THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Fifteenth Year. No.29. The Present Hot COLORADO MINING SCHEME! Mollie Groves Co., Looks Like Skin Game. For sometime we have been investigating the condition of the Mollie Grove Mining Co., located in Colorado, and fostered by a white man, Mr. Groves of Kansas City, Mo. We understand that there are several people interested in this concern, brought into it by this white man and from what we can glean from a letter from Governor Ammons of Colorado, which speaks for itself, we advise all colored people will stay clear of it, if what it stated is true and which must be, as the letter is from the Executive Department of Colorado and has information concerning all particulars pertaining to any corporation in the state. There has been several thousand dollars taken from the pockets of poor colored people to foster this concern and we would like for Mr. Groves to explain what has been done with it. From the contents of the letter they have only spent the amount of money each year that is required by the state to hold such pieces of land and we have been told that there was a vast amount of valuable ore on the ground ready to be amelted, but this letter contradicts this and says that there is nothing on the ground and nothing being done and if this is true, Mr. Groves should be prosecuted and the government should take hold of the matter at once. We want all the colored people, who have been toying with this concern to cease such until this The Wilsons Thei Rev.

Arlington Wilson and wife have moved to their new home in Muskoree, Okla., where Rev.

He is one of the best pulpit orators in the West, a polished educated gentleman of high standing, and Oklahoma certainly has a man to be proud of. His devoted wife, Mrs. Wilson, is a church worker and has been a great leader in this organization.

ARLINGTON WILSON matter has been fully investigated, and they can see what is becoming of their money. Following is our letter to the Governor of Colorado and below is his reply: Governor of Colorado, Denver, Colorado, My dear Governor: We will be under many obligations to you if you will use your good offices in investigating a little matter for us which will be of great importance to my race. There is an organization known as the Mollie Grove Mining and Milling Co., chartered under the laws of Colorado, claiming to own about 114 acres of land in Grand county, near the Blue Ridge Mining District. They have been established for years and going around over the country holding meetings among the colored people and claiming that they lack only a few thousand dollars to buy machinery to handle the output of the mine and that there is several thousand dollars worth of valuable ore lying on the ground there ready to be smelted. They have been carrying on this racket for the past two years, but nothing seems to materialize. We will be very glad if you will have some of your officials, who know of this property to investigate it and give us a true report. In order that we can warn our people to flee from the wrath to come. The following is the answer from the Governor of Colorado concerning the same: Denver, Colorado, July 12, 1913. Mr. Nick Chiles, Toneka, Kansas. Dear Sir: Governor Ammons has requested me to write you in answer to yours of July 8th. The State Mine Inspector reports that no work has been done on the property except the an at ir New Home tist State Convention of Kansas and has a great deal to do with placing the Baptists of this state in as good standing as those of any other state in the Union. He is one of the best pulpit orators in the West, a polished educated gentleman of high standing, and Oklahoma certainly has a man to be proud of. His devoted wife, Mrs. Wilson, is a church worker and has been a great leader in this organization. She is an intelligent and well educated lady and stands high in her community and has a host of friends. She spends most of her time in literary and church work and has been a great assistance to her husband. Rev. Wilson holds other official positions in various lodges and secret organizations of the country.

