PARAFFiNINo OF CHEESE.
II May Ne Done on the Farm at Lit
die Expense.


Nearly all factory cheese is now par
anined, and the advantages obtained
by covering the cheese with a thin lay
er Of parann are:
The loss IN weight during curing Is
much less than without the parafIin.
aud the cheese will stand higher TEN
perature In the curing room without
damage.
Mold Is entirely prevented or at least
greatly checked.
Flies cannot deposit their eggs
through the parafiin, and that prevents
shippers.
The paraflining OF factory cheese Is
done by dipping 1t In melted parafIin,
so that a thin layer adheres TO the
cheese, but of course It takes quite n
large kettle full to dip even a ten
pound cheese, and this method would
on that account be somewhat expen-
slve for cheesemakers on the farm.
The parafiining can. however, be done
at practically no expense and with
very little work by the following meth

worth of paraffin for ten pound
cheese
The cheese should preferably be
from three to ten days old when par

Water company. 1t has all along
been understood that the principal
owners of the stock of the Wallace
Light and Water company were also
the principal owners of the electric
light and water plants in Sumpter
and North Yakima, and it is believed
that the new corporation will take
over the three companies.
The Northwest Light and Water
company is incorporated under the
laws of the state of Nevada, with the
principal place of business at Carson
City. The company is capitalized at
1000 900, divided into shares Of a
par value of 800.
The incorporators of the company
are Robert e. Strahorn, who holds

who holds 1851 shares, and E. D.
