Yonr correspondent has had occasion at various times to sample some of the delicious soft cheeses for sale in th markets of New York city. They were to agreeable to the tasie'that naturally one wanted TO know whether they were really imported, as the names tacked to most of them indicated. I inquired about it and found, not at all to my surprise, that they were made in America within a radius of fifty miles of Sew York city. It to call them fromage Caiuein- bert, de Brie and Kenfehaicl, in order to give them a send off, as. it were, which was a pity, but they were made here and were in most cases betu-r than the imported Sditiples that bore their nauif.

I waited quietly till 1 could get around to it, then paid a journalistic visit to two places where these fine specimens of American industry are produced. I soft cheese factories at Monroe and at Chester, N. Y. i am indebted to the kindness of faetorymen in both places for information which cannot help being valuable to both eh.sw- eaters and cheesemakers elsewhere. A soft cheese is one that is to be eaten cornparatn.

ely fresh. It is not dry ami bard, bur. is simply put into molds drained and turned. Wheu jost to be eaten it is almost or on i teas soft as butter. About eight pounds of milk are required to make one of soft cheese.

From the point of view of a consumer should say skimmilk soft cheese is not worth the trouble of making. To lilt for earing this kind of cheese made at least from whole milk, while a whole creazn soft cheese is enough to finish off the dinner of a saint. This brings me to speak of Star cresui cheese, which is a specialty of one of tne factories visited. It is a purely Yankee invention, and--1 say it with modest pride--neither in Switzerland, Germany or France did I ever taste any cheese so good. If anybody is inclined to dispute my word I merely answer, ''Cheese it." The firm making the Star cream cheese began the soft cheese business in lt.3i.

Upon the walls as yon enter their factory you observe the signs, "So Smoking," "Please Don't Spit on the Floor." On this basis, and on that of perfect cleanliness and care throughout, they began operations. At first they only rnade sixteen to eighteen quarts of milk a day into soft cheeses. Uow they consume 5,000 quarts a day. Last ve-ir they made $140,000 worth of their particular products. They are shortly to start another cheesery in Elgin, Ills.

Their reason for locating ic there is one that tells a whole volume in a few words--they can get richer milk in Elgin. The milk they use at Chester is such as the fanners of Orange, Dutchess and Ulster counties supply to the inhabitants of New York for their daily tion. These farmers are sx hard by the middleman and the freight Curriers that they have utterly sacrifices quality to quantity in the milk they sell. The milk of the cows that the New York market looked to me thiL and blue, from cheap scrub cows, as i- mostly is. For this reason the men wlio make the rich cream cheese take new factory to Illinois.

They have hui. a constant struggle to gel -miIt- rid. enough to make a good soft checte. They would pay more for richer milk they conid get it, but they cannot. The formaia.

used by them in makipg Xeufchatel cheese was obtained from a Frenchman. Tne way the Star cheese came to be made is a. very goo-; story. The firm had been suppljirj: I soft; cheeses to a -well known Xew York i grocer.

The National Leagjue for Good Roads one of the most beneficent organiza- ions in the country. The movement of it has taken charge was very argely promoted, if it was not begun, the efforts qf the wheelmen, who iave done a great deal of public good other ways, and especially by secur- ng a more accurate mapping and a jetter system of guideposts in many parts of the country than prevailed any- before their labors began to bear Tuit, It may be said thas everybody who las paid any attention to the subject is now convinced that good roads pay, and hat there is no more profitable investment for an agricultural community han the firsc cost and the maintenance of highways that are considerably more expensive and immeasurably more remunerative than any that now exist, except in the outskirts of great towns, and hat are very seldom to be found even here. But it -would be a great mistake assume that improvement is certain ecausethe advantage of it is demon- trated. It is 'within bounds to say that the jreat majority of the farmers of the Jnited States never saw a good road and do not know what it is. A road hat is a morass in spring, a Sahara in grimmer, a series of ruts and ridges irozen stiff in late autumn and a slough there is a thaw in the winter to them the normal means of rural omimmication.

If they had known and good roads they would not tolerate the existing roads for a month, but bemuse they do not they will go on acoui- escingin the existing country roads with an apathy that is born of ignorance. The only way to break in upon the apathy is to dispel the ignorance, and hat can be done only by bringing good oads -within the reach of the people of he rural districts, or ac least within heir knowledge, and enabling them to ind out for themselves the difference jetween them and the roads of which hey have grown to regard the defects is incurable. This must be done, under our system, by the states and requires state legislation. If there were, say. ten miles of model roadway in every county in.

the state of Xew York, it is quite certain that within a very few years mis mileage would be multiplied by ten by the efforts of the inhabitants themselves, who -would have come to learn what an enormous saving to them in money and time, as well as what a great advantage in comfort the roads bring to them. The efforts of national and state leagues ought to be devoted to bringing about such legislation in every state. In one state the matter has already become a political issue, for the candidates for the legislature in mine-is have been offi cially interrogated as to their position on the subject. It is nut likely that man of these candidates ha-1 ever given anv thonght to the matter, bat being thc required to take a stand concerning it, nearly ail of them have returned satisfactory answers. This ought to mean thst if a well raatnred bill were presented to tee legislature of Hiinois providing for the construction of model roads, it would be enacted and put into execution.

When thai is accomplished the battle -will have been won, it in the eastern stares that the need of roads is pernaps most urgent. The abandonment of England farms, attributed to wectern competition, would scarcely have been possible if the farms bad been connected by decent roads witb. the market towns or the railroads, one of which ought to be within easy driving distance of every farm in England, and would be so if the roads were wnat they should be. The more eastern agriculture changes from the racing of crops to '-truck fanning" the icore indispensable to it are eaty. built, drained roads that are practicable at all seasons of the York Times.

But Professor Sealer's appreciation of its uses is still higher more comprehensive.

One of the special services performed by the men is to create an interest ia tne bettering of the pnblic roads.
