Scientific Cheese Making.

The cheesemaker should be more ac.
quainted with the scientific reasons
Of curing than many profess to-day,
and there is room for improvement In
this line which is pretty well recog.
nized by the dairy schools and expert.
ment stations. The growth and devel.
opment of the bacteria which cure the
cheese are something that can be un.
derstood so well that 1t 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 1t a certain flavor, and
when the curing should cease. 1t is
impossible for any farmer or factory
to produce uniform grades OF cheese
otherwise. On some farms the cheese
produced varies SO much that 1t would
be impossible to say that the different
grades Were made by the same man.
This Is not due so much to the differ.
ence In the cows and milk as in the
process Of making and curing. Some
cheese should be cured much faster
than others, and again the reverse is
the case. Unless one understands the
reasons for this it is impossible to
produce like results. Every cheese.
maker 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 case
different treatment is demanded. The
moist cheese will cure much faster
than the stiff and dry cheese, and
" the two are handled alike uniform
quality cannot be expected.
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. Tempera.
ture probably is the most important
and intractable of these factors, and
II is something that requires persist.
ent study. A proper temperature IN
the curlng-room will often produce
good cheese, even when other condl
tions are against the work. The TEN.
perature should at first be kent be.
tween sixty-fve and seventy degrees.
and lowered then gradually to sixty
degrees. In the spring Of the year the
temperature should be kept higher. as
the cheese should be cured faster.
In the winter sometimes the tempera.
ture toward the end can even descend
as low as fifty degrees. but the cheese
maker must be very careful nt such
times. Good ventilation is essential
and also certain amount OF light
The regulation Of the light bears an
important part In the making Of cheese.

Preaching Was Not Long.

Preaching Was Not Long.
At Lorfmer hall, fremont temple,
Monday evening, at the monthly meet
ing Of the Congregational club, Leon
II. Vincent spoke on Kings Of the
Colonial Pulpit" giving a history Of
the Mather family and their habits
He said the Puritans were always
craving for learning and wisdom, and
that they had no sooner landed in
America than they began making
books. The continual studiousness
OF the Puritans, said Mr.. Vincent, Is
what makes New England today the
great hive of books and authors. Be
sides studying the Puritans spent
their spare time IN prosecuting here
tics and drinking strong drinks, but
the only habit Of the three that has
chung to their descendants is that Of
reading.
The sermons were long-winded. and
IN an hour the minister usually only
got started An old record says:
MT. Hooker preached two hours and
seventeen minutes while not feeling
well. How long he would have talk
ed II he was in good health! A Har
ward student wrote of a minister that
preached to the students: "He
preached two hours, and much to ouI
regret, he had to stop" The people
PAID to hear sermons on the tacit
condition that the preacher would
speak a certain length of time. The
audience would lock- at tho Sand dp1a &c
to see that they got their moneys
worth.
Mr.. Vincent said Cotton Mather
was probably the smartest boy in the
family, and at the age of eighteen he
mad received his degree from his
own father, Richard, President of Har
ward. The subject of his thesis was
Hebrew, Vowel Points are Divine in

Union That Funds Will
Not Allow 1t.

and its demands when they are reason
able. as long as l am health commits
sloner of st. Paul. but if you are de-
termined in this matter then | will

the garbage collection in this city"
This is what Health Commissioner
Ohage told a delegation from the
Ieamsters' union that called upon him
yesterday to request an advance in
wages for the teamsters engaged in the
garbage department. Dr. Ohage is
paying $75 per month and the delega-
ton asked $50, the figure now being
paid by the engineering department.
Because of a lack of funds. DR..
Ohage informed the delegation that it
would be impossible to pay the figure
asked, but if the bill giving to the de-
partment the revenue accruing from
the sale of garbage passed the legis-
iature. he promised to at least give an
Increase of IS month during the
summer period.
Last year Health Commissioner
Ohage voluntarily raised the pay of
the transfers SIS month. He says if
the union insists he VIII simply have
to give up this particular department
and let City Engineer Rundlett handle
1t. He fears, and went so far as to
tell the delegation so. that If the price
OF labor increases it will only be a
question of time when some reform
council will force return to the old
contract system.

WOULD RAISE
LABORERS' WAC. S
Chief Engineer Proposes In
crease in Pay Of Street
Force.

A general advance in wages for the
men in his employ, to take effect May
l, is proposed by City Engineer Rund-
lett. The new scale is confined strict
ly to the street force. and. if adopted
by the council, will mean an advance
/ of about $4,000 for city labor over last
year.
By the new scale ordinary laborers
are advanced from II u cents per hour
to 20 cents. sewer laborers from 171a
cents to % cents an hour. sewer pick
ers from % to % cents and hour.
shovelers on the night sweeping force
from 1712 to % cents and hour, and
foremen from 81 to $3.50 a day.
Mr.. Rundlett yesterday submitted
the new scale to the assembly COM
mittee on streets. and it was approved
to the extent that it will come before
the regular body at its next meeting
for confirmation.
The idea of more wages for city labor
came from the board of aldermen
where Aid. Hinkens first started the
agitation by proposing rate of $3.50 a
day and free uniform for the street
sweepers. Aid. Bantz next proposed a
flat rate of $40 a week. and. after a
lengthy battle, 1t was passed, only to be
defeated in the assembly. which re-
ferred the entire controversy to City
Engineer Rundlett.
In rendering the new scale for ap-
prevail yesterday, Mr.. Rundlett said
that if compelled to pay the rate in
sisted on by some of the aldermen, it
would simply bankrupt his depart
ment and compel him to employ less
men.
AS it is, he says. the advance will
cut heavily into his revenues. but he
hopes to pull through by fixing May 1
as the date of commencement.
