If one doea not have\nenough milk, it is a good plan to elub together with a neighbor and divide the\ncheese or tho profits therefrom after mak*\ning. A thermometer is needed for cheese\nmaking, Ono of the commonest causes of\ntough cheeso is having the milk at a wrong\ntemporuture, eighty degrees being right,\nUne cannot toll how warm the milk is by\ntrying it with tho hand, a temperature of\neighty degrees will often seem cold. The\nfirst thi t'He I assisted in making, I had the\nniilk too warm, and although the curd\nformed speedily, the choose was very tough\nand poor. Having tho temperature right,\ndissolve and add oue small rennet tablet for\nthe milk from six cows.atir up and let stand\ntill it thickens; the time required will be\nfrom forty minutes upward. I have an\nidea that tlio longer it takes to thicken,the\nbetter the cheese, but thiB may be a notion.\nWhen well thickened, take a knife and :ut\ndown throng)) it in squares, then wait for\ntho whey to 1-egin to come up on top. When\nit scparates,lay a checBO cloth over the top\nof tin: curd and dip the whey off. A boiler\nwill do to have the milk in and a cheesecloth\na yard aud a half or two yards in length will\ndo to put ovor it to extract the whey. All\nhandling must bo dono gently, as tho rougher tho handling the more cream is loat in\nthe whuy. Save a little whey for aftor use,\nAfter dipping off part of tho whey, stir the\ncurd very gently with tho hands, break it\nup, and this will eliminate more whey; this\nshould be repeated until the whey is all\nseparated from the curd. Next take a\nolothes basket, Hprcad tlio cheeso cloth in it,\nand place tho basket over a tub. Carefully\nput tlie curd into the cloth and work a\nlittle with tho handa till it begins to seem\nfine and the whey is woll drained out. If\ntho whey does not separate easily, the milk\nshould havo stood a little longer to thicken,\nMuch will be learned iu making one cheese.\nAfter tho curd ia worked aa abovo, heat\nubout a quart of whey ao that it will foel\nwarm to tlio hand, and poi.r over the curd,\nwork a little, and if tho curd squeaks while\nhandling it is ready to salt, but if there is\nno squeaky sound, heat a little more whey\nand pour over ; it taken vory little heat to\nharden tlio curd so that it will squeak;\nif it becomes too \"squeaky,\" the cheeae\nwill be hard and tough. II the milk was\ntoo warm to begin with, tho curd will\n\"squeak\" beforo tho warm whey ia poured\nover it, and it should be omitted. Allow\nfour or fivo good tablospoonfula of salt for\nthe milk from six cows, and work in lightly,\ntaste,and if not sallcnoughadd attttlemore,\nwork the curd up, aud havo lho press ready.\nThis may bo improvised. A round hoop\nfrom a peck measure will do, that is, a\ncook measure with no bottom in. Lay a\ncloth in this, sot it up with a clean board\nunder 11, put a cloth over tho top of the measure,put thoctird on the oloth and let It press\ntho cloth down into llu* measure. Have a\ncover that will fit insidu the measure,\nbring tho cloth ovor tho top of the curd aa\nsmoothly as possible, put tlio oover down\nand press by means of a lever or with\nweigluH, Tbe weight needed in not ex*\nIreu.e, bccauio if pressed too hard the\ncheese will nut be aa good. To makea\ngood cheese tlio following points must be\nremembered : First, do not have tho milk\ntun warm, eighty degrees being right;\nsecond, let it stand till tho milk ia woll\nthickened after adding lho rennet-third\nhandle gently in overy prnccsa; fourth, do\nnot ubc too muoh salt; fifth, have tho press\nstand level nr tho clieeao will be one-sided ;\nsixth, turn the cheese over at night, using\na clean wet cloth when this change ia made.\nTho cloth should always bo wet when put\nin the press. Take the cheese out in the\nmorning, rub well with sweet butter, and\nmake a bandage for tie outside. A cheese\nis lest apt to mold if simply wrapped loosely in a cheese cloth than if covered all over\nwith oloth. If tho cheese begins to mold,\ntake tho cloths off. Hub tho cheese with\nbuttor daily for a week, and turn over daily.\nIt will need an airy placo and a dry one ;\na cellar wiil aoon ruin it by molding. Keep\ncovered always to protect from the little\ncheese fly that Homctimus nu,.-.-.) trouble,\nA good full cream cheeso will he fit to out\nin live weeks, aud ought to bo rich and\ncromny to the taste, and it will be if theae\ndirections are followed implicitly.\nPOULTRY NOTES.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDSell off all surplus oockerols,\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDWyandotte fowls have legs free from\nfeathers.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDKens tint ere too fat humetiines lay\nsmall ci/gs without yolks.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-(\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDivn the fowls plenty of water ovon\nthough they have milk to drink.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe average cost of feed for rearing\nchicka to three months of ago is fifteen I\ncents.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDItianot onlya waste of grain to teed fowls J\ndesigned for layers too heavily, but it ofteu\nproducea leg weakness.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDFor broilers Indian Game and Brahma\nmake a good cross.

