on the charge Of forgery. The story
of Huffman's crime was told by w.

Correspondence was had with the

Glenwood Springs, Col, March
25.-After experimenting for seven
years John +. Spencer, an old fruit
grower of Grand Junction, Col, has
succeeded in perfecting seedless
apple. The apple looks like navel

and there is adepression in the navel
end very similar to that of the seed.

Spencer began working for the
seedles apples soon after the seedless
oranges were put on the market. He
is now preparing to graft his seedless
buds on every sort of apple tree and
asserts that he will be able to de.
velop seedless apples of every va.
riety. He will not reveal the secret
of his budding and grating. The
tree ON which the seedless fruit
grows is unusual in that it has nc
blossoms.

The Cheese Business.

Editors Keowee Courier: In your
paper of the 10th instant, we notice
an article taken from tho Pickens
Sentinel Journal, in regard to the
cheese business in the South. The
only defect Gf such it might be
called) in the article is, that the
Sentinel Jo urnal failed to say as
much as could be said in favor of
the enterprise. If you will give us
d few "sticks" of space in your paper
we will add some few facts to what
has already been said.
First, l desire t, say l am ac.
quainted with the business, due to
the fact that | am now engaged in
the manufacture of cheese in Oconee
and am studying the situation from
every point of view.
can say that this very remunera-
tive business is one for the farmer
for the most part. He wants to i'm
prove his land and not enrich the
fertilizer companies, and the only
way, or at least the best, is to raise
COWS. But unless the COWS are pro-
fitable in some other way the farmer
is loser. Some one says, sell butter
and buttermilk. Now, let's see how
that pays. Suppose farmer b has a
good 3-gallon COW. If her milk is
good average we might expect one
pound of butter, which farmer b
can perhaps get Is cents for by going
to town and taking it in coffee or
tobacco. The buttermilk he feeds
to his pigs, for he can't sell it about
here. In 800 days he realizes $45
for his butter. So much for butter.
Suppose he had carried his milk to a
cheese factory, where they pay 81 .25
per hundred pounds, he would have
had $50 in cash, or enough to feed
the COW and buy him another one.
Some other facts we want to see
about: Suppose you have ten 3-gal-
lon cows to milk for a cheese factory.
Look here: l cow for l year, 500 ;
10 cows, 5000; 10 calves, $40; ma
nure, S12O; 5 hogs raised on whey,
$50; total, SLIGO. Feed, $4OO; bal
ance, $760. Figures won't lie has
been often repeated, and is as true in
the cheese business as anywhere.
Can you, my farmer friends, make
$3.50 more easily than this =?
But now about the manufacture
Of cheese. 1t requires only a few
dollars to 60 to work. The neces-
sary expense need not exceed $3.50,
and then we can have cheese all the
time-summer or winter. And the
beauty is that we know that we are
eating ure cheese. Who knows
what they are eating when they eat
Northern Seheese? If man has
money to invest he can do no better
than obtain p few shares in cheese
company.
Now, Messrs. Editors, we have
been hast; in collecting these
thoughts, hut Msyou q mean any OF
you) wilkome dS%n to Cross Roads
we willgive YOU Some cheese good
enough for anybody.
