Professor Il. II. Cox, formerly state
geologist of Indiana, and who for many
years past has made study of the phos-
phatc beds Of Florida, is credited in Nee
hans Monthly with showing conclusive
ly the fallacy OF the prevailing belief that
phosphate beds have resulted from shcll
deposits. He says that, with the evidence
before us of causes now in action that
produced the immense deposits of guano
on the islands off the ruinlcss coast Of
Chic and Peru, the islands Of the Garth
bean sea and elsewhere where the drop
pings Of nunberlcss birds are converted
into guano, both pulverant and rock qua
no, it is rot necessary to construct
strange thu ries to account for the phos
phatc dcpc is in Florida. Unlike Peru,
the climate here was humid and washed
out of the guano the soluble salts leaving
the insoluble phosphate of lime.
The isolation of the deposits, their oc-
currence in detached pockets of greater or
less extent, rs well as the conformabilfty
of the phosphate rock to the very jagged
surface of the limestone on which it rests,
all point to the bird origin as guano.

Though time and climatic influence have

Denmark Diaries.

So carefully are germs avoided in the
diaries of Denmark that the celebrated
butter of the country, much of which is
sent to England, is washed when necessary
IN water that has been boiled The but
ter is, however, rarely washed but is first
worked over by hand by girls who are
scrupulously clean, and afterward finished
by machinery. This butter, which is made
with the greatest care from milk that IL
strained through flannel and afterward
filtered through clean gravel, is white in
color when finished and is artiflcially col
ored. 1t is very little sailed when used at
home, but more or less salt is added when
1t Is sent as far as England. 1t is said to
retain its fine quality when shipped better
shan any butter known. AS an incentive
to furnish only pure milk, the owners Of
the cows are under contract to notify the
buyers at once If there is any sickness in
their herd. The milk is then bought from
them and paid for at the usual price, but
it is thrown away-Philadelphi Ledger.

1t is the custom Of the Wisconsin sta
ton to require of students of the dairy de.
partment who are candidates for certifi-
Gates to report certain data from cheese
factories Three hundred and forty
such reports were received The amount
of milk handled was on a very /brt ad
scale. The results of these trials con-
firmed the others Six classiications of
milk running under 8 \ per cent fat for
the first group up to over 4 per cent for
the last group were made We notice that
there was a slight decline in the amount
of cheese as the per cent of fat increased.
This would be expected. because as fat in
creases in cheese the casein does not in
crease in like ratio, which will account
for like decline in cheese per pound of
fat without assuming that as the fat in
creas5s the waste in whey increas 5. The
amount of cheese made from milk CON
tanning less than 3 = per cent OF rat was :. 9
pounds; for over - per cent 2 1 pounds.
The amount made for several months per
hundred pounds of milk increased for sue
ceeding months.
Thus for April it was 9.15 pounds.
while for November it was 10 "a pounds.
This is easily accounted for as the per
cent Of fat in milk increased as the
period of lactation increased. The per
cent of fat in the milk for April was 3 rs,
milk as COWS approached the close of
lactation, produced more cheese than
at an earlier period DR.. Babcock con-
cludes that DR.. Van Sykes basis OF
estimating cheese from the fat of milk is
substantially correct.

New Uses For Paper Pulp.

New uses for paper pulp come to light
every day. Paper boots, shoes, stockings
and even bricks for use in building houses
are already things concerning which the
element of novelty has disappeared. Now,
according to The Paper Mill, an English
man is building houses out Of broad slabs
made of paper or pulp used in much the
same manner as is corrugated iron or
boarding, and he is roofing his houses and
finishing them inside with the same ma
terial This is a paper age indeed.

Farm Notes.

In the presentation Of the science of
swine feeding to Missouri swine
breeders association, Levi Chubbuck, In
speaking Of corn meal and skim milk,
said: Let US take another popular pig
food-skim milk: Examining its chemi
cal composition we find that of the diges-
tible nutrients it has for one pound Of the
flesh formers only / 8 pounds Of the other
class, not nearly enough CT the latter
Here We have two popular pig foods, one
OF which has too great IA proportion OF one
class of nutrients aud the other too small.
Why not combine them? Happy thought.
Let US see how it will work One hun
dred pounds Of skim milk has of nutri-
cnts: Albuminoids (ncsh formcrs)
pounds, and of carbohydrates 0at and
lean producers) and their equivalents In
fats, Ell pounds. Twenty pounds of corn
meal has of the two classes of digestible
nutrients named 1853 pounds of flesh
formers and 1926 of fat and heat makers.
The 100 pounds of milk and meal will fur
nish then 5.13 pounds of digestible flesh
formers and 2l.97 pounds of fat and heat
producers, which is one pound Of the
former to about f.. pounds of the latter,
exactly the proportion in which these two
| classes of nutrients are found in whole
milk-our model as a perfect food fot
young animals. As the pig increases il
size and weight by the development OF
bone and muscle, the proportion of fai
formers in its food should be increased,
and this we can accomplish by increasing
the proportion of corn meal to that OF
milk, SO that when the pig weighs say 1Gt
pounds we may feed 100 pounds of mill
with 80 pounds of meal or the ungrounc
corn. Combined in this proportion The
nutritve ratio will be about to g. which
is very good for pig at the beginning
the fattcning period, when the actua
business of pork making is supposed t.
begin.
