HOME CHEESE MAKING.
Process CT Manufacture, Together
with All other Necessary Re-
quirements, Described in Full.

Where but two or three cows arc
kept it is better to buy what cheese
is consumed than to try to make it.
Where cheese may be needed it may
be well for two or three farmers to
go together and let one party make
cheese for all. Twenty-Five gallons of
milk will make a cheese of 20 pounds.
This will require a hoop about IL
inches in diameter and about the
same in height. The other require
ments will be the cheese tub to set
the milk in, basket, a strainer CLOTH
for draining the curd, and a press
of suitable size to accommodate the
cheese to be made. The milk should
be heated to about so or 81 degrees.
Soak rennet in a weak brine, using
about three quarts for one rennet.
One rennet will curdle about 1000
quarts of milk, and the quantity can
only be ascertained by experiment,
since they are of various strength.
but sufficient should be used to curd
the milk in 20 minutes. Cut in
squares of about an inch with a knife
that will reach the bottom of the tub,
the whey dipped or run off and the
columns carefully broken with the
hand. Heat the whey that has been
dipped off, or an equal amount vt
water to $50 degrees and turn this
over the curd so that all parts may
be scalded alike. Stir slowly and
carefully. Cover so as to prevent
cooling, and let it stand about 20
minutes, when the whey is dipped off
again and the whey allowed to drain
off. In about 20 minutes it will he
sufficiently cool to again be turned in
the tub, where it is stirred or cut up
fine enough so as to take salt freely
and through all parts of the curd
Put in about one ounce of salt to each
II quarts of milk. When salt is thor
oughly mixed with the curd it is
dipped into the cheese hoop, which
has had cloth previously put in it
Bring the cloth all about the curd
and put to pressing. The pressure
should be moderate at first, and as
soon as it is sufficiently pressed to
handle take it out and put in dry
cloth in the same press. This cloth
should be made to fit the press as
smoothly as possible, so the cheese
will be of an even shape. Put it in
the press, and let it remain until the
press is wanted for another cheese,
or about IS to "a hours. After TAX
ing from the press let it stand for
awhile, until the outside hardens AMI
then rub it with hot whey, butter or
other soft grease, rubbing and turn
ing thus daily until it is cured, which
will require some days.-The Home

USEFUL BUMBLEBEES.
They Are ServiceabIe in FertiIizing
Glover Blossoms and in Increas-
ing the Honey Crop.

1t was Darwin who made the state
ment that crop of clover seed de-
pended upon cats. Most farmers
think a good crop of clover seed de-
ponds upon a dry season, writes a
correspondent in the Central Farm
er. We have been thinking about
this matter and our conclusions are
as follows: Inasmuch as red clover
would not seed in Australia until
bumblebees were introduced, we lay
it down as a fact that bumblebees
are serviceable in fertilizing the bios
SONS and better crop results. We
claim, however, that dry season
is essential to a large crop of clover
seed of good quality, but does the
dry season affect the crop directly
or directly? We reason, again,
that bumblebees build their nests on
the ground and thrive better in a dry
season than wet one; hence the
dry season makes a large crop of
bumblebees and the bumblebees make
the large crop of clover seed. Now,
as to Darwin's claim that cats are
responsible for large crop of clover
seed. We have concluded that bum
blebees build their nests on the
ground. We also know that field
mice are fond of bumblebee honey
and destroy the nests, and cats are
fond of field mice. Therefore, we
arrive at the conclusion that cats are
good thing to have if you raise
clover seed, and we will in the future
protect the bumblebecs and do all
we can to increase their number. We
have been wondering whether they
could not be domesticated, or possi-
bly, a race of honey-bees raised up
that could extract the honey from
red clover blossoms and thus be in
strumental in performing the fertil-
izing act. Also, it is quite evident
that the farm or locality where
bumblebees are presentwill be a good
place to grow clover seed. There are
many more problems like this to be
worked out on the farm, and we
dare say that the farmer or garden
er who can in natures processes rec
ognize such interesting results will
never find his duties irksome.

CHEAP FARM POWER.
Much Can BE Done with a Fall of Wa
ter That Seems Perfectly Use
less to Many Farmers.

Many farmer makes big mistake
in allowing a water power, although
small, to run to waste. If water is
confined and allowed to fall from a
given space, say 10 by three inches,
there will be power enough to run a
large cutting box or corn crusher
with a capacity of rs bushels per
hour. With a stream of water IL BY
three inches, wheel 16 foot in di-
ameter may be built and fed as por-
trayed in the cut. The picture shows
a common overshot wheel, and full
description may be found in any good
dictionary. The buckets are Is inches
long. My wheel was first built on .

AHALF MILLION ACRES OF RICH LANDS
TO Be THROWN OPEN.
DIRECT RAILROAD NOW BUILDING.

The new extension now being built
by the Northwestern Line to Bone
steel, S. D., brings to mind the treaty
recently made with the chiefs of the
warlike Sioux by which part of the
famous Rosebud Reservation is to be
turned over to the government and
one more of the few choice tracts of
public lands now remaining, be thus
opened to settlement.
The land in question lies between the
Missouri and Niobrara rivers and is
we'll watered and fertile. Farm lands
near the Reservation are selling at
from $40 to $35 an acre, grazing lands
at from Sc to SIS.
The country is level or slightly roll
ing, consisting of black loan with clay
subsoil, making the very best of farm
ing land. 1t seems to suffer exception
ally little from drought.

