Last Saturday at 5.30 pm. I landed in this thriving, bustling city. Since then I have been on the move constantly. My trip was a most delightful experience. The mountain scenery was magnificent, and it being my first experience of that feature of nature’s panorama I made the most of it. Wednesday and Thursday nights I spent largely on the platform of the tourist car. Three mountain engines were in use during each climb. The cities (so called) on the route are, with the exception of Helena and Spokane, raw, new straggling structures, but full of j activity. Spokaneis an active, growing weiLbuilt city of nearly 50,000, and will undoubtedly become a very important centre. The rain averages six months of the year in Seattle. They do not require to sprinkle their streets. The city is built on a succession of five terraces, following the course of the shore for several miles and broken into a succession of elevations. The streets running inland from the water are so steep from one street to the next above that there are cleats nailed on the sidewalk. and in many instances hand raila to assist the pedestrian. Here I saw the first of the Klondike craze. Accommodation of any kind is at a premium, and you hear nothing but Klondike and war talk. Every American is anxious to secure a commis- sion to whip Spain single~handed. Some of the business houses are large and well stocked. A very prominent feature in the larger stores is a gallery over the counters and shelving and counters {carried npâ€"double-decked stores in short. So many are returning from the upper end of the ocean portion of the trip disgusted and disheartened that it has to a coniiderable extent paralyzed the outfitting trade. Tacoma is a very beautifully situated city and of a more staid and civilized character, but the same never-ending hill climbing. Leaving Seattle the railway runs up through the most magnificent timber imaginable. But to give you an idea of the difficulties of building a road, when we have travelled 25 miles we are still within 7 miles of the city. The fir and cedar trees, varying in size from two to five feet through and one hundred to three hundred feet high. seem to grow as close together as possible, so much so that I do not think a ship could carry the quantity of timber standing on an area the size of the ship’s deck. There are billions of feet wasted by choppers and fire. We Easterners have no conception of what timber means. The run from there is not attractive in any respect till you strike the waters of Burrard Inlet. along the shores of which, close to the water's edge, the C.P.R. runs for ten or twelve miles into this city. The “Tartar,” ‘ a very large ocean liner, was in port discharging cargo, before proceeding to lay a submarine cable between here and Vancouver Island. I succeeded in secur- ing a room at my present address at $8 a month, and hard to get at that. Some have to pay $10 for similar sccommoda tion. I have already met a number of people we know, but the place is terribly cmgested. The city is all placarded with Klondike outfitters and several parties you find tenting on vacant property waiting for transportation. Real estate is quite active. but is held at too high prices to tempt investors, although I hear of considerable English money being invested in productive property. The city proper is on a promontory, in fact almost an island, I should say about five miles long and point to three wide; then the ocean and of the peninsula extending beyond the city, is devoted to park purposes. Stanley park is certainty to become one of the most attractive parks on the continent. The urive around it is over nine miles long, and it is heavily timbered with big trees -the lirgest I have yet seen. There has been considerable money spent on it already. The drive is superb, the under- growth and wreckage through the un- oleared portions is so dense that it is ll pe .etrabfe. E e.tually it will be alt cleared up. There is quite a menagerie at the entrance and it is visited ' ‘ " ' 0‘ , u 1 A _ rm. A u"b\s--v â€"‘ -â€"_- by thousands during Sunday. The bicycle is as much in evidence here as in Toronto. Across Burrard Inlet north- ward the city is faced by a chain of mountains, on which the smow remains all the year round. Mount Biker. 80 mlles east, is a prominent feature in the landscape. It is in American territory. Then to the south. across the other arm of the sea, is Mount Pleasant, a most attractively situated suburb. This will without doubt be the favorite residential section of the city. It is within easy access by trolley, is building up rapidly, and real estate is very active and rapidly increasing in value. Farther still some four miles you, I am told, you strike the month of the Fraser river and the active fiahl interests." I have not yet got so far. here ls a project on foot for tiventy cf us to go up Burrard Inlet twenty odd miles in a steam launch on Good Friday. A son of Dr. Fyfe and several nice youne fellows from Brighton and others from Woodstock are among them. ,The weather up till to-day has ’been most delightful.

