FACTORY TESTS FOR MILK.
A Bulletin Which Should be in the
Hands of Every Cheese and
Butter Maker.

Butter Maker.
The Agricultural Experiment station
Of the University of Wisconsin has
recently issued an illustrated bulletin
entitled ''Factory Tests for Milk" "
This bulletin treats Of the various tests
used in studying milk, laying especial
emphasis on what is known as the
Wisconsin curd test, a method for de-
tecting tainted or poor milk, devised
by our Experiment station. By means
of this test the factory operator can
readily determine which patron or
patrons, if any, are bringing poor or
tainted milk to the factory, and by re-
jecting such milk be in position to
make good cheese, or to improve the
quality of butter produced, if it is a
creamery.
An instance Of the value of this test
was recently reported. In one factory
in our state the maker was unable to
produce good cheese for reasons which
seemed beyond his control Applying
the Wisconsin curd test he soon found
that twenty-five Of the patrons were
bringing good milk, while from six
farms the milk was tainted. When
matters had progressed thus far the
maker placed all the good milk in one
vat and the bad milk from the six
farms in a second vat, turning each TO
cheese. The cheese from the bad lot
was worthless, while the other lot was
first-class in every respect. The oper-
ator estimates that the bad milk from
the six farms had cost his factory $15
a day for some weeks.
Factory operators wishing to learn
more about this curd test and other
tests should apply for Bulletin 67, Fac
tory Tests for Milk addressing Agri-
cultural Experiment station, Madison,
Wis.
Every operator should attend the
Dairy school at Madison in order to
learn how to properly operate the Bah
cock test, the acid cream test, the new
Wisconsin curd test, as well as receiv-
ing instruction relative to separators,
dairy machinery, etc. The next term
OF the Dairy school opens November
%. Professor Henry writes US that
already large number of applications
have been received from cheese factory
and creamery operators who are
planning TO take the course next
| winter. More than 800 young men
who have been trained at our Dairy
school are now operating factories in
Wisconsin, and many find employ
ment in other states. Last year the
regents Of the university reduced
the fees to students of the state so
that now they are merely nominal
An illustrated circular describing the
instruction at the Dairy school will be

gorged every year. On the contrary.
it is as exact reproduction as it is:
possible to see of life in the wild west,
when Buffalo Bill was in his zenith as
trapper, scout, Indian fighter and
guide. He has gathered about him a
band of Indians that are the real thing,
taken from government reservations
by permission of the Department Of
the Interior. He has cowboys that
have spent a great many years punch
ing cattle and riding bucking broncos.
He has the only herd of buffaloes to be
found this side of the Rockies. With
these, who do in the arena, in the
presence of the Eastern audience, the
things which they did on the frontier.
he gives a picture of life in the West,
which is well worth seeing, and is an
education as we'll as an entertainment.

mode of travel, their attack upon
stages and cabins, their wild and dar-

Edward Wiensten was bound over for
trial before the circuit court on a
charge of horse stealing. Bail was

Laabs, of Lebanon, and District At
torney Wigdale appeared for the state
Wiensten claims to hail from Milwau-
kee. Last fair day, July II, he
figured in partly negotiated horse
trade with Mr.. Laabs, but before the
deal was closed, it is claimed, caused
the latter's horse to be driven out OF
the city. Wiensten returned the same
evening and was arrested. He had
an accomplice in the deal named Fred
Ligen, but he made good his escape.

FORGERY THE CHARGE,
Joseph Reinehr VIII Have to Answer
Before the Bar of Justice.

Joseph Reinehr, up to a short time
ago a reputable coal and wood dealer
of this city, was arraigned il Justice
Henze's court Friday morning on the
charge Of forgery. His preliminary
examination was set for tomorrow
and his bail bond fixed at $500, which
he was unable to furnish.
The serious crime with which Mr.,
Reinehr is charged is alleged to have
been committed in this city some six
weeks ago, when, tits said, presented
a note for 5000, bearing the signature
of j. 2. Herzog, at the Merchants bank
and received the money on it. The
note was dated May "a, 1898, and was
to run thirty days, at the expiration
of which time, as is customary, the
supposed maker of the note was mott
fed. AIR. Herzog claimed he had
never signed the note and that it was
forgery.
The day following--June 25-Rein-
chr disappeared from the city and
succeeded in keeping his Whereabouts
a secret until a few days before bis
arrest, when some more of his trans
actions in the vicinity of Junction
City became known to the authorities
here. Thereupon a criminal warrant
was sworn out for him by w. d.
Sproesser. president of the Merchants
bank, and Chief of Police Block start
ed in search on the noon train Thurs
day. Not knowing exactly where
to locate his man, the chief, after
passing Portage, kept a close watch
at all stations and his vigilence was
finally rewarded at New Lisbon by es-
plying Reinehr on The depot platform.
The arrest promptly followed and
Chief Block returned with his prisoner
on the night train.
Mr.. Reinehr, previous to this affair,
bore a good reputation here and en-
joyed a wide acquaintance, although
he had had trouble in the conduct of his
business and had met with reverses
owing to having poor accounts on his
books. His disappearance and the
subsequent gossip coupling his name
with several crooked transactions be-
side the one explicitly charged, have
caused great surprise and regret among
his friends.

The case has been pending for two

time the parties accuse the lawyers of
prolonging the case in order to in
crease the attorney fees. In this
