Heat the milk to 140 deg. F. and maintain this temperature for one and one-half hours. While cooking,' stir only sufficiently' often to insure uniform . heating. One satisfactory' method is to set the container in a ..1arg6 receptacle containing water of the desired temperature. When the cooking process is com- plete, pour the contents into a cheese cloth strainer, suspend and allow to a mould holds a cheese weighing from 5 to 6 ounces. When . moulding, the cheese should be pressed with a wet parchment paper which will serve as a cover or protector far the cheese, keeping it. firm. Cheese cloth cut in small squares may also be used, . but the wet parchment is equally satis factory, cheaper and more convenient. Marketing—Such cheese should be marketed in a small, attractive car- ton, large enough to hold the wrapped cheese snugly. It should be marketed promptly, and, as a rule, is at its best when not more than three days old. Store in a refrigerator, cool room or clean cellar. When marketing this way, buttermilk should bring about $3.50 to $4 per 100 pounds if these cheese are sold at 10 or 12 cents. While the foregoing has' reference more to cases where fairly large quantities are made, the same prin- ciples may be applied or adapted to home manufacture where the product will be found popular and inexpensive.

Ail educators are firm believers in obedience, but just as soon es the child is old enough to reason — and' this age is reached much earlier than! we usually assume -obedience to law shea1d be given equal stress with obedience to individuals. This neces- sity is sometimes lost sight of. Law is universal; the child meets it at every turn. He will And that it is impartial, if relentless, and that its rewards for obedience ai•e as certain as aro its punishments for dis- obedience. Parents cannot always be with their children to guide and con- trol them, and, the sooner they teach them . the inevitable 'operation of .law, the better fitted the children will be to meet the obligations • of the future. Two mothers of my acquaintance followed two distinct methods with their children: The first became their mentor, calling them each morning to get ready for school long before it was necessary. She followed this call with. a continuous supervision of their pre- parations and with frequent .remon- strances, such as, "You'll be late; do hurry; it is almost nine o'clock," (when it was not half -past eight) until the children were off. This same mother had a habit of setting the clock forward, and, this being discov- ered by the children, their 'demoralita- tion was complete. These children are now grown up, and they attribute their habits of pro- crastination and tardiness to, the faulty training they received in child- hood. The second mother, as soon as her children reached the school age, 'said. to each one earnestly, "Now, my dear, you have learned to tell time, :and. Mother, its well as your teacher, wi,li' expect you to be pecemet at school. 'I will remind you the,rfirst two or three morninrs, but, after that, you ,must I depend entirely upon yourself." It happened in the first or second week that one child, becoming interest- ed in soniething else, forgot to make his preparations in time` to • reach school before the bell sounded. But in this one tardiness he learned his lesson.. Though the mother knew he would be late, she did not depart from the rule not to remind him; and, while no one could have been more sympa- thetic than she over the tardiness, at the, .same time, she very gently and lovingly encouraged the child to real- ize that, if he were careful, it would not occur again. The result was that her.. chgidren early learned the 'value of time, while punctuality became second nature to them. The samemethod wisely applied would 'solve many of the every day problems of Iife without the friction that frequently occurs and which is so injurious"to the nervous organism of the child, to say nothing of its. mental strain on the parents. '- Appeal to the highest sentiments in your child, and the result will be gratifying. There are simple systems of reward for very young children, which are of assistance in helping to establish cer- tain beneficial habits at an age when habits are : easily ' formed, but these rewards should be discontinued as the child grows o'lder, and eppeal should. be made to the sense of ; justice and the sense of altruism which children often possess to an uncommon degree. What Spraying Does to Bugs. Ornamental Sia by f r North Tho Kapuskasing Experimental Station is setting a fine example to the settlers ie that part of New On- tario in which the Farm is situated, in the use of 'ornamental trees .and shrubs.

The passenger, car or truck' mired deep into soft, roads is a daily occur reuse during rainy spells • or when frost is leaving the ground. There is a quick method of remov- ing the mired ear from pits which are dug by the revolving wheels. A plank about six and 'a half feet long andtwo pieces of chain are all that are needed. Rope can replace the chains. Place this plank across the wheels, with1 h a len of chain joining each end of the plank and the adjacent wheel. The wheels are locked to the plank' so that these must ..revolve together., , resulting in drawing the board under•• the wheels and lifting them out of the deep recesses. Even with the rear axle resting, on the ground, thin will lift the car out.
