The making of cheese is q very sim

which any one can make cheese sue

strain it into some clean vessel and
let it stand in cool place until morn

to about 90 degrees before adding
mornings milk. A good way to warm

into the milk. Prepare the rennet by
soaking in one gallon OF warm water
for twenty-four hours before using.

half an hour coming increase the guam
tity, if much less decrease it. AS soon
as it is well curdled take a knife and
cut the cIrd into blocks so that the
whey can escape. AS soon as the whey
is mostly out of the curd take a bas-
ket and place a cloth in 1T so as to
receive the curd. AS the curd hardens

the curd fine, add salt ounce to

to have two sizes, as the amount of

Almost any one with few tools
and little ingenuity can construct

very well. A simple way is to NOR
tise n beam into post SO that it can
work up or down, and hang weight
to the outer end of the beam. The
hoop with the curd in IL should be
turned or reversed every eight or ten
hours. From eighteen TO twenty-four
hours is generally long enough to press

cd, which requires considerable care
and attention. The cheese when taken
from the press should be rubbed with
lard and Il bandage of new muslin
pinned loosely around it. The cheese
must be creased every day. Do not
remove the bandage, but apply the
grease on it, In from four to five
weeks the cheese should be ready for
home use or market.--J. NJ. Smith.

Borax, a Simple, Safe and Sure
Method.

How to keep our homes clean, sweet

question.
While there Is no occasion for alarm,
1t is always well to be forearmed on
the theory that IAN Ounce of Proven
ton Is Better Than a Pound OF Cure"
and no ounce of prevention has yet
been discovered that is more simple,
more direct and more effective, yet
harmless to the human system, than
Borax.
Borax has been known and used for
generations as purifier and proven
tive against epidemic influences orig
mating from uncleanly conditions re-
sulting from unsanitary sinks and
drains, and when used as a hot solu-
ton IN the proportion OF two table
spoonfuls to a gallon Of hot water
flushed through the offending loca-
tons, removes every trace OF disease
germs and renders the pipes clean
and wholesome.
Borax in addition to its hygienic
qualities, is household necessity. and
can be used for numberless domestic
purposes. 1t softens the water, makes
linen dazzling white, will cleanse
every article in the kitchen or dining
room and make it bright, will
prevent moths, soften and whiten the
skin, remove dandruff and cleanse the
scalp, and for cleansing and steriliz-

Crops of 1907.

yield of the United States for 1907 is
below that of the previous year, the
money return on the 1907 crops prom

1906. This statement is contained in a
bulletin issued by Bradstreet's:
Owing to the very cold and back
ward spring season, only hay, sugar
and rice crops promise greater yields
than those of last year. The bulletin
says in part:
while the aggregate cereal yield,
six crops being included, is 10 per cent
smaller than a year ago. n counterbal-
ance to the falling off in crop produc-
ton is found in the generally higher
level of prices of the leading cereals,

The price of wheat last week was %
per cent higher than year ago. while
corn was IS per cent higher. From this
it may be gathered that the present

than at the outset of the cereal yeax

Graphic Account of Stirring Scenes

Hon Rccftc Experiences.

The records of the war department
show that there were 1855 colored
men regularly enlisted as soldiers in
the Union army during the rebellion,
who by their good conduct established
a commendable record and did efficient
service in camp, fortress and field. The
first enlistment of negroes was by Gen.
Hunter in the Department of the South
in June. 1862 1t was made without
the authority of the war department,
and was due TO an emergency. Gen.
Hunter needed men. He could not get
white recruits. and was surrounded by
q multitude OF able-bodied negroes who
were idle but anxious to serve as sol
diers.
1t was some time before the facts
were known in the North, and Hunter
unauthorized recognition Of the great
issue of the war as proper military ma
terial created considerable excitement.
Representative Wyckliff Of Kentucky
introduced 4 resolution in the House Of
Representatives calling upon the sec
rotary of war for information. The
resolution was forwarded to Gen. Hun
ter, who made Il comprehensive and
practical report, which was forwarded
to congress and was recognized by the
country as a full justifica on of his
act. Mr.. Wyckliff created a scene in
the house by denouncing Gen. Hunter
and declaring that the enlistment of
negroes was an insult TO every white
soldier in the army. Nevertheless con-
gress authorized the president to enlist
persons of African descent but pro
vided that they should be used as la
borers il the camps and forts, and were
rot to be allowed to bear arms.
