Homc-Made Cheese.
This is the time of the year, or soon
will be, when butter-making becomes
tiresome and cheese-making comes
for a change or variety. Cheese is a
common article of diet and very
wholesome and nutritious. Every
farmers wife should know how to
make good cheese, and it is said to be
as easy to make cheese us to make
butter. What is needed is a boiler for
heating the milk, and a tub for setting
the curd; a press can be easily made
that will answer the purpose, and a
thermometer. Five quarts of milk
will usually make a pound of cheese,
Milk just from the cow has the right
temperature. If it don t work than
heat it to 90 degrees. Rennet, in li
quid form, cau be procured with full
directions for itaiwe. Mix thoroughly
as directed. Ihe curd should form in
half an hour. When hard enough,
cut with a knife into inch-square
nii'pflu tn lot thn uIiav 8f rin ra.t.A t hen
draw it Let the curd Btand on
one side for an hour to drain. It will
then be slightly acid ; break up with
the hands, adding an ounce of 8 .It to
three pounds of curd. A hoop made
of wood or sheet-iron, just the size for
the cheese say eight inches in diame
ter and ten inches deep can be used
and will make ten pounds of cheese,
Flace a cloth bandage in the hoop and
press the curd in with the hands
Press the curd family, then keep it in
the press twenty-four hours; after this
place it in the curing room, aad turn
it every day from two to four weeks.
In two months it will be ready for the
table. Factory made cheese is apt to
be hurried iu making, and is not as
good as a really grod home-made ar
ticle. Really, it is easier to make
cheese than butUr; it is as readily
sold, and brings more money, or fully
as much. So there is no reason why
farmers' wives should not make cheet-e
to sell and to eat at home, and of
the best.
Curing Balky Horse.
Many ways are recommended to
cure a horse from balking but a very
sensible plan is given by a correspond
ent of the Country Gentleman. H
idea is to make the horse forget tba'
he tried to balk. For this purpose be
tried him at the harrow if he balked
in the wagon. If there was some par
ticular place where he usually balked,
the owner would stop him there, get
out and give him something to eat
and he would forget that he wanted
to balk and go on all right. A horse
is susceptible to kindness, and cruel
nsage only liardens his nature and
makes him obdurate. Iet him get
the idea that you intend to be cruel to
him and he will be ugly to you. Treat
him with kindness when you get him
and he will forget unkind treatment
received previously, and become gentle
and trr.ctable. The famous borse-
breakets always conquer by kindness.
If a horse refuses to start, give him a
bite to eat and then after a moment,
lead him away a rod" or so, and the
chances are that he will go along and
forget about the balking. II you ' use
a horse in this way a few times, un
lei's he is incorrigible and extremely
ugly by nature, the chancea are that
he will learn to respect you and' for
get to balk. There are few horses that
are really ugly, but some animals are
of a hateful turn and are much harder
to work than others.
White clover is the best pastur
grass that can be grown for theep.
As white clover is a short gras it is
more desirable than red clover for
ruling, as sheep detest long grass.
preferring to crop close to the ground.
On a mixture of gnu-sea in a pasture
cattle and sheep may be grazed to-
eethr, as the gr.isses that may be ob
jectionable to the cattle will be ap
propriated by the sheep.
The farmers of the United States
planted last year 78,000,000 actvs of
corn, or an area as large as Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu
setts, Rhule Island, Connecticut, the
whole of New York and New Jersey
Ihe number or bushtls of corn
raised was 1,456,161,000 and the total
value of the product was $646,106,770
Iowa raised 183,000,000 busi.els; Illi
nois and Missouri each about 140 000,-
000 bushels; Nebraska 93,000000
Kansas and Texas each 76,000 100.
No grafting can be successfully and
certainly dune unless the wood fo
scions has been cut before the bud
have swelled and kept cool and moist
through the winter. To do this cut
the wnod in late fall and keep the
hcions all winter in moist but not wet
sand or soil. It is even advisable to
let them lose a little of their original
sap or moisture. An Oregon nuiery
man once threw away a lot of scions
as they were considerably shrunk. He
was surprised to find that the portion
he used took and grew better than any
of the rest. This was because there
was vitality left in the wood, and be
ing a little dry the sap from the juicy
stock quickly filled it. and set it to
growing thriftily. -
Ihe .Feerlees is no doubt a good po
tato, but it is not so good as the Bur-
bank. Set the two before a good ap
petite and the liurbank, that is so
clear, rcealy and white, with euch a
relish, too, is far ahead of the other,
It does not seem possible for any po
tato to eat better than the liurbank
does in April, and the natural advice
to give would be to plant the Burbank
unless something fully as good or bet
ter is to be bad. Something is due to
the sou on which the potato is grown
Whether the Burbank ia as good
grown in ordinary soil as on river
bottom and sandy loam is a question.
This spring the Burbank has sold
higher than most other kiuds.

FACTS ABOUT RAISINS.
How Crape Are Pried In Various Por
tions of the Globs.
