The Teaching of Children

To teach a child with success re-
quires only common sense, good judg-
ment and gentleness. There are, how
ever, three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind of
the teacher.
First of all she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction-not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
OF comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults poor teaching
Is to blame. Second, there Is the In
flexible rule that requires a teacher to
prepare every lesson carefully before
giving II, IN order to present 1t In an
interesting and Ineligible way. Third,
there 10 the ever present danger of
OVERRIDING, against which the teacher
must always be on guard.

Is enough. ana this time limit must not
be overstepped so long as tomorrow

FARM DAIRY CHEESE PRESS.

methods used In the manufacture OF
several varieties of cheese. Details of
management, which are briefly and
plainly described, include aeration and
cooling, coloring, the use of rennet, cur
ding, cutting, cooking, holding. press
ing, dressing, sailing and curing. The
operation of pressing is explained as
follows: The press may be a simple
lever and weight described as follows:
The lever should be about twelve feet
long A broken wagon tongue answers
the purpose very well. Set n strong
box, on which the mold may be placed,
about three feet from a wall, post or
tree. On the latter nail a Stat and I'M
der 1t put one end of the lever. Put
circular board about six inches In di-
ameter upon the mold. and on this rest
the stick or lever. A pail containing a
few cobblestones will answer for the
weight Do not apply full pressure at
first, but let the weight hang about
halfway between the mold and the
outer end of the stick. Let the cheese
remain a few hours In the press, then
take out and dress.
The ordinary process by which our
American cheese is made In factories
Is not applicable to the farm dairy be-
cause 1t takes too much time and is so
complicated that 1t requires years OF
practice to become sufficiently familiar
with the varying conditions in which
milk comes to the vat,. The various
changes that take place in milk, and
which are troublesome in making
cheese, nearly all develop in the nights
milk kept over until the following
morning. So II milk Is made into
cheese Immediately after it is drawn
no difficulty need be experienced. By
employing a simple and short method
of manufacture any one at all accus-
toned to handling milk can with the
appliances found in any well regulated
farm home make uniformly a good
cheese.

Plain Directions For Cheese Making
In the Household.
There Is a popular impression that
the manufacture of cheese in this coun-
try has been so completely transferred
to the factory system during the last
half century as practically to abolish
cheese making on dairy farms. But the
agricultural returns of the twelfth
United States census show that in the
year 1899 there were still 1850 farms
upon which dairy cheese was made.
The quantity produced on these farms
during that year was 16,372330
pound, an average of 1,O45 pounds per
farm. This product constituted almost
81 per cent of all the cheese made in
the United States.