No ore was being produced and only three men employed while work is being conducted. The average wages paid are 3$.00. However, a good deal of mineral has been found in the neighborhood of this mine but not enough mineral has been developed to make a paying mine, although prospects seem to be very good when sufficient development should have been made. Yours very truly. C. B. DORRINGTON, Clerk. Diamond Head, Uncle Sam's Fortified Crater Which Forms Part of the Defenses of Oahu, Has Been Aptly Termed "The Lion of Hawaii." Harold Sands in Los Angeles Times: DIAMOND HEAD, that monumental elevation of lava which stands out so prominently on the Honolulu side of the lovely island of Oahu, Hawaii, is the one and only original crater in the world which is being devoted to the use of the army of a great power. The island of Oahu is the key to the Pacific and Uncle Sam carries that key on a chain in capacious pocket. At any time war breaks out Uncle Sam's hand, which has not lost its cunning, will go to that pocket with the swiftness of a Western sheriff and the result will be a roar of guns which will be heard around the world. The roar will be contributed to by the guns of Ft. Ruger, which are at the base of Diamond Head on the landward side. From Diamond Head, called by poets "The Lion of Hawaii," to Pearl Harbor, named by newspaper writers "the Gibraltar of the Pacific," there is a chain of forts which makes Oahu one of the greatest fortresses in the world. When in Honolulu the writer had the pleasure of working with Albert Pierre Taylor, who has been spoken of "the recognized literary authority on things pertaining to Pearl Harbor and the defenses of Hawaii." He said on one occasion: "Uncle Sam has declared to the world that he is on guard in the Pacific. At Pearl Harbor is Fort Kamehameha with its battery of 12-inch guns; at the mouth of Honolulu Harbor will be a battery of small guns; at Ift. De Rusey, Wankiki, a battery of 14-inch guns; while at Diamond Head a battery of eight mortars has been manned for nearly three years. Within the extinct crater of Diamond Head, Gibraltarlike galleries have been constructed and in one of them an observatory has been established. The fire control for all the Oahu coast batteries has been located in this gallery. From this station the fire of the guns of all the forts can be directed by electric telegraph. The guns of Pearl Harbor cross those of Diamond Head and with the batteries between make a veritable wall of steel." After inspecting the guns at Fort Ruger, two of us, with a soldier guide, walked to the entrance of the gallery which has been bored through the lava and sandstone which compose the steep sides of the crater of Diamond Head. A sentry barred the way. The permit was produced and proved the open sesame. The heavy iron door at the entrance to the volcanic passage was swung back and, with a soldier in front and another in the rear, the visitors started down the gallery. A single narrow guage track ran the entire length of the passage. On this steel small trucks had been pushed by the soldiers who loaded and unloaded the debris which army comrades had dug from the walls of the crater. The ties were broken in places and the guide issued a warning to step carefully. On first stepping into the gallery the darkness, after the tropical sunlight was of the kind that Milton described as visible. Only a few steps had been taken before the light at the far end of the gallery was easily seen. Instead of the barren lava bowl, "hard as flint and as smooth as glass," as the picture man so picturesquely puts it, the inside of the crater was found to be grass covered, with trees and bushes standing here and there, which drew their moisture from the "liquid sunshine," the Honolulu people charmingly describe the rain. The guide pointed out the observatory high up on the Ewa side of the crater from which officers direct the shooting by the men who man the big guns at the fort outside the crater. These men never see the target at which they aim far out at sea. The projectiles from the high powered guns pass over the crater and by telephone from the observatory the men learn whether they have made a hit or a miss. They generally score a hit. In the event of a war involving the United States on the Pacific the crater of Diamond Head may indeed prove "the Lion of Hawaii," as Frances Bent Dillingham, a Honolulu poet, has described it, and "if once stirred, his paw could sweep a navy to its death! If once aroused, his roar would soon be heard across the sea and echoed from the sky." BEATRICE NEBRASKA. Mrs. L. J. Jordon and daughters, Misses Inez and Grace and G W.

JACK JOHNSON IN LAND OF FREE AND HOME OF BRAVE! Champion Heavyweight Pugilist of the World on a Trip to the Old World—Voyage a Pleasant One. Havie, France, July 10—Mr. John Arthur Johnson, champion heavyweight of the world, his wife and their suite arrived here today. The champion is well and declares that he is fit to meet any fighter who has the proper kind of purse. He does not intend to remain in Paris and he never said that, he intended to remain here, as was reported throughout the world, but he will return to Chicago early in October to stand trial in the Federal Court for an alleged violation of the Mann act. Back in Time for Trial. "I will return to Chicago in time for my trial," said the champion to your correspondent. "I have done no wrong; the whole world is with me and I am over here to make some money. No, I have had no trouble coming over. The sea was calm and life was all serene. We return in time for my trial. I have nor never had any idea of running away. My attorneys have been fully advised, and the talk about increased bonds is all bash. It's not money, but recreation," declared the champion in leaving. LOCAL Press Has Brain Storm. The local newspapers published stories like the following: "As regadrs Johnson's bonds," said Mr. Parkin, "we can do nothing until October. Judge Carpenter has ruled that we cannot forfeit the bond until Johnson fails to appear at the time set for his case to come up. There are two bonds, one of $15,000 signed by Matthew Baldwin, which will be forfeited if the Court of Appeals decides that Johnson's conviction was proper and he fails to appear to serve his sentence. The other bond is his personal bond for $30,000, for which no property, was scheduled at all. This will be forfeited if Johnson fails to appear Oct. 13 to stand trial on other white slave charges still pending." INDEPENDENCE, KANS. This section is badly in need of rain. Crops are suffering.

