STRANGE CAVES USED IN CURING FRENCHCHEESE Pure Sheep’s Milk Is Basis for Famous Delicacy * of Roquefort. By Time* Special PARIS, April 18.—American tourists visiting southeastern France often fail to stop at Roquefort, one of the least known, but most interesting communities of France. The quaint, little town, with its 800 'inhabitants, ‘is percueu on a rocky terrace In a high mountainous region. Early historical records how that the district experience* many earthquake shocks which caused a narrow’ valley with hills and curing caves to be formed. Unique atmospheric conditions prevail in these caves. The cifrrent of air, which blows through the caves, is the reverse of one blowing through the chimney of a fireplace, as the air enters at the top of the hills, and goes out at the bottom instead of warmer and lighter as in a house chimney. This unusual aerating system maintains a temperature of 8 degrees Centigrade <46 degrees F.) and currents of fresh, moist air circulate continuously through the caves, thus creating atmospheric conditions, which exist nowhere else in the world. Reach to Antiquity Records of Roquefort cheese manufacture reach back to antiquity. In 1550, the Parliament of Toulouse granted a monopoly for the manufacture of cheese, and a record ofPhilippe I, in 1070, mentions Roquefort cheese as one of the two cheeses in the domain of Frotard de Cornus. Le Chevalier de la Raynarde, commander of Spain, in 1694 wrote to his man-of-aflairs asking him to find some Roquefort which he proposed to offer to "persons of the First Court. - ’ Pure sheep's milk is used in the manufacture of Rocquefort chepse oecause of its extreme richness of butter fat as compared to cow’’s milk. It is the milk richest in casein, cream and certain mineral salts which makes it a product of tremendous food value. Herds of sheep selected for dairying are under the strictest inspection, and severe tests are made at the creameries to insure the purity of the milk delivered by the farmer. Made in 100 Days The cheese itself is manufactured for 100 days from April 29 to Aug. 6. Sheep's milk, because of its high food value, is the main ingredient. To this, enough rennet is added to congeal the milk in one and onehalf to two hours. It then is stirred until the pieces of curd are about the size of peas. After the whey is removed, the curd is further broken by hand, and

‘Stingless Communists ’ May Invade State Soon

BY HERBERT L. CECIL IMPORTATION into Indiana of whole colonies of natives of Russia, despite Communistic tendencies of that country, may develop within the next few months. , And, with gradual elimination of natives of Indiana by the foreigners, cartoonists will lose a fruitful cause of the exaggerated fright often registered by their characters, comedians will lose heretofore ever-present source of comedy "cracks ’ and reckless drivers will lose an alibi. . „ , For the new natives of Russia which Indiana may welcome are "stingless honeybees.”

Frank Wallace, state entomologist, commenting upon announcement by the New Jersey agricultural experiment station that ‘‘stingless’ beekeeping is a reality, today said that if claims for the new species of sweet-producers prove well-founded they probably will be adopted by a number of Indiana beekeepers. "Hot-tempered” Indiana bees, who object to being swatted, sat upon or robbed of their sweets, would be replaced by "good-natured” Caucasion bees if the New Jersey announcement proves correct. According to announcement from the experimental station at New Brunswick, N. J., neither veil, gloves nor smoker has been used in manipulating sixty "good-natured” bee colonies over a period of two years. The colonists produced as much honey as their more irritable cousin, the announcement declares, averaging 90 pounds per colony with a record of 130 pounds for one colony.

The new bees are said to represent the usual varieties in size and appearance except that their bodies, brown, are covered with silver hairs. The new bees are not really ‘‘stingless,” according to information received by Wallace. The worker bees have effective stings and the queen bee also possesses a sting, but they seldom are used except in combat with other bees. “It seems they are better natured. less excitable and less antagonistic toward persons,” Wallace commented. “Perhaps Mama Honeybee says to Baby Honeybee, ‘counte ten before you sting’,” he added with a smile, “accounting for their failure to sting hive robbers or tenders.”

placed in hoops of glazed stoneware, and a culture is added. One part of the culture mold is sufficient for 10,000 parts of the curd. After the whey has drained off, it is placed in the cave where it is rubbed with salt. The fresh cave air works oil the culture mold and the curing process begins. With its development the cheese undergoes distinct changes, and soon tiny "veins of flavor,” a Roquefortian characteristic can be seen. The cheese is pricked from time to time to allow the air to enter, and line the cheese veins with lacy green hangings. It remains in the caves from two to six months, and at the end of the period, is ready for shipment to cheese lovers. The entire production of Roquefort cheese in 1920 was estimated at 11.023.000 pounds.

