eclence In Chee..emakin..

There are few operations In ~
handling of dairy products that n
qulre more thought, information and
dexterity than the making of cheese.
Dificult as is the making Of good hut.
ter, its processes are not so Intricate
as are those of the making Of cheese.
This will account for the decadence OF
cheesemaking on the farm and Its rel
egation to the factories. The making
of good cheese is an accident or SCI
ence. Much Of the good cheese that
Domestic our tables is of the first class.
All should be Of the latter class. That
accident has been an Important factor
In the past is easily understood when
we. consider the great variation In the
quality of the milk delivered to the
factories and the little knowledge that
has been possessed In the past Of the
action OF rennets and the effects Of
temperatures both In the making and
3rlpeping OF cheese The situation Ii
complicated by the fact that the. va
;ried tastes of cheese-eaters call for d
good many different kinds OF cheese.
One wants hard cheese. another a.
soft cheese, another milk cheese, an
other one that is sharp, and 80 on. The.
cheese that is most In favor at this
time is one that has a clean favor and
is quite hard and rather close in tex
ture, anad has n firm and rich body.
Such cheese keeps we'll till year old
If properly taken care of. 10 make
a cheese Of this kind requires science,
If 1t Is to be made all the time and not
spasmodically. The maker must :be
able first OF all to know good milk snd
must be able to secure 1t for his work,
With bad milk success is not possible.
He must generally have modern ma.
chinery and equipment. The factory.
must be so built that it will be posi-.
BILE to keep it clean. We have seen
factories that were SO poorly equipped
that 1t is doubtful If the best cheese
maker in the world could make good
cheese III them, Farmers Review.

away she had written him little notes
OIL the road.
That night he walked home with
Miss Brown-eyes. The next night he
called, the third night he took her to
the theater-but all the while the
brown eyes never met his.
And Sunday night of the following
week he asked her to marry him.
There We're four days of grace.
You know, won't bother you very
much," he explained awkwardly.
Wishing that the eyes were not look
ing straight into his. "I'll-l'll be on
the road most Of the time, and your
aunt could stay with you-only in n
much better house-and really, I'll do
my best to-make you happy"
The brown eyes were shooting
sparks now.
I'm glad you didn't have the I'M.
pertinence to tell me you loved ME,
anyhow. There is that much to your
credit" she was saying scornfully.
But you couldn't make me happy, j
hate you"
She said more, but Rlgby could not
exactly recall it Perhaps he didn't
want to recall 1t. 81 hate you!" Tint
was quite enough.
And all of n sudden he realized that,
above all things, he did not wish this
girl to hate him. He wanted her to
love him, wanted 1t more than any
thing else in the .world-eyen the DO
sition.
Three days later Mr.. johnson
opened letter from Rigby, dated In
a small Pennsylvania town.
Il have changed my mind. don't
want the New York job until Two
earned my wife,"
Then he wrote of sales and custom
ers. johnson dictated an answer to
the business part Of the letter and
ignored the reference to a future mar
raige.
He gave Rigby's letter to the brown
eyed stenographer to file with the rest
OF his days correspondence, and she
read the nll-important paragraph more
than once.
l->.Anf-dhh tshaat long; 5ltttttAs Writer.
Rigby stayed on the road. He Stunned
the theater and closed his eyes to tho
racing news. But he sold goods. and
wrote regularly to the senior member
Of the firm.
"Rigby's got the trade in Pennsyl-s
vania by the boot straps and pulling
on 1t to beat the band" observed
johnson to his partner one day-in
the presence of the brown.eyed
stenographer. HE is surely trying to
make record"
And the little stenographer, under
cover Of her typewriter desk, gave
loving pat to fat order Rigby had
just sent in.
It was summer before Rigby put the
question again, and fall before the
wedding day was set. Rigby protest
ed, but she was firm.
II want you to make one more trip"
she said slyly. II want to write YOU
every day-for myself. All our cor
rcspondence heretofore has been pure
~ matter of business" He looked
at her reproachfully.
YES" she added. smiling tenderly.
Il could read between the lines of
each letter to Mr.. johnson. I'm doing
this for you. dear, for your But
want some letters of my very own.
Well make 1t just n year from the day
Mr. Johnson told you to go wife-hunt-
ing"
Rigby sighed resignedly.
"Al! right, but tell me just one
thing, Belle, dear. Why did you watch
me so closely the day Johnson asked
me If there wasn't some girl could
marry in hurry?"
"Because-because-" and the
brown eyes were covered with the
sweeping lasi,es now, II was $3.50
afraid there might be."-Boston Globe.

