The wash water is removed each time the same as whey. "As soon as the curd seems to have drained dry add salt at the rate of 2 ounces for each 10 pounds of curd, and package. A little cream will make the cheese more palatable. Glass Jars or paraffined paper containers may be used to advantage for marketing the product. By converting It Into cottage cheese, farmers could get from 15 to 30 cents a gallon for the skim milk ordinarily fed to the hogs, according to P. H. Tracy of the dairy manufactures division, college of agriculture. University of Illinois. A gallon of skim milk will make from 14 to 1 pounds of cottage cheese, which usually sells for 12 to 20 cents a pound, he pointed out Cottage cheese Is easy to make on the farm and takes only a limited amount of equipment There are various methods of making cottage cheese. The following procedure probably would be most convenient for the farm. In one method. Junket a tablet containing rennet Is used, whereas in the other method the curd Is set through the natural process of souring. The rennet cheese Is a little more desirable. Must Be High Quality. The milk used must be of high quality. It should come from clean, healthy cows. Care should be taken to see that the milk utensils have been thoroughly washed and rinsed With scalding water. They should be rinsed again just before they are used. This applies to the separator as well as the palls, strainers and cans. Cool the separated milk to 75 degrees and place that to be made Into cheese In a vessel such as a large double boiler. If Junket is to be used, dissolve the tablet in a pint of cold water and then add to the milk, stirring well. One tablet contains enough rennet to set about 50 gallons of wink and the above solution should be used accordingly. The rest should be kept cold until used, as It deteriorates rapidly at room temperatures. Hold the milk at a temperature as near 75 degrees as possible for about IS to 20 hours. When It Is ready to cut there will be a slight amount of whey on top, the curd will be firm and will cut clean when a spoon Is passed through It. Heat Slowly. Gently break up the curd Into small cubes and heat slowly with very gentle agitation. If no Junket has been added heat to about 02 degrees In about 30 minutes and hold at that temperature until the curd Is firm enough to split open when squeezed. It should not be heated so long that It Is tough and rubbery. Usually from 5 to 15 minutes will be necessary to firm the curd. If Junket has been used, heat the curd slower but to a higher tempera, ture, going to about 110 degrees to 112 degrees In about 60 to 75 minutes' time. Hold the cheese at 110 degrees to 112 degrees until the cnrd Is firmed. Drain the whey through cheesecloth or strainer and wash cnrd twice wllhCPliLsaterln order to chill curd 1 The finished product should be In the form of large mellow flakes and should not be soft or pasty or tough. Neither should it have a high acid flavor." Ethics of Fertilizer Industry Are Improved The fertilizer Industry has become firmly established among legitimate business institutions, according to E. B. Wells, soil specialist of the Kansas State Agricultural college. When commercial fertilizers were first introduced into Kansas, he explained, little attention was paid either tp quality or grade. Flash titles, together with low price, largely determined the sale of the product Today manufacturers have found that if the business is to be legitimate it must be founded upon scientific reasoning and experimental evidence. The number of brands are being reduced dnd the quality of products are being improved. Few low grade mixtures are put upon th market today by reputable companies. All Vegetable Crops Hurt by Wireworms Clover Dipped in Paris Green Water Gets Them. The gardener who has to fight wire-wormay make use of various kinds of poisoned baits. The best time to fight them, further, Is before the garden Is planted, declares the New Jersey state agricultural college. Small bunches of clover or similar plants may be dipped into paris green water and scattered over the ground after it has been fitted, but before planting. It is well to cover these with pieces of board or earth. Sweetened corn-medough poisoned with arsenate of lead or paris green is almost always effective. It is unnecessary to add that all poisoned baits should be used most carefully to avoid danger to children, to chickens, and to animals. Practically all vegetable crops whih have fleshy roots such as com, wheat, cabbage and potatoes are attacked by wireworms. When plantings are made on lands previously in sod, they are likely to be especially troublesome. To fight the worms In eld crops, the practice of rotation will help. In this rotation, lands should not be left In grass more than two years, or at the most three years. It Is often desirable to plant peas, clover or buckwheat between sod and potatoes and other suscep'tible crops.

STANDARD. tf To Wage Poison War on Cabbage Maggots Sublimate Guns Useful for Purpose. Corrosive New tactics are to be used against cabbage maggots this year by Del-Ba- y Farms, of Bridgeton, N. J. Instead of using the customary method of hoeing around the young cabbage plants to remove maggot eggs, the company will poison the pest with corrosive sublimate. With the new method, the young cabbage plants are watched after they are set in the field. Wheneggs of the maggot fly are found, which under ordinary conditions will be within four or six days after the setting, the Del-Ba- y Farms workmen will go Into action with their corrosive sublimate guns. Instructions have been Issued to apply the solution on the plants for a space of about two inches above the ground so that It will run down to the roots. A second application will be made ten days later.
