CHEESE-LOX MAKLNG.
Vast Numbora Turoed Out Yearly
by Expansive Maohlnery.
Competition Amons; Manofaetarers
Created a Great IndustryHow
the Boxes Are Pnt
Together.
Baa
An idea of the raacrnituJe of the
cheese industry in his country is given
by the fact that the boxes in which the
cheese is shipped represent a cost of
nearly half a million dollars annually.
It is not many years, says the New
York Sun, since cheese was shipped in
any kind of barrel or box which would
hold from one to half a dozen good
steed forms, packed in straw to keep
them from being; bruised or broken in
the handling. It was only factory
made cheese that received such protec
tion, while dairy cheese was sent to
market destitute of any covering other
than its own roughly bandaged rind,
which in most cases proved invulner
able. Competition among manufactur
ers has changed all this, and at present
the manufacture of boxes gives employ
ment to a large number of hands and
necessitates the use of powerful and
expensive machinery.
It was customary in the early days of
the business to saw the hoops, as the
large body of the box is called, out of
the log in planks about one-fifth of an
inch in thickness. The waste of mate
rial was a most serious objection to this
plan, fully fifty per cent, of the timber
going in sawdust. The invention of
the rotary cutting machine has pre
vented this waste and at the same time
produced a better hoop than the sawed
article. The chief timber used in mak
ing cheese-box hoops is the common
swamp elm. No other timber seems
to possess the same qualities of light
ness, toughness and elasticity, so re
quisite for cheese boxes, as this once
despised product of American forests.
The logs, after being cut in the proper
lengths, generally five feet for an ordi
nary cheese box of fifteen and a half
or sixteen inches diameter, are thrown
into long vats filled with water, where
they are boiled from fifteen to twenty
hours. The time required to soften the
timber, or cook it, as the operation is
called, varies according to the size of
the timber and the season. Large logs
require to be cooked longer than small
ones, particularly when the logs are
frozen. It is not uncommon to find the
center of a log still frozen after fifteen
hours of boiling. Experiences is the
best guide in this part of the business,
and to know when the timber is thor
oughly cooked and not overdone is one
of the things acquired only by con
stant observation. When sufficiently
boiled the logs are lifted in iron grap
ples from the vats and laid on skids,
where the bark is removed. Then a
log is lifted by a crane and swung into
place in the machine, where it is held
in a horizontal position by chucks or
dogs that center it at each end.
. In this position the log revolves like
a roll of paper in a printing press. The
knife which does the cutting is very
heavy and is bolted to a heavv head
called a carriage, which is fed for
ward by screws toward the revolving
log. In the most approved machines
the knife has an end or oscillating as
well as a forward motion. This reduces
the strain on the machine and permits
the cutting of soft, unsound and shaky
hearted logs. As the knife comes in
contact with the timber the inequali
ties of the log are first shorn off. nnd
gradually the lug becomes ix.rfectlv
round and yields an unbroken sheet of
lumber, like the unwinding of a roll of
flntli. 1 li ih slicet of wood is broken
. . f : .. , . . ...
mi hi i-iiiirriiu'iiL ii'iiguis, which are
passed under dividing knives thnt cut
them into uniform widths, correspond
ing with the required depth of the box.
If the boxes are to be made up at
unci win lump ure lient uround iron
cylinders to give thei.i the form of the
box, after which the bottom is pressed
in ami nailed in pinee. Comparatively
few boxes are put together In the
larger mills. In inot eases Ihe product
is iirion ami shipped to the cheese man
iifaeturing centers, where the boxes
are completed. The boxes in the
finished slate are too bulky for econom
ical handling.
The remnants which are not wide
enough for hoops are uaed for the cover
iatnl siul for the narrow hand that
goes around the bottom of the box.
The 1mxch vsry in alze both as regards
depth and diameter. The most com
mon site will hold a cheese of from
sixty to sixty-tWo pounds. Such box
Is ten Inches deen and fifteen and one
half Inches in diameter. This Is the
size of cheese most In drum ml for cx
rt. The !.e for home consumption
Is as a rule much smaller and requires
box from five to six inches deep, but
of the snnte diameter as the? other.
Various kimla of timber are used to
form the heads of the (mix, but rim Is
the accepted material for the hiaips.
Owing to peculiarities of the soil, the
tiinU-r In aoiiie liH-alltira Is Inclined to
f shuUy. the rhreks or shake running
nrotuiil the log and following the grain
of Ihe timla-r. Such timber viae war

in tlin rotary prta-eaa much of it can tie

CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
Much of It Is Taateloes When It
Reaches the Bast
Peaches from the Pacific Do Mot Com
pare with Those of the States
Plenty of Good Prunes and
Grapes, However.
"'Dead sea fruit!' That's what I
call it!" exclaimed a gentleman, who,
after attempting to eat one of the
largest and most beautiful specimens I
oi California peaches ever seen in Ful
ton market, threw it away in disgust
And he was right; for, while it was an
obiect to delight the eye, with its great
size, perfect slinpe, delicate bloom and
superb coloring, its flavor was decid
edly vegetable. So New Yorkers of
experience in such things buy Cali
fornia poaches to look at, and to serve
with the dessert as the crowning orna
ments of a perfect dinner, but lay in a
supply of llcluwiires to eat, while in
Chicago they say: "Oh, yes, California
peaches are pretty, but the St Joe
product is good enough for us."
The largest pruno orchard in this
country, If not in the world, is located
at Los (iuto.s (the cats), on the western
edge of the Santa Clara valley. It
contains three hundred and eighty
acre of trees, two hundred of which
are planted to the acre. Over one hun
dred men and a score of teams are con
stantly employed in this great orchard,
which hat it own waterworks and
electric light plant. Its drying ground
Is twenty ncrs in extent, and it yields
a net income if bomething like fifty
thousand ill Hart a year.
Near this Us iatos orchard is a
curious factory, said to be the only one
of its kind in the world. It Is a fac
tory for the making of grat. food, and
It is devoted tu the extracting and
concentrating, but not fermenting, of
grape juice. During the season it con-
sumi-s u;ty tons of grapes every day.
and produres ono hundred thousand
gallons of Juice, concentrated to one-
fourth of its original hulk.
TU ....
iiiBjrrapca ii mm io aucu enormous
quantities iii this Interesting factory,
both red and white., are wine grapes,
which, as the tourist observer soon
discovers, are very different from
raiain grapes, the former containing
sue more juice, and the latter the more
saccharine matter. One of the sur
prising things about raisin vineyard
is the small site of its vines, which, be
ing cut every year, are rarely more
than two or three feet high, and the
great sIm of the bunches. These,
when fully ripe, are eutand laid in shal
low trays between the rows of vines,
where, without the addition of any
sugar, they are allowed to dry in the
sun until they become rstaina, which
Is all there la M the process,
The m.ial surprising thing- of all is
the discovery that all ralita grapes are
while grains, until they are turned
purple In drying, which Is hard to re
alise, but la nevertheless a fact Har
per's Weakly.
