REMARKS by EDITOR.-The best
testers we have ever seen or known
of are the scales and the churn. Weigh
the milk, churn the cream and weigh
the butter. The test tubes for milk
are simply glass tubes with degrees
marked on them, but the per cent of
cream on the same milk will differ
greatly by different setting. Again, the
same amount of cream will vary greatly
in the amount of butter it will produce.
In tests in some creameries where
cream-gathering was practiced the
space of cream, which was taken as the
standard for pound of butter, was
found to vary from eight ounces to
twenty-four ounces of butter in differ
ent herds. Test-tubes can be obtained,
we presume, from Whitman e. Burrill
Little Falls, n. Y, from the Moseley &
Stoddard Manufacturing Company,
Poultney, or the Vermont Farm Ma
chine Company, Bellows Falls, Vt.
We would be very glad to hear from
farmers in Calais or elsewhere on any
tests which they have made, for such
information must be of both interest
and value to our readers, and they have
no need to confine their reports to tests
of milk or butter.

Bismarck as u SwOrdsman.

The chancellor, while a student at
Goettingen. by his skill and strength
gained the reputation OF being a crack
swordsman. it is said that he chal-
lenged two students the very f1rst day
he came to Goettingen, and afterward
defeated both, although they had had
much experience. A very cunning trick
in escaping an attempt made by q
''pedell." a university officer, to break
up fight is credited to Bismarck. When
he was at Jena on a visit, arrangements
were made for him to light a duel at
Woelinitz, a small village. The pc
~dell"-Kahle by name-wasv very much
disliked by the students, as he had
often interrupted their fights. He had
gotten knowledge thereof, and on the
morning fixed for the fight had gone to
Woelinitz and hid himself under a
large barrel used in a brewery. He
hac placed the barrel in such a position
that he could overlook the dueling
place through the bunghole, intending
to. see all the fight and Get the names OF
all the principals. Kahle's presence
was noted, however, by some peasants,
and by Bismarck's suggestion the bar
rel was suddenly curned around so that
the mole stood against the wall. Sew
eral students seated themselves upon
the barrel, and remained there until all
the fights had been finished, when the
| unlucky ''pedell" vas released from his
| prison and heartily laughed at. 1T is
| fact that Bismarck shortly afterwaro
was ordered to leave the city by the
university authorities.

''the ticket seller there is very curt
and sometimes insulting in his treat

traveller. Nobody should be employed
as a ticket seller anywhere who has not
the traits of a gentleman and the ele-

Yesterday saw Mr.. G.. b. Waite, one of the

but the interests of the general public
will not be sacrificed to the wishes of a
