erage score, home-trade scale, OF the
cheeses cured at and below go degrees
in 1899 was almost points higher on
flavor and 2.5 points higher on texturel
than the score OF the cheeses cured at
65 degrees snd above. In 1900, when,
some cheeses were cured at the high
temperatures of rs degrees and 80 de-
gress, the difference In the scores was
still greater: Flavor 81 points; tex
ture, 81 points. These are more than
10 per cent gains, so far as scoring Is
concerned; but the real advantage OF
the cold curing is greater than this;
for many persons will not touch a
poor-havored, poor-textured cheese at
any price, who would consume or han
die freely a perfect article. 1t is only
by Improvement in quality that home
market can be built up which will
take all the cheeses the dairies OF the
state can supply. Many of these
cheeses cured at low temperatures
were pronounced nearly perfect In
flavor and texture by the scorers. One
says: 81 have tested the cheese (55 de-
grees) and can say that 1t is especially
fine;" another, 1.-The cheeses all good,
the 55 degree F. very fine;" another,
mos. eco degrees) and (55 degrees)
are very nearly perfect cheeses. Con-
sidering that they were made four
months ago we might say that no
cheese could be made that would show
better at the expiration of that time;"

Breeding of Diseased Fowls.

The fate of sick mongrel is to have
its head cut off, but what becomes OF
the diseased high scoring birds? asks
A. X. Boyle in Inland Poultry Journal.
Who would think of killing 95-point
bird just because its head swelled up?
1t would be doctored and fused with

Of weather If this is not true, why
do we see so many articles on the
treatment of swelled head, roup, etc?
About ten years ago l saw the effects
of doctoring sick fowls. Roup got
start in our midst from a poultryman
that lived on very low ground. The
neighbors that did not buy eggs or
stock traded eggs" because he had
new breed. The consequence was half

ed their birds very sensibly, while 9TH
ers dosed theirs with anything recon-
mended. Some of us used the Ratchet
on all sick fowls, good or bad. That
soon cleared things up for the better,
but each year a few cases would crop
out until all of that diseased blood
was bred out. There has been gen
eral change of breeds since and roup is
hardly heard of here now. l have not
seen a case of roup for several years.
1t takes grit to butcher right and left
among your pets, but always remem-
Der you are saving the lives of what is
left. Some claim they can cure roup,
but Just so long as they try it just so
long will it keep cropping out when

Gathering Gloves.

Gloves are now cultivated in many
of the tropical regions of the earth. A
clove-tree begins to bear at the age Of
ten years and continues until 1t reaches
the age of seventy-five years. There
are two crops a year, one in June and
one in December. The tree is an ever
green and grows from forty to fifty
feet high, with large oblong leaves, and
crimson flowers at the end of small
branches In clusters of from ten to
twenty. The tree belongs to the same
botanical order as the guava. The
cloves, which are the undeveloped buds,
are at first white, then light green, and
at the time of gathering bright red.
Pieces of white cloth are spread under
the trees at harvesting time, and the
branches are beaten gently with bam-
DO sticks until the cloves drop. They
are dried in the sun, being tossed about
daily until they attain the rich dark
color which proclaims them ready for
shipment. In this country and in Eng
land they are used almost wholly as a
condiment, but in France they are used
largely in the manufacture of certain
liquors; and to some degree they are
employed in medicine for their tonic
properties.

Surely the Great American Desert

Cold Cured Cheese.

The New York Experiment Station
made a number OF tests in curing
cheese at different temperatures. A
bulletin on the subject says in part:
Pure milk handled with the greatest
care to avoid dirt and odors, and
ripened, set, cooked, drained and press
ed after the most approved methods,
was made into Cheddar cheeses. Diff
ferent lots of these cheeses were made
at various times through two seasons,
the lots for each test being made from
the same vat of milk IL possible or
made from milk of the same herd at
very short intervals, in order to secure
cheeses of uniform quality for COM
parison when cured at different tenn
peratures These cheeses were then
placed in the station curing roors,

between cheeses cured at high and low
temperatures, FIVE comparisons includ-
ing all the temperatures given and
four, all except the two very high tenn

Dairy Notes.

to cleanse dairy tinware. Using scald-
ing hot water seems to be popular, but
this is not the best way. The tins
should first be washed in warm water,
and not till all the milk has been re-
moved should the scalding process take
place. After being wiped dry they
should be placed where the air will cir
culate through them.
We see that some eastern man thinks
he has found a way of getting rid of
all kinds of bacteria in milk. His plan
is simply to freeze it, and he fondly
imagines that the germs Of disease anu
of every kind of ferment are to be thus
exterminated. If the gentleman will
look the matter up he will find that
very severe tests have been made in
the way of freezing germs to death but
without much result. True, a good
many germs are destroyed, but they
are for the most part those in which
we have no. Interest-being harmless
The disease germs are those for which
we care most, and they are the hardest
to exterminate. Heat Is about the only
agent that will touch most of them.
We are glad to know that the gov
eminent of the United States intends
henceforth to inspect all dairy goods
to be exported. We have not yet
learned the details Of the inspection or
whether IL Is to be compulsory on all
dairy goods sent out. Unless the latter,
1t would appear to be little effective.
Some time ago an inspection was
talked Of that should be made only
when the men doing the exporting
should ask it, and the inspectors brand
on the goods was to be a sort OF carte
d'entree into good society on the other
side. We do not see how the United
States government in that case could
prevent all kinds of goods being sold
as inspected goods on the other side Of
the water. Certainly American laws
could not be enforced there, and we
could hardly expect the foreign gov
ernments to be benign enough to en-
force them. Let all the goods be in
spected and permit no butter or
cheese to leave the coast without the
brand Of the government upon 1t.

Bakers in France are subject to re-
strictions and regulations undreamed
of in England. In the fortified towns
along the frontier they are bound by
law to have certain stock Of flour al
ways on hand in case of emergencies.
The bakery not only has to be kept
clean, but the baker has to deposit
with the local authorities a certain
sum of money as surety for the prop
er conduct of his business.
The law also looks after his weight
and measures, which circumstance
places him in the same position as the
British baker, but in addition the law
regulates the price at which bread can
be sold.
Napoleon III ordered on one occasion
that loaf about equal to our quartern
should be sold for not more than six
pence, and this at a time when we
were paying eightpence and ninepence.
