Yet still, above that feeling and stronger than it, was the inane determination to spoil the story she had so elaborately built up. "I do not think, my dear Phipps, that we will go directly to work," he said, as they neared London. "You seo, we want to give them a surprise, of course; at the salve time, we must feel our way—must know exactly what we have to fight." "I quite agree with you," said DON'T OVERDO THE CULTURE BUSINESS. In the making of the finest fall cheese, care should be taken not to use too much culture. If the cul- ture bo added when there is only a shall quantity in the vat, and the temperature kept up in it will not bee necessary to use more than one- quarter of one per cent., that is, if the culture is good. By using a small quantity in this way we get a more gradual fermentation. If we allow the vat to be filled before Indoors or outdoors there is nothing quite so good as Triscuit—the Shredded NVhcat Wafer, which contains in smallest bulk all the muscle -building, brain -producing qualities of wheat.
