Making Soft Cheese
Inn the Home
BY j. A. Nelson
Montana State College

Under ordinary home conditions
soft cheeses can be made with very
little difficulty. The most common
soft cheeses can be made by the fol-
lowing recipes.
NeufchateI Cheese - Take 20
pounds of whole milk and pasteurize
by heating to 145 degrees F. and
holding for rs minutes. This may
be done by putting the milk in a pail
and placing the pail in larger yes
sci which is partly filled with hot
water. The larger vessel may be
placed on the stove and the milk
stirred at intervals till the desired
temperature is reached. After hold
ing at the pasteurizing temperature
for 25 minutes cool the milk to 72
degrees F. or about room tempera-
ture. The cooling may be accomplish
ed by letting cold water flow around
the outside vessel and stirring the
milk at intervals. Add about one
half cup of clean sour milk and
twelve drops of rennet extract which
has been diluted in one-half glass of
cold water. An equivalent amount of
rennet in tablet form may be used
instead of the rennet extract if de-
sired. In about 1920 hours firm
curd will be formed and the curd
should then be drained. Dip the curd
into white linen sacks, old flour sacks
will do very we'll, and hang over the
sink to drain. After the free whey
has drained off fold the top of the
cloth and set pail of water on the
sack to act as weight, which aids
very materially in the draining pro-
cess. Stir the curd at intervals and
let the weight remain on top until all
the whey is expelled or till no whey
can be squeezed out by pressing some

Method of Diagnosis


The surest means of diagnosis,
however, is on the carcass of the
chicken after killing. The liver in
diseased birds will be three or four
times its normal size and the sur
face will be more or less spotted
with yellowish-white areas varying
in size from a mere point to the
size of a pea. These spots are
rounded nodules, quite hard. The
nodules are found throughout the
substance of the liver.
Avian tuberculosis is an infec-
tious disease. Diseased fowls
brought into the flock give the dis
ease its start. The practice of ex-
changing cockerels with neighbors
is responsible for its spread to
large extent. The droppings from
a diseased bird infect the grounds
and poultry house. There is little
doubt that sparrows and pigeons
are means of helping transmit the
disease, not only from ranch to
ranch, but from one pen of fowls
to another.
The ideal way, and surely the
quickest and surest way to eradi-
cate avian tuberculosis, is to des-
troy the entire flock of hens, aban-
don or destroy the old poultry
house and start new flock in new
quarters. Those who have fought
the disease know that a "clean
sweep" is the cheapest way in the
end. Feeding of various poultry
attempting to control by
1isinfecting and killing off of the
birds that show symptoms of the
is not control of the dis
case in any sense. Unless the old
md infected poultry house is we'll
and can serve for no
,ther purpose, it is hardly worth |
while to save it. Poultrymen must |
'ealize that avian tuberculosis is a
serious disease, and use serious
measures to control it.
Starting the New Flock
If it is decided to use the old
poultry house, the following plan
will be found best. Start a new
lock as early. as possible in the
pring, either by Matching under a
healthy hen, Matching from an in
:ubator or buying day-old chicks
rom some breeder. Keep the
hicks in tightly enclosed yard
hat no infected bird may mix with
hem. In the meantime the dis
:ased flock may be kept in its old
quarters. Eggs from the old flock
nay be used freely and without
ny danger for purposes of food,
nd the healthy birds may be killed
or meat. Birds visibly sick or
weak should be killed at once and
he carcass burned. When birds
rom the old flock are killed they
hould be examined carefully. If
he liver is free from spots and
here are no other signs of the dis
'ase, the meat should be used.
When the young flock ap-
'roaches maturity and needs per-
nanent shelter, the remainder of

TOP PRICE FOR
WOOL THIS YEAR
SHEEP MEN SITTING STEADY IN
THE BOAT ASSURED OF
FAT PROFIT
1t is Expected that the Montana Price
Will be from Al to so Cents; Lamb
Crop VIII be Unusually Large This
Year.

There is no disposition on the part
of wool growers in the western states
to sell their 1923 clip in advance OF
shearing season, and a large number
have already consigned their wool
according to Matt Staff of Chicago,
president of the National Wool Ware
house and Storage company, who has
arrived in Montana from a trip over
South Dakota and Wyoming. Pre-
viously, Mr.. Staff visited wool Sec
tions in Utah and Idaho.
COnsignments Double This Year
There have been a few scattered
sales ranging from Al to 461h cents
pound, said Mr.. Staff, but these
were an exception to the rule, and
none has been sold in Montana.
Price offerings, with no takers
heard of, in Arizona range around 81
cents, and the famous Jericho pool
in Utah is taking so cents a pound.
On the basis of these early figures,
from AZ to SO cents a pound is ex-
pected to be offered in Montana. Con-
this year will total in vol
ume far above that of 1923, however,
said Mr.. Staff.
Lamb Crop Larger
The lamb crop of this year will be
unusually large, and this, with profit
able returns realized on the clip, will
place the growers well on their way
toward the enjoyment of better than
normal financial conditions, said Mr..
Staff.

