The Japanese and Their Fans.

To the Japanese the fan is not mere
~ means to the end of cooling the
atmosphere. 1t is thing of meaning,
of art. 1t tells a story, and there is
even a suggeStiveness in the manner
of using or wearing it. The whole his
tory of Japan could be read from fans
if enough Of them were put together,
and every political event of Importance
is pictured On these airy trif1es. There
are different fans for every conceiva-
BILE occasion. Even dolls have their
own fans. and children have theirs.
The geisha girls have particular kind
of fan, and jugglers, too. use one with
appropriate decorations. There is a
fan used only at the solemn tea feast,
and war fan Of iron, covered with
lacquer. Generals have silk FANS with
iron sticks, and there is a dangerous
dagger fan. The bamboo water fan is
dipped in water frequently while be-
ing used to make the air cooler. The
ancient court fans of Japan were fold
ing fans of wood, decorated with silk
artificial flowers, and each noble fam
lily had it's own flower, that no one else
dared use. Color, shape and decora
ton of the Japanese fan all have their
meaning, the flowers and birds their
symbolism. Thus to give fan with
fight of white storks upon it is to wish
long life, while a cobweb design is for
mourning.

L have two old COWS past their use
fulness, above the average for milk,
one about 800, the other 1000 pounds,
writes a correspondent of Rural New
Yorker. How much meal will it do to
feed them running to pasture, and if
continue milking them will the milk
and butter pay the extra feed needed
to fatten them?
Answering the above, III. E. Cook
says: Henry Ward Beecher when
asked his experience in feeding hogs
said: Il paid s. for pig, fed him $40
worth of cornmeal and sold him for
IS. | made ST on the pig, but lost on
the meal" This is my experience feed
ing such kind of stock. These cows
have been milking machines, as evil
denced by their weight and age. They
can be fattened, but much time and
grain will be in demand. We some
times have similar case, and we lose
money feeding rather than have COW
leave the farm in poor condition. In
fact, one cow fifteen years old now
runs at large. We dried her UP last
summer, and she will on grass alone
get fat enough for Italian beef. Corn
meal at $27 per ton can hardly be eX-
pected to return much profit made into
beef on dairy COWS. If J. j. p. feels
that he needs a bit of experience, he
can begin feeding four quarts day of
corn and bran mixed, half and half,
and gradually increase to eight quarts.
If these COWS have not been fed much
grain, they may surprise the owner in
increased milk returns. L see no other
way, only a trial. Weigh feed, milk
and butter, and if no large scales are
at hand the general appearance of the
cow will denote her gain in weight.

Standing side by side in an old Long
Island cemetery are four tombstones.
They commemorate the virtues Of the
successive wives of one of the towns
inhabitants. A peculiar thing about
the monuments is that not alone do
they perpetuate the memory of each Of
his helpmates, but they serve as sort
of financial barometer to record the
husbands rising fortunes.
The first wife had q modest little
headstone. The second wife's memorial
was on the same order, but it was at
least two feet taller. The third wife
differed both as to style and size, being
greatly superior to either of the others,
while to the fourth and last was grant
ed the distinction of granite shaft.

A Munchausen Yarn.

Baron Munchausen, when hunting
for deer upon one occasion, encountered
a magnificent animal, but found HIM
self without shot. Speedily gathering
together a handful Of cherry stones he
loaded his gun with them and fired at
the deer, hitting him squarely between
the eyes, not killing him, however. The
deer managed to escape, but some time
later the baron encountered him again
and was surprised to see beautiful
cherry tree growing out of the ami
mails forehead, covered with blossoms

Milo was a G1utton.

Milo the famous athlete of ancient
Greece (born 500 B. CO., was victor at
both the Olympic and Pythian games
for six times in succession. On one oc-
casion he ran four miles with an OK on
his shoulder, killed the animal with a
blow of his first and then ate the entire
carcass in one day. An ordinary meal
for this gluttonous Titan was twenty
pounds Of bread, twice that much meat
and fifteen pints of wine.

MAKING CHEESE.
1t Is a Science That Is Not Under
stood by All Who Undertake 1t.

stood by All Who Undertake 1t.
The cheesemaker should be more ac-
quainted with the scientific reasons of
curing than many profess today, and
there is room for Improvement in this
line which is pretty we'll recognized by
the dairy schools and experiment sta
tons. The growth and development of
the bacteria which cure the cheese
are something that can be understood
SO well that it is possible to control the
whole process. The man who makes
cheese for the market should know
how long to hold the cheese to give it
certain flavor and when the curing
farmer or factory to produce uniform
grades of cheese otherwise. On some
farms the cheese produced varies so
much that it would be impossible to
say that the different grades were
made by the same man. This is not
due so much to the difference in the
COWS and milk as in the process of
making and curing. Some cheese
should be cured much faster than 9th
ers, and'again the reverse is the case.
Unless one understands the reasons for
this it is impossible to produce like re-
suits. Every cheesemaker has found
that in spite of his best efforts the
cheese Of one days work is stiff and
dry and that Of the next day too moist
In such a case different treatment is
demanded. The moist cheese will cure
much faster than the stiff and dry
cheese, and if the two are handled
alike uniform quality cannot be ex-
pected.
In the curing there are four factors
or conditions that must be considered
and brought under control. These are
temperature, air, moisture and light.
Unless we know how to control these
we cannot expect to produce the high
est results with the cheese TemDera-
ture probably is the most important
and intractable of these factors, and it
is something that requires persistent
study. A proper temperature in the
curing room will often produce good
cheese even when other conditions are
against the work. The temperature
should at first be kept between IS and
70 degrees and lowered then gradually
to go degrees. In the spring Of the year
the temperature should be kept higher,
as the cheese should be cured faster.
In winter sometimes the temperature
toward the end can even descend as
low as 80 degrees, but the cheesemaker
must be very careful at such times.
Good ventilation is essential and also
a certain amount Of light. The regula-
ton of the light bears an important
part in the making of cheese, and we
do not yet know all that it will do for
us. The moisture of course must be
controlled, but that is q matter for
each one to solve for himself-James

Wallis Bros. viii Can Vast Quantity
Vegetables.

Within short while now Wallis
Bros. will start their canning plant for
the season and Will thus put up tons
of fruits and vegetables for the Ameri-
Gus market as well as for shipment
abroad. Tue plant near the city is in
excellent trim for business, and these
enterprising gentlemen expect to make
q great success of theifs venture this
season. They have fields of fruits and
vegetables growing right at hand, aud
such as is not sold at higher prices in
the local market will be canned. The
first variety to be handled, quite like
~, will be tomatoes, and later on they
will can corn, okra and possibly some
small fruits. Tomatoes will interest
the workers chiefly for awhile, and the
splendid fields of tomato plants now
showing the rich, red fruit, make it
reasonable to believe that great many
cases of fine canned goods Will be
shipped out each day after the cannery
is started. The Messrs. Wallis operat-
ed their plant successfully last season,
but with the experience thereby at
tanned, they hope to do even better
this year. The quality of their goods
is the finest, as many consumers here
will readily attest.
