Yields of Cheese From Milk.


With ordinary milk the yield is abou,
2.5 pounds of cured cheese for each
pound of butter fat in the milk. The
per cent of butter fat in different
milks very nearly determines their rel.
alive values for cheesemaking. Pro.
fessor Van Slyke found by a series Of
experiments that with milk rang.
ing from 81 per cent to A per
cent the amount to each pound of but.
ter fat was PIP pounds of green cheese,
or 25 pounds of cured, five weeks. II
was found that per cent milk made
but "a pounds of cured cheese for
each pound of butter fat, but the better
quality of the cheese from the richer
milk was thought to compensate fol-
the slight difference in quantity. II
will be seen that a hundred pounds OF
4 per cent milk made ten pounds OF
cheese and hundred pounds of per
cent milk made twelve pounds of
cheese.

Status of the Farming Industry.


There are 10,43S,922 persons engaged
in agricultural pursuits, while all 9th.
or industries engage 1SS45,000 persons
One-third of the entire area of this
country is devoted to tilling of the soil
There are to-day 5,739,657 farms in the
United States, and the value of farm
property, including improvements, stock
ard implements, is $2O,514 ,0O1 1873. The
number of farms has quadrupled in the
past fifty years, while the value of the
farming land to-day Is five times as
great as the selling price of fifty years
ago. More than 100000 farms have
been laid out and fenced in by settlers,
principally in the West, in the past ten
years. Fifteen thousand farms were
given away by the Government during
1901. When the Indian Territory is
opened for settlement, about 1904
100000 acres Of fine farming land will
be offered for sale at low prices, and
farming will receive another valuable
acquisition to its ranks. There are $685..
100000 acres of unsettled land in the
United States ready for immediate oc
cupancy.
The total acreage used for farming
purposes is S41 100000 acres-an area
which would contain England, Scot
land, Ireland, Wales, France, Germany
Austria, Spain, Japan and the Trans
vaal, leaving sufficient room for several
smaller countries to go in around the
edges. None of these countries, or all
of them combined, would make a re-

ouHuTcu uuy WAS CeleDrateu at
Ocean Grove. N. j., ON recent Sunday.
After 800 little ones had sung songs
and received souvenirs In the shape of
aluminium cards with new pennies In
the center the Rev, j. o. Wilson, ID. d.,
arise to address them. He had selected
as his topic, ''The Best Thing In the
Worfd-Good Heart" Before repeat
ing his text to the children, however,
the good man spread out his hands as
If in benediction and said: "Now. my
little friends. am going to ask you
what is the best thing in the worldp"
Money. Money" came in shrill
chorus from the 800 interested listen
ers. And 1t is thus that the teachings
Of young Mr.. Rockefeller, who says
money is not all. and Of Mr.. Carnegie
and Mr.. Schwab, who sadly declare
that money does not bring happiness,
are ignored. 1t Is little wonder that the
good preacher was so startled that he
forget what he had intended to say.
But why should we consider those
children lost? They simply showed
that they possessed the power to OBJ
serve and had the honesty to state the
conclusions to which their observa.
lions had led. The difference between
those 800 children and most of the
grown people who pretend to give
their opinions as to the greatest thing
in the world is that the children were
truthful. Most of them, however. will
live to learn that money is not the best
thing in the world, even though It sc
occupies the thoughts Of men that lts
possession seems necessary to theli
happiness.

While we advocate blowing under
green crops, when they are not worth
more for stock food than for manure,
we believe that there are some soils
where this practice may do injury
rather than good If the soil is light
and sandy, lacking nitrogen, or when
1t is stiff and needs to be made more
porous, then almost any green crop Is
a good manure for it. Where it is low
and wet, and perhaps has too much
acid in it, a heavy crop of clover or
other green manure will usually be an
injury to the succeeding crop, unless
1t Is given also dressing of lime in
some form, and we would prefer to
pay more for good phosphate of lime
or fine ground phosphate rock, with
an addition or potash, than to use
either slaked lime or sulphate Of lime.
Yet in limestone soil we have seen
green manuring work wonders, and so
1t will on land recently cleared, where
the bushes and brush had been burned

wood ashes may be put on to grow

Success with Poultry.

Those people who do not have good
success in Matching eggs under hens
usually will not do much better with
the incubator. They may be divided
into two classes, one that is careless
and neglectful, and the other that
is altogether too fussy, who wants to
be stirring the hen, or feeding her, or
handling the eggs three or four times
day. For either of these to sue
coed with the incubator there must be
thorough reformation; determine
ton to follow the instructions given
exactly, and do no more and no less
than is explicitly laid down, and to do
it by the clock. This can be done, of
course, but how many can or will settle
down to those rules?

We may not envy the very rich men,
because we know that of all classes
they have the hardest work, the heavl.
est strain, the most worry and the
least real enjoyment The instinct for
accumulation, being purely animal,
overwhelms and deadens the finer
senses through which wealth may be
enjoyed. But we do envy the rich
mems wives and daughters. who need
strive for nothing, but have freely
poured into their laps all their hearts
may desire. And there we are might
lily In error. The unhappiest, most rest,
less women in this land are the idle
wives and daughters of rich men. 1t
is true they have fine houses. their
carriages and automobiles, their fine
dresses, their magnificent jewelry, their
state calls upon one another, their
grand dinners. their brilliant recep'
lions, and all that. But It Is all O
veneer 1t Is merely mahogany fin
ish upon a base of ordinary, common
timber. 1t Is not happiness, but only q
pretense of it-an extravagant attempt
at imitation of it. The great mass of
women without wealth, who work in
their homes. rear their children them
selves, cook the meals, mend the cloth
ing and do the thousand and one UNI
ending tasks of the housewife need not
envy those glistening butterflies of
fashion. The envy should be on the
other side-and is. The happiest wom-

Not overtaxed drudges, whose lives are
necessarily miserable, but the women
whose time and minds and hands are

within, and it is no mere pious precept
that the best satisfaction comes OF
service performed faithfully for some
loved ones-service that requires
thought and effort and application.
