BEST PACKAGES FOR CHEESE
Boxes Are Subjected to Rough Treat
ment In Handling and Should
Be Good and Strong.

Certain characteristics Of American
cheese, most valuable for export pur-
poses, In addition to good flavor, in
cIude firm, close-bodied texture, clean
and sound rind, and strong, well-made
packages. The favored export style
Is the large so-called ''cheddar,"
weighing from go to 80 pounds, al
though of later years good many
twins" have been exported. Twins"
weigh about 35 pounds each, and are
packed two in box.
The matter of the package is very
important, ,as the boxes are subjected
to rough handling In loading and un-
loading. The most satisfactory boxes
are sufficiently large for me entire
cheese, for with cheese higher than
the box, the pressure Of other boxes
piled on top destroys the shape OF
the cheese and injuries the rind.
II is common In the United States
to paratfin most of the cheese market
ed week or ten days after the cheese
is made, which permits free moisture
to escape and allows for the usual
shrinkage. During the spring, sum-
mer, and autumn, the use Of refriger-
ator cars. where temperature of IS
degrees to 40 degrees f. may be main
tanned, is important in shipping, 1t
has been found as result of expert
ments conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture.

Back In 1912, when Mr.. Taft was
President, and when the gross ex-
penditures of the government were
about one-quarter of what they are
now, he became exercised and con-
cerned about the higgledy-piggledy, I'M
scientific, disorderly. grabbing methods
by which your money was expended
for public purposes. He said then
what is equally true now, that the
activities of the national government
"are almost as varied as those of the
entire business world. The operations
Of the government affect the interest
Of every person living within the
Jurisdiction of the United States. Its
organization embraces stations and
centers Of work located in every city
and in many local subdivisions Of the
country.
This vast organization has never
been studied In detail as one piece
Of administrative mechanism. Never
have the foundations been laid for
thorough consideration Of the relations
Of all Its parts. No comprehensive ef-
fort has been made to list Its multi
farious activities or to group them
In such way as to present a clear
picture of what the government Is
doing. Never has complete descrip-
ton been given of the agencies through
which these activities are performed.
AT no time has the attempt been
made to study all of these activities
and agencies with a view to the as
signment of each activity to the
agency best fitted for its performance,
to the avoidance of duplication Of
plant and work, to the indignation OF
all administrative agencies Of the
government, so far as may be
practicable, into unified organization
for the most effective and economical
dispatch of public business"
This extraordinary and indefensible
situation. which exists today as fully
and completely as II did when Mr..
Taft portrayed II seven years ago,
came about quite naturally and simply
through our tolerance and slackness.
For years and years the government
lived and grew and extended its &C
tiyities on Santa Claus money. Its In
come came as easily as money In
4 letter, For years and years the
national income was greater than the
expenses. Every year there was
surplus.
The government was precisely In the
position of the Rockefellers and the
Carnegies and the Rotlischilds. It's
problem was not how TO get money
enough TO live OF. but how 60 spend
ITS income. II naturally got In the
way OF throwing some Of II TO the
ssrds. II lived like o remittance man.

You may remember that back In the
time of the first Cleveland admin stra-

Mr.. Gilbert, the present undersecre-
tary of the treasury. in an address
sad:
1.-THE estimates for the year 1920
show that over billion dollars Of ex-
penditures were authorized by the last
session of congress in addition to the
amount shown in the usual compiled
statements of appropriations. In fact,
the practice has reached such proper
lions as to be almost q national
scandal. and II was vigorously de-
nounced In the Presidents last annual
message.
Ut has become the first principle
of strategy on the part of people In
terested in appropriations for various
special purposes to frame the matter
so as to authorize the use of the
public funds indirectly, or In Indefinite
terms. or by authorization for ex-
penditure of unexpended balances, per-
hans appropriated originally for other
purnoses. or by authorizations 10
divert government receipts before they
ever reach the treasury. Efforts are
made to fired general words which do
not speak in terms OF appropriations
and cannot be readily calculated.
"Tbe last session of the present
congress for example, authorized ad-
ditional expenditures out OF balances
of prior appropriations and from re-
GENTS TO the amount Of over $500 co.,

Some form of cooperative breeding
is essential to the proper growth of

the country, for the reason that the

that the owner cannot afford to buy a
good purebred bull, and 1t is certain
that the herds of the future will not

more people living on farms and in viii
ages to keep family cows tends to
diminish the average size of the herd.
for the one or two cows kept by each
family are really herd in themselves,
but owners of small herds cannot af-
ford to keep a bull. They, therefore,
depend upon neighboring bulls and
the cooperative association is ore