Instructing Farmers on
Federal Grain Grades

A campaign which has as its OBJ
ject the giving of the farmer accurate
knowledge of federal grain grades,
and how they are applied, is being
carried on in Montana this spring un-
der direction of Supt. w. o. Whit
comb of the Montana Grain Inspec-
ton Laboratory. During February
and March, 16 meetings were held in
five counties, 377 farmers hearing
the explanations of federal grades.
The next step in this work will be
a grain grading school, for county
agents, at Malta on April 81 and %.
Here county agents will be given the
full explanation of the federal grain
grading work so they may in turn
pass the knowledge on to the farmer.
The February and March meetings.
were held under direction of county
agents in Golden Valley, Fergus, Fall
lon, Rosebud and Richland counties.
Government estimates for the past
three years show that 74.4 per cent
of Montana wheat has graded No. /
as compared with a percentage of
1873 for other states. Premium alsoI
is commonly paid for Montana wheat
and wheat from this state has main
tanned consistent superiority on theI
At the meetings demonstrations
were given in the use of apparatusl
used in the actual federal grading.
Grading is by sample inspection and
by car inspection. Points in thel
grading include: determination of
moisture, odor, dockage, test weight
per bushel, class, mixture of wheat
foreign material not dockage,l
kernels, smut and INSOFAR
able stones.

New Health Stunt

Saltwater county boys and girls OF
many school districts will try out a
new health stunt Scores of boys
and girls have promised Miss Doris
Ingram, county extension agent, that
they will eat no candy during the
month and that they will carry milk
to school with their lunch. Small
packages of raisins will be eaten in
preference to candy for a month, it
is said.
This is part of Miss Migrants nu-
triton work with school children of
the county. Children of the entire
school in Absarokee, White Bird,
Mott, Rapelje, Park City and Column
bus are weighed regularly each
month. The total figure for the
month showed gain in weight for
the school children.

In building a new home in the
country proper planting of grove
of trees for protection and for max
ing the farm more beautiful should
not be overlooked. That Montana
farmers realize the value of trees is
shown by the large number of groves
that are being started in all sections
of the state.
Trees do unusually we'll in this Ia
titude, though care should be exer-
cised by the farmer in selecting the
variety to be grown, picking those
that are best adapted to the country.
Many farmers believe that the
ideal way to lay out a grove is in a
square. After choosing site for the
buildings, so that it can be done,
they plant trees on the east, west
and north, leaving the south side
open. In this state prevailing winds
are from the three directions to be
protected.
If it is found impracticable to
plant the grove in the shape of a
square, then many prefer to plant. in
an l. shape.
Avoid CrOwdlng Trees
In planting grove the farmer
should avoid crowding his trees up
against the buildings. Plenty of
room should be left for all future
buildings, hay stacks, barns, out
buildings, machinery lots and road
ways to drive in, turn around and
drive out again. Twenty-Five rods
each way is none too much.
1t is a we'll known fact that dur
ing a blizzard the snow will drift
through the trees and lodge just in
side. If the trees crowd against the
buildings then the snow will be lodg-
ed against them.
Growing Small Trees
So many trees are required for a |
good sized grove that it is not prac-
teal as a rule to purchase them from |
a nursery, so that the farmer has |
to raise them from seeds. These
seeds should be planted in the best
garden soil, after the seed bed has
been carefully prepared. They should |
be planted as thick as garden peas.
1t is possible to plant these seeds
in the fall of the year, if done before
the ground is frozen. Otherwise,
they should be planted first thing in
the spring.
Cultivate the plants as soon as they
appear in the springtime, often and
Guard against cutworms
and other enemies of trees. If the
season is favorable the trees should
go into next winter at least fifteen
inches tall.

Last year it was estimated that
fifty per cent of the flocks of poul-
try in Montana had tubercular
chickens. The disease is hard to
detect in its first stages. 1t does
not seriously affect egg production
at first, but is marked later by the
steady loss of hens and decreasing
production. 1t makes its way slow
ly but surely through the flock, tin-
til the majority of the flock is af-
fected by the time the older birds
show definite signs of the disease.
The older birds are the first to
show symptoms, usually becoming
lame, weak and very thin. The
average Leghorn hen which should
weigh three pounds will weigh
scarcely one pound when affected
by avian tuberculosis. The hen
may or may not show signs of diar-
rhoea, and the comb and wattles
usually are pale. The diseased hen
has a ragged appearance and gen
orally is "mopy" or "droopy." AT
fected hens often will stay on the
-oost until noon, frequently all day. |
1t is common thing among affect
ID flocks to find few hens on the
-oost all day.
