A bar of strong oak timber six inohoe wide and three think baa a tongue fitted into ib in the usual way, , and is furnished with -a number of curved teeth made of halfinoh steel bar. The teeth are sharpened so that they take feat hold of the stubs below bho endue of the ground and tear them out, and also gather them as they pull them out of the soil. As e, load to collected, the rake is lifted by a pair of handles fastened to the bar. The shape of tbo teeth ie shown, and these are best made with a thread ea the bop for a nut to fasten them in the bar. The bar may be made as long or short as may be thought proper. The most effect is gained. by going diagonallyaaroee the rows so that the teeth will take good hold of the stubs. Tho best time to do the work ie after the ground has been softened by the rain, but not until the soil is dry enough for clean work. The teeth should be not less then four inches apart. In turning at the end of tho rows it will be safest to lift the bar clear of the ground to avoid bending the teeth. When the gathered trash is dry it may be burned and the ashes' spread at once... Cheese Making at. Home. Cheese making has always seemed to me to belong to the occult arts, and I have re- gardod with awe and reverence the woman who could make cheese at home with even good conveniences, writes a correspondent. But after many trials I have learned how to make cheese with the commonest kind of implements, and have good results. The milk from six coos saved nightand morning veil' make a cheese weighing about ten pounds when done. ' If one does not hove enough milk, it is a good plan , to Club to- gether with a neighbor and divide the cheese or the profiletherefrom after mak- ing. A thermometer is needed for cheese making. One of the commonest causes of tough; cheese is having the milk at a wrong temperature, eighty degrees being right. One cannot tell how warm the mills is by trying it with theband, a temperature of eighty degrees will often seem cold. The first cheese I assisted in making,1 had tho milk too warm, and although the curd' formed speedily, the cheese was very tough and poor. Having tho temperature right, dissolve and add one small rennet tablet for the milk from six oowe,etirup and let stand till itthickens; the time required will be from forty minutes upward. I have an idea that the longer at tabes to thicken,the • better the cheese, but this may be a notion. When well thickened, take a knife and oat down through it in squares, then wait for the whey to begin to come up on top. When it separates,lay a cheese cloth over the top of the curd and dip the whey off: A boiler. will do to have the milk iu and a cheesecloth a yard and a half or two yards iu length will do to put over into extract the whey. All handling must be done gently, as the rough- er the handling the more Dream is loot is the whey. Save a little whey for after use. After dipping off part of the whey, stir the curd very gently with the hands, break it up, and this will eliminate more whey ; this should be repeated until the whey is all separated from the curd. Next take a clothes basket, spread the cheese oloth in it, and place the basket over a tub, Carefully put the ourd into the oloth and work a little with the hands till it beginsto seem fine and the whey is well drained out. If the whey does not separate easily, the milk should hove stood a little loner to thicken. Much will be learned in making one cheese,, After the ourd ie .worked as above, heat about a quart of whey to that it will. feel warm to thehand, and poor over the curd, work a little, and if the ourd squeaks while handling it Is ready to salt, but ifthereis no squeaky Sound, heat a little more whey and pourover; it taker very little heat to harden the ourd so that dt will squeak; if it becomes too "squeaky," the cheese will be hard' and tough. If the milk was ton warm to begin with, the ourd will "squeak" before the warm whey is poured' ever it, and it should be omitted. Allow four or five good tablespoonfuls of salt for the tuilk from six cows, and work in lightly, taete,aud if not saltenoughudd alittlemoro,, work the curd up, and have the press ready. This may be improvised. A round hoop freta a peck =Retire ,will do, that is, a reek measure with no bottorn in. Lay a cloth in this, set it up with a clean board under input a cloth over the top of the meas- ure,put the curd on the cloth and let it press the :sloth down into the measure. ,Have a cover that will fit insidca the measure, bring the sloth over the top of the out•tt &s - smoothly as possible, put tate' eover down and press by means of a leveror with weights. The weight needed is not ex theme, because if preaaed too Bard the cheese will nob bo as good'. Ts snake a gond cheese the following pollute must bo remembered : First, do not have the anflk too warm, eighty degrees bumg right' second, let it stand till the milk is well thickened after• adding therennet; third handle gently in every process.;. fourth, do not use too much salt ; fifth, have the press stand levet or the olteea8 will be one -aided ; sixth, turn the cheese over at night, using Iclean wet cloth when tide change is made. he cloth: should always, be wet when put • in the prose.

