they were encouraged to
carry off all provisions and forage and
to destroy whatever would support the
enemy.
"Foraging under the circumstances
became part of the soldiers trade,
and Sherman's men were experts.
Among them all no one stood higher
than my friend Joe. He succeeded be-
yond any other man in our regiment,
and he often went Is or 20 miles from
the line of march, bringing in horses
and wagons loaded with flour or meat
or hay or corn, to say nothing of
chickens and pigs. He had many adj
ventures and rare escapes, and became
a sort of hero in the command Ger
tainly he was very proud of his work,
and was complimented for his sue
cessful raids by the officers.
'After the surrender of Lee and
Johnston, when Sherman's army
marched from Raleigh toward Wash
ington, there was a change in the pro-
gramme that disguised all of the bum
mers and foragers. The order was
that there should be no struggling
from the ranks, no foraging whatever,
that no soldier should even go inside
the gate of a front yard or back yard,
that no soldier should confiscate a
chicken or turkey or shoot a hog. It
was explained that as the war had
ended we were no longer in an en-
emy's country, and were to act ac-
cOrdingly. So strict were the rules
that a man was not even permitted to
enter a yard to get drink of water.
"There never was probably better
discipline maintained upon any march
than prevailed on that march from
Raleigh to Richmond, and from Rich
mond to Washington. We had every
thing that soldiers needed in the way
of clothing and supplies, and if we
wanted extras we were compelled to
pay for them. The men who had been
in the habit of roaming the country
at will and taking chickens and tur-
