1t Is pleasure for US to present
in another column a comment on
Brother Kelly by Mr.. A. L. Katz.
What Mr.. Katz says is no more than
we would like to say, but we pass it
up to him, as possibly he has said it
in better words than we could have
done. 1t was impossible for US to
learn how many were who pledged
their faith, but in. all (including all
those going to the other churches be-
sides the Methodist) there were over
one hundred.

Roy goes on record of stating that
this breed of hogs will make greater
gains on far less feed than any other
one breed, and he said that this fact
was demonstrated before his neigh.
bors. The quality Of the meat far
surpasses any, and he is backed up in
this by his neighbors. It has a sweet
flavor. high keeping quality and is SO
tender that it will almost melt in your
mouth.
This breed Of hogs is not like the
proverbial greedy hog, they will eat a
little Of their feed at one time, lie
down and digest it, then come for more
and in that way smaller amount Of
feed will go further and make greater
gains because every ounce OF it is
converted into bone and muscle. An.
other interesting feature of this breed
is that no matter how hungry they
were or who approaches, one would
not know that there were any. hogs
about because they do not squeal. Roy
said that he has not heard one Of
them squeal yet. This may sound like
a pretty strong statement, but l can
vouch for the hogs and / can vouch
that Roy is an honest man.
In prolificy they have anything in
the hog kingdom outclassed, produc-
ing litters ranging from 13 to Is pigs,
and in addition the sows have never
yet killed pig, usually raising the
entire litter, which in my opinion
makes the best mother of the hog
breed.
AS far as / can see, l believe that
Mr.. Pierson has every desirable quail
ity that one could wish for in a hog,
and l for one could wish him the
greatest success on his venture and
congratulate him upon his initiative
and good judgment. ] only regret
that there are not more hogs OF that
breed in this country, not forgetting
the dairy COW as a part of the com,
bination Of corn, potatoes, hogs and
cattle.

ACCEPTABLE R0QUtF0RT CHEESE MADE
IN UNITED STATES FROM cows MILK

milk testing 3.s per cent fat was
worth $500 per 100 pounds.
Sheep have Dcen bred for centuries
in the vicinity OF Roquefort. France,
for making the cheese. 1t Is doubt
full whether such a milking strain can
be found in the United States. espe-
cially in sufficient numbers to war
rant the establishment Of an industry
based on Sleeps milk. Cows milk
has. therefore. been used. II is be-
lieved that the prejudice against the
slightly yellower color of cows milk
Roquefort can be broken down by
proper advertising and selling
methods.
The peculiar condition found at
Roquefort lies In the natural curing
rooms furnished by tho limestone
caves in the hills around that town.
These caves have n temperature of
10 to so degrees Farenheit the year
round. Artificial cold storage as prac-
ticed in the United states can easily
keep the cheese that cold, but II ia
likely To be too dry. and without the
proper degree of humidity in the air,
the cheese cannot ripen.
Tho trick that had TO be turned in
making Roauefort cheese in the
United States was to learn how to
regulate the temperature and the hu-
midity at the same time, to furnish
exactly the right degree OF each. This
has now been successfully accom-
plishod, and carried out on a COM
mercial scale. Roduefort cheese Is
kept in curing rooms five or six
months
In any cheese. what IL called cur
ing or ripening means simply leaving
the cheese alone In the right sur
roundinss so that tho microscopic
life. known as bacteria In some cases
and in other cases mold. can de-
velop and ferment the cheese to the

PROVES THE MERITS
OF SUMMER FALLOW
FOR DRY LAND GRAIN

From The Two Butts Sentinel:
W. !. Sharpnack of Plains waR in
Two Butts on business. states that 20
acres Of summer fallow wheat on his
farm this year made 2s bushels to the
acre. and that so acres of sod wheat
averaged 20 bushels to the acre. This
spring he bought a new combine to
take care of his harvest
Mr.. sharpnack ia summer failow
enthusiast. lie came to the Plains soc.
ton from HaStun in the spring Of
1870 He bought three dusrter-zecfirrr
OF land and broke the sod for the crop
he has tuet harvested.
MI Sharpnack SAYS he Is going TO
mold for summer fallow next year the
land he grew wheat on this year. and
that he intends to put In $50 acres Of
sod wheat this fall. He had the sod
broke about two months ago to- give It
the advantage of summer fallow cond,-
tions.
He statee that he believes the best
results can be obtained on wheat land
by nlowlng only every third year after
the sod Is broken deep. and by thoroly
discing the ground in the. intervening z
years This process nays MT sharp

Almost the entire worlds supply OF
Roquefort cheese comes from Avcy-
ron. a department or county in south
ern France. 1t is made principally
OF sleeps milk. and ripenea in
caves. The steady demand in this
country for the green-mold varieties
of cheese, especially Roauefort. has
led specialists in the dairy division OF
the United States department of agri-
culture to experiment with the COM
mercial manufacture of domestic
Roquefort cheese. As II would be i'm
possible to obtain sufficient supply
of suitable Sleeps milk. cows milk
has been used. The chief effect is TO
give the cheese slightly yellower
color. Tho temperature, humidity
ard peculiar ventilation of the Rogue
fort caves which are favorable to mold
growth and proper ripening of tho
cheese. have been approximated at
Grove City. Pa. in special curing
rooms. Considerable cows milk
Roquefort cheese of good quality has
been produced and marketed from
