The cheesemaker,s side.

y
There has been a good deal said in
the agricultural press about cheese
factories running only In summer. 1t
Is generally argued that they should
run the year around, that the produc.
ton OF milk in winter might be en-
couraged. That is an ideal condition
to be looked forward to and hoped for.
But for the present little can be ex-
pected In this way. The cheesemaker
Is compelled to follow the course that
Will yield him a profit. Recently Mr..
J. K. Biddulph of Bureau county, Illi-
| nois, gave to representative Of the
Farmers Review the cheesemaker's
side Of this question. He said: THE
cheese industry in Illinois is not i'm
proving much. for there is no one to
stir up the cheesemakers. In my i'm
mediate locality there is an improve
ment. but 1t is not general. More
hats are being made than ever before,
because many Of the factories have a
home market for them. Flats weigh
from 80 to 40 pounds, while cheddar
cheeses weigh from so pounds up.
There are four cheese factories with
In radius of seven miles from my
house. None of them make butter,
but some OF them run the year round.
Mine runs from April first to Deem
Der first, every day. do not believe
factory should run all the time. nor
do the merchants. They think the
factories should shut down SO they can
have a chance to work off their stock
OF cheese and fill up the following sea-
son on fresh goods. However, IL we
had milk enough to permit us to run
all winter, we would have to run. Dur
ing the month of December we gen.
orally run every other day, and that
Is the way the factories do that run
all winter. But it is poor plan to
run all the time. If it is necessary to
run every other day. A factory that
does that seldom makes enough cheese
to pay expenses in the months when
they are doing that. The most l ever
received in the month of December,
when l was running every other day,
was $50, and that did not pay ex-
penses. We are using now between
4,500 and 5000 pounds of milk daily.
| do not buy the milk outright, but
make it into cheese at so much per
pound. The patrons take the cheese
and sell it themselves. They 60 to
town and trade it for groceries, dry
goods and other things they need"

A Poor Mixer.

The Chicago daily papers not long
ago published statement relative to
the analysis of milk drawn from va
De Kalb, Illinois. Assistant State
Food Commissioner r. M. Patterson Of
Chicago MIXED Holstein COW, AMI
had her milk analysed. It showed
2.S per cent fat, a very low percent
age. This was published along with
the analyses of the other samples OF
milk taken, and Of course the con-
light. Chicago people took UP the agi-
tation and some even suggested the
passing of law prohibiting the sale
of milk from holstein cows. We learn
however from Mr.. Glover, dairy field
man of the University of Illinois, that
the daily papers refrained from pub
fishing very important sequel to the
tests. After Mr.. Patterson had drawn
all the milk he could from the COW,
one of the regular mixers sat down
and drew three pints more from the
same animal. All of our readers know
that the first milk Is the poorest and
the last drawn milk the richest An
analysis of the IL pounds drawn by
Mr.. Patterson gave 2.S per cent; an
analysis of the pounds drawn by the
regular mixer gave per cent. Added
together the result was fourteen
pounds of milk with an average
richness of 3.48 per cent, or As per
cent above the standard required by
the state law. 1t will thus be seen
that the agitation against the Hol-
stein was started as the result of the
exploit of a very poor mixer in the
| states service.

HORN OF PEACE.

Great Scheme Evolved TO
Any Family
you've heard about the horn of
plenty, of course said a young mar
ried man. Now let me tell you about
the horn of peace. Alice and l have
our little differences of opinion now
and thenI suppose all young married
people do-and sometimes 1t is not easy
to effect a reconciliation right away,
we are both so high tempered. Well,
the other evening we went into a deli
eatessen shop in our neighborhood to
get something nice for our evening
luncheon. We had Just had a lively
little quarrel and had made up. In the
back of the shop a little boy and a lit
tie girl, the proprietor's children. were
having a vociferous quarrel over some
toys. She slapped him; he kicked at
her; then she slapped him again; then
he pulled her hair.
suddenly on this unpleasant scene
appeared a third child, a baby boy of
about two years. He Immediately
scrambled into the melee and out again
with a tin horn, which he began to
blow nightly. He blew so loud that
it drowned out the sound of the quar-
rel. He went up to his brother and
blew the horn in his face; then he
went up to the little sister and blew
the horn in her face. The two wran-
glers stopped quarreling and laughed.
The baby kept on blowing the horn.
the other boy beat a drum and the girl
began to pound on a toy piano.
1--WE were served by this time and
started out. At the ~toyshop on the
way home Alice turned to go in, and l
said:
"'What do you want in there?'
I'm going to buy a tin horn,' she
said.
"'Goodr 1 exclaimed. Wen get the

rel coming on one or the other of us

Can Do 1t If He VIII Try.

A young man writes to us wanting
to know whether it is possible for him
to work his own way through II of
our agricultural colleges. 1t is If he
Is made of the right sort of stuff, and
1t has to be pretty good stuff. Most
of these colleges are so managed that
all the work a student is able or will
ing to do upon the college farm is Civ
en- him at a liberal rate of compensa-
ton. A young mar should get together
q fair outfit of clothes and not less
than 500, however, before tackling
this job, for he could hardly expect to
do justice to his studies and spare
more time for labor than would suffice
to pay for his board and incidental ex-
penses. Then if he should be sick his
nest egg would come in handy. An
education thus dug out by hard knocks,
self denial and perseverance is always
worth more to the boy han when alb
sorbed at the expense of sight drafts
upon the governor at home. A course
of study attempted on these ines
means no luxuries, mighty little ath-
letics, no girl business and quite likely
celluloid collars and ten dollar dress
and Sunday suit. Moses put in forty
years 1T this sort of work in the will
derness to fit him to lead his people,
and any young man who wants to be
somebody and do something can afford
to play the Moses act for three years.
The very best training for a young
man is to want a whole lot of things
real bad and not be able to get them.
Then after awhile he will learn to want
something worth having and will go
for it and get it-Exchange.
