CAUSE OF FLAvORs IN CHEESE.

Good flavor in cheese commands a
ready market at remunerative prices
which poor flavor condemns it and no
one seeks it at any price. Flavor as
applied to cheese is distinguished by
taste and sense of smell. OFF flavor
is the term usually applied to a va
riety of bad odors in cheese and Gus
tomarily refers to the well-known
characteristic odors which indicate
early deterioration in the product.
The faulty favors may be divided
into two general classes-those de-
rived from taints impaired TO the
milk through the injudicious feeding
of unsuitable feed to the cows and
those derived from taints impaired to
the milk through germs that get into
the milk during and after milking.
Flavors of the first class are less COM
mon than dairymen generally believe
and may be avoided in most instances
by careful feeding. Certain feeds,
however, such as leeks, cabbage,
onions, turnips, rye, and rape when
eaten by cows, impart unpleasant
havors to the milk which are retained
by the majority of consumers. Too
often the cause of favors and taints
of the second class are assigned to the
feed of the cow, while the actual
cause of the tainted, gassy conditions
of the milk and cheese curds is due
to the carelessness and filthy condi-
tions under which the milk is drawn
and kept before it reaches the fac
tory.

cooking, was the method then used
for putting up winter stores. When
canning came in fashion of course /
wanted to keep up with the times
and could hardly do it. 1 didn't
know how to can, and there was no
one in the neighborhood who did.
In fact, right and easy way had
not been found out. The jars and
jars of moldy and half-soured fruit I
had to dispose of in spite of my best,
but ignorant, efforts, filled me with
repugnance for the whole business.
1t would not have been safe for the
man q suppose he was a MANI who
invented canning to have come near
me, l so disliked the whole thing.
Now that have learned the art, my
fruit comes out of the can in as good
order as it went in-no mold, no fer
mentation, and can keep my small
amount of amiability intact on can.
ming days, just as well as on any
other dag.
The right way is the easiest, and
nobody should be content with
smattering of knowledge of any
branch of business that they pursue.
Even with the best efforts that one
can put forth, there is always some
thing more to learn. Life is a text
book, and we are constantly turning
over fresh pages to study.-Ma,y

THE USEFUL YAwK.

The act of yawning is distinctly
beneficial in two ways. In the first
place it serves the purpose of lung
ventilation. The lungs are not filed
or exhausted by ordinary respiration.
There is a certain quantity Of air
which Psychologists call residual
air" left in the recesses of the lungs
after the ordinary respiration. This
in time becomes vitiated and effects
the blood and, through it, the nervous
centers.
The result is a yawn, which Is
really stretching of the respiratory
chamber to its fullest capacity and
the filling of it with freshly inspired
air which drives the vitiated air out.
Yawning is also benefcialin so far as
it opens, stretches and ventilates the
vocal, nasal and auditory chambers
in connection with the mouth.
The cracking sound often heard
when yawning is due to the stretch
ing and opening of the eustachian
tubes from communication between
the middle ear and the back of the
throat. The deafness which often
accompanies a cold is due to the con-
gestion of these tubes. .-LOndon Hos

THE uHDERsrAHD1Na OF NATURE.

