Fruit For the Family.

When fresh fruit for the family is
bought. it is eaten sparihgly. Where
it is grown at home there is little re-
straint. and even the children can have
as much as they want. We always
sympathize with the family of the
farmer who has no time to monkey
with orchard. vineyard or berry patch,
and we cannot blame his sons or his
daughters for taking advantage of the
first opportunity to escape from such a
scene of privation. says an agricultural
exchange. The most profitable fruit a
farmer can grow is that which his own
family consumes. They pay better
price than any one else.

in the construction Of q rack of this
kind.
The general construction of the rack
is crude. 1t was built of picked up
pieces of boards. When we built the
rack, we did not just know which de-
sign would be the most satisfactory
and for this reason did not take any
extra pains to make it fancy. We have
used the rack for three or four years
along with two other designs of racks
for outdoor feeding purposes and can
say for economy and for keeping the
chaff out of the wool we have been
well pleased with this one. We now

CHEESE PRINTS,
a New Suggestion For Attractive
Marketing.

According to statistics gathered by
the Storrs (Connectcut experiment,
station, the cheese most commonly
eaten in this country is like the Eng
lish cheddar and is known by tina,
name. In order to promote the manu-
facture of various kinds Of cheese IL
this country it is desirable to encour
Age greater consumption, Of it. Many
believe that marketing cheese in more
attractive and convenient form would
do this. Some of the higher priced
sorts of cheese are marketed in small
packages and jars, but the bulk of the.
cheese consumed is marketed in large
sizes, which are cut into slices and
sold by the pound. Such slices do moi
keep well, since the freshly cut sur.
face exposed to the air is large in pro.
portion to the weight.
E. II. harrington of the Wisconsin
station has recently experimental in
the manufacture of cheeses in small
sizes, the form chosen being suggested
by the pound prints of butter that
have proved so successful. The ched.
dar cheese experimental with was
made by the usual process, the only
modification being in the pressing and
in the follower used in the press. The
curd was placed in mold or hoop of
rectangular shape, the bottom or fol.
lower Of which was a curved board
divided into a number of sections, each
of which corresponded to half pound
print of cheese. The form of the prints
is determined by the carving of the
boards, which may be of any size or
design to suit any particular market.
The sections can be readily cut apart
when sold oy the retailer.
