that the total precipitation for the

remains. When this has attained suf-

Of the vessel into which it has been
forced, it is denuded of it's wrappings,
and is ready for ripening. The ripen-
ing takes place inside the house,
where rows of cheeses may be seen
laid upon shelf, or placed out Of
the way on the topmost ledge of the
dresser" Here they get the full
benefit of the peat or wood smoke that
on glsty days-and how frequent are
such days in the North of Scotland!-
is driven down the wide-open Chin
ney and fills the room with dense
and eye-smarting cloud.
The "cheese-pressie," which stands
close to the cottage door, calls for a

quaint picturesqueness, and in it's
weather beaten, lichen-covered stones,
it redeems the otherwise bare cottage

the screw that has attached to its low
er end a huge block of granite that
forms the presser, and which can be
raised or lowered at will by means of a
handle on top. Beneath it Is placed
the tub containing the newly-made
cheese. Like numberless habits and
fashions that as consequence of the
daily-increasing facilities for traffic
have altered of late years, cheese
making is no longer as widely prac-
ticed as of yore, and "cheese-pressies"
have in many instances been allowed
to fall into ruin. The specimen here
shown is not only in good working
order, but is actually at work, and a
clear idea can be gained from the
picture of this simple and effective de-
vice for the making of cheeses.

DAIRY NOTES.

When COW that has been a faithful
deliverer of milk becomes fractions,
the fault can always be traced to the
milkman.
Turn the COWS out in pasture when
the grass gets good start and do not
leave them out all day. Give the
usual feeding of hay and grain in the
morning and at night as well, until
the pastures are luxuriant.
A curious custom still holds good in
the village of Waddesdon, in Buck
inghamshire, England, where, on any
morning or evening of the year, you
can claim a free drink of new milk
from a COW especially kept for the
benefit of thirsty wayfarers. This ami
NAL is known locally as the "alms
cow" and when she dies another has
to be provided by the parish authori-
ties.
