How MUCH MILK TO A POUND OF But
TER.-Haying asked several of my older
friends in the same business as myself, the
above question, and not being able to obtain
very satisfactory answers, found myself
compelled to solve it alone. The course of
reasoning pursued was, that fair answer
could only be obtained from a comparison of
the product of a large number of cows, and
that it would not do to base an answer Upon
the doings of one COW or even one dairy,
though large one. / obtained a report Of
seven butter factories in New York, repre-
senting 108, ,873 pounds of butter per annum
from over 800 cows from these found that
a careful average showed that one pound of
butter required twenty-three and one half
pounds of milk: 1t was also evident that
either there was a difference in the quality of
the milk furnished to the different factories,
or else in the perfection of the plan pursued
by each one in separating the butter, for
these averages varied from tw enty pounds of
milk at the Davis factory, Herkimer county,
to twenty-five at the Berry factory, at Ma
lone. Although not properly in place, may
state that the average price of the 208,873
pounds of butter was thirty and one quarter
cents per pound. $780, In anl'o-
The Davis factory is essentially a cheese fac
tory, but by an accident to their boiler, they
were compelled to convert one days delivery
of milk into butter; this amounted to 1000
pounds, and to the surprise of those engaged
in the mandatory, made 200 pounds of but
ter. The Keller factory reports an average
of 20a pounds Of milk to each pound Of but
ter. The Engil factory reports one pound Of
butter from twelve quarts, wine measure, of
milk. Experiments with my own dairy of 20
cows, during last month, has convinced me
that one pound Of butter from % pounds OF
milk is fair average, and yet could select
individual cows from my dairy whose average
would require much less milk. .rs.t.
1t is but reasonable to suppose that, other
things being equal, it will require more milk
to make pound of butter in June than in
December; that the same comparison will
hold good with regard to the milk of a fresh
COW, and one nearly dry; and also with COW
kept on dry fodder and meal, and one fed al
together upon green clover, though have
not found green corn to decrease the average
of butter in anything like the proportion that
good clover pasture will.-Journal Of the
Farm. t}i i.H' III tiAt

Heavy Verdict Against the Rtna Life.
Tho Now Yorl, Wo,Jd hos tba r.u.

In the New York supreme court, circuit
before Mr.. Justice Barrett, Mrs. Ruth M
Dean sued the Ktna Life Insurance compsny
of Hartford on two policies taken out by her
late husband Henry Dean for her benefit fs
$4,000 and $4,000 in 1866. The policies
were participatory policies, and the premium
payable on Sept. 20 was to be paid one-hslf
haS Il. I'Sn ~. ana one-eaf in a note. The policy
woat .ne usual clause of fCrfeiture in case Of
nreroi 1rro Ui punetuality in the payment of the
MID ir1 ~ e Inc premium of 1869 was not
pau. pau on !he 10Th of September. and tbe com
pJ T TIt'nileu tnat the policy was thus forfeit
or hafnro tha on., however, claimed that ON
oi peiole 1ne zotn OF September an ,oree-
ment was made between Mr. az asive
general agent OF the COMPANY and NJ sne
that the payment should be deferred I'M N Dean
Der o, and even then that only one-fonrth rs
the cash halt should be paid in cash and tha n.
other three-iourths be taken in notes Al thir,
ty, sixty and ninety days. There was con-
siderable conflicting evidence as to wbetbar
such an agreement was made, and this wa,
the main question of facts in the case. On
Monday, Nov. 5th, the money was offered
and refused. hl I1ao
Henry Dean died Nov. 10th, and according
to the testimony of the plaintiffs witnessed
application was made to the general agent for
blanks on which to prepare proofs of loss, and
ii ese were refused: that proofs OF death were
tlen maQe up as tney D6SI cOulu De and ta-
ken to the general agent, who refused to re-
ceiye them, and said they must be sent to
the president of the company; that they were
sent by mail to Hartford, and that the agent
subsequently admitted that they had been re-
ceived. This the agent and the company
both denied, and the want of proofs of death
was their second ground of defense.
The court charged that the general agent
OF an insurance company could not revive a
lapsed policy, and that therefore, if no agree
men such as claimed was made till after Sep
temDer, 30, 1869, it would, if made, be inval-
ld' But he charged that it was within the
powers OF general agent, before the policy
was forfeited, to make any arrangement or
agreement as to the terms and manner of
payment. Ii therefore such an agreement as
was set up was made on or before the goth of
September it was valid and the policy was not
forfeited. As to proofs of loss he charged
that there was evidence from which the iur
could infer that they reached the company.
He further charged that If they found for the
plaintiffs on these points they would give a
verdict for the amount of policy and interest,
deducting the cash rendered but not received
on the 9Th of November, and the notes to the
company which matured before ninety days
after the proofs of death, The jury found
verdict for plaintiff for 81, 1928, to which
the court added an extra allowance to coun-
sci of $500. Mr.. Choate for plaintiff, ex-