Two young women, says recent
publication, were looking across the
landscape. Don't you love nature?"
asked one of them turning with
clasped hands.
"Oh, yes, indeed" answered her
friend, "It adds so much -
We have all known people like
these who gushed over flowers and
birds and sunsets, and who never in
their lives tried to raise flower or a
turnip, and probably couldn't have
done it if they had. How different
is their appreciation of nature" from
that of the men and women who have
really lived in close touch with all the
life about them. There are women
men too for that matter-whose touch
seems to have in it something of
magic to which flowers respond.
Every reader, I am sure, has known
some such person, one of those tram
quill, cheerful creatures who always
have something in bloom, and whose
plants seem to grow and thrive under
almost any condition. These fortu-
nate folk are never afraid to give
away their flowers, for they know
others will bloom for them and
their cuttings and "slips" spring up
like the proverbial bay tree.
I have seen people with the same
knack in growing vegetables or fruits
or even farm crops; and this quality
is even more noticeable when it comes
to dealing with animals. There are
boys whom almost any dog will fol-
low. Some mems horses love them /;
and I have seen two or three women
who seemed to sympathize with a
hens every notion. Only today l
was looking at an old gentleman's
bees. He went among them, called
them pet names, took them in his
hands. Yet there are those who can
not go near beehive without dodg-
ing and striking and getting stung.
This subtle appreciation and under
standing of living things when it
reaches out to nature generally, toall
plants and animals and insects, not
simply to roses or horses or bees,
makes the true seer of nature, the
Thoreau or the Burroughs. Per-
haps, too, it is the same trait slightly
modified that makes those cheerful
and wholesome vagabonds we some
times see, the men whose favorite
haunts are the woods and the fields,
and whose chief occupations are
hunting and fishing and loafng. I
used to know one such man, and l
have seen him sitting out in the
woods with his long-barreled rifle
waiting, almost as motionless as
stump, for squirrel to appear. And
he went hunting or fishing day after
day. He was the true type OF hunt
er, very different from the fellow
who goes out simply to see how big
a bag of game he can kill. I am not
sure but that he hunted as much to
be in the woods as to kill squirrels
and he understood the woods and the
streams just as the old maid with the
fragrant garden and the glowing win
dows understands roses and pinks and
geraniums.-E. E. miller, in Coatn-
try Gentleman.

INSTINCT IN A YOUNG BEAVER.

Every animal inherits the power Of
doing certain things without being
taught-that is to say, they have
what is called instinct. A gentleman
refused to believe in this instinct, so
to convince him Canadian friend
bought a baby beaver from hunter
and sent it to the gentleman. The
little beaver became a great pet in
the house, but gave no sign of want
ing 70 build a dam until one day a
leaky pail of water was put on the
floor of the back kitchen. Though
but baby, the instinct now awoke
in the beaver. The instant he saw
the water oozing out of the pail he
scampered into the yard, brought in
a chip and began building his dam.
The gentleman was called and watch
ed the little fellow, very much as
tonished by all he saw. He gave
orders to have it left where it was,
and the industrious beaver kept at
his work four weeks, when he had
built a solid dam all around the pail.

THE BUSY NAN.

Once there was business man
As busy as bee;
For not q thing but business cares
The slightest time had he.
He had no time to stop at home,
He had no time to play;
He had no time to greet his friends,
So lost them day by day.
He had no time his children's love
And confidence to gain;
He had no time to see his wife
And they we're growing twain.
He had no time to pleasure take
In money he made fast,
He had no time for present joys,
Nor sweet thoughts OF the past.
He had no time to laugh or sing,
To love or mourn or pray;
He had no time to give to aught
But deals closed every day.
He had no time to eat or sleep,
But snatched bit of each;
He had no time for all the good
Life placed within his reach.
And SO years passed-he had no time
To live, as one could see,
But he had time. at last, to die
Time for eternityI

SOFT SHELL EGGS.

Hens that acquire the habit of lay
ing soft shell eggs should be watched
very carefully in order to break them
of it. There are two causes for soft
eggs. One is the feeding of too much
stimulating food the other not
enough shell-forming material being
furnished. Too much spiced food
and meat is generally found to be the
chief cause and if that is cut out the
evil can generally be overcome. If
the hens have been overfed, they
will show it by the lack of eagerness
with which they cat new food. After
you are satisfied that they have been
fed too much, reduce the supply and
add little epson salts to their drink
ing water for about four days. Grit
or crushed oyster shells should be fed
if want of lime is the trouble.

IRISH WIT AND HUMOR.

A raw recruit in the army was
given an unbroken pony to ride. Af-
ter lively siege Of bucking, one of
the horses legs became entangled in
the stirrup, causing Mike to remark :
"Faith, if you are thinking of getting
up here, it's time for me to be getting
down."

men if he will state whether it also
had green tail.
