PARAFFIfdING OF CHEESE.

Ii May Be Done on fhe Farm al Lift

Nearly all factory cheese Is now par
affined. and the advantages obtained
by covering the cheese with a thin lay
er Of parafiin are
The loss in weight during curing is
much less than without the parafin.
and the cheese will stand a higher tenn
perature ia 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 paraffining of factory cheese is
done by dipping it in melted parafin,
SO that thin layer adheres to the
cheese, but Of course it takes quite a
large kettle full to dip even ten
pound cheese, and this method would
OH that account be somewhat expen-
sive for cheesemakers on the farm.
The paraflning can. however, be done
at practically no expense and with
very little work by the following meth
cd.
Melt 4 pound or two of paraffin (cost-
ing about 10 cents per pound in ket-
tie until it is quite hot and begins to
smoke and then cover the surface of
the cheese, using a fairly stiff brush,
say about an inch in diameter, and rub
it in good. Be sure to keep the paraf-
fin hot and dip the brush frequently.
De not try to cover too much surface
with one dipping of the brush. The
coating should be about half the thick
ness of a dime and adhere well to the
cheese. 1t takes less than cents
worth of paraffin for ten pound
cheese
The cheese should preferably be
from three to ten days old when par
affined. and the surface must be wiped
dry 1t is best to leave the cheese in
a warm room for some hours before
paraffining; otherwise it is difficult to
get a coating that will stick AS the
farmer generally has no regular curing
room, says writer in Hoard's Dairy
man. 1t will pay him well to take the
little extra trouble in paraffining all
his cheese

were dust and ashes, too
The interview with Aunt Jean must
have been unsatisfactory, for present.
ly he wandered away with the lag
ging fooasteps that betoken a heavy
heart. He could not go back to the
playhouse yet. Margie and the puppy
were too mirthful for his present
mood. The small grove that the SUBJ
urbanites proudly called Highland park
seemed quite deserted. and thither he
turned his steps. : But another dis
quieted soul was pacing slowly down
the walk.
':Oh! Mr.. Ellison" he cried, running
forward with delight.
why, it's Bob, isn't it! How are
you, old man."
Very well,'' said Bobby. Then ne
stopped and shook his head disnlally.
"Say, did you know Beauty and the
Beast amt true?"
"Why, no, hadn't heard. When did
it happen?" -
Mother told me just now. Jack-'n'-
the-beanstalk ain't-isn't true, neith-
er. And nothing isn't except the an
gels, and they don't amount to much
for stories."
"It's too bad, old man, but it's got
to come."-
What has?" said Bobby, looking
about.
'sThe day of finding out how many
nice things aren't true"
'Oh! Say, she said he didn't turn
into the kind of beast in the picture.
Now if he turned into any at all, why
couldn't they have made a picture like
it, What do they want to try to fool a
fellow for?"
1T would be hard to make picture
of the kind of beast some fellows be-
come.''
J, There was pause as the two walked
on down the path side by side. Each
seemed to be busy with his own
thoughts, and apparently these
thoughts must have been about as dis
NAL in one. case as in the other.

''Mr. Ellis6n, where are you going?"

'Are you just walking?''
"Why don't you come to see us any

recalled to his duty, for he increased
his pace. But Bobby clung to his hand
and trotted at his side.