COMMERCIAL VALUE OF QUIET
TO the Rest-HuntinG TOiIer of the
City 1t Is Greater Than That of
Any other Attraction.

At the beginning of the outing sea-
son, when the inevitable question is:
"Where shall we go?" the young and
vigorous have variety of possibilities
wherefrom to choose. But nerve
weary seekers after rest-a large and
Tapidly-growing class - confront an
almost insoluble problem, especially if
they must stay near the city, so that
the head of the house may go to his
daily work. Resorts are plentiful, but
New York itself is not more noisy than
most of them. writes John l.. Heaton,
in Century. The result is that tired
men who need change to country air,
and who are well able to pay for it,
often stay and stifie in their deserted
and comfortless city homes, simply be-
cause money cannot buy chance to
rest at night. Perhaps greater num-
Der of women more patiently continue
search for what they never find.
The commercial value of quiet,
brought to the attention of those who
need it, would be greater than that of
any other attraction of nature or So
ciety whose lure is spread in the adj
vertisements. Fortune awaits the man,
prosperity is ready to smile upon the
community, that will furnish quiet,
and let the world know that it is fur
nished.
1 venture to list some of the more
usual murderers of sleep, with hints
for their suppression:
Dogs. To one who has diffiulty in
sleeping, no experience of a night of
horrors is more maddening than the
barking of dogs. 1t is nuisance quite
without excuse, and easily abated by
a good board of health aided by eff
Gent police. AS rule, $500 dog
makes less noise than a 50-cent one,
and a valueless, half-starved, owner
less vagrant outhowls them both. Pet
dogs that, after complaint, continue
to disturb the peace present prob
lem; but as to the right course there
can be no question. The life of man
or woman-and even the doctors can
not tell how many thousands of human
beings are yearly killed by noise-is
more to be considered than the life of
a pet.
Drunken Roistering.-The curse of
many a village summer resort is the
curse of politics. The need of votes at
election time keep the authorities
from suppressing disorder. In one
summer village near New York a whole
street built up with pretty cottages
is rendered almost uninha bitab be-
cause boisterons characters have the
habit of making it their stamping
ground" Complaint is vain, and thou
sands of dollars worth of taxable
property is rendered nearly valueless
To another cottage resort not far away
a man went last summer with the in
tent of buying land and building a
summer home. The first night he
spent there he was kept awake until
two a. m. by the maudlin singing and
laughter of dozen voters with whom
no officer interfered; and the second
nights experience was the same. In
this case the money loss by noise to
the community could be reckoned
at great many dollars per hour. The
cure? 1t is perfectly plain; has been
printed a thousand times. Wipe out

NEW AIR, NEW WORDS"
Interesting Comment on Our Nation
al Songs.

Interesting comment on OuE Nuttoh-
al Songs.
Referring to an article in the Morn
ing News so headed, why is a new air,
or new words needed to construct a
worthy, a grand national anthem-We
have New Star Spangled Banner"
than which no more sublime national
hymn is heard on earth to-day. The
words the sentiment, born in the in
tense excitement of intense moments,
are living with the spirit of the patri-
OF, the air keeps step with stately, yet
eXhilarating movement, with the spirit
of the language. To speak of Amer
lea" as a national hymn, is to be at
once slavish and farcical. The words
are the merest doggerel, not breath
ing of national sentiment in a single
stanza. They are as absolutely un-
worthy of consideration in one direc-
ton as are the words of Dixie" in
the other. We might as well speak Of
that Screech of a political faction,
known as 1.-The Battle Hymn of the
Republic" as a national hymn.
To all thinking men it must be a
matter of surprise that the society of
the Cincinnati, supposed to hold
among its membership, scholars as we'll
sideration of such rhyme as America"
when seeking words for a ma
tional hymn. The only hold
that America" has had upon
popular fancy has been the air
to which it has been sung, that of the
English national anthem, God Save
the King" 1t is an air, attractive to,
and easily sung by the masses, hence
popular in the extreme.
/ Gpan gain words hpfOra mo
America" and 1 fail to find the
slightest evidence of national spirit
We have Hail. Columbia" and we
have THE Star Spangled Banner
cite to me the name of the nation pos
sessng grander hymns. The grandly
sonorous Watch on the Rhine" the
spirit stirring La Marseillaise," have
to popular love as The Star Spangled
Banner"
Let, then, the Rhode Island Society
of the Cincinnati turn its attention to
the worthy nationay hymn of this Re-
public, The Star Spangled Banner"
and cease its efforts to nationalize the
narrow squeak of a sectional penny
trumpet.
Now as to Dixie" Mr.. Charlton,
whose prose is poetry of the highest
order, whose thoughts are clothed in
language always breathing the true
spirit of poetry. has forgotten the
grand war song, Dixie" written by
Gen. Albert Pike.
"Southrons. hear your country call
you,
Up! lest worse than death befall you.
To arms! To arms! to arms for Dixie -
Clothing such words. only La Mar
sellaise" approaches the air of Dixie
in it's power to thrill and move it's
hearers in the battle hour. But, of
course, the same objection applies
these words are purely sectional-were
written during our great war between
the states, when Pike fought for and
hoped for a separate nationality for
the states of the South as did every
honest and honorable native of that
section.
The nation does not want an air
to the words of America" it wants
a thoroughly popular study of, prac-
tice of. appreciation of THE Star
Spangled Banner" and of Hail CO.
