MAKING CHEESE ON THE FARM Cheese Contains the Proper Nutriment for a Laboilng Man Muscle and Bjne Former. We do not intend to speak of ca, where the environments of one'i In!? where a farmer has a numirof en!J customers providing a steady ma,S the year around for his butter, or wb the section of country lies adjacent tn tome large city, making the eaie of mi much more profitable. We have olt found farmers toiling to make bntu.B when by putting their milk on the trii ' and sending it to the city would net thlm the year around 10 to 15 cents a gallon We know a neighborhood where the farm! era are gathering their cream and sellin, it for 9 cents per inch, aaya a writer j! tnrm and Home, when the same qnan. tity of milk required to produce 1 thii amount of cream w 11 make two ponndi of tine cheeae, worth on the market to! day 10 centa per pound. Now thia seenji to settle the question from a financial staudpoint. A small band-made preti with some extra-fine cheese with mm-h less labor than it would have coat to hive made butter. Besides having all could nee for the several families con nected with the farm, we sold leveril hundred pounds of our " Young Amer ica" at 16 cents a pound, and, aa butter only brought the same, we received more than double value for our product. Again, cheese will not only keep, prop, erly turned, all through the long earn, mer days, but will continually get better while the reverse is true of butter. An other very great factor not usually taken into consideration is that the public's tas e is changing. Fresh butter is de manded; the days of Jnne bntter, kept for six months, are past. Cheese con tains the proper nutriment for a labor ing man ; it is a muscle and bone former while butter is a luxury. ' Onions fur Lice on Cattle. A correspondent of the Country Gen tlemen, Jacob Engle of Schoharie county N. Y., relates his experience with lies' on stock in a recent issue. Readers who have lousy stock are requested to try this and report results. He says: "I ueid kerosene and lard mixed, curried and brushed over them ; also camphor dissolved in alcohol and carbolic acid in lard, but without satisfaction ; and, be ing determined that the lice ehould go, I tried onions after waiting about a week. One particular animal, a yearling bull, was very full even after oeing treated with the other remedies. I took a large onion, cut it in two and rubbed him hard all over until I had used three or mors onions and my eyes smarted. Then I gave him some of the pieces that were left and a few other small scullions, which he ate with relish, as did all the others, and then I waited results. The second day I examined him, and to my astonishment and joy the hair waa (nil of carcasses, but not a live one could I find. Since then I have fed none to the cows giving milk for fear of spoiling the butter. I am going to treat the poultry also by rubbing their roost well. 1 should be pleased to learn the results with others who may try the remedy. It will save many an animal an uneasy night," Good Dairy Con Food. In a dairy section of New York cotton seed meal is fed to the cows to the exclu sion of ail other grain food. When th animals are in milk and hay feed, the rule is to give two quarts at a mess. The meal is usually given dry ; but occasion ally it is stirred into sweet skim milk when that is available, according to the Ntbratka Stockman. When asked if dry hay and cotton-seed regimen did not constipate the animals, a prominent dai ryman replied : "I have not seen any such result." Cotton seed and ensilage with some hay would make the moat complete ration for milking cows in win ter ; but in the section alluded to they have no ensilage, because it is a mount ainous region and corn will rarely ma ture. The best dairymen feed cotton seed when the cows are at grass, a quart morning and evening. The result pay ' twice over " in added milk and butter, and nearly the cost of it is added to the value of the manure. The testimony i that cotton seed increases the quantity and quality of milk 25 per cent, over that of cornmeal and the manure valns 50 per cent. As to the result of feeding cotton seed to other animals reliable data for judging have not yet been mads public. Wheat-Sowing-. From experiments in wheat-sowing-that have been carried on for several yeara at t heOhio agricultural experiment station we learn that average results fa vor sowing at the rate of five to sewn pecks per acre of thoroughly cleans seed and Bowing this not to exceed two inches deep. In favorable seasons broadcast seeding has produced about aa large a crop at drilling; but, If the seeding season be hot and dry, drilling is likely to give the best results. No advantage has yet been discovered in the mixing of different varieties. There haa been a slight increase of crop where the wheat was cross-drilled, the same quantity of seed being used in each case. This increase may oe partly due to the more thorough pulverisation of the soil accomplished by double drill ing. The roller press a wheel followinj each hoe of the drill has not increased the yield sufficiently to warrant ita us.
