ground they were excavated out Of and
the silage when full. The excavation
was about II feet deep, four feet being
over the surface Of the ground, banked
up as shown in cut. To keep back any
soakage, q six-inch drain was laid seven
feet deep all around, and a clay puddle
placed against the planks. The roof
was semi.circu1ar, and continued over
the ends to provide cover for the drays
when being loaded, and each pit was
provided with heavy chains, anchored to
bottom logs, and brought up through
the silage to the top over transverse
beams laid across top decking, and
pulled together by double ended screw
ratchets which pressed the whole down.
A carrier ont f -iron rails, hung under
the serown Of the roof, served to take
the bags Of silage to the drays at each
end. s$ S5S

was equal to about SO per ton Of ca

they are not the best, although the most

THE CHEESE WE EAT;
Most Of the Expensive varisties Heinf@
ting . Foreign Label Are Made
I'M This Country,


Many who pride themselves on their
gastronomic taste speak scornfully OF
American cheeses, but til perhaps nine
eases 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 q recent writer, are tho
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 tho
industry. The station has studied the
manufacture of Edam cheese and can
produce a cheese little if 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 Brio
cheese from abroad. for example.
comes In a large disk. which makes it
tnconvenient for use and expensive
for all except those who consume 1t in
large quantities. whereas the Ameri-
can Brie is made in msall cakes. of a
size convenient for family use The
sale Of Gorgonzola cheese, which Ia
still imported, is much less than 1t
would be If this cheese were made in
smaller sizes. ! E@*zS -, ! ~.
b.. Only two or three English eheeses
are now imported In large quantities.
and the so-called .English dairy cheese
is q native American product. Mean
while, enormous quantities Of Ameri-
can cheese. are exported to Great
Britain. Some English tcheesemakers,
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 be- .
great industry In the United States,
for the cheese thus prepared Is con-
venient and extremely palatable.

Wordsworth, though he rad the ap.
petite Of q healthy mountaineer,
drank neither wine nor malt liquors,
and this abstinence Sir Walter Scott
seems to have: found rather trying
while he was the English poets guest
q Rydal Mount. But there are many
good wayside inns in the lake country,
and into one of these Sir Walter
would slip during his daily constitu-
tional walk, and there drink q pint
OF honest malt liquor: It is needless
to say that when he and Wordsworth
strolled out together he would pass
the inn with a dry throat, for Sir
Walter was one of the kindest and
most courteous of men, and he did not
wish his brother poet to know that
the water and tea served at his table
were not wholly satisfying to the
Laird of Abbotsford. But one day
while out together they were caught
IN a storm and took shelter in the inn
where the Scotch poet obtained his
pint of heavy wet.'' As a result, no
sooner did the landlord set eyes on
him than ne greeted him with the
query: well, Sir Walter, ha'' ye
Gene for your pot o. ale?"
