Making Cheese in olden Days.

Cheese was made by the old-time
farmers in the summer on the coop
erative plan by which four cattle own
ers, owning say IA mich cows, re
ceived all the milk night and morning,
according to the daily yield of their
little herd. Thus given two families
having five cows each. one with three
and one with one, supposing that the
average yield per COW was the same,
in two weeks. two owners would make
five cheeses each; one would press
three, and one only one cheese. but
this one would be as good and as large

Food Value of Buttermilk.

An ordinary glass of buttermilk con
tains about as much nutriment as two
ounces OF bread, a good sized potato
or a half pint of oysters, says a re
cent bulletin of the United States de.
partment of agriculture. 1t thus con
tains about the same food constituents
as skim milk, but it has an added by
gienic value because the protein is
more easily digested than the protein
in skim milk, and therefore is often
prescribed by physicians for children
and invalids. especially those suffering
from intestinal troubles.
Protein. being the most costly of
food ingredients. is the one most like
ly to be lacking in inexpensive meals.
and this is the nutrient which both
skim milk and buttermilk supply in a
cheap and useful form. and when TAX
en- with bread or used in cooking they
form very nutritious addition to
the diet. Two and one half quarts OF

perhaps the greatest factor affecting
the duty Of water is that OF cultva d.

been practically solved. Crops that

evaporation from an uncultivated field
in a single month is four times that OF

Why They Leave the Farm.

Just the other day | met stalwart
young fellow whose every appearance
would indicate he was the son OF the
soil, says writer in Farm and Fire
side. Six years ago he left the old
home. At that time he had very little
education, but by sturdy, Industrious
labor he has won out and today is
a promising young lawyer He told
me that the first year he left the farm
he obtained employment i'll a machine
shop at what seemed to his mind a
large sum Of money, $l2 week. He
worked hard for nearly three months
when one day he received telegram
from his father asking him to return
at once
Having left delicate little mother
he rushed home with all haste, fearing
to find Some great trouble at the end
OF his journey. His father met him
at the station and calmly explained
that his hired man had left and h.
could not get his hay in alone. My
young hero, not daunted in the least.
informed his father that he had given
up his job TO return home and asked
what pay he was to receive for his
work. The father promised certain
small sum After two months hard
work the son asked for money to buy
a suit of clothes, and received it. AT
the end OF the season. when the young
man wanted final settlement he was
put off from time to time. and at last
went away to the city with an empty
pocket and heart full of resentment"

REAL FARMING.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
FARMER BLEW
OUT HIS BRAINS
SARGENT COUNTY FARMERS su-
IciDEs BY THE SHOTGUN
ROUTE.

Cogswell. N. d, June John Wes-
ley Hartman, living on the Bohnen-
kanpt farm three and q half miles
southwest OF town, committed suicide
by blowing u his brains with a dou-
BILE barreled shotguns His body was
found by his wife and his s~ister-in-
law at the northwest corner Of the
granary, his head blown open and his
brains scattered over the building.
Coroner Saylor was notified and re-
paired % the scene at once. He
found the body where it had fallen,
the shotgun with which the terrible
deed var committed lay across the
dead mans arm with an empty shell
in one barrel. The left hand with which.
the trigger had been pulled was burn
ed by the powder, indicating that he
held the gun against his head, at arms
length and had deliberately taken his
own life. The coroner closely cues
toned those who had known the dead
man and decided that an inquest was
unnecessary.
No reason can be assigned for the
rash act except that the mans mind
was unbalanced and has beer unbal-
anced off and on for the past three
years. Some two years ago, it will be
remembered, he suddenly disappeared,
leaving no word as to where he was
going OF giving a reason for his dis
appearance. He returned after a time
and went back to his family. He and
his brother had rented the Bohnen-
kampt farm last fall and lived in the
same house with their families.
Deceased and his wife had a slight
misunderstanding during the forenoon
Friday over a horse, but nothing was
thought Of 1t. When the shooting oc-
CURED the women were out in the yard,
on the side of the house opposite the
granary. They heard the shot but did
not realize what 1t was. The brother
was in the house amusing himself by
playing on a horn. He also heard the
shot but 1t sounded to him like some
one throwing a stone against the bind
er which stood in the back yard.
When Hartman did o show up they
started out to look for him. They
went through the grove. and the WON
en- finally ran onto the body lying at
the northwest corner of the granary
where IT was left until the coroner ar
rived.
Deceased was % years old and had
been married about six years. His
wife was formerly Miss Jahnke. They
had no children. They came to North
Dakota about four years ago.