Several varieties of crapes are used
in tnakinjr raisins, but the different
names of the varieties, of dried fruit
are usually given from the locality
whence they are imported. The com
mon mode of drying is to Bpread the
bunches on platforms or suspend them
on lines in heated rooms, where they are
allowoei to shrivel slightly. They arc
then dipped in a lye of wood ashes and
barilla, to each four gallons of which
pint of nil and a handful of salt Is
added. This causes the sugar to ex-
udff through the skin, and makes a
slight varnish on the ouUide of the
fruit. In this way the Valencia raisin,
the favorite cooking raisin. Is pre
pared. It is shipped principally from
Valencia, Spain. Malagas also take
their name from the Spanish port.
whence they are most lanrcly sent.
ineFe are made Iroui a richer grape
than the Valencia, and are dried on
the vino in the sun. The grapes do
not fall off when ripo. so the stem is
twisted and the grapes shrivel by the
evaporation of their own water.
In this way the fruit keeps
more freshness and bloom than
in any other. - and there . ia
very lilt'e exudation of sugar. These
rai-ins arc also called Muscatellcs, and
are the favorite table raisins. Spain
is still the greatest producer of raisins.
though large quantities are also raised
in j urkey, and California is becoming
afi important locality for the produc
tion of this favorite fruit. The Sul
tana or seedless raisins are produced
in Turkey. These are cured in the
sun, a light sprinkling of oil beiug em
ployed to prevent the too great evap
oration of the moisture, and also to as
sist ia the preservation of the fruit
when packed and shipped. TheEleme
raisins arc also produced in Turkey,
and are used chiefly for export to dis
tant colonies and for ships' stores. As
their name implies, they are picked
ra:s:ns, and are packed specially for
ship use from the vines of tbe Car-
bourna and Vouria districts in Asia
Minor. The gTvat proportion of the
raisins irom amvrna are known as
Chemse," the name of an Island near
the mainland. These are the Turkey
grapes, rure and simple, without a-
lection, pii-K.ing of staiks, or any
manipulation whatever. They find
ready market in Eastern countries.
but ars the special feature of
fruit trading between Turkey and Ger
man porta. Taere are vast districts
n Persia where raisins are cultivated.
but the d.Uiculty of getting them to
market is so great that it does not pay
to export, consequently they are used
or distilling and local purposes. At
the Cape of Good Hope raisins are
produced which find a market chiefly
n Australia. Distillation of raisins
nto wine is becoming quite an im
portant business, the flavor of the dry
fruit giving a very pleasant taste to
the beverage. The raisins nsed for
this are the small black Smyrna raisins.
The dried fruit known to commerce as
the Zante currant is a variety of raisin.
It is not made from a currant, but
from a very small grape dried in the
sun. These small raisins were at first
called Corinths, because they were im
ported from the port of Corinth. Their
similarity to currants caused the name
to be corrupted later, as many sup
posed them to be a kind of dried cur-
rent. Toledo Blade.

GOOD POULTRY HOUSE.
Bow to Keep Fowls In s Healthy and
Thriving- Condition.
The getting of plenty of eggs in win
ter by the intelligent poultry-keepef
stimulates the less thoughtful to the
good resolve of having a poultry house.
In choosing the site, select, if possible.
i sidehill that slopes gently to the
south. This secures natural drainage.
provided you throw up the earth
against the north wall to form a sur
face drain. Solar influence will be of
great advantage iu this location, in
melting away the snow several weeks
in tvdvauce of adjacent fields and ex
posing a previously sown forage crop
for the early use of the fowls. As soon
as a fowl can secure a part of her own
living the profit will increase ia the
same ratio. If a sidehill is not avail
able, select, as next best, a ridge run
ning east and west, and build on the
southern si one. On end of thn nnnltt-v !
house should come to the lane that is
traversed in going from house to barn;
this will save labor. In a level coun
try do not commit the common error
by building first and grading after
ward, bnt grade first Plow a back
furrow good and deep, going east and
west, at least three times as wide as
the width of your building; now use
the 6craper, and raise the ground at
least a foot high, but be careful to
open up a surface drain that no water
will stand or settlu about the building.
It is lmpoible to keep fowls in a
healthy thriving condition ia wet oi
damp quarters. For the foundation
dig a trench below the action of frost,
and fill it with small stones; size ut
the wall to face on the inside of thi
sill; allow the wall to project on tin
outside of sill to make a good strong
wall as far as the surface of the ground.
Then make a set-off to the size of yoni
building outside, for the double pur
pose of preventing rats digging down
side of the wall and gaining an en
trance, and for the room gained on the
inside; "ground-room is what tells in
the poultry business." If a side-hill
can be found for a site, it has one im
portant advantage over all others; by
excavating to a depth of two feet, and
throwing the earth out on the north
aide, an embankment can be had at a
mall expense, thus subterranean heat
is provided for, which aids greatly ii
keeping up a uniform temperature
and obviates the expensive use of arti
ficial heat. The foundation wall on
the north side. In this case, should be.
when completed, three feet higher thai
the south walk The wall all round
should be tea or twelve inches above
the grade, to preserve the frame work,
and for tho purpose ef banking up with
coarse gravcL for the use of the fowls
at all times in the year. John Q. Bern
diet, in N. T. Tribune.
