perhaps one of the reasons why Swiss

The farmer lives on soup, occasional

Especial Correspondence

The morals of the Swiss peasantry
nifty years ago were worse than they
are now, but their manners and Gus
toms have remained the same for a
thousand years. Nowhere else in all
the world, perhaps, have people so
long continued to do things in the
same old way and to live so long I'M
der the same old roof.
Their love of the picturesque aud
he beautiful seems inherent. You will
see the Swiss farmer sit in the twi-
light hour in a trancelike reverie gaz-
ing at the valleys and scrutinizing
every inch of the activity on which
his cows are feeding. He loves it all
with a sturdy though quiet respect.
Perhaps the reason for his silence is
that there is loss of adjective force
in the ramifications of the Bernese
dialect.
His ways are totally unlike those
of the American farmer. He cuts his
hay in the rain and makes no attempt

subsolIlna in the South.


A farmer came to us a few days
ago, saying that you are always telling
us to break the hard pan and subsoil
of our land. You are no doubt correct,
but what is a poor man with only one
horse to do? This is our advice to
him and all such farmers: Take pea
stubble that is intended for cotton
next year. The leaves and remnants
of vines are now on the ground. They
should be saved. Use a six-inch
shovel and lay off the rows cotton
width as early as possible. When that
is done, take a tongue or diamond
point pillow and run in the same fur
row. That will break the hard pan.
Then do the same thing for the mid
die, leaving the freezes to pulverize
the soil. II land is intended for corn,
make the rows proper width and run
the burrows in the middle. That re.
quires little time, but it will pay any
farmer cultivating. lands. Another
plan for one-horse farmers is to swap
labor. Buy two-horse plows and har-
rows in command, and take its time
about using them. They will soon be
able to buy another horse. Two farm
ers could thus unite.

negotiate, would astound the American
farmer. That the cattle are able TO
ascend these precipitous paths, here
and there choked by huge boulders
and gravel from recent earth ava
lanches, is the first surprise; that the
Swiss can so complacently continue
their singular struggles for existence
is the second surprise.
The Swiss farmer loves his cattle.
He has names for every one of his
cows, but there are singular manifesto
lions of his love. During the winter
the cows stand in small barns knee
deep in filth. The owner would be
quickly prosecuted in America for vio-
lation of the sanitary laws
Naturally enough, the cows seem to
be restless when the springtime
comes. 1t is said that they remember
their alpine pastures and are anxious
to return to them. do not doubt it;
| even animals might have this home
sickness, so often ascribed to Swiss
cows in song and story, under these
conditions.

sion.
The sheep and the goats are dealt
with in the same way. The shepherd
watching his sheep on the Bodell at
Interlaken is a familiar sight. They
must need be continually rounded up
by Bob lest they stray on somebody
else's pastures. The goats run more or
less wild, but generally assemble. 1t
is suspected that many of them are
of chamois descent.
The Swiss farmer seldom handles
any money. Once year, in the early
fall, he attends the cattle market II
it be in Melringen or Interlaken the
town puts on holiday attire, and the
streets are filled with little booths for
the sale of various articles for house
hold use and personal adornment.
When the farmer makes a sale he
buys foolishly from these displays and
then deposits the rest of his money in
the bank and tramps it home-possbly
all the way yodling the herdsmen's
songs, or "Kuhseigen," as they are
called in the Swiss-German dialect

Cold STORAGE for Sweet Potatoes.

The ideal method Of keeping seed
potatoes is claimed to be cold storage.
Potatoes thus kept at the Ohio station
have come out sound and fresh with
no indication of sprouting and the vi.
tally unimpaired, even so late as the
LIST Of June. 1t is important, however,
that the cold storage room should not
fall below IS degrees. nor should 1t
rise much above 40 degrees. When
cold storage is not available, sprouting
may be in some measure prevented by
shoveling the potatoes frequently.

Making Swiss Cheese.

Making Swiss Cheese.
The main product of the Swiss
farmer is cheese, and it is manufac.
tured in the most primitive way
The milking begins at 5 o'clock in
the morning. The milk is poured into
a great copper caldron, curdled by
rennet, and then put in a cloth and
mould and then under a heavy and
clumsy press. 1t is turned three or
four times that day, and in the morn.
ing the cheeses are put in the store
room and kept for months, each day
being dipped in strong salt bath. In
the manufacture of this cheese 1t
seems that the plebelan methods and
the mingling Of the pine smoke with
the rennet and milk as 1t is heated in
the kettle must have considerable to
do with its strange taste-quite as
much, fancy, as the quality of the
hay and the flowers that are con.
sumed by the cows.
The women are all hard workers.
In the best class Of Swiss peasant life
the wives are not only good helpmeets
but are careful in bringing up their
children. Every one must attend
school at some time in his yCuth and
all can read and write well.
Every home is numbered and in.
sured by the government, which is
very paternal and looks after its own
domestic welfare with a surprising de.
gree Of solicitude. The young girls
begin as early as ~ years OF age to lay
by little stock Of linen, and by the
time they have reached marrying age
their dowry consists OF hundreds OF
pieces Of underclothing and bed linen.
It is all stored away in deliberately
carved chests that are handed down
from generation to generation.
