Campbell is the author, under the title, "Wby and How to Use Cheeee," being a companion publication to the setae writer's "Why and How to TsTse Milk." Prior to 1864 all the cheese con- sumed in Canada, except a small quantity imperted, was made on the farms. In that year the first factory was established in Oxford county, On- tario, and in the following year e second factory was erected in Missis- quoi county, Quebec. From that time on, the factory syetem spread rapidly until- now farm -made cheese is prac- tically unknown, excepting the Cot- tage kind. While every province has its, factories, 97 per cent. of the cheese made in tbe country is credited to On- tario and Quebee, although the Prairie Province.a are making considerable eirogrees, in its manufacture. The pro- duction of cheese in Canada, mainly "Cheddar," runs on an average to up- wards of 150,000,006 pounds annually, valued at from, $35,000,000 to $40,000,- 000, Notwithstandineethat the home and the roosts are also sprayel, there is little danger from these pests in the remainder of the house. If blue ointment keeps the hens free from lice the -re will be few, if any, lice around the poultry house. Hens do not usually lay softsshelled eggs when they are in good esondition and have plenty ot oyster shelle. Some- times a hen that is overfat will lay soft-shelled eggs occasionally. In a, large flock of we -ll -managed hens that are laying heavily an occasional soft- shelled egg might be found, due to conditiens in a few of the birds over whtch the poultryman would haae lit- tle control. e A few such losses may be unavoid- able and -it the hens have a balanced ration, plenty of oyster shell, and are not overfat, the loss from soft -Shelled eggs will be very sinall. a serious proposition.

Invariably these spots were on the exposed sides of the apples. Cheese and Its Uses. It is estimated that there are two hundred and fifty sorts of cheese in use in civilized countries. These may be roughly divided into two classes, namely, hard or preseed cheese, such as Chedder, Cheshire, Swise, Edam, and soft or unpressed such as Camem- beet, Brie, Limburgm, Pont L'Eveque, able place for military headcmaxters. was there that Jelmehaz had been put in ehains by,Pharaoh-neehaah (ch: Pa3: 33).

It is unfortunate, particularly ' to dairymen who sell' milk to cheese fac- tories, that a few producers bring dirty, gassy milk which, when,poured into the vats with good milk reduces the quality of the, entire day'a output of the cheese factore. Some effort should be made, by co-operative ,fac- tories at least, to oblige all patrons to keep their milk in- proper shape for making the highest quality of cheese. A single can of inferior milk will lower the price received and, there- fore, force a tax upon all the good pro- ducers. It would seem wise for the manager of the company to occasional- ly make tests of milk delivered and then, through the board of directors, and some appropriate plan for either getting the producer of such milk to clean -up or dispoae of Inc product else- where.
