GUARD cHEESES BY PARAFFIN
Protecting Coat Prevents Considerable
Loss'of Weight by Evaporation
Method Is New.

Nearly all cheese OF the cheddar
type made in the United States is
paraffin before it reaches the public.
Yet it is not more than six years since
it became general practice, and less
than ten that parafiining to protect
from loss OF weight was first brought
to the attention OF cheese handlers.
At first the process was in order to
improve the appearance, but when it
was found that the protecting coat
OF paraffin to a great extent prevented
the considerable loss of weight by
evaporation it became the usual treat
ment. A circular. No. ISL, bureau of
animal industry, recently issued By
the United States department OF agri-
culture discussing the methods and
results OF paraffining cheese, con-
cludes that 1t is an effective way OF
preventing losses in weight, and the
growth of mold; that for one to ten
seconds in a parsffin bath at 220 de-
grees F. is sufficient; that treatment
on the third day after coming from
the press gives the best results; and
that cheese should not be allowed to
remain in a warm curing room for
more than one day after parattining.

Use Of griqht colors.

Though gray is again to be in great
favor, yet there are to be some lovely
bright colors seen in dress this sea-
son, and our modistes are unlikely to
forget that the success Of all such
bright colors lies in the moderation
with which they are used.
At a sensational dress show last
week the draped skirt and the bunch
ed pannier were features of many of
the models and the modified color
touch proved once more how telling it
is For instance. a fawn colored, en-
broidered tussore coat and skirt had
Chinese red collar. which gave it a
cachet. From this exhibition we learn
ed that black patent leather is again
in favor for belts, and that oriental
embroidery is in greater demand than
ever.

Home. The posts are set 80 inches
IN the ground and placed 10 feet
apart. No. 9 galvanized wire is run
through holes in the posts. This has
proven to be one of the great attrac-
tions of the fence, as there are no
staples to pull or rust out and the
wires are always held in their proper
position A ratchet is placed on the
end post and the wires can be kept
tight at all times.
With monkey wrench and winding
ratchet the wire on the entire length
Of fence is stretched at one time. The
wire can be loosened in the fall of the
year and frightened in the spring, and
in this way the fence can be kept in
perfect condition at all times. Wood
posts were used from the farm wood
lot, but where all materials need to
be purchased, concrete posts with
holes for wire would not only be the
cheapest, but a fence put up in this
manner would last lifetime.
Al fence must have strong and we'll

good brace for this purpose The

In the ground and are a foot in diam

COW and her feed. It is generally be-

long as possible.

White for Mournlna.

So much white is being introduced
into mourning these days that even
first mourning hats are allowed to
show relieving line of white. and
many models are deliberately trimmed
with white crepe, which is very ef-
fective against the black crepe or dull
mourning silk
One of the quaintest models of this
sort seen recently is large bonnet
shape that would look especially well
on young face. The bonnet proper
is of heavy mourning silk. but it has
a narrow turned back brim all around

cerise, or linen, or white, have proved
