houses, hotels, and institutions of rats

"I have a thousand of them," said
the rat catcher, and I wouldn't sell the

The rats run from ferrets like mad,
but it is useless. Wherever a rat goes
a ferret can go. The ferret catches a
rat and then eats him—flesh, bones,
hair, tail, everything. Ferrets cannot
live without rats for any length of
time. I feed mine Hair, feathers, and

"Where do you get your ferrets?"
"I breed them. Different breeds
can be crossed as easily as with dogs."

Hon Liiubnrger Cheese is Made.
The milk is delivered at the factory
and strained into vats, as for other
cheese. It is then raised to a tempera
ture of 1)0 degrees Fahrenheit, when
enough rennet is added to coagulate
the mass in about thirty minutes. The
curd is then cut crosswise and length
wise of thu vat with a gang1 of steel
curd-knives. Soon after it is turned
with teu shovels frequently for an
hour, when it is left for the whey to
settle. If the curd is
of the projjercon
sistancy about two-thirds of the whey
is removed. Tim curd is now ready
for the molds, into which it is dip|iej,
the whey remaining and escaping
through the perforated sides of the
molds. After the curd has hardened
to a proper degree it is placed upon a I
table slightly inclined ami the whey!
drained oil', care being taken that the
cheese retains the form of the molds,
Then they are turned several times,
and finally are ready to receive the
salt, which is rubbed in by hand
morning and evening for four days,
thus gradually hardening until they
can be taken to the curing-room,
where the bricks of cheese are set on
edge close together. After being pro
perly cured they are then packed for
market. But prices fer this cheese
are also fluctuating, and the dealer
frequently needs to fetore las cheese in
a room of uriforni temperature to
preserve it fresh and prevent it from
becoming overripe. For this purpose
large and deep vaults and cellars are
built where the air is neither too hot
nor too cold—and the cheese will keep
well in summer or winter. It is made
with less ex]K?nse than American
cheese, its price is less fluctuating,
and hence the milk of tin
