the real cheese-making center of the
world. For more than half n century
cheese factories have occupied some of
the same spots where they stand to-day.

Western Reserve, boosted of the largest
factory in the world, or at least the fac
tory with the largest annual production
But as has been reiterated Mt many
times in the last decade, New York
and Wisconsin have come forward to
first place. Regardless of the matter
of present-day prestige as to volume
OF business, the cheese interests of the
Western Reserve are still no small item
and as carried on are typical of cheese
making everywhere. The utilization of
the by-product, whey, as seen in Ohio,
Is also worthy of description
The average modern cheese factory
daily takes care of the milk from 1000
cows. Such factory is furnished its
entire supply by perhaps hundred
farmers. The output of dairy of 1000
cows is about 25,00O pounds of milk
each day. The very largest factories
can handle but 10000 to $4,000 pounds
Of milk in twenty-four hours and the
output from such factory will slightly
: exceed eighty cheese per day.
All the operations in connection with
cheese-making are now done at the fac
tory. There was n time when the
farmers made the curd ut home and
took it to the factories for the final
processes. To-day in the dairying dis.

wagons with huge reecptacles filed

In the direction of the factories. In
not all Instances do the farmers haul
their own milk. On the cooperative
basis the farmers employ men whose
sole work consists in going from farm
to farm at milking time and collecting
the milk. Each wagon collects about
thirty cans on trip, and each can con
tains from thirty to forty gallons. More
men are employed in collecting the mill,
than are engaged in the making of

milk. Think of total annual output
Of more than 1,500,O00000 pounds of
butter, 300,000,000 pounds of cheese and
3,O00,000,000 gallons of milk. The most
facile mind utterly fails to grasp the
gigantic dimensions comprehended in
this wonderful industry, whose import
ance is infinitely greater than that of
all the steel trusts and beef trusts In
the world.
The Western Reserve was at one time
the center of the butter and cheese in
forests of the country, and though other
sections have perhaps outstripped 1t in
the race for supremacy, its products
Still hold undisputedly high place.
Dairylng is still the chief industry of Its
farmers, and through its lengths and
breadths is seen the old-fashioned
cheese factory as 1t appears nowhere
else. An Ohio correspondent tells some
thing about these factories and the
methods they employ.
Good Dairy Season.
The past season has been an eNcep-
tional one in the great cheese-making
centers of Northern Ohio. Ohio cheese
makers have Jared even better than
those of Western New York, Wisconsin
and Michigan. There has just been
enough rain in Ohio to make excellent
pasturage, which in turn is conducive
to plenty of milk. In some other big
dairying sections there has been too
much rain. Everywhere prices for milk
have been higher than year ago, and
the farmers in the main are satisfied.
Concerning the prices of cheese on the
market they have shown a general rise
Of from one cent to cent and half
pound and the price of butter has kept
up well.

try is increasing in volume rapidly, al.
though the uses for milk are multiply

cream, for example, requires more and
more of the cream which years ago

The staid London Chronicle is SOL
emily discussing the question, "Should
Women Work?" just as if women had
not been doing the worlds work since
creation. The first suggestion of labor
in all history is in the securing Of the
apple eaten by Adam and Eve, and it
was Eve who picked that. The ex-
ample then set has been pretty we'll
followed ever since. The Ewes are the
apple pickers yet. 1t is true few
women play the role of idle butterflies
but what of it? These are the ex-
ceptions that mark the rule. The great
majority of women toll increasingly
and with little direct reward. Man
at the end of his days work can count
up the money he has made and meas
ure the result. Woman's days work
has no end and no tangible profits. Her
only payment as she goes weary-hand-
ed and empty-handed to rest is in the
Standardization of having done well
little more of her amending labor of
love. There is nothing more pathetic,
were 1t not SO common, than the sight
so often seen-of the hard working,
conscientious mother who literally
wears out her life in unheralded toll,
thankless and not expecting thanks.
She has no "eight-hour day." Even a
twelve-hour day would be boon to
most wives who in the care of the
house and children are always doing
overtime" without thought Of extra
pay. Among the savages the women
do all the work, their lords employing
themselves only in the chase and in
war. The progress of civilization has

something for living, and this prog

HOW TO PRONOUNCE THEM.
Names of Cities that Are variously
Sounded by the Public.

Names of Cities that Are Variously
Sounded by the Public.
The suggestion has been made that
the proper pronunciation of the name
st. Louis should be finally determined
before the opening of the Louisiana
purchase fair in that city, and it is
urged the council of st. Louis or even
the Legislature of Missouri should
pass upon the question. 1t is pointed
out that an immemorial dispute over
the proper pronunciation of Arkansas
was settled by the Legislature of that
State in 1881, when it was enacted
that the pronunciation should be CAR
kansaw," and the State lived happily
ever after. The name st. Louis was
bestowed by the French when the
placs was settled, and the French pro-
nunciaton is Loo-ee, to rhyme with
the name Of Admiral Dewey. The En-
glish pronunciation is "I.ewiss," prac-
tically rhyming with the word Jew
ess. The suggestion, once made, does
not. of course, halt lamely at st. Louis
When the dispute is settled there it
is proposed to ask kentucky to declare
whether the name of that Common
wealth's chief city shall be Loo-ey-
vile or Lew-is-ville. And Illinois
might settle the point whether the
name of the thriving city of Joliet
shall be pronounced as the French cX-
plorer after whom it was named did
zholc-ya-or whether it shall be called
Jolly-yct. All this is exceedingly slim
ulating to the mind which keeps reach
ing out for wider fields, like the mind
of man afflicted with the habit Of in

Elijah Kellogg mlnistered for half a
century. The young people who read
his stories or declailn his "Spartacus"
have their own way Of remembering
him. Those who heard his striking

whether the tones reach the natural
ear, or only charm the inner sense
born Of the imagination. The sea and
shore lines of his parish, the lovely
environment of a typical pastorate, did
not limit his ministry; and the bell
which is to send forth its message of
bidding and benediction from its home
on Casco Bay will have its mission for
jewellers in far distant parts of the
country.
