Creameries Do Good Work.

New creameries are constantly start
ing up, and some of these are CO.
operative. Every new creamery, it
started on good basis, is of direct in
terest to the general public. With the
immense increase in our population
the problem Of supplying a good quail
ity of butter at existing prices is a
hard one to solve. Certainly the mar
ket of the future will take all of this
product it is possible to sell. 1t is
to be hoped that the increase of butter
supply will keep pace with the demand,
as too high prices turn the buyers to
butter substitutes. - Farmers Re-

glance into the valley showed him
the signaled order to leave his post
and to retreat to the camp. The in

Craft kept on wig-wagging. The
fragment of shell shattered the
flagstaff in his hand. Another frag-
ment tore his left arm. Grasping the
red banner in his right hand and
raising himself to his full height he
made fagpole of his uplifted arm

Neufch.tel Cheese Making.

Neufchatel is a soft, white, and, az
generally eaten, entirely uncured
cheese, resembling in name only tbs
celebrated Neufchatel cheese of Swift
erra,d. Very briefly and exactly we
NAV define it as unskimmed milk, coag-
ated with rennet, allowed to stand
until sour, the surplus whey removed
by drainage and pressure, after which
the resulting curd is sailed to taste and
nodded into the familiar little cylin-
ders of the stores. This is an out
line of the process, but the questions
of ripeness of milk, amount of rennet,
length of time it stands before drain
ing and the pressure to be applied are
not easily explained on paper, and they
constitute the art of Neufchatel mak-
ing.