A few\nyears ago it was only iu certain sections,\nespecially adapted to potato-growing, that\nfarmers spared the land to raise any considerable surplus upon. On the ordinary\nfarm five acres waa doemed an unduly large\nplantation. In the interior the greater part\nof the excess over producers' wants wa3\ndistributed at home, in our towns and\ncities. The exports were maintained by\nthe Maritime Provinces, the vastly groater\nportion of them by Princo Edward Island,\nThis has been pretty much tho cose up to tho\npreaent, but that is owing to restrictions iu\nthe way of trade rather thau to the relative\nvalue of potatoes, which has been going up\nin recent years. If Ontario farmers during\ntho last three years havo not grown more\nfor export than thoy used to raise, it is\nbecauso tho duty shut thom out troin the\nmost convenient market. If admission to\nthe United States had beon easy, moro\nwould have been grown to send thore.\nFormerly potato-patches ou tho average\nOntario tarin were small for tlio reason\nthat lho land could be moro profitably employed raising\nWIIKAT AND liAlU.KY,\nBut since wheat has suffered such a\ndumbfounding decline, and while barley has\nbeen without a market, the return from\nthose two grains does not put to shame the\nreturn from potatoes. If tho United States\ntariff had not onoped up tho supply in this\nprovince the crop here would undoubtedly\nnave expanded in correspondence with tho\nincrease in its comparative market value.\nThe ohange in duty now makes it possible\nto export potatoes to tho States, tlie rate\nbeing reduced from 2.'.;, to 15c. per bushel\nof 01) lbs. A shortage in the crop produced\nthi* year on tho other sido of the border\ntends to create a vacuum and a rise in price\nthere. ThiB Ib a aecond condition that\nshould turn spare potatoes from thia country to the United StatcB. But hero we are\nto have a smaller crop than last yoar, if the\nestimates of our agricultural contemporary,\nFarm, Ranch, at 'l Orchard, arc near thc\nmark, That paper places the aggregate\ncrop of Canada this year at 4 i,S,\"i4,01)0 bushels, as against a yield last year of 02,407,000\nbushels. Our average yield per acre is estimated at 94 bushels, as against 112 bushels\nlast year. According to the aamo authority\ncropa all over Kuropo are to be\nS1IOHTKK THIS YEAR\nthan they wero last. This would aeem to\npoint to higher prices all around. Just\nnow car loads command about ii0 c. a bag\nhere, but if production has fallen off ao\nmuch aa it is supposed to havo done, that\nprice must bo materially improved on before shipping weather ia past. When potatoes are high on this side of the ocean,\nthero is usually a rush of supplies from\nScotland, Ireland or Continental countries*,\nbut shortage there must koep such shipments within limits. Howovor, ocoan\nIreightB are now very low. It looks, at\nall eventa, as if all tho potatoes raised in\nCanada this year would bo saleable at\npricea remunerative lo tlio growers. Ontario growers will not find themselves\ncramped for a market as in past yoars.\nThen they had to soil at home nearly all\nthey raised, and their home markets was\nmade amullor by tho fact that nearly every\nnon-agricultural householders outside of\ntho citiea had his own littio plot under\npotatoes. Now the price is likely io be a\nfairly good one, until navigation closes\nwater-freights will be low, and the duty at\nthe United States frontier Is 10 o. a bushel\nless than it was last year. Unless tho out-\nlook ia deceptive, potatoes should mako bo\ngood a roturn this year as to induce our\nfarmers to plant a larger acreage next\nyear.\t\nBullet-Proof Shields.\nlhe London newapapcrH contain fuller\naccounts of the new bullet-proof shield invented by a British officer and thoro seems\nto be no doubt that the contrivance accom\nplishes all that it professo.-) to do.

