THE CHEESE WE EAT.
ing Foreign Label Are Made
In This Country.

Many who pride themselves on their
gastronomic taste speak scornfully Of
American cheeses, but in perhaps nine
cases out Of ten they eat and praise
as an excellent example Of the foreign
product a cheese that never crossed
the Atlantic. Camembert and Brie.
according to recent writer, are the
only soft cheeses which are imported
in any considerable quantity, and they
are sometimes manufactured in tho
United States. It is conceded that
American-made Camembert and Brie
are not so good as the foreign article.
but the cheese makers of New York
and New Jersey have come at length
to produce admirable RoQuefort and
good limitations, If they may SO be
called, of many other famous foreign
cheeses. At the Wisconsin experiment
station much attention has always
been paid to cheesemaking and the
various problems connected with the
industry. The station has studied the
manufacture of Edam cheese and can
produce cheese little II at all Inferior
to that OF Dutch manufacture. French
cheesemakers, with the conservatism
characteristic of rural Europeans, have
neglected to adapt their products to
the American market, and the Brie
cheese from abroad, for example.
comes in a large disk, which makes 1t
inconvenient for use and expensive
for all except those who consume it In
large quantities, whereas the Amerl-
can Brie is made in msall cakes, of
size convenient for family use. The
sale of Gorgonzola cheese, which Is
still imported, is much less than 1t
would be If this cheese were made in
smaller sizes.
Only two or three English cbeeses
are now imported in large quantities,
and the so-called English dairy cheese
is a native American product. Mean
while, enormous quantities Of Ameri-
can cheese are exported to Great
Britain. Some English cheesemakers,
following the lead Of Americans. per-
haps. put up their products in Jars.
The sale Of cheese in small jars and
small packages has grown to b. a
great industry in the United States.
for the cheese thus prepared is con-
venient and extremely palatable.
According to the writer referred to,
German and Swiss cheese, Lmburger,
for instance, are initiated here, though
less successfully than some others.
The American made Neufchatel is
satisfactory product, and is eaten in
large quantities. AS to Italian cheeses,
they are made without any pretense OF
concealment wherever there is a con-
siderable Italian quarter, though the
limitations are not liked by the Italians
themselves, and cheap Italian cheeses
are imported in great Quantities.-Up-

DIFFICULT CHURN1NG.
q Problem That Has Vexed
Many Buttermakers.

Looking over farm papers during
cold weather. one frequently sees
something like this: What is the
matter with my butter? have
churned and churned and it won't
come" Or, Il churned all one day and
part Of another and then did not get
butter. We have sailed the COWS and
changed their feed. but 1t makes no
difference" f $780,.
/ have solved the problem to my
own satisfaction. Keep the milk warm
not only the cream but the milk also
from the time it leaves the cow un-
til it is churned. AS soon as strained
we set it on the stove until the surface
is wrinkled, then set in q warm place
until the cream rises. Unless the
weather is bitterly cold the pantry is
generally warm enough. I have, if
very cold, reheated the milk, say in IL
hours. and it fastened the cream ris-
Ing.
But II you have not a warm place
to keep. your milk set about it imme-
diately to construct one, If nothing
more than a few shelves behind the
stove. One woman took the drawers
from large, old-fashioned wash
stand, put in shelves, hung a curtain
in front. brought it to. the stove, set
her milk inside, and had no more
trouble all winter.
When the cream is ready skim It,
stirring we'll every time any is added,
and once day set the cream in warm
water, and my word for it you will
get good butter and quickly. I imagine
have arrived at SO advanced a point
in winter butter-making that can tell
by the looks of the cream whether it
will churn or not. Scald the churn
we'll and have the cream at about IS
degrees in winter, and it should come
In from 20 to 30 minutes. Cream from
Jersey cows is apt to be harder to
churn than from ordinary cows.-Ohio

Feed Cows Twice q Day.

Being fed twice a day the cows are
more contented than if fed oftener in
little dabs several times day, it not
only makes more work, but keeps tho
COWS on the constant lookout for some
thing to eat. And l, for one, do not
care to have them bawling at me ev-
cry time I pass before them. 1t seems
that the way of feeding cows that I
have mentioned, is the most natural.
Cows in pasture will eat until they are
satisfied, then lie down and thorough
ly masticate the food they have eaten.
It is then they do their best. They do
not generally fill up more than twice
a day, therefore, in winter we feed
bountifully the same number of times.

