Pure Iron ValueleSa.

Strange rs it may seem, remarks a
writer on metallolds, chemically pure
iron is of no use to the manufacturer.
it being the impurities in iron which
make it the most valuable and impor-
tant of metals. These impurities are
raetalloids, and of particular interest to
the foundryman are such metalloids
as carbon, silicon, manganese, sulphur,
phosphorus, and good foundry pig
iron should contain from 1925 to 3.5 per
cent. of carbon, from 3 to 3.25 per cent.
of silicon and from to Is per cent. OF
manganese, though the phosphorus
may run as high as per cent, but sui
phur not to exceed .O5 per cent. The
blast furnace that supplies the pig iron
to the foundryman is supposed to an
alyze it's iron, and the foundryman, if
he carries on his operations accord
ing to modern practices, orders iron
with reference to carbon, silicon and
manganese suited to the nature of the
metal it is desired to put into the cast

KEROSENE EMULSION.
An Excellent Formula for the Compost
ton of This Insccticide.

An Excellent Formula for the Compost
tion of This Insccticide.
kerosene oil has a greater range of
usefulness than any other one insecti-
eide. 1t is not poison, but kills by
contact. 1t is very penetrating fluid
and causes almost instant death. But
since it kills plants as we'll as insects
it cannot be used alone, but has to be
mixed with some substance that dilutes
it without impairing it's value as an in
secticide. A number of methods are
known in which this may bc done. One
of the best is the Hubbard formula"
which is given below:
kerosene, two gallons, 67 per cent.
Common soap, or whale-oil soap, one
half pound, 80 per cent. Water, one
gallon"
Heat the solution of soap and add it
boiling hot to the kerosene. Churn the
mixture by means of a force pump and
spray muzzle for five or ten minutes.
The emulsion, if perfect, forms Il cream
which thickens on cooling, and should
adhere without oiliness to the surface
of glass. Dilute before using one part
of the emulsion with nine parts Of
water. The above formula gives three
gallons of emulsion and makes, when
diluted, 80 gallons of wash. This
emulsion is an excellent one when the
water is used soft. There are several
formulas.-Farner's Voice.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

First-class butter, if sold in the right
way, always brings a profit, but low
grade rarely ever pays the cost of pro-
duction.
The first requisite in profitable but
ter making is to have the right kind of
cows-those that produce the largest
amount of butter fat at the least ex-
pense.
There is no such thing as keeping
milk pure and sweet in dirty milk YES
sells. They must be frequently scalded
and we'll dried. Cold water won't clean
milk vessels.-Journal of Agriculture.
The North Carolina experiment sta
ton proposes plan for buying and SELL
ing cows. The rule is to pay for the COW
at the rate of SIP per gallon of milk
given per day that is rich enough to
show 81. per cent. of fat. To this price
add or substract one dollar for every
one-fourth of one per cent. By this rule
a COW is bought entirely on her merits.

Antecedents of the Turnip.

For Beans and Peas

II the soil is rich in readily available
nitrogen, the probability is that Il crop
of beans and peas would gather but
little of that element from the air, but
would use what was already at hand in
the soil. If the sol! is very poor in nitro
gen it may be expected that these plants
will gather their supply largely from
other sources than the combined nlao-
Gen of the soil. In general it would ap-
near to be rational to apply no nitro
renous fertilizers to these crops, but .
sunplv an abundance OF both potash
and phosphoric acid.-E. h. Jenkina,

STANDARD OF PURITY.
Tho Ratio of Water in Butter to Be Fixed
by Law in England.

Tho Ratio of Water in Butter to he Fixed
by Law in England.
There has been in the analysis of but
ter in England considerable variation in
the standard of purity because of the
greater or lesser percentage of water.
An application has been made to the
authorities there to fixsome standard so
that it could be uniform throughout the
whole kingdom. Some considerable
correspondence and discussion was had
with the local authorities by commit
tee appointed by the butter dealers, and
the conclusion was that if the standard
OF purity was not sufficiently defined, it
was the business of the association to
approach Somerset house with re-
quest for national standard, and if
that did not remedy the evil, to talk it
to the house of congress. This proves
this fact: there is variation in the the
amount OF water in various buffers, and
that oftentimes with very high stand
ard OF quality, dealers were liable to a
penalty when they were entirely limo
cent OF any intention of handling goods
that were not up to the standard.
IN this country the standard has not
oeen fixed by law, but custom has fixed
IT at from IL to Is per cont. of water
IN high-grade butter. Above Is per
cent. it would hardly be considered of
nigh grade, and below ~ per cent.
would be too dry for the ordinary re-
qulements of our best markets.-.Elgin
