VINDICATION OF CHEESE.
The department of agriculture holdB
that It has demonstrated by actual
experiments that cheese Is one of the
most nutritious of foods. Even the
much-maligned Welsh rarebit Is not
only harmless, but actually health-
ful, says the New Orleans Picayune
According to the agricultural depart
ment, there Is no bad cheese, but
■ome cheese Is much better than
others. In order to test cheese as a
food thoroughly, the experts of the
department confined willing nubjects
for a certain number of days, feed-
ing them upon cheese of various de
frees of ripeness or rottenness, and i
In all cases the subjects of the ex- |
perlments thrived on the cheesy diet, j
Instead of becoming Burfelted with |
cheese, the persons experimented
with liked the diet better at the close
Df the experlmentA than they did at
the start. As a result of the experi-
ments the agricultural department, j
holds that one pound of cheese Is j
equal In nutritive value to two pounds
of any fresh meat or eggs and to
three pounds of fish. Heretofore
Americans have eaten cheese rather
as a relish than as a food, and trav-
elers In Europe have pitied the poor
peasants of the continent because
they were content with a meal of

foreign criminals in the British Isles
and particularly In London. An easy
compilation of statistics would be that
of the foreigners In British prisons.
But apparently as near as the statisti-
cians can come to this Interesting com
putatlon Is the consideration of the
number of foreigners given prison sen-
tence in 1909. The total Is 2,617, ac
cording to the Industrious statistics
hunter of the Chicago Tribune, and
Americans are easily first on the list
with an aggregate of 622. America
likes to be first In most things, and
Americans abroad enjoy the pleasure
of pointing out American supremacy
whenever occasion arises. In this case,
however, the United States would glad
ly yield the palm. Criminal pre-emi
nence Is not a pleasing distinction. It
may be said, however, that only the
higher class American criminals go
abroad to conduct their operations.
Probably the American jail birds In
England are the cream of the criminal
aristocracy. The poorer quality we
keep pretty well bottled up at home.
And we also have a fine large assort

try home and farm can indulge In,
nothing Is so pleasant and remunera-
tive as that of petflgreed stock breed-
ing. This may comprise horses of
the various breeds, cattle, sheep and
swine, either of which when taken
hold of practically and sensibly will
bring much pleasure and a good deal
of profit to the man who Indulges In
It. In the first place, there Is a ready
market for good pedigreed stock of
every kind, and apart from the pleas-
ure of breeding them and seeing them
flourish and grow into maturity there
is the dellghtfunl fascination of exhib-
iting them at the various horse knd
live stock shows, competing with
friends and neighbors and beating
them with animals one has bred Him-
self.

person, and this brought him second

was that which read: "The most beau-

Lamb Is Helpless.
Considerable attention should be
given to ewes and young lambs. A
new-born lamb Is just about the most
helpless thing on the farm, and fre-
quently needs a little help to get
started In life, but when fairly under
way no young stock will give the own-
er more satisfaction; and It will pay
to have patience and do all one can
to assist them at first.
Simple and Easy Method That Will

Headgear.
The season for traveling is once
more nearly upon us, and our hats, If
not broader, are higher than ever. Of
course you may ask the porter for a
paper bag to hold your hat on the
train. But how often will it fit?
Try, instead, laying the hat on a
sheet of stout brown paper, so as to
get the correct Blze. Then make the
paper Into a large envelope by gather-
ing the two sides in the middle and
pasting them down. Slit up the sides
about two inches and turn these down
to form the closed ends; but before
pasting them cut away the inner part
the turned-up ends and snip the
corners to give a neat edge.
Do the same with the top of the big,
but, of course, do not paste down the
flap. Sew to each side of the bag I . ,