It ia shown\nthat auch a result Is not impossible, on\naccount of the iuiu.-ior line possessed by\nFrance, which might allow her Toulon and\nBrest fleets to conccntratn against the\nEnglish vessels on the Mediterranean\nstation before they could be reinforced by\nthe home fleet trom Portamouth. In oase\n0f suoh a def'Mit, the British squadron\nwould, it is aai lie in a bad position, since\nat Gibraltar would not have adequate\nresources for fitting.\nThere haB boon two views aa to England's\npolicy in the Mediterranean, in view of tho\nrequirement a for maintaining Englioh\npower thero, under tho possible attack of\nFranco\nHUITORTKD IIY Kl'HSIA\nand threatening tha English coast as well\nas the British lleot In tho Mediterranean.\nSome have argued that the wisest plan for\nEngland iu mch a caae would be to leave\nEgypt to take care of herself. W, Laird\nClowes, a well-known writer on naval\ntoplos, has even advised not waiting for tho\ncontingency of war, but of exchanging\nGibraltar in advance for a new and better\nnaval atation in Morooco on the other side\nof the straits. Spain, of oourse, would be\nonly too glad to effect auoh a change, and\nthe ground on which it Is supported by Mr.\nClowes is that a fleet taking refuge at\nGibraltar would be under Are from land\nbatteries on Spanish territory, and hence\nwould be imperilled either by tho alliance\nof Spain with England's enemies or by the\nforcible seizure of Spanish territory around\nGibraltar by the latter. Mr. Clowea has\nalso quite recently dwelt upon the advantages possessed by Toulon over Malta and\nGibraltar. He declares it to be the finest\nnaval and military base on the Mediterranean. He says that Toulon \"can exist\nindefinitely in its full power, even if all the\nfleas around France be strongly held by thi\nmost comprehensive combination of enemies.\" One great advantage whioh It has\novor Malta and Gibraltar is that it draws\nita supplies from a great country at Ub\nback, whereas the English ports depend\nupon what is brought by sea. Again,in its\nsplendid shipbuilding plants it is superior\nto thorn, and oan thus turn out floating\ndefences for its own purposes,\nAdmiral Colomb, in this year's number\nuf Lord Brassey's \" Naval Annual,\" has\ndiscussed at much length tho question of\nEngland's supremacy io the Mediterranean.\nHia conclusion ia that she must maintain it\nthere, if alio wished to rule the waves beyond. It has sometimes been pointed out\nthat it is very expensive to keep in that sea\na British naval force\nKqUAI. TO THAT OK FRANCE\ncombined with tho possibilities of Russia,\nBut Admiral Colomb does not consider such\na force in time of peace a matter of prime\nimportance, provided the entire available\nforce u* Great Britain is equal to that of\nthose two countries combined. In tact, if\nEngland should keop a very large fleet iu\nthe Mediterranean, an enemy might ba\ntempted to m&ka a mere feint there and\nchange its real attack to tho Channel. The\nadvantage of keeping tho main British\nfleet in Koine waters is a double ono, because\nit not only makes a very largo number of\nvessels available for service anywhere\nwhere it is scon that they aro needed, but\nsaves also tho great expense of keeping an\nenormous fleet in tho Mediterranean.