STRIVE TO COLLECT TAXES IN ADVANCE When Governor Harry G. Leslie returns from a tour of state parks, lie will be asked to indorse a plan to collect taxes from the counties on May 15, instead of waiting until the regular collection date, June 15. This announcement was made today by State Auditor Archie Bobbitt, who pointed out that current expenses of the state are about $1,000,000 more than funds in the state treasury. Approval of the premature collection must be voted by the state finance committee, composed of Leslie, Bobbitt and Mrs. Grace Banta Reynolds, state treasurer. This will be the first advance collection since 1925, Bobbitt said.

Walks Like Man

The only dog in the world that always walks erect, it is believed, is Shep, owned by John Rattigan of near Council Bluffs, la. Caught in a wolf trap, Shep released himself by chewing off both his forelegs. Since then he has taught himself to walk upright and gets along quite well. Humane officers want to kill the dog, but Rattigan refuses.

WOMAN FARMER IS TRYING FOR ACREAGE MARK Hopes to Increase Income to $150,000 Annually; Market Watcher. By SEA Service ALLIANCE, Neb., April 18.— Charlotte E. Worley, known as the biggest woman farmer in the United States, is going to try and break her own record in 1930. She is going to increase her acreage from 3.200 acres to 4,000, and hopes to boost her income to $150,000. Miss Worley has been quietly accumulating land in western Nebraska for the last ten years. Last year she took in $120,000. Miss Worley is a lawyer and teacher by profession, a graduate of Nebraska university. But in 1920, when bankers were going to foreclose on i her mother’s 1,800-acre ranch. Miss Worley gave up teaching and law’, and made a deal with the bankers for a three-year trial on the ranch. The first thing Miss Worley did was to convert the ranch into a farm. “That crazy woman,” old ranchers said. But he; venture was a success tlf very first year and as a result today very little ranching is done hereabouts, formerly the heart of ranch country. Miss Worley gradually in- j creased her acreage until this year'

she expects a *150,000 income from a 4,000-acre farm. She intends to introduce flax and fruit trees in her territory—both unheard-of ventures. In fact, Miss Worley sets the styles for fanning in western Nebraska and she’s been so successful that now her neighbors wait to see what Miss Worley does — then they do likewise. Does Hiring, Firing Around the farm Miss Worley is ‘‘the boss.” She is an honest-to-goodness dirt farmer. She does the hiring and firing, makes the decisions on when to buy and when to sell, and is her own general manager. She works from ten to eighteen hours a day. “Men won’t work for a woman,” the ranchers said when Miss Worley entered farm life. Now men fight for jobs on the Worley farm. Her farm is laid out for com, oats, potatoes, wheat and alfalfa, besides ( pasture for her sixty cattle, eighty i horses and 500 hogs.

something like *60,000 for (this crop last season. She in raising certified seed potatoes and got as high as $2.00 a bushel for this crop. She is a great advocate of educating the farmer instead of giving him financial relief. "Study your markets,” says Miss Worley. "Therein lies the secret of farming—the buying and selling. It's the shrewd buyer and seller who succeeds at farming, not the farmer who works from sun-up till sundown and is then too tired to look at the market page.” CLAIMS OLDEST HEN Nineteen-Year-Old Still Is Excellent Layer of Eggs. NEWMAN. Cal., April 18—Tlie oldest hen in the world is claimed by Ole Stevenson, who owns a ranch | six miles north of here. Her age is 19 and she still is an excellent layer. During 1929 the hen, a Rhode Island Red, laid eggs for seven months w’tihout missing a dav.
