Couldn't Stand suns Rays.

Several farmers from different parts
OF Gloucester County have been at
Clayton trying to get help during the
harvest. Knowing that the glass fac
tories were not running now they Of
fered good inducements to the idle men
to go into the field. Several concluded
to try 1t, but they found the sun hotter
in one sense than the flaming furnace
beside which they work for hours APP
parently unmindful Of the heat. One
young blower who tried pitching hay
declares he eve suffered so in all his
experience. The men would not work
more than one day, no matter how
great the inducement. Some of the
boys, however, are sticking to it. but
the farmer is compelled to give FREE
quent s'tempos,' else the lads would
quit. The farm help problem is q Sc
rious one this year, and there is a pos
sibility that considerable truck will not
be gathered on account Of a scarcity Of
help.

Benefits Of the Home Separator.

F ~ - AA0 A4OAA0 0CPWAAAUIe
My experience is that more separa-
tors are being used than has been the
case. There certainly is a change OF
farm practice in this respect. Home
skimming has several advantages over
creamery skimming, among which may
be enumerated the following: The work
of the dairy is more quickly done. The
fresh skinned milk is warm and
ready for the feeding Of the calves. It
is not half water, as is too often the
case with the creamery product.
The careful dairyman need not run
the risks Of disease among calves due
to the reckless management Of some
creamery patron.
He will have no quarrel with neigh
Dor or creamery manager over getting
his share Of the skinned milk. A
great saving in hauling milk to the
creamery is made, for he delivers only
the cream ready for ripening. and this
is but four or five per cent. at most Of
the total weight Of the milk. Cooper
alton in hauling the cream to the
creamery can be easily arranged. I
know Of eight neighbors who thus CO.
operate, all having s%eparators, who
take turns in hauling the cream Of the
other seven. Thus each man takes the
cream Of eight for a week, when an
other takes his turn in succession;
hence each man is on duty n week
in eight, instead of having the daily
round Of milk delivery. with often the
tedious waiting for the SKINNED milk
before returning. There are other adj
vantages that will suggest themselves
to the thoughtful dairyman, among
which is that the quicker milk is sep
arated after 1t is drawn from the COW
the finer will be the cream. Fruit

Home Made Cheese.

Home made cheese a be made at

of all cheese. Go to any store and
get some ready-prepared rennet tab
lets. Having these and your milk,
you are ready for manufacturing.
Bring the milk to a temperature Of
eighty-ive degrees Fahrenheit. Put it
in a tub o large churn, which must
be very clean and sweet. Stir in the

water; cover the vessel with a clean
cloth, and let it stand one hour. Be-

tinue the process until the whey sup
ply is completely exhausted. Now wet
a cloth in whey, and spread it in an
ordinary bucket. Lift the curd into
this bucket. place over some vessel so
that all the extra whey may pass out.
Then heat some Of the whey, to about
100 degrees, and pour it slowly over
the curd. Work it well with the hands.
and then salt it to suit the taste. It
is now time to get your cheese hoop,
which it is presumed you have pre-
viously provided for the occasion. Line
it with a clean CLOTH, first made wet
with whey, and place it on a clean
plank. Put in the curd and close the
corners of the cloth smoothly over it.
Place on top a v just large enough
to fit inside the hoop. and weigh 1t
down. In twelve to fifteen hours
take the cheese out Of the hoop and
turn it over, after removing the cloth
and putting another clean one In its
place. Let it remain thus twenty-four
to thirty-six hours, then take it out;
keep in a tolerably warm room till

Curious Facts About Egg.

It is rather curious to know just low
much pressure an egg will stand. The
following tests, given In a scientific
journal, may surprise readers. Eight
ordinary hens eggs were found only
to give way under a pressure applied
all round Of between 400 and 675
pounds on the square inch Of surface.
When the tests were applied internally
to twelve eggs they yielded at pres
sures Of thirty-two pounds to sixty-five
pounds per square inch. The pressure
required merely to crush the eggs was
between forty pounds and seventy-fve
pounds per square inch. The average
thickness OF the shells was thirteen
~thousandths Of an inch.-Chicago Jour-

Trenton, N. Thomas G.. Barker,
who was sentenced to five years in
State Prison for shooting the Rev. John
Keller, Of Arlington, was paroled by
the Board of Pardons at a session held
in Jersey City. He was convicted in
Hudson County in June, 1901. after a
sensational trial. 1t was said, but not
admitted as testimony. that Barker
had been prompted to shoot the Rev.
Mr.. Keller because the latter assaulted
Mrs. Barker.
The conviction was followed by an
appeal to the Courtgof Errors, which
sustained the judgment of tile trial
court and set aside the contention OF
Barker's counsel that he was insane.
During his incarceration Barker has
held the position Of chief mechanic.
He was allowed, practically, the free
dom of the prison, going about the in
stitution almost at will.
The pardon vas the result of a gen.
eral effort to save Barker, who had
the sympathy of many persons in the
northern part of the State.
