Field Roots for Sheep.

New York Cheese Trade.
PRICES WELL MAINTAINED AND THE
REAsoNs-TMPRovEME IN MANU-
rACTURE.

The cheese situation has happily sur
prised every one. Prices have advanced
right in the face of expected decline;
IL l-2 cents for June cheese Is high, and
buyers are plenty. The make is light,
as generally reported BY the trade and
by the producers.
Each year more and more cheese milk
goes into the city trade; not alone for
New York-our inland towns and cities
are constantly reaching out for more.
These changes are to some extent affect.
ing the market prices, but are not at all
important. The general condition OF
milch cows in cheese sections, so far as
the writer's observation has gone, is
exceedingly bad. This condition of the
cows this spring is meaSurably re-
spousible for light crop. In the milk
sections more grain was fed, because
milk prices would pay cost, even If no
profit remained; but in the cheese sec
tious less milk is produced, and so cows
were fed only coarse folders, which
were scarce and high. saw great
many dairies this spring wretchedly
poor. These cows cannot make good
this summer. l often wonder if any
other human activity needs as much
readjustment. Small, poor cows, bali
fed, are seen upon thousand hills.
They cannot make the owner profit.
And 80 it would seem at present writing
that cheese could not be low this season.
Said an old and prominent dealer a
few days ago: "I do not think prices
can go low; they may sag off bit after
the June cheese is stored. You know"
said he, "that people want June cheese
for storage; there is prevailing opinion
that June cheese is superior for storage
purposes, and they will have them"
By the way, what marvellous change
has taken place in this business since
the time when the summer kept cheeses
we're of all sorts and kinds, in some
cases no two alike, saying nothing about
having three or more alike-soft, out of
shape, off flavored-bad, bad. Now a
whole carload, aweek's shipment, per-
haps, from six or eight factories, are 30
near alike that dealer will put them
into storage and bring them out next
winter all branded as one make; and it
is a legitimate thing to do. OF course,
the factory often loses its name, but
Others are Just as good. The buyer
knows what factories he can safely
brand, and so, while certain factories
lose their names they lose nothing in
price; in fact am of the opinion they
gain. Five carloads of cheese from
different factories, all uniform, will
bring more money at the first purchase
and at each subsequent deal than one
carload. There was for time big
kick put up by those factories which had
for long time sold upon their brand,
but now we hear less said.-H. E. Cook,
Denmark, n. Y, in Tribune Farmer.

HAS FORMULATED CLUB CREED.
Favorable Impression Made by Mrs.
Robert Surdette's Words.

Mrs. Robert Burdette, vice-president
of the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, has formulated a club creed
that has made so favorable an impress
sion that it is likely to be adopted by
many clubs in this country and
abroad. About the most vital part
of this creed reads:
Il believe in afternoon club life for
women. | believe in evening club life
for men and women together, when it
does not rob the home of father and
mother.
9" believe that woman has no right
to undertake any work whatsoever
outside OF the home, along the lines
of philanthropy, church, temperance
OF club life that does not emanate
from the home, and it's final and best
results return to the home. Home
must always be the center but not
the limit of woman's life
II believe in equal rights in the fam
lily for father and mother in intelli-
sence, affection and tilial respect.
These the club should foster.
q believe, out of consideration for
others, in removing the hat in all pub
lie assemblies

HAD LOST TRACK OF HISTORY.
Italian Evidently Knew Nothing OF
Declaration of independence

Lewis Morris Iddings of New York,
diplomatic agent of the United States
to Egypt, and at present on leave of
absence in this country, tells the fol-
lowing anecdote as an illustration of
how backward in civilization are GER
tain remote districts Of Italy. Hav-
ing been secretary of the embassy in
Rome for many years, Mr.. Iddings
can we'll qualify as an expert.
During his secretaryship it appears
that relatives of an eXpatriated Ital-
ian who had come to the United States
were endeayoring to locate their long
lost dear one, having heard through
friends who had returned to the native
village in the Appenine mountains that
he was making mints CT money in
America
Their inquiries, in the form of an
appeal, We're drawn up by the enlight-
ened mayor Of the village, who for
warded them to the British embassy
in Rome, possibly after careful study
of his own prehistoric atlas.
Mr. Jardine Kidston, the British
charge daffaires, who received the
communication, referred it to the at
tention OF the American embassy, in
closing the document with note to
this effect:
