Goes In For Sterilizing.

Mr.. G. i. Lawson of Grinnell based
his arguments in favor of sterilizingmiIk
and cream upon the two facts that sour
ing of milk is due to bacteria, and that
heat will kill the bacteria. As to the
method, he said it should be heated in
open pans and constantly stirred so it
will not have a cooked taste. He thinks
milk would be much improved by run
ming it through separator without
Dreaming 1t, the object being to purge
out impurities. He showed IA method by
which creamerymen can run private
milkmen out of the business, or rather
absorb their business as they do that of
the home churner. 1t is by sterilizing
milk and shipping it to the city market.
The cows can be MIXED i'll the morn
ing, the milk taken to the creamery and
sterilized before noon and shipped next
morning. This would take that trade
out of the hands of private dairymen,
the creamery doing the work 10y whole
sale.
In sterilizing cream equally marked
advantages are gained. One quart of
sterilized cream is worth two quarts of
unsterilized cream for the manufacture
ers of ice cream. Ice cream makers say
that it "swells' III making up. Cream
is better for this purpose when "a hours
old than when fresh, and he has kept it
from Tuesday until Friday and found it
in prime condition.
Butter made from sterilized cream has
brought him cent pound above the
highest quotations. He sent some to the
Worlds fair and it scored as follows:
Flavor, ~; grain, %; color ID; sailing,
10; package, 3; total, 91-beng three
points off in flavor, otherwise perfect
This is convincing proof that sterilizing
does not hurt the grain nor destroy the
flavor, for it was still marked high.
Mr.. Lawson's paper called attention to
the fact that starter must always be
added to sterilized cream to ripen it, as
the bacteria have been destroyed by the
heat. He is satisfied that thousands of
dollars would be added TO the value Of
Iowa butter by sterilizing cream

DEXTER AND HIS DAM.

Jonathan Hawkins that the mare Clara,

also that he (Hawkins) sold Dexter to
George b. Alley. etc, etc. Will Mr.. II.

For my part | think he is mistaken i'm
both his statements. have always
understood that Clara was foaled in 1852,
four years later, and also that the we'll
known hOrseman, James Jacks, purchas-
ed Dexter from the elder Mr.. Hawkins
for the sum of $500, and in few days,
in conversation with George b. Alley,
told him what he did, but that he had
not taken the colt yet, and that if Alley
wanted him he could have him for $50
more, because he was so wild that he
(Jacks) didn't care to break him. Mr..
Alley i'm Q moment handed Jacks tie $50,
Jacks telling him to pay Hawkins the
remainder, $500, for the colt, which he
(Alley) agreed to do. Subsequently
when Alley came for the colt and offered
Hawkins the $500. saying that he bought
him from Jacks, MI. IL. would not let
him have him because lie did not
know him and he had no order from
Jacks. Mr.. Alley had to go back to New
York and get an order from Mr. Jacks
ere he could get Dexter. This was in
the fall of 1871, in DeXter's three-year-
old form. This is the true history Of the
sale of the famous Dexter. MI.

GUERNSEY COW PURITY.

oped. Guernsey enthusiasts would not
of course admit that their pets have any
defects at all, but they can at least learn
what defects other people think the COWS
have. The stocknan and dairyman de-
clares that Guernsey cows lack vitality.
Next. they have defective udders, one
sided, with crooked teats or teats too
small and difficult to get the milk out of.
The udder is sometimes not large enough.
Finally, they do not give as much milk
as they ought to. considering how large
they are. But, on the other hand. Guern-
sey enthusiasts declare that they make
excellent, sizeable beeves. Perhaps that
is the reason they do not give such IA
quantity of milk.
At any rate, whatever the defects
in the Guernsey breed, these defects
can every one be bred out of them,
as the defects of the Jersey breed have
been. 1t has been suggested that an adj
mixture of Ayrshire blood would be
beneficial. Even 10 years would do
much in that direction, when under
taken with intelligence and zeal Here
is an admirable field for the enterprise
of some rich man who would help Amer
lean farmers and dairymen and win en-
viable fame for himself, as eX-Nice Pres
ident Morton is doing. AT any rate
again, whatever the defects of the Guern-
seys, they do not seem to be shared by
the COW Purity, shown in the illustra-
ton. Purity was one Of the premium
best five COWS at the Worlds far and is
a New York Guernsey.

This horse was known as Engllsh's
Sam. and went by that name until lac
fell into the hands of n Mr. Merring,
whose property he died. aud was there
after known as Mornings Blue Bull.
Blue Bull was kept for several years by
Mr.. Dorrel, aud sometime along in the
early sixties fell INTO the hands of James
Wilson, Rushville, lno., where he gained
all of his nOtOriety aud where he died.
Before Mr.. Dorre let him go he pac, d
and won several good races with him,
aud he says he does not believe there
ever was faster horse than little Sam
(Blue Bulb was when in condition.
In his younger days he was very
handsome horse. resembling very much,
as st. Louis breeder says who knew
and bred to him, fine thoroughbred
name indicated. While he has no
authenticated record he has paced miles
much below ,; 30, and that many years
ago, before a number of people.
In conversation with a Rush county
man not many months ago the subject
of Blue Bull came up. and he stated that
he saw him pace mile over poor track
under saddle in , III and 90 halves right
close to a minute, and tins with IA brolsen
knee. That he possessed rich breeding
there can not be any doubt, or he would
not have produced as he did. "A short
time since while at Aurora, Ind, and
in conversation with DR.. Sale and Mr..
Giegoldt, some new light was thrown on
the breeding of the dam of this great
horse. They both said that they could
take any one to a brother of the man
who sold the dam of Blue Bull to Elijah
Stone, and that he could and would
furnish the evidence showing that she
was by Young Selim, son of imp. TruX-
ton out of a mare by Snip Nose. son of
Medoc, the best son of American Eclipse,
and she out of a mare that back in the
late thirties and early forties ran races
and was very successful. They also
said that the dam of Englishs Sam, the
sire of Blue Bull, was by Cadmus
Uron's), the sire of old Pocahontas
2:l73 and that it was so published when
the horse made seasons there.
The breeding of the dam of Blue Bull
as given by these men starts out the
same as that given by the Register, but
instead of stopping as it does with :he
first dam they continue to give more
information for the next two dams.
However, it does not matter now what
his breeding is, he has done what no
other horse has yet been able to approx
mate with the same obscure opportuni-
ties, while scores of others bred in the
purple and with "kings' advantage"
There should be no doubt in the minds
of the most enlightened and experienced
horsemen that he is by far greater
horse than Pilot Jr. for with poorer
opportunities he has many times more
in the list, more producing dams and
many more sons that are good sires.
If from mares with no known breed
ing. inferior in looks, and possessing
no action whatever, and at a time when
tracks were not much better than a road,
and in the hands of poor men, he could
climb SO high on the ladder of fame,

trons of this advanced period:- Western

SPEED CONCENTRATIONS.

The question has often been asked if
the trotter has really advanced in speed
or if modern tracks and appliances are
not responsible for the wholesale reduc
ton of records made this season. \ few
statistics gathered from the year books
of 1885, 1856 and 1887 (the only ones in
which was published separate list of
new ,: 80 rerformers), and compared
with the 30 list as it appeared in the
last issue of the Review may throw some
light on the subject.
In 1885 go newcomers entered the
2 80 trotting list, of which five took rec
Ords of , 20 or better; in 1856 BOG enter
ed, and only one went below , 20, while
in 1887 359 came in. of which seven took
marks of , 20 or better. Consequently.
the first year in which year book was
published one out of every 81 went in
2 20 or better; the next season one out
of BOG, and in 1887, literally figuring,
one out of fifty-nine. Last week the
names of 1910 new 80 trotters were
published in the Review, of which sixty
nine had records of 20 or better-a
general average of one i'll eighteen.
Thus it becomes at once apparent that
the general speed average of the trotting
horse has greatly increased, aud also the
fact that the age for maturing has been
shortened, for in 1885 bnt one three
year-old beat , 20, in 1856 none and the
next season but three. whereas this year
up to the present week thirteen three
year-olds and two two-year-olds have
trotted in 20 or better.
But the question whether the trotter
has really increased in speed remains I'M
answered. At the close of 1850 the best
trotting record for mile was 2:0S3 at
the present day it is , :04, an apparent
gain of Il seconds. When, however, the
advantage resulting from the use of "A
bicycle sulky is considered, the two rec
ords come very close together. The
generally accepted idea concerning this
invention is that it is from three to five
seconds faster than the old style vehicle.
nut lle mites OF lJIectun ana Nix
hitched to the high-wheeled rig incline
one to the belief that there is greater
difference. Truly. both attempts were
made under the most unfavorable cir
cumstances, yet the greatness of the fail
ures furnishes much food for thought.
Estimating the difference between the
two vehicles at five seconds makes the
performance of Maud ;. the better one.
and her record, made in 1850, the appar-
emf limit of speed,
In fact, it cannot truthiully be said
that the American trotter has increased
in speed, but that the speedy trotter has
become more general, Speed is concen-
trating. The , 80 list Is already a thing
of the past, the , 30 list is rapidly be-
coming burden, and the :l5 table the
real guage of merit. The year book i'm
ITS present form is certainly doomed. \
reduction in the standard limit will have
to be made within a few years, yet be-
fore this takes place one great wrong
should he righted. All performances
made to the old style of vehicle should
be given an allowance of five seconds in
order to place them on a par with the
"bike" records of today Clark's Horse
Review.

A WORLDS FAIR GUERNSEY.

In This Dairy Breed.

In This Dairy Breed.
1t was often said during the Column
bian exposition that if half the attention
had previously been paid to the Guern-
sey cows that the Jerseys have been re-
ceiving for the past 90 years in America,
the Guernseys would have made grand
showing at the fair, and the Jerseys
would not have had things so much their
own way. Very well, then, there are
more worlds fairs. There are county
fairs and state fairs every year. If the
Guernsey breeders think their cows bet
ter than the Jerseys, then let them go in
and develop the red and white Channel
island COW for all there is in her.

looked into the matter says the Guern-
seys as breed have certain defects,

SECRETARY CARLISLE is probably doing
the hardest work of his life. while the
president and most of the other members
CT the cabinet are seeking the recreation
they earnrd by their hard work during the
long session of congress. 1t is the admin
istratiou of the new tariff law that is keep
ing Secretary Carlisle in Washington and
working him so hard. Every hour brings
kilograms stating questions that must be
submitted to the secretary before being
answered and every mail adds its quota.
Few of these complications are important
to the general public. although they are
very important to individuals and must be
carefully Strengthened ont as the secre-
tary's decision will set a precedent which
may involve the gain or loss of thousands
of dollars to the government. Probably
the most important decision that
Secretary Carlisle was called upon to
give was that stopping the payment of
the sugar bounty on the day the new law
went into effect regardless of when the
application for the bounty WAS made. This
decision principally effects the beet sugar
makers, who claim that they should be
paid the bounty upon all sugar made be-
fore the repeal of the bounty law went in
to effect. and who are making strong
efforts to get Secretary Carlisle to change
his Interpretation of the law, although it
also catches this years crop of maple
sugar. Upon this decision will depend
whether about $4,000 remains in the
treasury or is paid out to the sugar people.
