CONCEPT I?* AID OF THE CHURCH OF uNGLAND BUILDING FUND. In consequence of the large attendance expected, the cor.ceri was held in the schoolroom instead of the Oddfellow'e Hall, «w advertised, and indeed, there were more people, than tha former building could properly accommodate. The two anterooms were occupied by ro*ny gentlemen who could not find even standing room in the body of Ihe school room. On the *ta£;e there were twenty two members of tjie Harmonic Society and eixtecn of the Heed Band, making over thirl} performers. 'I 1 ? e first p : nce on the programme was «th- Bells of Sfc Michael's Towei" by the H&rmonic Society, which was loudly apiiittudert. Then followed n song by ' Sir Will«u,.hny,- 'The Arab's Furewell to bis Steed.' A solo on the clarionet wos then pluyrd by .Mr Mackintosh, cal ed 'No one ' o Lore' this was executed with his usual ability and toste. This w.is followed by a solo from Mrs Mack iu tosh, ' The Shi o* boy V Letter,' which was receiver) with loud applause. The next was a March by the Cambridge and Waika'ti> Kted Bond, which whs the debut of ' that institution, and considering the short i time since'it was imiugurated, their playing . was a . most agreeable surprise to every' one. Too much credit cannot be '*" gCVp.n to the conductor "*or the efficient »- and speedy manner in which he has" drawn ; out the musical ttdentof the district, a :<'< to th«* members of the Reed Band for the pai staking ;>nd enthusiastic manner in which they must hive practised, both individually at- home and collectively at the Ban I Horn. The appreciation of Iho audience was shown by an ' encore' being demanded, which was responded (o bv thti band giving a ' Poke;' A comic aong by Mr Hector followed, and after that a song by Mr Blike, called ' Love on,' which 9eemed to be highly appreciated by the audience. A trio called '• Ye Lordly Gallant's was then sung by Mrs Mackintosh Messrs Willou.wb.by and Blake. A chorus, 'The Vl ay Fty/ by the Harmonic Society closed tlie first part of the programme. Tbe second part after a short interval, opened with another chorus by the same Society ' The Red Cross Knight. A clarionet solo by Mr Mackintosh followed, entitled the ' Swiss Boy.' Mr Willoughby then sang 'Tlie Village Blacksmith' with his u«ual success. Miss Gerrans appeared next with ' JRing out Wild Belle, which was one of the best solos of tbe evening. Another chorus bv the Harmonic Society followed, called 'Sinoe first I saw your face.' A comic song by Mr Hector followed. Another eolo by'Mra Mackintosh * Miliy's Faith' came on next. This was succeeded by u gallop by the band, which was executed with much precision and taste. A sjng ' Happy returns of the day' was eung by Mr Blake, followed by the last piece of the programme, a chorus by the Harmonic Society, 'From Oboron in Fairly Land.' This difficult piece was ' executed extremely well, in fact it was the best of the clioru.-es throughout the evening, and reflects great credit on both conductor and members. a vote of thanks on behalf of the Par6ona.se Building Committee having been accorded with the usuul and well merited compliments, ' God Save the Queen' was sung, and the oudionoe dispersed, expressin tlieirg cut au pit the who'e enteitait metit, which ou the authority of com | e en t jmipes h»s been pronounced .the best prH<j>med and mobt Bticce*rful concert hfld i«. «he Waikato.

MltK.^Thia was a aubj ct of •>» »ißOi»ur>iP by *T" Ballautyne, M.P., <»/ Sfi-atforl, Ontario. Tnc first requwit.*, be Bi.il, in making cleese is to bare the milk at the heßinniug of the process iu prop, r or.ier. (Jlenaila should all be properly oleanojci and scalded, and oleanliiu-s< over looked. In the first part of tho season chee«b should be made with reference to early maturity— the earlier tbe better. In bis practice this is accomplished by a free use of renoet, using enough (o coagulate a curd hard enough to cut m 25 or 30 minutes. Tho beat should be applied very gradually and tbe whey drawn upon the slightest approach to acidity, tho ourd allowed to pack on the bottom «••£ tbe vat, and the Cnedder process followed and litile salt (If pounds to 1000 pounds of milk) ueed, and the curd curded in an oven temperature of 75 decrees. As the summer advawces he uses less rennett and more salt -2^ pounds to 1000 pounriß of milk and cures at 65 70 degrees in an even heat, the even temperature being regarded as a matter of great consequftnee. In summer the milk may stand forty minutes after applying rennet before the cuid is fit to cut. Careful stirrirg of tbe curd is very important, so that none of it should become hotter than the rest by falling to the bottom of the vat. Unequal heating of tho curd while cooking is a commen cause of strong cheese. An hour to an hour and a half may be employed in gradually and evenly raising the curd to blood heat, stirring it all the while. During the tuuuner ; months he advised drawing the whey j early as the best moans of wardiog off the effects of imperfect milk and making a cheese that will stand up well against the neat. In lollowing the Cheddai process, spring and fall, great care should be taken not to let the curd get too cold. He laid great stress upon four agencies, viz., heat, rennet, salt, and acid. He deprecated the use of upper rooms for curing cheese. Lower rooms are better, and can be kept four or five decrees lower. He is nob in favour of making cheese from new milk. It will not make tb<> best quality of cheese, It should have a eerlain degree of to produce the beßt results. Mr Ballantyne was listened to with much interest, Ma noteworthy success as a cheese-maker giving especial force to his remarks. — 'Town and Country. 1 Ail hew Houses ehould be fitted up with the slf-actng ROLLER BLIND of the Age.
