The value of the tester over that of any other method of determining the butter element in milk lies in the fact that it's results are exact, while those of other methods are only indicative or ap- proxfmate. Fat is butter; while cream is mixture of fat and other elements, from which the butter must be separated by chnrning. Cream, too, varies as much in it's composition as the different quali- ties of milk from which it is taken. No definite standard of value can be estab- lished for it. There are so many condi- tions which affect this sensitive product, that it cannot be truly said "cream is cream," though the incorrect statement is often quoted, and sometimes believed. The tester has nothing to do with these conditions, and so escapes their modify ing and uncertain influence. It's work is to find and collect and measure the one element of butter fat.

 And though the body slumbers here,
 The soul is sate in Heaven.-[Written by his mother.

George E. Newell tells the Cultivator that the farmers who keep their cows most cleanly bedded are those who are the most thorough with the use of strain CTS, but we had rather drink their milk before straining than some milk after it had been strained d dozen times. II touch upon this subject because so many times l have seen patrons bring their first mess of milk of the season to the factory liberally spiced with black bits of excre- ment. In apology, have had them say, ''As soon as I get around to it. will rig mp a strainer and strain my milk" can only say, observe even common cleanli- ness before you ever draw your milk of from the farm. If it requires preparat- ion to do this, make it now.

The social evil is difficult matter to handle. There is a large difference of honest opinion on the subject. When you say that human nature is human nature, you tell the whole story. But there can be no difference of opinion whether or not these places should be levied upon by q set of public officials, who fatten on the profits they squeeze out of them and, in return, see that they are not raided. There you have something to complain off New York Herald.
