The following i ; sort to the Plain- dealer by a pyecul correspondent. Mr. Editor -1 will send you an other cheeso receive, as we m:ulo it in St. Lawrence county, X. Y. A tin or galvanized iron tub will do to set the milk in, and there must be a larger tub to set this inside of, so tho tem perature can be raised by pouring hot water in tho outer tub. A large wash tub will answer. For a press a 2x4 scantling will make the lever, and weights can bo hung on it in a box. A hoop made of tin or wood, in which to press tho cheese, with a wooden follower or cover enough smaller than tho hoop, so that it will not bind; a box with auger holes bored in the bottom, or a wide board creased as for making lye. Some cloths a j'ard square of thin muslin, to use in draining and press ing the curd; a thermometer and some smooth shelves; preferably of hardwood, where no mice can go, on which to cure the cheese. One or more rennets from tho butcher. Soak a part of rennet in cold water for a day or two, adding as much aalt as will dissolve. Add enough rennet to the milk to make the cheese "come" in about forty minutes about a dessertspoonful for six gallons of milk. The cream should be left on the night's milk and thoroughly stirred in and this should be warmed, so that when the morning's milk is added to it the temperature will be 80 degrees. Stir thoroughly for some minutes, and then cover with a cloth, to keep tho temperature even, and let it stand. In thirty or forty minutes it will be thickened like clabbered milk. To. know when it is ready to cut, dip the fingers in it and raise a small piece of the curd, and if it will support it above the level for a few seconds it is right. Now, with a strip of tin for a knife, cut it both ways half an inch apart, and the whey will begin to form. Twenty minutes later cut it again as fine as possible, and now begin rais ing the temperature by pouring hot water in the outside tub. The tin tub should stand on some thing to raise it an inch or so, in order to let the hot water run under it. The temperature should be raised gradually up to 100 degrees, and it should be an hour and a half in reach- img this point During the heating, the curd should be stirred gently from tho bottom occasionally, to keep it from forming lumps, and keep it in small pieces, so that the whey can act on every part of it. When the temperature reaches 100 degrees, stop stirring it, and let it stand until the pieces get tough and springy, so that when a handful of it is squeezed and the hand opened quickly it will fly apart and the pieces will remain separate; but if it is soft and soggy, and sticks together, it must stand longer. Drain off the whey by slipping it into the drainer, with a cheese cloth spread over it; then draw the corners of the cloth thightly over it and put on a light weight, and let it drain a short time. Then slice it and cool by pouring cold water over it; chop or break it fine and salt at the rate of 1 ounce of salt to each three gallons of milk used, and put it to press. Put a cloth in the hoop and fold evenly over the top of the cheese, and put the follower on, press lightly at first and after a little harder. You can not press too hard. The cheese should be turned once while pressing, and a clean cloth used. The cheese should be bandaged before putting on the curing shelves, and should be rubbed with lard; red pepper mixed with the lard will keep the flies from them. Tarn them every day, and rub with the hand and a little lard or butter, to keep them from molding and to destroy any eggs of tho cheese fly. In about three weeks they will be cured enough to eat, but will improve in quality for some weeks longer. A teaspoon of pulverized copperas given a cow once a week will keep her in proper condition.

