BETTER QUALITY OF CHEESE
Principal Cause of sourness Is Use Of
Overripe MiIk--condition Can
Be Prevented.

Much can be done at the farm in
helping to produce only the best quail
ity of cheese, which will command the
highest price, give complete satisfac-
ton to the best class of trade, and pre-
vent loss to the cheese factory.
During the summer one of the most
common complaints from the trade is
due to sour or acid cheese. The prin-
cipal cause Of sour cheese is the use
of overripe milk. Although milk may
be ripened too far before the whey is
drawn in the cheesemaking process by
an inexperienced cheesemaker, much
of it is overripe when brought from
the farm to the factory. The most
successful cheesemakers, as rule, are
those who have secured the co-opera-
ton of their patrons in the care and
delivery of their milk to the factory in
first-class condition.

Dog-Worked Railroads.

When the transport of supplies
through the snow in the Vosges last
year was of urgent Importance, the
French authorities conceived the idea
of using dog-drawn sleighs, and sew
eral hundred trained animals from
Alaska, northwestern Canada and
Labrador were obtained. With the
end of the snow the dogs continued to
be found useful. They are now being
harnessed to small two-fOot-gauge
light railroads which run everywhere
behind the front, and they are very
capable. Eleven dogs with couple of
men can haul load of ton up some
of the most precipitous slopes in the
mountains, and two teams of seven
dogs each can do the work of five
horses in this difficult country with a
very great economy of men. OF the
three breeds in service the best is the
Alaskan.

White signal lights, which mean
clear" or proceed" have been aban-
doned by the Pennsylvania railroad,
because the increasing use of white
light in buildings and streets close to
the railroads right of way may con-
fuse the engineers and lead to rear-end
collisions.
The white lights are replaced by
green, which are visible at great
distance. This change makes neces-
sary a general revision of the signals
throughout the system. A bright vel
low, which can be seen for miles, will
be used for caution. Red will con-

RAILROADS NOT AT FAULT
People Who Trespass on Tracks to
Blame for a Disaster That
Overtakes Them.

There is q phase of carelessneSs on
the part of the public that can be
cured by nothing but drastic methods
-trespassing on railroad tracks. Walk
ing along or across railroad tracks
makes q short cut for thousands of
men going to and coming from work,
and they take advantage Of it, without
regard to the fact that they are actual
treSpassers, that they have no more
right on the railroad track or right of
way than they have to cross their
neighbours lawn or garden, and at
tempts to prevent such trespass by leg
islative enactment usually meets indig-
nant protest.
The total number of such trespassers
killed in the United States is given in
the latest report of the interstate COM
merce commission as 5,471 and of
these only rs were killed in train acct
dents. The others met death through
their own carelessneSs or wilfulness,
for there are always warnings posted
against trespasSing on railroad prop
erty. The number of injured is placed
in the same report at over 5000.
In Massachusetts there were 14S
trespassers killed in the last year for
which returns have been made, and in
the year preceding, 175. The average
number of trespassers killed in the
preceding ten years was 147

CAUSE GRAY HAIRS
TRAINMEN TELL OF NARROW
ESCAPES FROM DEATH.
Florida Railroader the Only Survivor
of Crew When Caboose Was
CrumpIed Up-Veteran Tells of
Humorous Experience.

Miraculous escapes of trainmen are
frequent occurrences. Perhaps no
man attending their convention has
had q closer call than r. J. Perkins,
Lakeland, Fla.
Perkins is young in the service of
the A. G. l.. railroad, but he has had
about all the experience he wants.
Two years ago, while in the freight
service, he thought his time had come.
He was sitting in his caboose with
members of his crew, when an engine,
running light, struck the caboose from
the rear. There was a crash and the
caboose crumpled up into nothing I'M
der q heavy flat car of road ballast
just in front. Perkins was picked up
from the debris with a slight fracture
of the skull and broken shoulder.
Every other man in the caboose was
killed.

gray-whiskered, halls from Pennsyl-
vania. For 81 years he has been in
the service of the Pennsylvania, AZ of
that period as conductor. He has
experienced almost every kind of a
thrill in that time, but has escaped I'M
scathed.
Once Henry tumbled down a 80
foot embankment with his caboose,
car, saved his life when the car stood
straight up on end after q head-end
collision, by grabbing the life-rail
above his head, while the heavy trunks
went crashing down below him.
To get back to the "smile side" of
the conductors life, "Uncle Sam tells
another:
In the days long gone by, trains
didn't run as fast as they do now, aN'l
passengers complained about their
slowness just as much as they do now.
A big, fat woman had just boarded his
train with large family in tow. The
train pulled out slowly as "Uncle
Sam" asked for tickets. She dis
covered she had forgotten them, start
ed eXcitedly to explain, and then, re-
signedly, pointing out of the window,
said:
"See, there's my husband in that
buggy. I forgot to get them from him,
but he'll discover he's got 'em and
catch up with us at Coleman. Don't
worry"
And, strange to say, according to
this old-timer, the husband, lathered
horses and tickets were waiting for
the train when Coleman, seven miles
distant, was reached.

A JOKE ON JUSTICE.

For weeks the body of William Shaw
had been hanging in chains from glib
bet near Edinburgh. In daylight and
darkness, in sunshine and storm, the
poor husk Of that unfortunate man
swung and creaked. Such a spectacle
was not uncommon two hundred years
ago, but usually the victim had friends
or sympathizers, who gave the passing
tribute of tear. William Shaw, how
ever, was an object of general execra-
ton; and passersby shook their fists
at his swaying form and said his fate
was too good for him. Parents took
their children to see that shriveled relic
of humanity, for no moral lessons could
be too violent in those days, and eau
toned them to mark and remember the
punishment of man who slew his own
daughter, as bonnie lass as there
was in Edinboro town.
Then one day a clergyman and sew
eral officers of the law, followed by
many citizens, went to that wayside
gibbet and tenderly took down all that
was left of William Shaw. The re-
mains were borne to the consecrated
ground Of church cemetery, and there
buried with all pious forms. The min
lister made talk that melted all the
hearers to tears; and representatives
Of the law planted flag on the grave
when the dirt had been filed In.
For justice had made terrible blum
der, and was doing what she could to
remedy things. 1t wasn't much, and

retain it's distinctive coloring when
seen at a great distance. The difficulty
with the yellow lights has been that
at long range they have resembled
white so closely that engineers have
been unable to distinguish between
them.
A yellow glass which produces a
vivid yellow light that can be distin'
guished from white as far as it can be
seen has been perfected after years
Of experimenting. In announcing the
changes to be made the railroad says
"The proposed signal system has
been tried out on the extreme eastern
end of the New York division and has
been found to work satisfactorily. II
is also being adopted in parts of the
country off the Pennsylvania RAILROAD
lines, so that desirable uniformity vii
be obtained"