LINDSAY MAN WHO RECENTLY WENT WEST TELLS ABOUT THEM.â€" PART OF A LETTER RECEN I'LY RE- CEIVED. LINDSAY, THURSDAY, APRIL 2181:, 1898. HOW PARKS GOT OUT To the Editor of the Wanna. Sm,â€"In an article published, in several papers referring to the release of W. H. Parks by order of Mr. Justice Ferguson after conviction by Police Magistrate Deacon, it is stated that Lawyer Du Vernet, who had charge of the case in Toronto, represented that Mr. Park’s counsel was not permitted to examine the only witness for the prosecution, that certain Methodist ministers were in close proximity to the magistrate. and that one of them was closeted with him during the trial. and that the application was granted, the attorney-general’s depart- ment not opposing the same ; from which it might be assumed that the representa~ {ions were true. I acted as counsel for Mariposa Temperance Alliance on the prosecution, and can only say that the ‘ representations are entirely untrue. Mr. ‘Parks’ counsel did emu-examine the 1witness at almost tedious length. True, ithe magistrate refused to permit certain questions which were improper; that‘ happens at any aid. The Methodist: ministers were where they had a perfect} right to be, not as close to the magistrate as I was myself, and they never spoke to him at all. As regards one of them being closeted with the magistrate, both gentle- men reierred to and the magistrate absolutely deny it. I at once wrote the attorney-general and asked why I, or some person connected with the prosecu- tion, had not been consulted with, and why the case had been allowed to go by default, especially considering the grave charges made against the magistrate and respectable ministers, without giving them an opportunity of defending them- selves, and that the fact of his not opposing it gave color to the truth of the charges, and received the following reply from Deputy Attorney’General Cart- wright : not Parkâ€"s, giif appxtove'ot- tho wxy he was got out. â€"Yoma, etc .

The ashes should be mixed with the bone. The cheese season is now at hand and it is important that our patrons and cheese makers should start right. In order that the Canadian product product will con- tiuue to maintain its high standard of excellence, it: is imperatite that the great- est care must be exercised in every department. We therefore reprint the instructions published by the experimental department at Guelph in the spring of 1897 as follows : 1. Accept nothing but pure, sweet milk. 2. Heat to 86 degress and then make a rennet test. 3. Set the milk when the rennet test; is Lbout 18 seconds, or at: sufficient ripeness so that the curd will “dip” in about two and a half hours. 4. Use sufficient rennet to coagulate the milk in about twenty minubee- This will require from three to four ounce: of standard rennet. (Be sure that your rennet is all right.) 5. Do not cut more than three times. unless the milk is our ripe. Retain plenty of moisture in spring curds for an early market. Our spring cheese are usually too dry and haul}. 7. Dip at the first appearance of acid. If the acid does not show on the hot iron, use the a‘kafl test. Do not [sale the curd in the whey more than three hours. even if the hot: iron indicates “no acid'” I' you test with the alkali, you will find plenty of acid at: the end uf three hours, provided the temperature is kept: up to 98 degreea. The hot Iron is not dweys reliabje gt thls_ point. 10. Salt at the rate of about two pound: to 1,000 pounds of milk and betore the grease runs 000 freely. Allow the etude to stand longer in the salt. You will time save butter he and will not: be troubled with “gt-ea " etude. Meny are sacrific- ing 5 good of butter fat for the nuke of gettLrg e “_ one" cheese. W6.

The writer heard of a case this spring where cheese were made on Saturday and shipped the following Tuesday. Such a practice cannot be too strongly condemned. Don’t do it. no matter what the pressure from salesmen. buyers or patrons, who may be anxious to secure the advantage of the present high price. The reputation of Canadian cheese is at stake. I repeat, don’t do it. 13. To sum up : in order to obtain fot, meaty, quick-curing cheese, which will be fit to eat in about one month after making, use plenty of good rennet; leave sufficient moisture in the curd ; salt lightly; keep the temperature of the curing room up to 70 degrees, night and day ; and keep the cheese in the curing room tor at lent two weeks. In conclusion, take a little trouble to inform patrons as to the best methods of caring for milk. Do not send milk home without first try ing to remedy the trouble. Pay a. vislt to each patron at least once a. year. Keep the factory clean and tidy. To FACTORY waxmâ€"Pleue see that the factory is in good repair before com- mencing the season’s work. Have ell holes in the fl or made good. Look over the vats, presses. hoops, eto.. carefully and put: them in good shape for the maker. Tidy the yards and approaches to the factory.

Take a pride in sending a large quantity of the beat quality of milk that your section can secure. Strain and aerate the milk wall. Deliver it at the factory every day. if possible. There la always more loss of fat in making up mlllr two or thme days old. The maker is also ”rely to be troubled with greasy cards and other things which Wm give him difiiQQEty in making fine cheese.
