THE cREAMoMErER
Not Always Reliable, Bat Recommended |
because IL Is Very simple.


A very simple test and one which,
although not altogether reliable, Is bet
ter than none, is the Judgment Of milk
by the amount of cream II will show.
This is not an accurate test, because
IL may fail to show cream when IL should
or 1t may show more than IL ought; how
ever, it will not show cream IL there
is none in the milk. With two samples
of milk having the same amount of fat
different results may appear with this
test, as the proportion of the fat glo-
bules which rise depends somewhat on
the age of the milk and the way it was
handled before delivery. If fat globules
have much difficulty in rising, only a
small part of them will get to the top
and they may carry mp with them so
much of the other constituents that
there will be a large bulk of poor cream.
When the test is carefully conducted
and conditions are favorable to The rise
of cream, fair results can usually be
obtained. This test requires a long,
graduated glass tube Zig. 81, which is
filed with milk to the zero mark and
allowed to stand in a cool place fer 20
to "a hours. The cream is aided in ris-
ing by warming the milk TO 100 degrees
Fahrenheit and then setting it, in the
tube, in cold water, or the tube may be
filed half full of milk and the re-
mainder with warm water, which raises
the temperature and reduces the Wis
costly; in such case only half as much
cream will appear as the milk is to be
given credit for; for example, if the con-
tents Of glass are half water and show
ten per cent. cream upon the scale, this
means, of course. 20 per cent. of the
milk. If the milk is the same each day
and is tested in the same way, there
should be little difference in the cream

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
Almost Every Individual Is Interested In
Their Maintenance.

Lnoh maintenance.
Every individual in this country who
owns a horse or bicycle has an active,
living, personal interest in good roads,
says the New York Ledger, but the
apathy with which many of them re-
gard the subject is only another eX-
ample of how "use doth work habit
in a man." At present many roads are
in a frightful condition because of the
narrow tires that cut up and grind
out the country thorOughfares. Prop
erty owners shrink responsibility be-
cause it takes money, to improve the
highways, and, many of them are so
given to procrastination that they can-
not bring themselves to take anything
in hand that demands immediate at
tention. In addition 90 this. most of
their wheels have narrow tires, which
In itself is quite enough to paralyze
some at least OF the efforts toward re-
form. There IL no more urgent need in
this country than strict attention 70
the eandltion of the roads, for a smooth,
hard surface means larger loads, great
er ease for .rhe team and much comfort
for the driver. Bad roads, are expensive
and annoying, and the only wonder Is
that communities are not sufficiently
alive to their own interests to pnt the

Vocal Fiahes.

DIR. Dufosse, the eminent zoologist,
has been for two years engaged in max
ing observations on the vocal powers OF
certain species and varieties of the So
called singing fishes" He has devoted
the principal portion of this time to the
gurnards and the dories. He states that
the sounds produced by those fishes are
produced by vibration of the muscles
belonging TO the air bladder, and large
gurnards may be heard at n distance of
six or eight yards. 1t was found that
the sounds emitted were instantaneous
or prolonged for several minutes, some
times as long as quarter of TN hour.
The pitch often varied during a single
"sonoTous emission" The finest vocal
performers among the fishes belong
to the species called morrude. which, IL

"A simple Arrangement That Keeps Fruit

The apple harvest brings up the sub

country this year, and prices will be
likely to rule low-for the first part Of