When alfalfa is grown on corn or potato ground the preparation of the seed bed is a comparatively simple of fair, writes L. R. Waldron of the North Dakota experiment station. The land should be disked in the spring and worked with a peg tooth harrow. After disking and harrowing, the ground should be worked occasionally during the spring with disk and harrow, in order to conserve the moisture and to kill the young germinating weeds. Growing alfalfa after a corn or potato crop is of added advantage in Photograph by Long island agricultural experiment station Photograph by Long island agricultural experiment station SEEDING ALFALFA WITH HAND DRILLS that the seed bed is firm below the top, two or three inches. The small seed of the alfalfa and the delicate nature of the young plant demand a compact seed bed in comparison to what is allowable for corn or even for wheat. In an open, porous seed bed the soil is apt to dry out in the upper few inches, and if this occurs shortly after the germination of the alfalfa the young seedlings are quite liable to die through lack of moisture. If alfalfa is to be grown after a crop of small grain the land should be fall plowed. The fall plowing allows the seed bed to become more compact than spring plowing and, in addition, aids in conserving moisture. The fall plowing should be worked in the spring in much the same manner as the corn or potato ground. Alfalfa may be grown upon summer fallow, though this probably has no advantage over corn ground in most instances. Reading good farm papers never made any man a poorer farmer or a poorer man. How many do you read? Marah Hay is Good For Use as a Mulch—Way to Keep Calery. As soon as the ground freeres mulch the strawberries. Use a light, coarse material that will not pack down too closely and thus smother the plants. Marah hay is excellent for this purpose, as it contains few seeds. Last winter I kept celery in the fruit cellar nearly all winter. At harvest I dug the plants, leaving considerable soil on the roots, removed them to a dimly lighted corner of the cellar and packed them closely. A little additional soil was packed in among the roots, and the plants were then thoroughly watered, taking care not to wet the tops or get any in the heart of the plant. Every three weeks during the winter it was thoroughly watered. It kept perfectly and continued to grow slowly throughout the winter. — Professor Wright, Pennsylvania State College, in American Agriculturalist. Among the Animals. For some years past a number of dairymen in Australia have adopted the practice of blanketing cows during wet and cold weather. The results in every case are spoken of as being highly satisfactory. Keep the horseshoes well tightened on the hoofs now, as this is the time of year they are most frequently lost by being loomed in the mud or snow or because of long usage. They are too high priced to be lost, and, besides, a loose shoe injures the hoof and is a blindness to the animal in travel. When an ewe drops her lamb put her in a small pen for two or three days or until the lamb is strong enough to follow the flock. Examine the udder and teats to see that they are not fevered. If the lamb is unable to consume all the milk for a few days the ewe should be milked out at least once each day. The production of farm yard manure in this country now represents a value greater than the total value of the corn crop. The estimated annual value of farm manure produced in America is $2,333,000,000. All authorities agree that more than one-third of this material is absolutely wasted by the farm-ora.

Sworn to and subscribed before me this 17th day of July, A. D. 1917. (Scal.) My Commission expires Feb 20th, 1916. We hope the Commissioners of the city government will see to it that the Street Railway Co. is not forced to rush and push their affairs to a detriment, as they are doing much to build up the town and promote interest as well as increasing the value of the land of the taxpayers. There are too many things being demanded of the corporation at one time and if heed is given to every coyote that howls, just because he can, it will be useful to the company. Each demand means an extra expenditure of money and it works a hardship on the company as well as the business men and the taxpayers. A good street car company means much to the rapid growth of a city and they should be given a chance as well as private individuals and everything will come out right in the end We are at loss to know why See'y Hawkins of the Financial Board of the A. M. E. church at Washington has used so much influence to stop the money appropriated by the General Conference to care for the old preachers at a Home at Colorado Springs, Colo. The money was to be taken out of the Board to finish paying for the Home and we cannot see why he has assumed so much responsibility and stopped the money, saying the law was passed improperly. This Home was a great institution for the preachers. It was beautifully situated and built in a fine locality. It was a large building, all modern and neatly furnished, with large airy rooms, electric lights, steam heat and baths, and located in one of the greatest health resorts in the country. Rev. J. W. Braxton, the founder of this Home, and his wife, have struggled hard at this Home, and with the hope that some day they will receive their reward and it is an outrage for a man, who has given his best days to the cause of the A. M. E. church to be checked in such a great undertaking and for no reason. We think these big to-do men at the head should allow justice to be done and carry out what was voted at the General Conference. The sooner these "big" men are disposed of and taught that their place is to serve the people and not boss them the better it will be for all concerned. We are surprised that the Bishops' Council did not insist on this man, Hawkins, to carry out the orders of the Conference. This Home is much needed and justice should be done. Let the ministers of the Fifth Episcopal District and the Bishop get busy and see that they receive what is due them from the General Conference. If the Bishops would adhere to the teaching of the Saylor and remember the obligations they have assumed as Bishops, they will not idle away their time and money and look after such things as this case at Colorado Springs. Where is the Bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District? Let him speak out for his people. He has assumed charge and taken the responsibility and if the work fails, he will have to bear the blame.

