CHEESE m WISCONSIN,.
In Spite Of Seventeen Hundred Fac

Production.

You might as well look for an over
production Of children as an over-pro-
duction Of cheese" said u. S. Baer, sec
Rotary Of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers
association, at the Republican house.
to q Milwaukee Sentinel reporter,
The fact that we have upward Of 700
cheese factories in Wisconsin has raised
the cry that the business Is being over
done. The people Of this country have
not yet learned to eat cheese, but they
are coming to IT, Let me tell you, the
consumption per capita in England Is
nearly 13 pounds a year, While in Wis
eonsin It is only about three pounds 4
year to each person We are above the
average Of the states in the consumption
Of cheese, Notwithstanding we are 90
far behind the Englishmen in this re-
spect There were produced in WILSON,
sin during the past year $1,000 900
pounds Of cheese, which Is more than q
quarter Of the whole amount produced
In the United States. The average priea
has been ten cents a pound, so that you
can see, with possibly the exception Of
butter, the making Of cheese Is the first
single farm Industry IN the state. There
is no Wisconsin cheese being exported.
for the simple reason that the domestic
demand takes all the supply"

Il have observed recently q rather
curious thing with respect to the rela-
uonship between cats and rats. and It
has led to q rather interesting reaee-
ton, said q man who takes much inter
est IN animal life. 70 q New Orleans
Tines-Democrat reporter. For awhile
the rats oysrran my place. At night
there was no such thing as quiet around
the house They would scamper across
the floor, bump up and down the steps
and cut an kinds Of eapers. We Sc
cured q cat and from the very time the
cat appeared on the place the rats be-
gan to get scarce.
There Is nothing curious about this
fact in itself But to my personal
knowledge the rats have never seen the
cat The cat has remained on one floor
and the rats on another. There has been
no chasing and no conflict between them.
Now, want to know how the rats know
the cat Il on the place.
The inquiry has caused me to indulge
The more interesting reflection: How
lar can q rat detect the presence Of q
cat BY the sense Of smelll Evidently at
considerable distance. Else the rats at
ny place would not have known Of the
cats presence under the circumstances.
I'm quite sure that they have never seen
the cat But they know be is there Just
the same. and they have been aWfully
cautious since his arrival"
