Questions and answers

and Jersey cattle? Would like to
have statistics of their records if you
have them. Is the milk of the
Jersey COW rich enough in fat to Off
set the difference in quantity of milk?
Please give me all the information
you can. j. L. P. Monohon, Wash.
Answer: This question as to the
relative value of the two breeds, Hol-
stein and Jersey, has often been dis
cussed. The official records show that
there are exceptionally high producers
in both breeds, and n must be
governed by the conditions under
which be is working.
We generally consider the Holsteins
the milk breed and the Jerseys the
butter breed, because the former gives
a large amount of only average milk,
while the latter gives an average
amount of milk rich in fat. Still
when we consider that the Holstein
holds the worlds record for yearly
fat production, we must consider
them also as a.butter breed.
1t may depend upon the climate
and the feed that is at hand.
A Holstein will eat more roughage
because she has a larger capacity. So
that it a large amount of good hay is
available and the concentrates are
hard to get. the Holstein will prob
ably be the most economical. Again,
the Holstein can withstand a more
severe climate than a the Jersey.
The Jerseys on the other hand will
take less roughage and will probably
produce more fat from the least
amount of feed. If the fat is the only
thing considered, the Jerseys would
probably be ahead, but we must not
overlook the fact that the other solids
in the milk, namely, milk sugar and
the proteins, make up a large part OF
the food in milk and must be con-
sidered as valuable, although the milk
does not look rich when they alone
are present.
1t resolves itself largely into a mat
ter of personal taste. 1t is generally
cnsidered that the high fat content OF
Jersey milk is enough to Offset the
small yield of milk. But if the skim
milk was to be considered as a food,
the HoIsteins would probably have
the advantage.
The average composition of Jersey
and Holstein milk is as follows:

Question: Will You kindly tell me
the cheapest way to raise young calves
without milk? We have one three
weeks old doing we'll on skimmilk
and oilmeal cruel. Would like to raise
another one or two, but have not the
milk for them. We want strong and
vigorous calves.
Answer: All calves should be fed
some milk until they are five weeks
old at least. 1t need not be all whole
milk although the change should be
gradual, but skimmilk fed in connec-
ton with some grain will make ex-
cellent calves. Allow your calves to
nibble at hay and pasture and give
them a little grain, and by the time
they are five to six weeks old they

instruction for making and curing
cheese.
Answer: There are so many differ
ent kinds of cheese that it would be
hard to determine to which one you
refer. Cottage cheese is the n
most commonly made on the farm or
at home, but the process OF making 1t
is generally familiar to all who have
handled milk.
In making common cheese, however,
abbreviated directions are as follows:
Have the milk at an acidity of about
two-tenths, that is just before it be-
gins to turn our so that you can
notice it. Set it at a temperature OF
IS degrees F. adding enough rennet,
which should be diluted in cold
water, so that the coagulation will
take place in about twenty-five min
utes. The curd is then cut into cubes
about a half inch in dimension and
the mass heated slowly to about SO
degrees f. when the curd will be
rubbery in texture. 1t must be stir
red while heating and the tempera-
ture should be raised only about two
degrees in five minutes. This tirmlng
of the curd will take from 30 minutes
to an hour and even longer, depend
ing upon the acidity of the milk and
the amount of rennet used. The
whey is then drawn off and the curd
PARTICLES are allowed to mat together
in the bottom of the vat in such a
way as to allow good drainage OF the
whey. The mat is cut into slices
about 6x8 inches and turned and piled
one on the other every fifteen minutes.
This process is called the ~cheddaring
process and has the effect of making
the curd silky in texture and at the
same time allows the whey to drain
off. 1t takes from two to four hours
to cheddar most cheese. When this
is complete the curd is cut into cubes
again about the same size as before for
the purpose of sailing and getting in
shape to be moulded. Strong iron
hoops are used for pressing. The
pressure should be continuous or
about three hours and the cheese re-
moved, trimmed and turned, again
put in the press and pressed for

SCHEDULE MAKERS
 HAVE HARD TASK

Little Rock. January 16-The schedule committee of the Southern league, consist
 ing of President w. M. Kavanaugh, c. c. Colsson of Montgomery, F. E. Kuhn of Nashville, and Charles Frank of New Orleans, spent nearly the whole of today
 in a vigorous effort to frame schedule for 1911.
 Tonight President Kavanaugh said that
 it would probably require all of tomorrow to complete the task. Several times today the committee had a schedule completed Just as the members were congratulating themselves on the successful completion of their work one of them would dis cover that certain dates would not do at all. Whereupon the whole schedule would have to be thrown out and the task start ed all over again. The committee decided the first thing when they convened this morning they would not use last year 8 schedule, as had been suggested. It was stated that there were many complaints over the 1910 dates, and that the total mileage was almost as great as in 1909, despite the substitution of Chattanooga for Little Rock.
 If the members of the committee com rlete their work in time tomorrow they will be the guests of the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce at several func- tions

GRAY TOO BLACK

Clement Little. alias Gray, white man, was refused T place for the night at the Olympian hotel late yesterday evening because his face was too black; subsequently, he was given quarters at the city jail
 Little, alias Gray, had smeared his face and hands with burnt cork, as he stated last night at the jail, for the purpose of slipping up on another ne- gro' for whom a reward has been of fered in Mississippi. The police au- thorities were not inclined to give a credulous ear to the tale. but formed opinions of.their own and took the man into custody. According to the man, he lives at Tuscumbia. where he has a brother. He said that he had another brother in Birmingham, who works for the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 His tale may or may not be true, they speculate at police headquarters. It seems natural enough, they argue, that a man who wishes to capture an other should realize the advantage of matching his skin-hue, but it also seems a little strange that he should darken his brain with a drink or two when there is to be need of the think ing power. Perhaps, they add, the fel- low was only out for some fun.

taking charge of the sheriff's office until after the contest has been settled, al- leging that Bryce is not the legal sheriff
 because of the contest and for other reasons.
 The matter has assumed a most pecu- liar state. Although Sheriff Casey has secured an injunction issued by Judge Vert of the Morgan county law and
 equity court, restraining Bryce from taking charge of the office, yet MT.
 Bryce is advised by his attorneys that said injunction is void.
 While MT. Casey is still in the office and performing the functions of the sheriff, he is not the sheriff and has no legal right to the office. In fact, the injunction issued by Judge Vert carries
 with it no legal power to prevent MT. Bryce from taking the office, but acting on the advice of his attorneys, as a law abiding citizen, MT Bryce will obey the orders of the court and restrain from taking charge of the office until the hear ing of the injunction proceedings which will come before Chancellor William H. Simpson or Wednesday, the 25th inst " is presumed that the injunction will
 be desolved, and the work that may be
 done in the sheriff's office between now and that time for which fees are col lectable, will go to MT. Bryce in case the injunction is dissolved by Chancellor Simpson.