Nick Chiles, Topeka, Kansas, Dear Sir and Bro.: I am again on my feet after a critical operation at the Bell Memorial hospital, Rosedale, Kansas, where I stayed for several weeks thereafter. I was discharged from there a few days ago and came home. I am getting along fine and feel better than I have felt in many years, notwithstanding I am yet weak from the operation and the long siege in bed at the hospital. The Bell Memorial hospital is an institution where a great many colored people go for treatment and operations, and I must say that it is a great place for any person who needs hospital treatment or an operation, because it appeared to me that everybody is treated the same be he white or black, and every attention is given a patient and the very best care is taken by the attendants. Trusting you are well and happy. I am Faternally DENNIS JONES. KANSAS CITY. MO. Mr. and Mrs. J.

How to Handle the Squeakers and Them Dame to Get Best Results Their Dams to Get Best Results In raising hogs cheaply it is necessary to begin with the sows. They must be fed well in order to produce a good litter of strong, vigorous pigs Oats are a splendid feed. They are a well balanced food. Corn is not suitable. It is too fattening. Also provide plenty of pure water Exercise is necessary. This can be provided by feeding the oats on a feeding floor, scattering them thinly. It is not necessary to grind the oats. The sows should be handled so one can go up to them at any time. A good time to have them farrow is about April 1. A good place is a stall in the horse or cow barn. The time of farrowing can be determined quite exactly. The milk comes into the teats four to six hours before farrowing. Don't feed the sow for twenty-four hours after farrowing, but give her slightly warmed water. They feed some feed like oats and some shorts. When the little pigs are five or six weeks old begin feeding them some grain feed like ground oats. A good A man in a hat is feeding a cow. FEEDING THE LITTLE FELLOWS. way is to fence off their trough so the sow can't get to it. Wean the pigs when about twelve weeks old. A good pasture should be provided For early spring a rye pasture is the This can be followed by a mixed pasture, as follows; Peas, two bushels per acre; barley, one bushel, and rape three to four pounds. Some grains should be fed, as the pasture alone will not be sufficient. Then plant a patch of squaw corn. The pigs can be turned into this the middle of August. The sows that are to be used for breeding should not be turned into the corn, but keep them on the pasture and feed some grain, as oats or shorts. This requires the minimum of labor and makes cheap pork. An expense hog house is not necessary. A straw shed will answer very well. Set up some posts in a circle, with an alley leading to the east. Put woven wire fence on the posts and some poles on top. Throw the straw over it when thrashing. The A shaped houses are fine for the sows after they have farrowed.—W. R. Lanzon, Super intendent Hettinger Substation, N. D. --- The greatest advantage in dairy farming is its relation to the fertility of the soil. No other system of farming excels it in this respect, and but few equal it. A farm used for dairy purposes does not lose in fertility, but gains, and may be used for this purpose almost indefinitely. Drilling Oats Is Best. Oats which are drilled usually yield just a little better than when broadcast. Because of the uniform covering less seed is required and the ripening is more even Quick Work With Alfalfa. Alfalfa land should be diskel as early in the spring as the ground is in condition, as alfalfa starts rather promptly and will be injured if it is already under way. "GOING TO LAW."

I want you to please send by mail three bottles of your shampoo, three boxes of hals grower and two boxes of preserving oil. I like the remedy just fine, I would not be without it for anything. I am using it on my little girl's hair and it seems to be helping it greatly. MRS. ANNA BRUNER. Kansas City, Mo, 1-20-1913. Dear Madam Dabney: I am a mother of four girls. In trying to improve their hair I had tried several preparations but none gave me the good results until I used Mme. Dabney's XXth Century Preparations. Their hair was thin, harsh and would fall out so that I dreaded to use a comb. Now their hair is growing nicely—does not fall out, has no dandruff, is soft and pretty. Three of the girls are attending Wendell Phillips school Howard and Vine streets. Investigation will bear out my testimony. I would not be without the XXth Century Hair Preparations in my house. MRS.

