variety of ways. Our observations
show that any reagent, whether acid
or alkaline, which has slight solvent
action upon casein, will cause curd to
string upon a hot iron. The effect Of
such a reagent is to convert the curd
into a more or less plastic condition in
which the particles adhere readily to

capable of converting Curd into this

dominate, but often others which have

is evident from this that the determi-

Meaning of Hot Iron Tests.

"Of what value is this test? No
cheesemaker probably is ignorant of
this process OF testing the acidity and
condition of the curd. We give DR. S.
M. Babcock's explanation in full as
showing the condition of the curd nee
saTy to secure a fine texture:
The hot iron test, which is used by
all cheesemalZers to determine the con
dition of curds, is made by touching a
lump of curd from which the whey
has been removed as much as possible
by pressing i'll the hand to a piece of
iron heated to nearly redness. Under
certain conditions curd will adhere to
this iron and when pulled away will be
drawn out in fine threads. The length
of these threads are supposed to be
proportional to the acidity Of the curd,
and is taken as q measure of this;
hence curds are said to have one-fourth
or one inch of acid, according as the
threads are one-fourth or one inch long.
A large number Of tests of acidity in
connection with hot iron tests have
shown that no definite rela6ipl exists
between them, although it may be said
that long strings are usually associated
with high acid. 1t may be clearly
shown that the length of the string is
not alone dependent upon the amount
of acid present by adding little borsix.

of soda, all of which have an alkaline
reaction, to sweeten curds which do not
adhere to the hot iron, when they will

Dairy Notes.

A gallon of milk weighs eleven
pounds.
When the cows have been long in
milk the churning becomes more diff
cult.
Divide the pasture into two or more
lots, and you will gain in food and

The $4,000 creamery at Nashville,
ILL.,, was consumed by fire the night Of
Aug. 5. insured for $4,000.
A good dairy cow should be trained
to stand quietly in milking, SO that the
mixer can readily use both hands.
1t is less work to wash the butter

granular form, and it can be done
very effectively.
Once in a full year should be consid-
cred often enough for mixer to bear
a calf, and for younger COWS once in
fourteen to sixteen months.
How have you got the best results
from your milk? Sending to the facto-
~, making butter at home or ped
ding to local customers?
Let one person dc the milking, if pos
sible. Cows get used to a mixer, and
almost invariably 'hold up" their milk
when a new mixer comes. Too fire.

Practice and chemistry agree that
good clover hay is the best roughness
that can be used in the dairy; but re-
member that poor clover hay is Door

tumbled about too much when it is
dry.
Don't hire, at any price, man who
has a bad temper; he will ruin your
COWS. Don't hire one who is lot a
good mixer; he will dry off your cows.
Don't employ man or boy who is not
willing to learn to carry out your in

The leaves of turnips are objection

CHAPTER XXI.
HnnnS oreI FnnKsS

It so happened that for the evening
on which occurred the events related
in our last chapter-an evening which
is still proceeding, being the one on
which Tony has promised that he
would make clear his brothers inno-
cence-it so happened, we say, that for
this evening Sir Loghlen O'Meara had,
several days before, sent invitations to
a few of his most particular friends.
Those invitations having been given,
could not, by any possibility, be with
drawn; and it was doubtful, even, if
the baronet had felt any desire to
countermand them, since he had been
brought to believe that that which be-
fore had seemed to him as most I'M
likely-almoSt impossible, indeed-was
neither more nor less than a fact, and
Sydney was innocent.
He had proved himself a stern judge,
without mercy for the son whom he be-
lieved guilty, while he would have
given the world for but a hope that
the unhappy young mans innocence
might yet be made apparent.
And now, i'll his heart, he did believe
that Sydney was innocent.
He had read truth in every accent Of
that heartrending appeal which his son
had made to him; he had read truth
in Tony'S bold, unf1inching eye, in his
earnest manner, and in his confident
bearing.
Tony's holiness, the Baronet had rec
ognized was not the bravado Of a man
seeking to throw aside condemning
proof; but was the noble daring of one
who had faith in just and holy cause.
But the evidence which weighed most
of all with the Baronet was furnished
by his nephew.
Stanley Claremont's looks and man
ner, contrasted with those of the broth
er's, condemned him in the eyes Of the
oaronet; and, indeed, the man would
have been a poor physiognomist who,

CHAPTER XXIIT.
Love and Honor.