EGGS. IN ENGLAND: The Ileornrons Trade lit Vgge Between England and the Continent. Probably few retail buyers of eggs have the faintest uotion of the secrets of they English egg trade says the London Globe. They imagine that some of the seoond•elass cooking eggs come fromll'rance,but theyeup. pose that nine out of ten of the eggs the buy are laid in England, Perhaps, therefore, a few figures relating to the importation of eggs may prove both new and interesting. For the sake of convenience wewill take the returns for the year 1892. In that year the United Kingdom imported 11,139, 419 "great hundreds" of eggs. and paid 43,794,718 for them. It is "obvious that eggs made In Germany, France and Den.. mark cannot be exactly "-new laid," in the ordinary sense of the phrase, by the time they have been distributed through the length and breath of England. But it must not be supposed that the egga we import come from no greater distance than the countries named. There is some ground for believing that at leasb £30,000 worth of eggs come into this country annually from Moroaeo. Certain it is that Morocco ex- ported, in 1892, £38,549 worth of eggs, that bhroe•forbhs of that country's trade is with Great Britain, and that the rest le chiefly with France and Germany, both being countries that Bend eggs to us. Why, it may be asked, should countries like' France and Germany. import eggs when they have so many of their own that they San export then to England? The answer is that they have not got such a euperabundanoe of their own eggs as at first sight appears. But they make a profit as middlemen, by .importing eggs from all parts of the world, and then exporting them to this benighted 'country. Banos we now plunge stillmore deeply into the mysteries of the egg market. An egg coining from Bertin or Hamburg may not, after all, have been made in Germany ; ft may have come from some remote Russian. village, and after weeks of traveling over land and sea, figure as a "fresh' egg in the Londonshops. As a matter offact, in 1892,,Ruseta exported, chiefly to Austria, Germany. and .'France, 739,220,560 eggs, valued stover twelve million roublee,beeides 12,556 cwt. of preserved eggs in tine,valued at 164,770 roubles. We have .seen that France and Germany da not keep all the eggs they import. Nor does Austria, which in 1892 exported eggs to the vatic of 23,400,000 florins. Well may we exclaim vita Mr, Peokeufff, as regards eggs, " See how they oomo and go Pi ENCOURAGING FACTS. The English Prisons Are Declining as 11,e Number or School Children lit Grease. " Foll eohools mean empty prisons' is the motto of the writer of an article in the current number of the Schoolmaster, and it must be confessed, says the London News, that the array of facts and figures with which he furniehee his readers yields abun- dant support to this emiueutlyencouraging doctrine, Far and wide we can see, nay, cannot if we would help seeing, that our prisons are, to a considerable extent, dia. appearing, their sites being for the most part taken for the erection of model lodging houses for the poorer classes. " The gaols have failed," ae some one has tersely put it "for want of adequoteeupportfromthe Brim inalalaaaes,' and it is eignifioant that they began to be in a bad way when the Schee Board Act caste into active operation, and have gone on declining stop by stop as the number of children on the roll of the prim.. ary aohoola'has fathomed. In 1370, with a population under 23,000,000, we hod iu England and Wales 12,000 primaryeohools. `Then the number of prisons reached 113. In 1390 the population had increased to nearly 20,000,000, and the primary schools to 20,0( 0, while the number of prisons had fallen to less than 00. Roughly speaking, while the number of obildren in the primary schools had increased in the period referred to about threefold the number of thieves or euspeeted persons on the roll of the pollee reel nde had diminished by nearly ono -third, and Ghia in the face of a large increase iu the population.
