Brick Cheese.

In making brick cheese perfectly
sweet milk is set in a vat at sc d e
grees, with sufficient rennet to coagu-
late in 90 to so minutes. The curd is
cut with cheddar knives, is then heat
ed to ITO to 40 degrees and stirred
constantly. The cooking is continued
until the curd has become Arm
enough so that u handful squeezed to-
gether will fall apart when released.
The curd is then dipped into the mold.
which is a heavy rectangular box
without a bottom, and with Sits saw
ed in the sides to allow drainage. The
mold is set on the draining table, q
follower is put on the curd. and one
or two bricks are used ON each cheese
for pressure. The cheeses are allow

hours, when they are removed, rubbed
all over with salt, and piled three

a temperature of from 80 to IS de-
grees, and be comparatively moist.

MAD KING OTTO'S LIFE

Some remarkable details relating to the mad
King Otto of Bavaria are published from a dip
lomatic source by the Giornale dItalia, the London
Chronicle says. Though shut up for forty years
in castles. now at the Castle Furstenried. and
though ~sixty-two years of age. Otto is still a fine,
handsome figure. with a magnificent beard and
flowing gray locks.
The stories about his periodical fits Of fury are
quite untrue. His court is presided over by Mar
shall Baron Redwiz ard consists Of a few trusty
gentry belonging to the most ancient families of
the Bavarian aristocracy.
King Otto suffers terribly from insomnia and oft
en- sits up in bed half the night staring toward the
door. as If expecting somebody to enter. He, how
ever, rises punctually every morning at 8 and mute
ly allows himself to be dressed by his valet. He
has a holy horror of soap and water, and of hav-
ing his hair and nails cut, SO that servants have
to await patiently a favorable day for these opera
tons, when the poor patient is in a state of COM
plete apathy. King Otto smokes incredible guam
titles of cigarettes and is always putting away save
when he is absorbed in his favorite pastime OF
studying the operate music OF his pet composer,
Verdi. Often he causes the castle to resound all
day long with the melodies of "Rigoletto."
The diplomat relates that the first symptom Of
brain decay in the young prince, till then SO
bright, %forceful and courageous, was manifested
during the FrancoG German war. Just before the
seige Of Paris Kaiser William summoned him to Che
headquarters of the general stan and kept him un-
der observation, in company with Bismarck and
Moltke, the reason being that King Otto had called
out a squad of cavalry and ordered them to charge
straight at a stone wall, which,, he insisted. was q
body Of the enemy's infantrv.
He began preaching everywhere the stern neces-
sity Of concluding peace with France at any price.
Soon after intercepted letters were brought to the
Emperor william which the Bavarian prince had
been dispatching secretly to the enemy. It was
then that the old kaiser sadly sent for the demented
prince, decorated him with the order Of the iron
cross for service rendered in the campaign and
packed him OF under q medical escort for q pleas
ure trip in Spain and Italy.

Since the advent Of high.priced
:orn and hogs, feeding fcors of a
more permanent nature than those
mad of wood are receiving a good
leal of attention. writes l.. Z. Trocger
Of Iowa in Orange Judd Farmer. The
Advantages Of a floor OF scale kind of
material like brick or cement over
plank need not be argued. There are
Z good many feeding foors made OF
The first famed material to lie found
throughout the corn belt. and without
exception they are proving d good III
vestment.
In short. the main points in favor
of a feeding floor of permanent ma
ture Is hat it is a iecd-saver, as it
prevents feed from being tranped in
to the mud; 1t provides a solid founda-
ton for troughs, prevents mudi1oies
around troughs, and undoubtedly con-
tributes to the health of the pigs by
lessening the chances of infection by
Intestinal parasites. 1t is a practice
with ONE men to clean off the floor
with a shovel every day when the
hoor is used for growing pigs. which
removes thousands of worm eggs
when the herd is wormy, and there
are few hal are not to a certain ex-
tent.
The accompanying illustration shows
the main points in a feeding floor
that combines all the pest fea-
lures with cheapness. This is con-
structed as follows: Select a we'll
drained spot in the hog lot, remove
all rubbish and litter till a solid
earth surface is secured. Level the
surface, and If there are any soft
spots fill with clay If obtainable, and
Tramp firm. On this surface spread
an inch Of sand and smooth the same
Tor the brick. II considerable dirt
has to be removed to secure a solid
surface it may be necessary to fill in
with ashes before the sand is spread.
In this case the ashes should be rolled
II possible, at least, made as solid as
can be with the means at hand. In
the meantime the retaining wall
should be put in. This should be made
Of concrete six inches wide and ten
d twelve inches high, so that the
base will rest on firm soil. The cor
hefs may be reinforced with old iron
rods or wire If such material is at
hand.
The bricks should now be laid,
breaking joints, and when all down
, half inch Of fine sand should be
spread over the surface of the same

don is provided for the brick there

hard work connected with it. No one knows yet
who will succeed the powerful Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Island as the chief of the finance committee,
a position which carries with it ordinarily the Re-
publican leadership of the senate of the United
States.
A good deal of historic interest centers in some
of the committee rooms of the senate. The pres
ent senate wing Of the Capitol was not completed un-
til the year 1859, but there are several committee
rooms still located in the old part of the great build.
ing. Even in the new section there are two or
three rooms which have witnessed stirring scenes.
In the room of the committee on territories for in
stance, a body of which Senator Beverage of In
diana is the chairman, there were held the hearings
on the Kansas-Nebraska bill and on other free or
slave soil state" matters. In the room of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections, of which Sena-
tor Burrows of Michigan is the chairman, many
senators have had what might be called grand
jury hearings on the question of their right to their
seats. The Utah cases have been heard here, and
1t was here that Senator W. A. Clark of Montana ap-
peared through his counsel to try to prove that
he did not use wrongful means to secure his seat
in the senate.
In the room of the committee on military at
fairs hundreds upon hundreds of problems were
worked out during the days of the civil war. Since
the United States has become a world power Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman of the commit
tee on the Philippines, has had many puzzlins
questions on his hands, and the hearings which
have been held in this room at times have at
tracted crowds and nearly always have been Of
deep interest. In the Philippines room the anti
1mperialists' have argued on behalf of indepen-
dence for the Philippine, and there have been met
in debate by men who have maintained that the
day of liberty for the little brown brother" must
be postponed until he is qualified for its privi-
leges.
Memories of men pass quickly. While the
United States government as a government is only

from the sows the fioor can be fenced
in and doors made In the fence that
will keep all but the pigs u A floor
that is 16 feet wide and 80 feet long
will furnish space for about 100 pigs
or a car load OF fattening hogs, and
will cost for materials only around
$35 to $40. Feeding can be made very
convenient by building a combination
corn crib and granary adjoining the
floor. In the granary part a variety
of feeds can be kept. also a feed
cooker and other %aijuncts. This 3
a very good arrangement for a small
