A contributor to Farm ard Flreslde
says: American born citizens eat less
cheese per capita than any other country
where dairying and making are
carried on as a part of the nations farm
production. Our total consumption is
only about three pounds each for our
whole population in a year." He then
recalls the time-one hundred years ago
when cheese making was considered
necessary to the success of every first
class New England farm. and large
quantities were consumed by each fam
lily, and it was looked upon DIS part of
the regular diet. Later cheese-making
was generally given over to the factories
and cheese seldom appears on the farmers
table. In England cheese has long been
the chief article of diet, as meat there
has been too expensive for the poorer
classes, while Americans have become a
nation of meat eaters. Cheese-making
On the farm was given up because of the
labor it entailed upon the women of the
household and butter, making has been
largely given up for the same reason.
Cream is sold TO the creameries, which
ship it to Boston. where it is made into
butter and comes pack to be used on the
tables of the farmers and others, though
1t is inferior to the butter made at home
by our best dairymen, who, unfortunate
ly, do not make enough to supply the
local demands.
There is an editorial in the same mum.
Der Of Farm and Fireside advocating the
revival of the old smokehouse, in which
mention is made of the "country- cured
hams. brown as berries and having an
INDISPENSABLE aroma and neveY-to- 5e-for-
gotten flavor" Such pork products are
still to be had, hut not in New England,
although we recall seeing in Maine sugar
hogsheads used as a makeshift for a
smoke-house, and eating home-cured
sweet picked hams that tasted good.
Farm and Fireside says: "Official in
vestigations made right out in the hog
and hominy' belt of the Central West
show that only about 70 per cent of the
farmers cure enough meat for their own
use, and that less than five per cent have
any surplus for SALE" Pigs are shipped
to the big packing plants and come back
to the producers in hams and bacon, with
freight charges both ways, commissions
and profits. added to the selling price.
And, as is the case with butter, the pro-
duct of the packing houses is inferior in
flavor to the home cured article. The
saltpeter used by the packers to retain
the color of the meat hardens it and des-
troys the flavor. In one corn-belt State
it is estimated that the farmers annually
spends in excess of $1,000, 900 for meat
which they might easily provide on their
own farms. The figures in other States
are believed to be bigger. In order to
change these conditions the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture five years
ago inaugurated a farmers ham and
bacon show, and the exhibition has grown
until 1t is now one of the big features of
Farmers Week, as he annual convention
of Missouri farmers is called. The big
object is to get more farmers to cure the
meat needed for home use; to bring about
the revival of the country smokehouse.
Why not try this in Maine?

President Wilson cabled congratula-
tions to the Kaiser on his birthday, which
is according to custom as an internation-
al courtesy. But he refuses to allow the
message to be made public, which is con-
trary to precedent. If Woodrow Wilson
had sent personal message to the
Kaiser its publication could have been
withheld. But when the President of
the United States sends a message in
the name of the American people, the
people have right to know what he
says in that message.

The Boston Globe does not approve of
Increasing the, number of.holidays, which
it says are severe tax On business and
which stop the income OF many needy
families, as thousands OF persons are
paid by piecework or by the hour. Yet
we believe that the ones thus affected
will be found the most earnest advocates
of more holidays. The Globe says that
in India the natives used to have more
than 100 holidays, reducing the working
days in the year by third, but in pro-
gressive New ZEALAND only four holidays
are allowed, and 1t thinks that the worka-
day world has more in common with en-
Gghtened New Zealand than with an
Gent and decadent Rome or caste-ridden
India.

In an illustrated article on Halifax.
Nova Scotia, published in an American
Magazine of March, 1882, the writer
said of the loyalty of the Nova Scotians:
The hearty welcome extended to the
Prince of Wales when he landed at Hall
fax in 1860, to Prince Alfred in 1869, and
to the. Princess Louise and the Marquis of
Lorne but few months ago, illustrate
the devotion of the Nova Scotians to Vic

true today, not only of Nova Scotia but
of the loyalty of all Canada to the moth
er country. An article from the Boston
Herald, published last week, on Canada's
contributions in men, money and NUM-
tions, was remarkable exhibit of prac-
tical patriotism.

WRONG FEEDING METHODS.

National Crop improvement Service
There is an old story about a ship
captain who had a medicine chest. A
sailor was sick and he found that No.
AZ in his book was the indicated rem
edy, but alas! the bottle of No. AZ
was empty, SO he took equal parts OF
No. 40. which was st%rychnine, and
No. 7, which was carbolic acid, and
added them together and made No. At
and the sailor died.
The application of this old story Is
that many a feeder will think that IL
a little of cottonseed or oilseed meal
is good, a whole lot will be better.
And, like the man who put the green
spectacles on the horse and fed him
shayings-just after he got him
trained the horse died.
It Is human nature to experiment
in feeds, and the poor COW has To suf-
fer for an overdose or an u~nderdose
before the proper ration Is estab-
lished.

intensive Production of Munitions In
France Gives Them Chance.
Paris.-The intensive production of
munitions In France. with Its enor-
nous requirements In hand labor, has
opened up a new future for the deaf
and dumb, who before the var were
excluded from factory work. Now
hundreds of them are making shells
and parts OF automobiles and aero
planes for the army. Some are earning
the equivalent Of "a a day.
Manufacturers refused deaf and
dumb help previously because Of EN-
ployers' liability laws. There were
also prejudices against them because
of the supposed difficulty OF conveying
orders. In practice IL has been found
the deaf and dumb meet with no more
accidents than their comrades. They
learn even more quickly than do many
normal workmen, and their attention
never being diverted by conversation
their output is of the best finish and
equal I'm volume to that of the best me
chanics.
The minister OF armament has issued
a circular to directors of hand labor In
munition factories ordering them TO
prevent discrimination against deaf
and dumb applicants for employment
as mechanics.

BUYING FEED INGREDIENTS
Difficult to Buy Proper Feed Stuffs at
Random.

National Crop improvement seryiee.J
There are not a dozen feed stores
in the country that carry in stock all
the ingredients of a first-class mixed
feed at all times and at reasonable
prices, and usually they do not carry
feeds OF the same high quality used
by the mixers who work scientifically
through a laboratory. This is human
nature. Competition compels a dealer
to sell the cheapest quality. The best
quality of feed is seldom carried, be-
cause the average buyer will not pay
the highest price. A good many ex-
pertinent stations In a general way
will advocate that a farmer mix all
his own feed, but they are human like
the rest of us and they will use recog-
nized brands in their own feeding
operations rather than go to the trou-
BILE and take the time to follow their
own advice.
There are a good many herds at
experiment stations which are kept as
sort of a clinic for professors to prac-
tice theories upon. The poor brutes
are used a good deal as guinea pigs
In hospital practice. On the other
hand, at the experiment stations are
to be found many of the finest ami
mails ever bred.
The mixed feeds of the first grade
can be fed alone or in connection with
homegrown corn, oats or barley. To
do this widens your ration, and it Is
correct to do so If it will reduce your
cost of feeding. Mixed feeds, there
fore, are largely a matter of arith-
metic.
You can usually get the result for
! less money than by feeding more ex-
pensive grains separately