Through a recent invention of an expert Brewmaster of this city a sparkling and foaming Lager Beer can be made right at home for one cent a glass. He has concentrated Barley, Malt and Hops, the principle ingredients of Beer, so that simply by the addition of water and sugar a genuine and pure Lager Beer can be made. Easily made in any kitchen, no apparatus, no experience necessary, a few minutes does the work. It is claimed by many that the Beer made by this method is better and purer than the best Brewery Beer, and above all saves the Brewers' enormous profits. The question of the legality of his method has been carefully investigated by the highest authorities and found to be legitimate in every respect. He has written a very interesting booklet giving the "Secrets of Brewing Beer at Home" and by writing to Brewmaster, A. S. Shuh, 532 Sycamore St., Cincinnati, O., he will be more than pleased to mail his booklet absolutely free to anyone sending their name and address.

Sunflower Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythons, and Court of Calanthe, will convene in their annual grand session at Kansas City, Kansas, Tuesday, July 22, at M. and O. Hall in the Court work much credit is due Mrs. Julu Summers, G. W. C., for the great work she has done in the building up of the order. She has paid special attention to the working of coordinate lodges under the jurisdiction. Mr. John E. Lewis, G. C., decided to design his position shortly after the session held at Wichita last year, but later changed his mind. This being the case he should not be candidate at this session, several others being mentioned for the position. Among these are Dr. J. H. Arthur, D. S. H. Thompson, Dr. J. N. Source of Kansas City, H. I. Monroe and Prof. R. H. Wade of Topka, Sir Drumgould of Arkansas City, Sir Roberts, G. T. of the Endowment Department of Wellington, and the grand master of courtesay of Lawrence. Any of the above mentioned will make excellent presiding officers. We think the Grand Court should not be imposed upon any longer by being made to pay out $25 a year for a Grand Attorney, as it is just throwing away money and is useless. This money could be put into the grand treasury to pay off orphans and widows. This is the only Grand Court in the state that has a Grand Attorney, as the others only hire one when needed and is much better than paying our money when there is no need to do so. We think we will find it very beneficial if a great many useless expenditures were cut out. Wilson's garden open every Thursday evening. Come early and stay until the last car. Hon. W. W. Fisher of Kansas City, family and his mother-in-law will move to their new home at Evanston, Illinois in a few days. The many friends of Mr. Fisher, both of Topeka and Kansas City, where they have lived for many years, will regret their departure. They are one of the best families in Kansas and have always lived above reproach and we commend them to the citizens of their new home and wish them success, happiness and prosperity. They leave behind a host of friends and many good wishes. Mr. Fisher is one of the leading men of the race and a great orator. He has an excellent business education and is a good bookkeeper and can handle any business with which he may be intrusted. Until a short time ago he was connected with Western University, filling the capacity of Fiscal Agent, and handled the business successfully. He was changed on account of the Democratic administration, as he is a staunch Republican and will always be found at the front fighting for his party. Although we think it will prove to his advantage as he travels along to get in the middle of the road and help the man that is fighting his battles. He is a staunch Christian and worker in the A. M. E. church and will always be found in the front ranks fighting for its success. Mr. Fisher has sacrificed his beautiful home on N. North street, Kansas City, Kansas, for half of its value to establish a business in Illinois He has a devoted wife and a fine family of children, who will make their way through the world when properly educated, which is the highest ambition of Mr. and Mrs. Fisher. Mrs. Fisher is a highly esteemed wife and mother and devoted much of her time to the uplift of the women of her race. She is a dressmaker and has designed some very handsome garments. She spends up idle hours and looks after the interest of the household. They will be accompanied by Mrs. Fisher's mother, who has been with them for several years. She is an upright Christian lady and wishes to go, so as to be near her son, Mr. Andrew Johnson, whom she has not seen for many years. This will be a great comfort and consolation to her and we hope he will be her company from now on. If Illimite cannot give Mr. Fisher and his family justice we will have him return to the Sunflower state, where we will take race of him. You can pay your room and board and have one medical bath a day for $6.80 at the Cobb Hotel, Claremore. WANTED! A good colored barber wanted at once to work on white trade. Phone or write J. B.

