John WenIey,n Quarrel.

John Wesley once had q disagree
ment with Joseph Bradford, his travel
ing companion of many years, and
they agreed to part. They retired for
the night, each firm In his determina-
ton and each doubtless deploring in
his heart the separation soon to follow
between two friends who had been so
devoted and mutually helpful. In the
morning Wesley asked Bradford if he
had considered during the night their
agreement to part.
"Yes, sir" said Bradford.
"And must we partT' inquired Wes-

grimly.

he followed Wesley's example and for

Thousands of years ago q mineral
having the strange power Of attracting
iron was found in the country ancient
ly called Magnesia, in Asia Minor. The
name of this country has given Us the
word magnet" This mineral. which
Is now called the lodestone (not load
stone), attracted the attention Of the
curious, and 1t was discovered that Z
piece of iron which had been rubbed
with the lodestone acquired the same
power of attracting iron. In other
words. the piece Of iron became a mag
net. 1t was afterward found that such
an iron or artificial magnet could be
used like the lodestone itself to convert
other pieces or iron into magnets by
rubbing. Still more recently a mode
of making magnets by means Of cleo
tricity was discovered-that Is. BY
wrapping a piece Of insulated wire
many times around the bar and then
causing a current Of electricity to pass
through the wire. The familiar small
toy magnets are simply steel bars
which have been rubbed few times
against powerful magnets.-St Mich

Japan's Hairy Amos.

A traveller in Japan thus describes
the hairy Amos of that country: "The
men are about the middle height, broad
chested, broad shouldered, thick set,
very strongly built, the arms and legs
short, thick and muscular, the hands
and feet large. The bodies, and espe-
cially the limbs, of many are covered
with short, bristly hair. I have seen
two boys whose backs are covered with
fur as fine and soft as that of a cat.
We were ferried over a river by an
Aino completely covered with hair,
which ON his shoulders was wavy like
that Of a retriever and rendered CLOTH
ing quite needless either for covering
or for warmth. A wavy black beard
rippled nearly to his waist over his
furry chest, and with his black locks
hanging in masses over his shoulders
he would have looked thorough saw
age had 1t not been for the exceeding
sweetness Of his smile and eyes,"

FARM DAIRY CHEESE PRESS.

methods used in the manufacture Of
several varieties of cheese. Details of
management, which are briefly and
plainly described, include aeration and
cooling, coloring, the use of rennet, cur
ding, cutting, cooking. molding, press
ing, dressing, sailing and curing. The
operation of pressing is explained as
follows. The press may be a simple
lever and weight described as follows:
The lever should be about twelve feet
long. A broken wagon tongue answers
the purpose very well. Set strong
box, on which the mold may be placed,
about three feet from a wall, post or
tree On the latter nail slat and un-
der 1t put one end of the lever. Put
circular board about six inches In d.
ameter upon the mold, and on this rest
the stick or lever. A pail containing a
few cobblestones will answer for the
weight. Do not apply full pressure at
first, but let the weight hang about
halfway between the mold and the
outer end of the stick. Let the cheese
remain a few hours in the press, then
take out and dress.
The ordinary process by which our
American cheese is made In factories
is not applicable to the farm dairy be-
cause II takes too much time and is so
complicated that it requires years Of
practice to become sufficiently familiar
with the varying conditions in which
milk comes to the vat The various
changes that take place in milk, and
which are troublesome In making
cheese, nearly all develop in the nights
milk kept over until the following
morning. So II milk Is made into
cheese Immediately after 1t Is drawn
no difficulty need be experienced. BY
employing a simple and short method
Of manufacture any one at all accus-
toned to handling milk can with the
appliances found In any well regulated
farm home make uniformly good
cheese.

FARM DAIRY CHEESE.

Plain Directions For Cheese Making
In the Household.
There is a popular impression that
the manufacture of cheese in this coun-
try has been so completely transferred
TO the factory system during the last
half century as practically to abolish
cheese making on dairy farms. But the
agricultural returns of the twelfth
United States census show that in the
year 1899 there were still 1860 farms
upon which dairy cheese was made.
The quantity produced on these farms
during that year was 16,3I2,33O
pounds, an average of 1,045 pounds per
farm. This product constituted almost
51a per cent OF all the cheese made in
the United States.