Some few weeks ago the\nexperiment was tried at a factory in the\nThames valley, firat with hammer and an\nanvil, and afterwards with regular paper\nmaking machinery. In tho latter instance\nsomo 500 pounds of pulp were tested, and\nthey produced about 1120 pounda of paper.\nThe substance, howovor, was of a coarse\ntexture, and far hotter suited for wrapping\nup parcels than for taking printers' ink.\nin fact, lho conclusion was that sunflower\nstalks aro too short in fibre to make a good\npapor without the addition of some foreign\nmaterial like rags. What is mora, the in*\ngrcdlent would havo to bo nearly fifty per\ncent, ot tho wholo pulp. Accordingly,\nsunflower piper hardly aeema practicable,\nunless, indeed, its title gavo it a fancy\nvalue to tho survivors of tho aesthetic\nschool.

The\nhusband knowing they wore not true, but\nthinking that to humor his wifo would cure\nhor malady, presented tho papers to tho\nlegul authorities, and a divorce was granted. Tho ex-husband immediately began to\nmake lovo to his former wife again, and\nproposed marriage iu duo form, but, although sho appeared happy in his company\nand would go with him to the theatre and\nliko places, she absolutely ref used Ins proffer\nof marriage, and expressed a wish that he\nwould wed a girl whom sho named.

The difficult point in the\ntreatment of all eases of this sort is to freo\nthe nose completly by means of nasal irrigation nf the matter covering the damaged\nmucoua membrane, and thia the patient ia\nusually unable to do; for this reason thiB\noondition often requires treatment for\nwhich the patient ia obliged to have recourse\nto specialists. But according tu M. Muse*\nhold, of Berlin, this complex treatment\nmay be noticeably simplified by means of\napplications of glycerine, which on account\nof the hygroscopic propertiea of Una substance, rapidly softens the cruita in the\nnoao and render their removal vary eaay,\nIn order that the patient may be in a\nposition to make those applications personally, M. Musehold proscribes glycerine and\nborax diluted with water until it oan be\nused in a small Bpray. Tho sprays should\nbo dire-ind into eaoh of the nasal cavities\ntwo or ihreo times a day. A fow minutes\naftor thia Ilttlo operation lho crusts are\naullicioiitly softened to be easily removed\nby moans of u nasal irrigation.

Conversation should\nbe sparingly indulged in at every stage\nof lho bath, oven in the final one ; but it Ib\nespecially to bo deprecated in the hot\nchambers, where, it carried on at all, it\nshould be in an undertone and quite desultorily. Physical exercise of any kind ia\nobj.-ol humble, and no disturbing influence\nwhatever should ba permitted to interrupt\nthe calm and ovon tenour of tho bathing\nprocess.\nAbout the Baby.\nNover pat it hard.

Tho most prominent features in our\nfaoe does not avail to remind us sufficiently\nof tbe \" neglected sense\" whioh appears to\nbe steadily retiriug into nullity. In the\nNineteenth Century Mr. Edward Dilliou\ncalls attention to thia singular fact, \" In\nman,\" ho says, \" the nerves and brain\ncentrea that subserve the sense of smell are\npoorly developed, in some degree vestigial\nstructures.

He evidently\nthinks wo don't get half the good we might\nout of our noses.

