Per cent

The fat seldom rises above sc per
cent and seldom falls to 50 per cent.
For these reasons it is convenient to
reckon .S5 of pound Of fat as equiva-
lent to a pound Of butter, and these fig
ures can be very closely approXimated
in factory work, for though there is
some loss of fat i'll both buttermilk and
skimnilk this will be counterbalanced
by a percentage of fat in the butter
somewhat less than 50. This patron de-
livers 700 pounds of milk per week,
with an average test of per cent. The
milk, therefore, contains 2S pounds Of
fat, equivalent, ON the basis mentioned,
to 80. 81 pounds Of butter.
1t seems to me, however, that it is
entirely unnecessary to reckon the fat
as butter i'll making dividends in cream
! cries on the test system. 1t is much
more satisfactory to pay for the fat
| simply as fat, OF, in other words, to di-
vide the net proceeds by the number OF
pounds of fat delivered to get the
amount due the patron per pound of
fat If it is attempted to calculate the
fat delivered into an equivalent amount
of butter, there will always be a dis
crepancy between the amount of butter
SO calculated and the amount actually
made, no matter what basis is adopted.
This discrepancy will vary from day
to day as the losses in separating and
Churning vary and as the percentage OF
fat in the butter varies. 2. There
should be no difference between cream
cry and dairy butter if both are made
under similar conditions. Creamery
butter is made to go on the market fresi
and to contain moro water than dairy
butter, which in central New York II

NentilaIinP Cow Stables.

No more important question can en-
gage the attention of the builder of a
cow stable than that of ventilation.
What is needed is just sufficient air for
health and comfort-that is, enough for
health and not enough to carry away
too much warm air. The closeness with
which the cows may be put into sta
BILE very much depends upon the rapid
ty with which the air is changed.
While it is q safe rule to give each COW
one cubic foot Of air space to each pound
of live weight, no one would claim this
to be sufficient We're the stable alright
or anywhere near it. A 1000 pound
COW in a 1000 cubic feet of air space
would breathe that much air i'll ten
hours, and after four hours the air
would become so yitiated as to be dead
| ly to breathe. On the other hand, COWS
may be safely housed in much less air
space if proper facilities be provided for
changing the air often.
With any system of side ventilation,
by windows or registers under the sills,
no matter how careful the attendant
may be, there is constant danger of
SOule COW ldhluB COlu. OH a warm,
murky evening, with little or no winds
the attendant so arranges the ventilator,
as to suit the conditions, but during the
night the wind changes, or blizzard
sets in, and in the morning some COW
will be found to have stood in draft
and to have a severe cold. Roof ventila-
ton is much better and safer and if
properly arranged is much more effec-
tual. The usual trouble with such venti-
lation is that the chutes are not large
enough When no more than foot or
l . inches square inside, the ascending
currents are too weak to carry off the
foul air fast enough, Then the ordi-
nary method of Stating the cupola
above the roof produces no upward cur
rent. AS much air comes in ON the
windward side as can possibly get out
ON the opposite side, and the tendency
is to retard rather than assist the up
ward flow. This is the reason why so
much moisture is often found in the
body of the barn where COWS are stabbed
below. The breath of the animals in
such cases greatly Injuries the hay OF
other forage stored in the barn. Mon
treal Herald.

.'NIan with the Branded Hand"

The person who became famous in the
annals of America as THE Man With
the Branded Hand was a Captain JON
athan Walker. He was born at Ear-
wick, Mass, in 1893, and died at Lake
Harbor, Mich, on April 20, 1878. On
June 30, 1914, he attempted to steal
seven slaves from the coast of Florida,
the intention being to take them to Mas
sau, in the British island of New Provi-
dence. When only short distance out,
he was overtaken and captured by the
sloop Catherine and taken back to Key
West. AT that place he was kept i'll Jail
until he could be removed to Pensacola,
where new trial was given. He was
sentenced to prison and chained by a
chain and ring bolt. He was kept for
some time imprisoned i'll that manner,
or until the time arrived to carry out a
further sentence, which read as follows:
Zone hour in the pillory, pelted with
understandable eggs; one year in prison
for each slave stolen; 5000 in money for
each slave, and all costs, and to be
branded upon the right hand with the
letters S. s.. (slave stealer) by red
hot branding iron"
That he lived through all this is at
tested by the fact that it has only been

The Poet Was Very Careful and Exact n
To His Copy,

The Poet Was Very Careful and Exact rs
to His Copy.
When asked as to his business ac-
uuaintancew with Oliver Wendell Holmes,
Henry o. Houghton said that it began
with the first publication of the first
volume of The Atlantic Monthly, in the
initial number of which the "Autocrat
of the Breakfast Table" was published
in November, 1857
Ellis copy was always written on
common white letter paper in clear
hand and most carefully prepared, with
very few interlineations, and these were
! only put in after the greatest delibera-
ton. He used to bring his copy to the
office himself and would afterward
come and get the proofs, which he most
carefully and painstakingly corrected,
frequently making additional changes
and correction therein when line in
| cold type did not exactly suit him.
"Our firm did not print The Atlantic
in those days. We only stereotyped the
plates but nevertheless we were brought
in contact with the young poet frequent
ly. In fact, he was in the Office every
| few days
"He was very particular about his
copy, and so careful was he as to detail
and the exactness of his facts before let
ting matter go to press that he caused
us very little trouble, and when any
thing was to blame he was far reader
to assume the responsibility than to cen

Still Another Way.

A smooth talking young man gained the
confidence of trusting woman the other
day, and as sometimes happens the young
woman was deceived. Her brother played
silent part, and his bicycle was the cause
of it all. 1t happened in this way;
A number of small boys were playing in
Madison street, Brooklyn, a few days ago,
when they were approached by well
dressed man, who asked them if they knew
any one who owned first class safety BIZ
cycle.
One bright little fellow pointed out a
house and said man there owned one.
The stranger went to the house and asked
to see the mans daughter, but as there was
no daughter his sister went to the door.
The man said he was sent to repair her
brothers wheel, and she showed it to him.
He said it was sadly in need of repair and
that it would be necessary TO take it to the
firms shop. He gave her a receipt, but
after he had departed the young woman be-
came uneasy and went to the bicycle firms
store and asked about the stranger. The
firm knew nothing of him.
The brother and sister are wondering now
whether that $3.50 bicycle will ever return.

Japan Ahead of China.

Japan, in spite Of her mistakes, stands
for light and civilization. Her institu-
tons are enlightened. Her laws, drawn
by European jurists, are equal to the
best we know, and they are justly ad-
ministered. Her punishments are hu-
name. Her scientific and sociological
ideas are our own. China stands for
darkness and savagery. Her science is
ludicrous superstition; her law is bar
barous; her punishments are awful; her
politics are corruption; her ideals are
isolation and stagnation.
In thousands of Yamens throughout
China men are tortured every day, hung
up by the thumbs, forced to kneel upon
chains, beaten with heavy bamboos,
their ankles cracked, their limbs broken.
Every week men are publicly crucified
and hacked to death by the Thousand
cuts" How is anybody to desire the ex-
tension of the sway Of the latter rather
than that of the former without avow-
ing himself partisan of savageryS-

the amount of butter which would be
obtained by the churn. 2. Why should
not creamery butter be as solid and firm