ROSEBURG'S LOSS IS K1NNEY- VILLE'S GAIN. half the on the but the of hav Last uight, about S:3o o'clock while the religious were listening attentively to a discourse on the scriptures and the irreligious were not, a groat roar as of thunder in a thousand hills awoke the stillness, which, as a rule pervades our fair city. As soon as the last echoes of the noise had died away, the shrieks of the whistles and the clanging of the fire bell announced that there was a fire somewhere. The fire proved to be the Bushey barn, situated on the southwest corner of Kinney ville. Both hose companies responded at once to the call and in a very few minutes over population of Roseburg was assembled banks of Deer creek watching the blaze, building being dry as tinder and full the fire was beyond control. The cause of the fire is supposed to be of in cendiary oiigin. Several days previous a bunch of hoboes were driven out of the old bunk house adjoining the barn, and at various times hoboes have been driven out of the maiu barn. The owners of the barn know of no other possible cause than the above. But as to whether it was done as a matter of spite, or the hoboes who were seeking a place to sleep were smoking and the cobwebs and dry hay caught fire and set off" some percussion caps and then some dynamite which was stored there unknown to the owners of the barn over Sunday, they are unable to state. The owners of the barn had just put in new dressed lumber floors both up-stairs and down, prepara tory to establishing a wood-yard. The contents consisting of about 300 bushels of oats, 50 tons of hay, 4 horses, harness, saddles anda large quantity of tools which had been in use in the street grading were a total loss only three horses being saved. The building was the property of the Roseburg Lumber Company. Mr. Robertson, the local agent es timates the total loss at $3ooo, with but $12oo insur ance in the Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance Company, of which E. H. Lenox is local agent. The Company intends to re-build as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. Scores Government on serve. Forest Re- had so bungled things and that there is not now a man in tho Washington office who has ever been on a forest Gifford Pinchot, Chief of the Bureau j reserve. of Forestry of the Department of I Agriculture, addressed about 30 promi nent lumbermen and others interested in preservation of timber in the Pa cific Northwest at tho Tacoma Cham ber of Commerce rooms Saturday. United States Senator Foster pre sided at tho meeting and a general discussion was indulged in, during which the government was roundly roasted by the representatives of Skamania, Cowlitz, Jefferson, Skagit and Watcom counties, who were pres ent. A great deal of dissatification exists in the state over tho manage ment and restrictions of the forest reseives. Already one fifth of the timber of the state is included in tho forest reserves and a large section of land has been withdrawn from entry in order to allow the government to examine it with tho intention of creating another forest reserve, practically cover tho entire region of tho Cascade range. Tho addition pro posed is nearly equal to half the total of tho present reserves. Mr. Pinchot, who was graduated from Harvard, is a wealthy man, and a warm personal friend of President Roosevelt. Ho is known as tho father of the forest reserve movement and had his hands full answering the criticisms and objections hurled at him during tho meeting here. The sentiment of the meeting was not so much against tho principlo of forest reservation, out against tho alleged bad tactics of tho government as re gards sheep grazing on tho reserves, and tho restrictions imposed upon lumbermen in taking timber off re serve lands. Mr. Pinchot, in addressing tho meet ing, admitted that tho management of the reserves has been poor, that men in office in Washington who had no practicul knowledge of affairs in this state and tho northwest generally, Mr. Pinchot is making a tour of the forest reseives of the West: Ho asked for the support of the state in remedying the evils which exists in the system and met with a cordial response. He stated the two objects of the forest reserve policy to be the benefit of tho settler and tho permanent uso of all the resources of the forest reserve, timber, mineral, grass and water. One of the chief protests presented was from Eastern Washington sheep men who have repeatedly asked to be allowed to use the bald hills above the timber lino on the western side of the Cascade range within the forest reserve. No attention has been paid to their request by tho department and they are at present confined to small areas in Eastern Washington Mr. Pinchot was again compelled to admit that ho could see no reason for such a course and promised to use his influence to better the conditions. Discussing tho situation in the Balkans, Max Nordau said in Paris, recently: "There is no hope for Turkey. She is doomed. The Turks have degenerated to Buch extent that their recovery is impossible. The guilt of blood cruelly and most im morally shed lies upon the heads of them all. The better educated Turks know they are doomed. They know they will have to get out of Europe soonor or later. Thi3 very know ledge only serves to make the Turks all the more cynically cruel. Their actions aro influenced by the indes cribably cruel fatalism which lets the whole brute loose in them. They have lived bo long by plundering others that they have lost the tremendous virility which made them such awe-inspiring animals in the past The Turk has no intention of keeping any promise made in the treaty of Berlin, or since; he will keep his promise only when compelled to do so; he is cunning enough to know his safety depends upon the jealousies of the powers. If the powers wero once united it would mean the end of the Turk, at least in Europe. The Turk plays craftily upon the fears and jealousies of the nropean powers. He is afraid of the United States, because he knows the great republic has neither fear no jealousy. The nations of Europe have no conscience whatever. Their political creed is one of might and grab. They have lost the distinction between right and wrong. Never theless, come what may, no single European power dares take up the cause of Turkey to the extent of marching side and side with the Turk to the field of battle. Is it a wonder that the peaceful farmers of Macedonia are in revolt? t is better for them to die fighting than to be starved to death by the exactions of the middlemen or be butchered by the bashi-bicouka. The Turk can not rise higher than the cruel deity whom he imagines urges him on to deeds of bloodshed. If European diplomacy were not so rot ten the Turk would be compelled to quit the European continent tomorrow. Modern diplomacy cares more for land than for lives. War is not necessary to drive the Turks from Europe. An order from the powers would be sufficient. The United States, with her sense of justice, can do much to drive the Turk out of Eu rope. I believe if America, backed up by England, were to order the Turk out of Europe he would go with out a shot being fired. Suppose the United States found occasion to at track Turkey? Not a single European power would dare lift a hand to aid the dying butchers. Men of other nationalities occasionally maltreat women, but never upon a wholesale, cold-blooded scale as the Turk. Neighboring nations have been smirched morally by contact with Turkey. The Bulgarians, both in Bulgaria and Macedonia, must learn one essential tninc that is, tney must not persecute the Greeks nor members of other nationalities in Macedonia. They must make it clear that there is to be no discrimination The sympathies of tho people go out to them, not because they are Bulgarians, but because they are people struggling for freedom.

McArthur (colored), aged IS, and Jos. Pinckney (colored), aged 20, who were arrested here September 10 for holding up two other boys, were tried Monday and found guilty of robbery. On Wednesday after noon Judge Hanna sentenced them to five years each m the penitentiary, and they wero taken to Salem the same evening. The hold up was com mitted just as the south bound night passenger was pulling out of the sta tion, and the robbers escaped by riding tho trucks. Tho boys who wero robbed had been working in the hop yards and had their earnings in their pockets. Officer Lockhart heard an outcry and on learning of tho trouble, telegraphed to Medf ord where tho robbers wero captured. Several months ago tho train agents who wore appointed during C, P. Huntington's presidency of the Southern Pacific Company, to seiveas a check on the train conductors of tho system in tho collection and salo of tickets, wero required to devoto their time exclusively to faro collections. tho conductors boing relieved entire ly from that responsibility. This change was the direct result of the official investigations made into the causes of train wrecks occuring about a year ago with alarming frequency on the linos of tho company. It was LADIES!!

What will be the effect on the operation of the company's line3 remains to be seen. San Francisco Chronicle. Our farmers ought to co-operate with Mr. Boico and raise all tho flax he calls for. This applies to the farmers all over the central part of Willamette valley. If they will put out 8000 acres of flax, a linen mill will bo built in operation early in 1905. If the average of flax is less, tho construction of tho linen mill will have to bo deferred for a year. Our fanners could well afford to get tho linen mill going even though they received nothing for their work the first year. But they are not asked to do anything of the kind. Their pro duct will bo bought at good prices, and it will be a money making crop lor them. Salem Statesman.