Making New Farms.

& An Important field Of recent irr.ga-
ton work is in western Canada. The
Canadian Pacific road Is opening up
a block of thirty million acres in Al
herta near the main line of the mil
way. section in which the soil is
good. but the rainfall deficient. A
canal twenty miles long takes water
from the Bow River, near Calgary.
The total length of canals and side
canals will be several hundred miles.
and the whole scheme will cost nearly
$5cG3.000. About half of the land
will be suitable for crops and the rest
for grazing and dairy farming.

all your humping around the country
you've never met girl you would
seriously consider marrying?'
Rigby's mind Travelled rapidly over
his list Of acquaintances. He raised
his head, and caught pair Of brown
eyes watching him from the desk In
the far corner of Mr.. Johnson's Office.
The eyes belonged to Johnson's pri-
waite stenographer.
NO. 1 don't know girl I'd care
to marry, nor a girl who'd care to
marry me-"
well, I'll be hanged!" CALCULATED
Mr.. johnson.
Rigby was standing up. He had
forgotten the brown eyes by this time.
He usually forgot girls Just this easily.
But I'll tell you this much, Mr..
johnson. don't propose to let little
thing like not having wife stand
between me and that job. I'm going
to get both inside of two weeks"
Mr.. johnson, senior member Of the
johnson Manufacturing Company,
chuckled. He Ind liked Rigby from
the hour the lad had started out in
the Pennsylvania coal territory to sell
johnson shoes, but he would not vary
his long-standing rule-the best Jobs
to the married men.
Willimet, who had long held the
New York territory, was going into
business for himself, and his position
was the one for which Rigby was
asking.
Charley Rigby crossed the square,
his hands thrust deeply into his pock-
cts, his hat pulled over his eyes. He
was thinking about girls.
When his fathers money had been
swept away by ill-advised Investments
he had cut loose from his mothers
people, who had always resented her
marriage with the visionary, easy
going Rigby. Now he wished that he
had kept in touch with them and their
social life.
Naturally Of gentle breeding and in
stincts, he had not cared for the class
Of girls he met in his life as CON-
mercial traveller, and he had bit Of
his fathers dreamy nature, which car
ried him to the theater and made him
happy In good books.
There was the nurse who had tided
him over the malarial fever, but she
had told him the first day of his CON
valescence that she was engaged. The
daughter Of the biggest shoe dealer
in Scranton had invited him to dinner
every time ne called on her father
but she was not just the sort.
And matrimony was gamble, n
lottery, after all. 1t was Just the
same whether you knew girl day
or n year. You never really knew her
until you married her. Lots Of the
married men had told him So
Then all of n sudden he remembered
the brown eyes that had watched him
during Johnson's merciless catechism.
Merrifeld, the bookkeeper, saunter-
ed in for lunch, and Rigby welcomed
him joyously. After few desultory
remarks he inquired about the owner
of the brown eyes.
You remember Darnton. who wns
killed in the Somerville collision last
summer? Well. she's his daughter.
Belle Darnton. ] think her mothers
folks have money, but she was too
proud to ask help. and she lives with
her fathers maiden sister, l guess
all they have is her little salary"
Rigby tramped ten miles through
the park that afternoon, and reached
II decision. 1t was II coincidence that
both should be vegy nearly alone in
the world. And thsn her eyes We're
opealing. And be Really knew her,
