Curds and Cha>e>

The rough outlines of cheesemaking
are probably familiar to every one.
Fresh milk is taken and curdled with
rennet. The curd is then broken up
and the liquid whey drawn Off. The
breaking up of the curd. it's straining
and the subsection of it to pressure are
processes repeated several times until
eventually the curd has become Of the
necessary consistency and solidity. 1t
is then set aside. usually for some con-
siderable time, to ripen. and during
this time great changes are subtly TAX
Ing place in it's substance, so that the
curd, which at first was an UNBEATABLE
solid. becomes gradually transformed
into palatable cheese Suitable exter-
nal conditions. chief among which is a
proper temperature. are of course nec-
essary to bring this ripening of the
curd to successful issue. but the real
reason of the transformation is tn,
presence of myriads of bacteria. which

was destitute Of springs. so that when,
as always happened in summer during
the dry seasons, the wells on his farm
failed his place was as dry as the des-

Old Farmer Hankins stood looking
down in evident disgust at the water
trough and faucet which had just been
placed in his barnyard by order of the
officials of the little town of Milldale
Not a drop Of water came through the
faucet, although it was wide open.
When the town officials applied to
Farmer Hankins for permission to dig
ditch and lay water main through
his farm on the way from the springs
above to the village below he told
them that he did not need any of the
water. and he could not understand
why he should have his property DAM
aged and all dug up merely to benefit
somebody else unless he should re-
ceive substantial and an adequate
financial return. The water commits

To this Farmer Hankins replied that
if he chose he might take the law
and wallop him as much as he
pleased"
While sitting on Farmer Hankins'
fence he had argued with the old man
wonderful benefit it would be to the
people of the village and that Farmer
Hankins could not do anything better
that would bring him so many friends
In fact, he would become public ben

Hankins, the stirring son of the old
man who owned the farm. had been
suspected for over year of caring
more for her than any other girl in
Milldale or any of the surrounding
towns. One afternoon shortly after her
fathers failure to come to terms with
Farmer Hankins she rode over to the
scene Of contention with her father
and sat for quite a long time in the

train was in motion and got lodged in
the crevice, the sides of which had

ment to find that the ~ I had been
looking at was followed by three
naughts. was the possessor Of a
thousand dollar bill. No sooner had I
become conscious Of my good fortune
than crumpled it in my fist and made
for field near the station at which
the train had stopped. Seeing barn,
I went to it, climbed into the NOW
and, reclining on the hay, thought what
I should do with my find.
I spent whole afternoon thinking.

money, invest 1t and in time become a
multimillionaire. Then I would travel
inside instead Of under coaches and
see bigger world than I could see
tramping in America.
It wouldn't do for one that all the
world could see was tramp to offer
a thousand dollar bill for a railroad
ticket. The agent couldn't change It
If he would. So tramped to the city.
When got there thought the first
thing for me to do would be to fix my.
self up. Going into a mammoth store
where they sold clothing, 1 asked to
see suit about my size. The clerk
went away and came back with a
spick and span fellow-a sort of floor
walker, reckon-who hemmed and
hawed and said that goods were only
sold there for cash. l pulled out my
bill and showed it to him, asking if he
could change It. He looked at ii

went back to the Office and-I slid out

he'd gone to call a policeman.
