stearine Fats Are Bound tn Predominant
In Strippcrs' Milk.
The professional Instructors in but.
termaking have had time of it in ex.
planning why q certain creamery is
troubled with the body of it's butter
the commission firm saying that the
body is short and brittle and crumbles
badly in retailing. One says there is
too much water in it, one says it was
worked too cold, one questions if the
feed did not do the bad job, etc. 1t is
not easy for the creamery men to get to
the bottom facts in all cases, as they
10 not know how the cows are handled
\ private dairyman finds that feed does
effect the hardness of the butter fats
that warm water bath after washing
the butter will soften it SO it will not
be so brittle, but the main reason for
hard fats and brittle body is the lack
Of fresh COWS. When the shippers are
dried and fresh cows take their place
this trouble disappears. Stearine fats
predominant in shippers milk as
truly as they do when cottonseed is fed,
and more warmth is required to soften
the hard fats in either case, but the
butter cannot be made quite so good
anyhow, as butter from fresh cows
milk.-Rural Life. ....

A Woman Who Found Ono Method Of

At AIMS Mills, u little hamlet near
MELVILLE, Pa, lives Alexander Geese, a
well-kno"Hn farmer and respected citi-
zen. His wife. Sarah Jane Geese, has
reputation as being one of the
heaviest women, if not the heaviest, in
the county. OF recent years, says the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, her
weight has been steadily increasing,
until now she weighs over 300 pounds.
She and her husband have ~ children
and their domestic life has been happy,
but her SIZE has evidently preyed upon
her mind, making her Respondent. One
morning recently she left her home and
proceeded to the banks OF the Como
doguinet creek, q stream about 100 feet
III width, which runs near her home.
She took her position on Gallows bridge
and jumped into the deep stream.
swollen and muddy from the recent
rains, proposing to end her troubles.
She had neglected to consider q sub
ject which has an important bearing on
project such as hers-that of specific
gravity. She was too fat. and despite
her most desperate efforts her body
would not sink. and although she tried
to hold her head under long enough to
drown herself, she did not succeed. Her
heavy body turned over and over. and
finally righting itself, floated peaceful
~ down the stream, with the head on
top. BY this time the woman was near
~ frozen and made no further efforts
to end her life. For three hours her
body fioated calmly on the stream, un-
observed. gradually floating downward
with the current. She was finally dis
covered and rescued,

Variety of Purposes.
Enclosed please find a diagram of q
farmers compass, a little implement
which l find very handy in setting
buildings, squaring up fields, etc. Take
pine board 10 or 20 inches square; lay
Off perfect square and put brad in
each corner. Draw lines diagonally
across SO It's to find the exact center, and
drive brad in it. File sharp. and be
sure they line up exactly. Fasten :,
sharpened stick or post to the board, or
nail the board securely to stake, and
the implement is done.
In this country northwestern Ohio),
where the land is laid off by range or
section, it is easy to run lines at right
angles to the roads. by setting the
compass SO the brads will range with a
given line and by looking across the
other way y have right angle, and
by setting stakes in range you can run
as many angles rs you choose.
The idea is not original with me. !

PIG.FEEDING TESTS.
Results Of Experiments at the Danish E
Deriment Station.

Results Of Experiments at the Danish Ex'
pertinent Station.
The following are the results of sc
series of trials during five years, with
1913 pigs in all, separated into 175 lots,
conducted at the Danish agricultural
experiment station. Whey for pigs
has a greater feeding value, pound for
pound, than turnips. Corn and skim
milk is great stuff to make pigs grow
fast and fat. but the pork is rather soft,
hence substitute barley for the corn
when the pigs weigh 125 pounds, and
the quality of the flesh, if killed at
1S5 pounds weight, will be improved,
and the shrinkage is no larger. Barley
alone gave better results than when
sunflover seed oil cake was substituted
for part of it. One pound of barley
eGualed in pork producing power six
pounds of skim milk or IL pounds OF
whey. Young pigs weighing SO to Is
pounds required 3H pounds of grain
OF its equivalent in milk or whey TO
make one pound increase; at $50 to zoo
pounds, about five pounds was needed,
and old hogs weighing over 200 pounds
consumed to 6Ha pounds of grain
for each pound of increase in weight.
The animals ate but slightly more in
winter than in summer, but it required
nearly half u pound more grain feed
Tor one pound of grain in winter than
liz summer. There was no marked diff
ference between the food required per
pound of grain in light and heavy feed
ing. Nor was there any difference
between the rate or cost of grain in
barroWs or sows.

A very grateful mother IL Mrs. A. L.
for the wonderful cure which her daughter

daughters life has been saved by using Pink
Pills, thanks to q kind friend who recon.
mended them to me.
"Blanche was sick for over three years.
She had the care Of the best physicians pro-
durable, and no expense or trouble was
spared to give her relief. She was so thin
that she was fairly skin and bones, her d.
gestion was out Of order and she had tho
most awful headaches. We gave up. oil
hope of her recovery. Her long, thin, list
less face made me nearly crazy, and we did
everything in our powerto give her strength
and induce her to take an interest in any
thing.
zone day q friend told me about the Pink
Pills, and Mr.. Hartness went down town
and got three boxes. She had taken about
one box, when, to my amazement, one morn
ing heard her playing on the piano. l
could hardly believe it, for it had been over
year since tho piano had been opened.
"Soon she began to take short rides on
her bicycle. and soon she went singing
around the house, our own happy, hearty