A short time ago the\nreported poisoning of a family at Montreal\nfrom eating canned tomales, was trac.nl to\na brass spoon which had been left standing\nin the tomatoes over night. Tho tomatoes\nwere eaten tho first day without injury,\nbut thoso who partook of the aamo food the\nfollowing day were poisoned, thua showing\nthat the contents of the can wore wholesome when first opened. Investigation\nshowed that a brass spoon had beon left\nstanding in the tomatoes ovor night, and\nthe chemical action of the acid upon tho\nspoon waa undoubtedly tho cause of tho\npoisoning. It is surprising, after all tbat\nhas been written about lho uao of canned\ngoods, how many peoplo are ignorant of\nthe proper precautions to bo taken in tin*\nuso of such commodities. Tho public arc\ncontinually being warned against allowing\ntho contents to remain in the cans after\nopening, but a great many peoplo will stilt\nuso part of tho contents of a can, and set\nthe oan away for future uao. Canned goods\nshould bo emptied as soon as opened into a\nglass or poroelain vesael. Canned goods\nare kept fresh by being perfectly air tight.\nAs soon as the can is opened and tho contents aro exposed to the air, fermentation\nbegins, and this acta upou the tin of tho\ncans, after which the contents aro not safe\nfor food. If the cans wore emptied at once\ninto a glass or porcelain vessel, this danger\nwould be avoided, and muoh less would be\nheard about poisoning from canned goods.\nPackers ahould print theso precautions up.\non every can, so that persons who usa tho\ngooda would bave the directiona constantly\nbefore them.\nIT WAS A BLOOMING GIRL\nAnd He Weill Xeur Itreshlng off Willi Ills\n-Ulrl ua Her Aertmul.\n\" I havo just called, Miss Simpson,\"said\nthe angry lover, \" to say farewell j but be*\nfore I say it I want you lo kuow that I\nhavo discovered your falseness and I despise\nyou for It I\"\n\" Why, Billy, what ia tho matter T\"\n\" Oh, you know well enough.

The\nmembers from Victoria should have insisted on fair treatment ofthe post office\nemployees in the first instance. If tliey\nhad demanded justice as the price of\ntheir fealty to partv lhey would have obtained it long since. Blind partisan support is what is injuring British Columbia,\nLet the Ottawa authorities understand\nthat this 1-iovincc will cease to he conservative unless attention is paid to its\njusl demands ami their appeals will have\nsome potency The picture ofthe Gov.\neminent erecting a magnificent public\nbuilding in Victoria to satisfy its pride or\nvanity, or if you will, to reflect the solidity and glorv ofthe Dominion, and then\nright beside it that of the ill-paid, half\nstarved clerks and letter carriers, brutally suppended for a mistake, quickly rectified, is not calculated to enhance that\nrespect which should always be given,\nwhere it can be, to the Government. It\nis pertinent to enquire also why if money\ncan be found for the erection of costly\nbuildings, it is necessary to under-pay\nIhe men.\nTHE DEMOCRATIC ROUT.\nThe disaster which has met the Democratic party in last Tuesday's elections\nwas not unexpected. The hard times\ntold fearfully against the paity in power\nas it always does, and the action of the\nDemocratic Congress was satisfactory to\nnobody. The tariff bill passed was a repudiation of the pledges of the party\nand was a protection measure in principle, although not in degree. Cleveland\nand his followers stood manfully by the\nnational platform. The people returned\nthc party to power on the pledge of a\ntariff for revenue only, and free raw material. The Democratic Senate fought\nthe Wilson bill, kept the country for a\nlong period in a state of suspense, des^\ntroying thc manufacturing industry and\nparalysing commence. On Tuesday lhe\npeople revenged themselves, nnd Democracy lies wallowing in thc mire of a\nwell deserved defeat, and the doom of\nTammany as ;t national factor has been\nsealed. \t\nCOURTENAY ITEMS.\nKditor News; The weather continues\nmild and the fanner has Abundant opportunity for fall plowing and tree planting\nwhich however is nut largely taken .ul-\nv.miage uf.\nA snd accident occurred last week\nTuesday up the Settlement, The linlc\ndaughter ol .Mr. and Mrs. Harry Piercy\nabout 15 months of age, fell into a small\ntub or In kin which contained about half\na foot of water, and was drowned before\ndiscovered.