Meane.t Man in Illinois.

The Leaf River (1ll) Mirror thinks
the meanest man in Illinois lives at
Ceutralia. He put large proclaim
egg in the nest OF an ambitious hen
and found that the eggs she had after
ward laid were increased in size. Then
he put goose egg in the nest; the
aforesaid hen laid an egg just as large.
He was so pleased with tho scheme
that he put q whitowashed football in
the nest and awaited results. When
he went the next time to search for
eggs he found one a, high as football,
but no hen in sight. Securing the egg,
he saw engraved en- it by the hen
photography these words: "Tm no
ostrich, but I have done my best. )"
Later he found the hen inside the egg.

Alcohol from Potatoes.

The use of potato alcohol to furnish
light, heat and motive power has been
developed very rapidly and to very
high degree in Germany. Germany pro-
duces about St, 5000, 900 tons Of potatoes
a year, and uses for human food, stock
food and starch only about 100000
tons. The remainder is converted into
alcohol and used as power generator
for both land and water motors and for
cooking, heating and lighting. The al
cohol vapor Is burned like gas in chan
deliers and street lamps and gives
very bright light, In districts distant
from mines it is cheaper than coal. It
is claimed that ton Of potatoes will
generate as much candle power OF horse
power as a ton and half of anthracite
coal.

Rattlesnakes and Whiskey.

If a man jokingly praises whiskey as
a benefcent agent because it overcomes
the effect OF a snakes bite, tell him
why the whiskey offsets the rattler's
poison.
The bite OF rattlesnake injects into
the blood poison which deadens the
hearts action, and which, under GER
tain conditions, SO interferes with the
heart and the circulation as to destroy
life.
Whiskey is good for rattlesnake bite
because Vhiskey lashes the heart to
desperate activity.
If a rattlesnake bites you and you
cannot secure the help of a doctor, or
some sensible heart stimulent, by all
means fill yourself with whiskey-usirg

But don't you see that the action
which makes the whiskey useful In
combination with a rattlesnake's poison
is destructive to the heart and the

Does It Pay to Lave . Century:

Atlanta Journal
: "May you live to be hundred" is
common and very ancient form OF bless
ing. The idea Of long life as basis OF
human happiness and as reward for
yirtuous deeds, is firmly fixed in the
traditions Of the race. Yet there has
always been some question as to wheth-
or the necessary infirmlties OF advanced
years did not cancel their benefits. The
Seventh age" as described by Shake
spear, "sans everything" is hardly an
inviting picture. The trouble seems
to be in drawing the line where full
ness of years. becomes mere burdensome
senllity.
Mrs. Olive Cleveland, venerable
lady OF Lafayette, N. Y, recently cele-
brated the I02nd anniversity OF her
birthday. She was Is years old at the
battle OF Waterloo and at the time OF
her birth Napoleon was first consul and
George III was king of England. In
a conversation with reporter OF the
Boston Globe, Mrs. Cleveland said:
II pray the good Lord he will not
let me live to:.be 1O3 years old. I have
aged terribly since I was a hundred
years old and people began to notice
that I was having birthdays. When l
was a young woman of 80 I used to
do as much work as any of them, but
now / am getting old. It has been
several years since I was able to read,
and time passes rather slowly. After
you have lived a hundred years you
have acnes and pains you never had be-
tore. You begin to lose your memory !;
you can't see as distinctly as you used
to, and you cant hear we'll. You for
get how your friends look and you
miss the sounds of their voices and you
seem to be In another world. You
know that there is much going on Of
which you are not aware, and yet you
can't help It."
So what is "a good old age3" Is it
a hundred or is that too tar advanced :?
Is it so, then, or Is? The only answer
must be, that the matter Is relative,
and varies with circumstances. Some
people are old at IS. Some die OF old
age.at 40. It is almost an axiom that
youth is not entirely matter of years.
If we'll wlshers would add to their BEN
ediction, land not feel old even at

"The Footpath of Peace" is the road
way to contented old age. Long life
may be either curse or blessing. In
the springtime years is sown the har-
yest:which will yield bread or armed
men. II the planting be good-if the
