4 certain Turk, according to rumor,
Wns once married to a yelled lady ID
white in the presence Of the sultan. AS
soon as the ceremony was concluded
the bride mysteriously disappeared.
The groom was led into an adjoining
room, where stood twelve ladies all
dressed in white, but without wells.
Choose from the twelve" exclaimed
the sovereign, cher that is your bride"
AS the man had never seen her face the
command bewildered him. eff you
make a mistake" added his majesty,
your life shall pay the forfeit" The
poor man walked up and down the row
of beauties, but saw nothing whatever
to aid his choice. "You have only a
minute left" yelled the sultan in anger;
CHOOSE at once" Ten of the ladies, he
noticed, gave him nothing else than a
stony stare. One Of them frowned, the
other smiled. 'The frowning one," he
thought, els my bride, for she express
es her displeasure and Impotence at
my ignorance. NO." he said to him
self, lit must be the smiling one, for
she desires to invite me to her" After
debating the subject in his mind until
his time was up he boldly made Sc
lection from the two. He was success
full. He had regained his bride. Which
was she, the one who frowned or the
one who smiled?

Here is the advice an old Aunter
gives to those who may come IN I'M
expected contact with bad animals:
IF you are cornered by snake
stand motionless and he will never
bite.
IF vicious dog attacks you show
him knife or some similar instru-
ment, and he will keep out Of reach.
A dog can never learn the deadllnes
CT revolver or a gun, but unless he
has the rabies he knows how to re-
spect q knife.
If q swarm of wild bees attacks you
stand motionless and let out all your
breath. Then only a few Of the swarm
will sting"

A Valuable Discovery.

The Wisconsin agricultural expert
ment station has discovered the valua-
BILE fact that cheese cured in an atmos-
phere of low temperature sustains a
far less shrinkage than the cheese cured
in warmer atmosphere. The discovery
is valuable to cheese making through.
out the country. By it's application
manufacturers may put their product
through the process Of ripening and
sustain a far less loss by shrinkage
than when the ordinary atmosphere is
used. AS a result of the discovery cold
storage places are so constructed in
connection with cheese factories that
the temperature can be easily governed.
and in these the cheese will be ripened.
Underground storage places can be
built at comparatively small expense.
The results of the experiments are con-
tanned in bulletin just issued by the
university agricultural station.

DAKOTA AND THE COW.
Results Of the Substitution of Dali
ries For Wheat Fields.

While some of the lands in the drie.
sections of the Dakotas are selling for
much more than they will ever be
worth for farming purposes, the great
er part of her moister lands are not
selling too high, and there are good
reasons why they are not.
The secret of some of the reasons
for the states remarkable progress is
told by O. NJ. Osborne of Howard, one
of the shrewdest observers in South
Dakota.
when l came to South Dakota elev.
en- years ago." says Mr.. Osborne, this
section of the state was an exclusive
wheat country. Farmers kept one or
two cows, often not making enough
butter for the family table. One would
rarely see a herd of cattle or flock
of sheep in a days drive. Wheat
fields, acres and miles of them, stretch
ed away on every hand. The .invaria-
BILE result of planting the same crop
on the same land year after year was
aggravated by the series of dry sea-
sons and by declining prices. With
his income cut off or reduced the farm
er was driven to mortgage his land.
Many of them lost their homes. 9th
ers struggled along under loads of
debts that were almost hopeless. The
mortgage shark and the machine fiend
made life a burden to them.
''Then the cow came and rescued the
farmer. A few at first turned their at
tention to home dairying. They pros
pered, and others followed their ex-
ample. Herds began to dot the land
scape, living, sleek and fat, on the
rich grasses which had hitherto gone
up in smoke from the prairie fires
which at intervals swept over the
plain. Creameries were built, and
herds multiplied. From small begin
nings the dairy quickly became one of
the leading industries of the state.
Mark the result: Lands which We're
sold under mortgage foreclosure a few
years back for 81 to S. per acre, with
the judgment creditor usually the only
bidder, are eagerly sought after at $50
to $25 per acre, and contented farmers
are reaching out after adjoining quar-
tiers everywhere "-Dakota Farmer.

MAK Il !

Only two or three English cheeses
are now imported in large quantities,
and the SO called English dairy cheese
is native American product Mean
while enormous quantities of American
cheese are exported to Great Britain.
Some English cheese makers, following
the lead of Americans, perhaps, put up
their products in jars. The sale Of
cheese in small jars and small pack
ages has grown to be a great industry
in the United States, for the cheese
thus prepared is convenient and ex-
tremely palatable. 49,
German and Swiss cheeses-Limbur-
ger, for instance-are initiated here,
though less successfully than some
others. The American made Neufcha-
tel is a satisfactory product and is
eaten in large quantities. AS to Italian
cheeses, they are made without any
pretense of concealment wherever
there is a considerable Italian quarter,
though the limitations are not liked by
the Italians themselves, and cheap Ital-
ian cheeses are imported in great guam
titles.
Piling Curd.
Ny experience is not to pile high I'M
less the curd is gassy; then we cannot
pile too high. The first hour in turn
ing keep them one high only. By pill
ing up too soon after whey is off it
makes a weak, short bodied cheese.
Never pile over four blocks high. Turn
in all thick ends after it has become
we'll spread out. By so doing we de-
velOp the same meaty texture and acid
through the curd, always taking the
center block of the pile for the top
block, thereby getting an even temper
allure and maturity of the curd. New
er mill a curd until it has become
smooth and velvety. 1t should take
from two and half to three hours
from drawing the whey to milling. It
will depend on the acid and tempera-
ture the curd has been held at.-A w.

Reduced Cheese Export.
There was decrease of over 30 per
cent in the exports of cheese from the
United States in the fiscal year ended

preceding. The figures are 1874, 534
pounds for the fiscal year 1902-03 and
pounds for 1901-02.
