rae PATRIcK MIX TEsT.

1ts Inventor Offers II 10 the People
without Patent.
The Iowa station milk test was repre-
sented by Prof. Patrick, supervising tests,
assisted by State Dairy Commissioner
Topper and Z. W. Wait. the Inter being
assistant chemist OF the laboratory Mt the
experimental staten. To Mr.. Patrick
is due the invention Of the first accurate
milk test In Iowa. which was placed on
exhibition ut Des Moines in 1880. The
original purpose WIS to furnish On accu-
rate test for farmers NE in testing their
cows. but the necessity for such nm ap.
paratus Ia creameries has caused d.
mand for increased capacity.
We believe the present mode. as ex-
hibited 1T the state fair this fall, will do
away with the great objection raised to
Il formerly. as It increases the capacity
materially. "A coil Of steam pipe Ii
placed in the bottom OF an oblong box
lined with zinc and filled with brine,
connected with similar box filed with
water. Since the introduction Of the
brine bath into the oblong boxes with
the steam pipes at the bottom, the opera
tor can commence measuring the milk
into the tubes. then adding the acid, and
after shaking the two together can place
twelve tubes in each rack. thereby plac-
Ing the first filed tubes into boiling
brine. You can then fill the second rack
with tubes. Place the second rack in
beside the third.
When the rack is filed the first one
will be ready to place into the water
bath at 140 degs., and by the time the
fourth rack is filed the tubes in the FIRST
are ready to read. This expedites mat
tiers considerably. the operator being
constantly filling and reading the tests.
Professor Patrick's vigorous and con-
scientious work deserves special praise.
He refuses to take any interest in the
test commercially. but works unseltishly
in behalf Of the state, which is fortunate
in securing so able and honorable man
to serve it.-Creamery Journal.

When in heavy flow a COW ought to be
MIXED three times day to keep her
udder from being injured. But she
should have extra feed when thus giving
such an abnormal quantity Of milk.
Get out Of the rats, brothers. says w.
F. Pack to patrons and creainerymen.
1t has queer look to the eye when a
patron partly SKINS milk before taking
it to the factory
Many farm women have no idea Of the
work they would themselves by
getting a creamer4instead Of washing
dozens Of milk pans in the old fashioned
way o'''q'B''
On valuable land no dairyman can
any longer afford to keep COW whose
milk will not produce A per cent. in but
ter fat
In counties where there are the most
1silos the most prosperous dairy farmers
are always found
A breed Of Holstein butter cows is now
being developed by individuals who
fancy these handsome cattle. OF course,
in time anybody can do anything.
Early dent corn. planted thick one
way with therows far apart enough to
plow between the other waysis an excel
lent fodder feed for dairy cows. When
the corn is in glaze cut the stalks and
cure them in shock. Then bind them in
bundles and put away for winter feed.
In the cold weather cut the stalks with a
power feed cutter and give them to your
cows. 1t will furnish an admirable va,
+. Tiety to the regular diet.

The Autumn Girl.

Inc autumn ulEls
She's left the bounding pillows. and she's COM
ing back to town.
Her mind filed up with visions Of the latest
autumn gown.
The percale shirt and collar, and the necktie
that she wore
We're packed in Saratogas on the day she left
the shore;
And when we see her once again. to all It will
be clear
The Summer girl Mas left us and the Autumn
girl Is here.
From mountain tops, where breezes have
strewed roses on her cheeks.
From lake and grove and river, where the soul
of Nature speaks,
From giddy summer circles. where the wheel
OF fashion rolls,
And Cupid wings his arrows at the gilded
throng that strolls,
She's vanished like vision-as the clouds that
disappear,
The Summer girl has left us and the Autumn
girl is here.
The rocks that front the ocean look deserted
now and bare:
The breezes wander aimlessly In search of yell
low hair:
The cruel waves have sought the sand and
washed her prints away,
And autumn leaves have covered up her nook
of yesterday.
We miss her-yes, we miss her, yet we do not
shed q tear;
The Summer girl has left us but--the Autumn
girl is here.

She has visited the mountains and has drunk

In the cockpit, and looked around

The breeze was fresh and the yacht
bowled along merrily. The farmer had
nothing to say, and after vainly trying
to kid him and finding that he was not

alone to enjoy the sail. After being out

The strong.man mania has subsidized
somewhat, says the Pittsburgh Chron-
iclc-Tclegraph. Three months ago it
was at high tide Scores of opponents
were going about the country on the
museum circuits, the objects of ardent
admiration. They performed various
fcats, some good and some hardly out
of the ordinary. All issued challenges
by the scores, many of them for noto-
riety. or course this kind of business
developed numerous novices. Men who
thought they were strong tried their
hands, and as soon Us they cultivated
the sleight, which it must be admitted
is behind all actions of this kind, they
could accomplish clever feats. Each