While the baronet and his niece mad
been wondering that Stanley Clare
mont was still absent from the man
sion, that gentleman was in reality
shut up within his own rooms.
He had stolen unperceiyed into the
house, and, lacking the courage yet to
encounter his uncle and his uncle's
guests, had hidden himself, as we have
said.
He had thrown himself into a chair
to await the coming of his accomplice.
Abraham Mailer had said five
minutes" they passed, and Abraham
had not arrived.
A quarter of an hour-half an hour
flew by, and Abraham came not; and
pale and trembling, and almost crazed
with fear was Stanley Claremont.
Again and again he started from his
chair, only again and again to throw
himself back therein in despair and
terror.
Every instant he drew forth and
looked at his Watch-eyery instant he
listened, believing that he heard the
sound of Abraham's approaching step,
each time to be disappointed, and to
sink back, moaning with the agony of
his baffled hopes.
At one moment he felt assured that
his accomplice had betrayed him, and
would not be there at all; the next in
slant he felt equally certain that not
willingly had Abraham delayed to fol-
low, as he had promised that he would
do.
Yes, Abraham's cupidity was safe
guarantee for his integrity to his pres
ent employer!
Tony Drummond had, perhaps,
crossed the peddler's path, might have
sought to tempt, but was far too poor
to purchase him!
Then came the thought that Abra-
ham might have been arrested, and in
dliced, by promise Of immunity to
himself, to say where was hidden that
aIl-important leaf
But Abraham had said that the leaf
was concealed in one of Stanley'S own
apartments.
And Stanley strove to refect-to con-
slider, for his brain was in a whirl-his
mind in a tempest.
On leaping from the window the ped
der would have found himself in the
garden, and, seeking a way by which
he might escape, he would come to one
of the doors Of the apartment in which
Stanley now was "a door which
opened OH to the garden, and which
was very often left Enclosed.
Yes, in this room in which he sat at
this time Tuning and raving, was hid
den that torn leaf of the jewelers. sale
book. Stanley had not the slightest
doubt of that!
Could he but secure that leaf, Abra-
ham come or stay away, just as it
should please him best.
Stanley would search!
He embraced with one rapid glance
the whole apartment, and then again
drew forth his watch.
1t lacked but quarter of an hour to
midnight.
Would he have time to hunt through
out the capacious room?
He would be stayed for by his uncle
and the rest!
They would seek him out where he
then was!
And. besides, who could say that he
might not pass twenty times near the
desired object, without his heart throl5-
bling more precipitately to warn him
that it was within his reach?
And then another, and a terrible
thought came to Stanley.

Constituents of MIX.

DR.. c. M. Altman, writing on the
subject of the chemistry of milk, i'll an
English journal, says:
The chief constituents Of milk consist
of water, albuminous bodies, butter
fat-milk-sugar, and mineral matter. Of
course, the most interesting, from a
chemical point of view, are the albu-
minoids, which form 2.5 to ID per
cent With regard to the nature Of
these aIbuminoids more discussion has
taken place than with regard to all
other constituents of milk. Some, like
the eminent French investigator Du-
claux, have held that there is only one
albuminoid substance in milk. This
theory, however, seems to be At Yarl-
ance with the behavior of milk when
treated with certain rea gents. Indeed,
it seems to be highly probable that
there are three different albuminoids
present in milk, viz: Casein, lactal-
bumin and globulin. Of these, caseln
is present in much the largest proper
ton, and forms about 80 per cent or
the total nitrogenous matter.
The next Interesting problem which
presents Itself is as to the condition in
winch THESE dlDuIul1OlOS dIC p1CSChC'
Casein is characterized by the presence
in it of a substance called nuclein,
body not found in alblmen; it is also
rich in phosphorus. By itself it is
body insoluble in water, and acts as
an acid, since along with bases it forms
salts. 1t strongly resists the action OF
pepsin solutions. 1t compounds with
such substances as potash, soda and
lime as are soluble bodies. The old be-
lief with regard to the state OF the al
buminoids in milk was to the effect
that they were present as potassium
albumenate. This view, however, is
no longer held. 1t is now known that
the casein, which, as we have men
toned, forms over 80 per cent of the
nitroyenous or albuminoid matter OF
the milk, is in combination with lime.
In this condition it is soluble in water.
More correctly speaking, it forms with
water a bulky coiloidal Tor glue-like)
substance. If we filter milk through
porous clay cells this body will not
pass through. The rest Of the alou-
minoids are Ill true solutiOn-thlt is,
they pass through porous clay cells.
