The Largest Cheese
In The World

A ,964-lb. cheese, the largest ever
manufactured, was made at Appleton,
Wisconsin, June IL. The milk from
1000 cows on 800 farms was used.
The container for this cheese weighed
more than 5000 lbs. Seventy-three
cheesemakers in SO factories had a
part in converting 357,50O lbs. of milk
into the curd required for the i'm
mense dairy product.
When the containing vat was filled,
and COMPRISING machine had forced
the cover down, an ice-house was built
around the vat. The cheese will be
allowed to age in this ice-house until
ready to be shipped to packing com
pany in Chicago which will exhibit it

PEANUT PHILOSOPHY.

Despise not the day of small
things is principle most phiIosophic.
For instance, on the word of the Ma
tional Foreign Trade Council the pie
beian peanut is now to be regarded
as formidable factor in across seas
commerce. This development offers a
new opportunity to American farmers,
especially those who cultivate tic
sandy loans of some of the southern
and western states, and gives them a
wider interest in the expansion Of
American foreign trade. The reason
of this improvement in status for the
peanut is found in the discovery by
the British-hard put to it for food
during the war-that fine quality
of edible oil is produced from peanuts.
The National Foreign Trade Council
has information from London to the
effect that an official committee of
distinguished British scientists has been
appointed to study the question of ed
ible oils and fats and that this COM
mittee is now studying the humble
sEOundnuG's az they cali il in Eng.
Send, % see ~has Il can do to relieve
the pangs Of British hunger.
Where the special opportunity of
American farmers and exporters comes
in is through the decrease Of produc-
ton of peanuts in India and Africa
during the war. Those countries used
to export $4,000 ions of peanuts an
nually before the war and a good
share Of them came to the United
States, where with circuses, picnics,
baseball games, and other public at
fractions, our powers of peanut con-
5umption were expansive and expand
ing. But while this production was
decreasing during the war, importation
of peanuts into Great Britain was
growing from 1000 tons in 1913 to
$4,000 tons in 1918. This gives a
glimpse of the increasing market for
peanuts in England, and it is well
known that the peanut habit, once
formed, is we'll nigh unbreakable.
The French have long known the
beneficial uses of peanuts. AS long
ago as 1913 more than 100000 tons
were imported into France. That mar
ket will come back in short time,
and, coupled with the growing British
demand, it offers an attractive selling
place for American peanut growers.
American farmers have. not been much
accumtomed to take either peanuts or
foreign trade very seriously, but the
time has come for them to wake up
to the advantages of both.-Exchange.

METRIC WEIGHTS
AND MEASURES

Divers Weights and divers meas
ures both of them alike are abomina-
tion to the Lord. Proverbs, 20: 10.
Thinking men and women will do
well to consider the striking argu-
ments brought out by the World Trade
Club of San Francisco in their cam
paign for adoption of the units of the
metric system of weights and measures.
They show a striking anomaly:
That the metric system was invented
by a Briton. Watt, in 1888, and vet
all civilized nations have adopted It
exclusively excepting the United
States and Great Britain.
That the so-called British system"
Of weights and measures is of German
origin-a relic Of the old German Ham
seattle trade league yet Germany
scrapt it in 1871 and adopted the met
rlc system, invented by Briton.
People Of Britannia and America
may well ask themselves whether they
are not carrying conservation too far.
The metric system is no untried the
ory.
Its principle-the principle Of deci-
NAL computation-has been used in
the monetary system Of The United
States since 1886. If the United
States had needed Thomas Jefferson
we should also have adopted this sys-
TEN Of weights and measures based on
decimals-so simple system that
child can learn its main features in ten
minutes. We know how well it works
with money. 1t will work equally well
with WEIGHTS and measures.

the ball rolling. What we all need IS
to look the subject up.
