GREAT BULL-DoGGINe CONTEST
Champion Steer-Throwers to Appear
at Pendleton Roundup.

Visitors to the 1911 Roundup this
fall are destined to witness one of the
most thrilling and spectacular contests
ever pulled off between man and man
in this section of the world, if plans
go not awry. This conest will be
nothing other than meeting between
the two greatest "bull-doggers" of
steers which western plains have pro-
duced, both of whom have held the
title of champion, Dell Blancett and
Buffalo Vernon.
Plans to get these two steer wrest-
lers together before the Round. Up
crowds this fall have been under way
for several months and letter from
Vernon practically assures the con-
test. Vernon signifies his willingness
to meet Blancett and contracts have
been forwarded to him to sign. Blan-
cett has already been signed, so that
it seems that nothing can stand in the
way of the meeting.
There is great rivalry between
these two men and the contest this
fall will not be the first time they
have met for supremacy in their ex-
citing speciality. Last year during
the Fiesta of the Dawn of Gold at
Sacramento they met, at which time
the title of champion was wrested
from Vernon. The latter, therefore.
is more than desirous of meeting his
lanky opponent again and it is proba-
BILE that they will make little side bet
by way of showing their faith in their
own powers.
Besides their ability in throwing
steer barehanded, both men are prof.
cient with the rope.

Tho Use Of the Broom,

Few people handle a broom proper.
y. although accustomed to IL use
every day Of their lives. Always draw
your broom by leaning It forward, BE-
cause this allows the dirt to be moved
along more gently and will not raise
much dust Most sweepers thrust
the broom ahead Of them in a sort ot
digging way. with the handle toward
the sweeper. This breaks the broom,
wears out the carpet. flirts up dust
and makes the sweeping much mocs

FANCY CHEESE EASILY MADE.

o. G. Simpson. Assistant Dairyman. Oregon Ag-
ricultural College. Corvallis.
During the summer months nearly
every one appreciates some of the soft
fancy cheeses. 1t is during this sea-
son that Smeirkase, Dutch or more
properly Cottage cheese, is most pop
ular.
1t is the purpose of this article to
give directions for the making of
fancy cheese under home conditions.
COTTAGE CHEESE.
If not given close attention Cottage
cheese may be too dry or gritty. The
important part of its manufacture is
to not heat above 100 degrees.
Skim milk should be used, for the
cream will be largely lost if made
from whole milk. The milk is kept
at temperature of 70 to rs degrees
until well curdled. The curd is then
broken up and the temperature raised
to 80 to 95 degrees and allowed to
stand until the whey separates. This
will take about Is minutes, when the
whey can be removed and the curd
drained in muslin bag. When we'll
drained salt at the rate of little less
than an ounce of salt to 10 pounds of
cheese. For very fine quality mix
ounce of cream to pound of cheese.
BUTTERMILK CURD.
The University of Wisconsin has
method of making cheese similar to
cottage cheese from butter milk.
Buttermilk is heatd to 70 to rs de-
grees and left quiet Ii to hours.
The temperature is then raised to 14O
degrees. The curd then settles and
the whey is removed. Place the curd
in bag and drain, working the out
side curd inside occasionally. Salt at
the rate of 2 ounces of salt to 10
pounds of cheese.
CREAM CHEESE.
Thin cream is thickened with rem
net, the curd broken, and part of the
whey allowed to escape. 1t is then
worked to the consistency of paste and
sprinkled with salt This is very
mild and rich cheese.
DEVONSHIRE CREAM.
Milk is set. in a cool place and the
cream allowed to raise several hours.
Without disturbing the cream the
vessel is placed on the stove and the
contents raised to the scalding point.
They are then set aside until the up
per layer hardens, when it is turned
out on mat or placed in a bag to
drain. Usually eaten with fruit or
berries.
CLUB CHEESE.
This cheese is extensively used by
hotels and grills. 1t is of particular
advantage in making cheese sand
wiches. Its manufacture is simple,
yet the best quality is often difficult
to obtain.
Five pounds of we'll ripened cheddar
cheese of the finest quality is ground
in an ordinary meat grinder. When
once through l pound of best quality
butter is mixed in. The whole mass
is then run through the grinder again.
The mixture is then mixed and knead-
ed with the hands until free of Jumps.
Some add liquors or condiments such
as brandy or sherry wine, or mustard
or caraway. 1t may be kept in ordi-
nary jelly glasses. First smearing
the inside of the glass with butter and
then pouring molten butter or paraffin
over the top.