We have not had a good rain in two months or more. Corn looks like a failure. We have five churches now in running order: First and Second Baptist, Macedonia Baptist, M. E. and A. M. E. The cornerstone of the Second Baptist church was laid the fifth Sunday in June. So you see we are preparing for the world unknown. The cornerstone of the Macedonia Baptist church bears the following inscription: "Macedonia Church, A. Jones, Pastor." The said stone was laid by the national Compact Masons, Rev. Joe Smith of Coffeyville, Kas., officiating. The pastor is a member of the A. F. and A. M. lodge and the lodge sticks close to him. Divine though he is, he becomes angry at being written up, and threatens to use club on the writer's head or back. But if he does not wish to be published he should do right or get out from the public. Our children are being branded every day by leading Negroes doing dirty work to be popular and think they can go on and nothing said about it.

A convenient place should be provided for water for the hems. It is best to construct a small stand about one foot above the floor and place the water dish on this. This stand can be constructed in the partition so that the hems in two penns drink from one dish. It is, however, usually better to give each pen a separate drinking dish. The water stand should be placed where it is light and also where it is convenient to empty the dish and refill it. As a rule, the water dish will keep cleaner if near the south side of the building, as the hems scratch the litter toward the north much more ```markdown ``` Photograph by Wisconsin agricultural experiment station WATER DISH FOR POULTRY. [Stand like this insures clean water for fowls.] than toward the front of the house. A hen faces the light usually when digging in the straw for her feed, and the result is that the litter works back. There are numerous drinking devices on the market, many of which are valuable. A large number of farmers, however, use either a small pail or pan. A low pull makes a very convenient water dish, as the ball enables it to be readily handled with one hand. A pan as shown in the cut also makes a convenient watering dish. Care should be taken not to use watering devices of any kind which have parts that cannot be readily cleaned. A dirty drinking dish is frequently a source of disease and should never be permitted in any poultry house. Attention to Colt's Feet. Don't forget to give the colt's feet attention. There is always a reason for a poor set of limbs. It may be hereditary, but it is generally carelessness on the part of the owner who did not keep its feet trimmed down level with the frog. A colt's feet are continually breaking off and splitting if they are not attended to promptly.—Horse Journal. Make the Hone Work. Don't overfed your hems. When they begin to not lazy and walk around as if they had little or no ambition you can make up your mind that they are getting too much food without work. Blury their grain in the soft ground or in deep litter and rooke them work for it—Kansas Farmer. THE SOIL IS ALIVE. A productive soil is not a mass of inert material, as many seem to regard it. It is a living, active medium, with organic matter, where micro-organisms are busy in reducing vegetable matter to available plant food. No matter how much chemical plant food there is in the soil, unless there be organic matter the soil will not produce large crops. FROM HORN TO HOOF. Probably no single cause leads more to check milk secretion than the failure to remove all the milk at the time of milking, says Houdt's Dairyman. Cows are baited at least once a week. The best plan is to have salt under cover where the cows can get to it at will. Rock salt, of course, is best for this purpose. Roots are perhaps most valuable during the first part of the fattening period, particularly with cattle. From forty to fifty pounds per day may be felt at first; then the amount should be gradually diminished. Professor Duluth of the Illinois experiment station says that the proper water supply for a pig images from twelve pounds daily per just pounds live weight at the time of weaning to four pounds per 100 pounds live weight during the fattening period. Oats and may make excellent hay They may be grown in the spring as soon as the ground can be work- along one and a half bushels of each in the area. The peas will be ready to eat about July 1, when the nuts are set in the milk stage and the peas just firing in the jobs. Farm and Garden HOME CHEESEMAKING. Product Helps to Lower Living Cost by Teaching Places of Meat. In these times of high prices it becomes us to manage in every way to reduce the cost of living, and yet be well supplied with plenty of whose some and nutritious food. Now these will in a measure supply the place of meat, and if made in the home on the farm will cost but little in comparison with meat. Any one having such a point to obtain five or six pounds of milk in the morning or part evening milk can be used providing it is perfectly sweet can make dish loose toast and if a part of evening's milk is used it may as well be skimmed as that cream is likely to be lost. The often also needed can be found in any farm house. Take six gallons of milk, heat to 50 degrees in a clean wash toilet, remove from the stove and hold one half of a rennet tubelid, partially dissolved in half a cupful of water.

It is now ready to put into the press. Use a small wooden basket, with the bottom out, for a hoop. Set this on a clean board, place a clean wet cheese cloth in the hoop, put in your sealed curd and fold cloth over smoothly as possible, put on a round basket or a tin lid that will fit in the hoop and place your weights on not too heavy at first. Add more after a time. Press as dry as possible. Leave it press until evening. Take out trunk off all unseen edges.
