About the Bill to Abolish the Office
of County superintendent

A bill to abolish the Office of county
superintendent has been introduced
into the Wisconsin Senate by Senator
Whitehead. It's main provisions are
as follows:
l. A state board of supervision is
created. This board shall consist of
the Professor of Pedagogy at the
university, board of examiners for
state certificates and institute conduc-
tors from the Normal schools.
2. SAID board shall have power to
appoint the district inspectors, who are
SO do the duties of the county superin-
Gendent.
8. The state to be divided into lis
inspection districts.
4. Provides that the inspector must
be person of same educational quail
Gieations as are now required of the
county uperintendent; of general
fitness; acquaintance with common
schools, and of experience as teacher.
5. Provides that provisions of this
act do not apply to superintendents
now in Office.
6. This act to go into effect Jan. l,
1901.
According to State Superintendent
Harvey, the advantages of this plan
are:
First. To secure properly qualified
person to supervise the county schools.
an the state of Wisconsin county sup
,orintendents have been elected who
did not know enough to examine set
of third grade papers.
Second. To protect the county
superintendent or inspector in the
faithful performance of his duty Last
fall forty per cent of the superintendent
failed of re election simply because
they would not grant certificates to
unworthy persons. Every time a GER
tificate is refused the superintendent
looses from one to ten votes.
Third. An inspector can give fear
less and efficient service. As it is now
the county superintendent is the only
county officer liable to be turned down
for doing his plain duty.
There are precedents for making the
Office appointive, Instead of elective.
Expert service should be appOintive.
City superintendent are appointed by
boards; so are the chief engineers OF
the water works; the chief teachers in
the Normal schools.
Look at the great number of officials
appointed by the Governor. This
board of eleven leading educators can
certainly be trusted in making appoint
ments of school inspectors.
Deeming it my duty to present the
chief points of this new measure in
order that the readers of this paper
may gain some idea of the proposed
law take pleasure in submitting this
synopsis for their inspection.

Butter Fat In Private Diaries.

Many dairymen are not aware of the
loss there is in butter fat on all farms
where cream is raised by setting in ice
water, cold water or cold air varying
with the season. This loss is likely to be
very large in summer and less in win
ter This loss, carried on year in and
year out, amounts to large sum when
a whole herd is taken into account. The
Kansas experiment station has been en-
deavoring, by three days test of a
private dairy, to determine how much
this loss is. They find that the skim
milk contains from 3 TOT Of per cent
of butter fat, or an average of A of 1
per cent, while the buttermilk tested
l. 1 per cent of butter fat The herd of
five COWS tested showed a loss of 1879
pounds of butter per year lost.in the
skimmilk and 81 pounds lost in the but
termilk, total loss of 100 pounds, or
80 pounds per COW. This, at 90 cents per
pound, the price received from private
customers. means a loss Of Sc. 40 per
COW per annum. The farmer with 90
cows would at this rate save $12S per
year by using farm separator, and we
believe this estimate is not far from
correct

Scales Increase Milk Yield.

T. A. Borman of Navarro, Kan, says
his COWS actually give more milk when
there is a pair of scales hanging in the
barn. At first thought this may appear
ridiculous, but upon little reflection
it is not hard to understand When a
cow gives less milk than usual the rec
ord shows it, and an attempt is made
to discover the cause and remove it. On
The other hand, when the yield is above
normal the causes are searched out and
if possible the same conditions are sup
piled to the rest of the herd. But have
not the time to bother with recording
each cows yield. says some one. Here
experience comes to our aid and tells
us that it takes about 10 seconds to
weigh and record cows yield, or the
milk of five cows can be weighed and
recorded in one minute, and the extra
pains that a mixer will take when keep
ing record will more than pay for the
time. Professor d. III. Otis.

What Attracts Bows.

How to keep boys on the farm is as
much question in the south as in the
north and west Speaking CT this The
Western Agriculturist says: "While
scientific agriculture is an inviting field
for the farmers sons, the highest
achievement is attained by the breeders
of pure bred stock. Note the large num-
Der of public sales the past year where
SO, 200 to $50. 600 worth of surplus
young stock was sold and the breeding
plant retained to keep up the supply of
pedigree stock for the regular annual
sale. All kinds of pure bred stock are in
demand, and nothing will interest the
boys like the pedigree stock that sells at
good prices There is a commercial,
businessike fascination about it that
will interest the boys and keep them on
the farm. Scientific breeding of the in
proved breeds is benefit to the COM
munity, to the state and to the nation
and adds millions of dollars to the
wealth of the country and brings pros
perity to the farm.

AduIteratiOn.

Ernest Mathews writes as follows in
the London Times
During the past few years | have
tested at various agricultural shows
over $50 COWS separately for butter
production by the churn. At every trial
notes were made on the color and quail
ity Of the butter produced, and from
those notes certain conclusions have
forced themselves upon my mind which
would not in ordinary course present
themselves to those who have not been
in the habit of testing their cows in
dividually. One of such conclusions is
that butter made from milk containing
uniformly large fat globules is invari-
ably of deeper color and of finer quality
than that made from milk containing
small and irregular sized fat globules
The natural color of butter is affected
by various causes, such as the season Of
the year and injudicious feeding, but it
will be almost always found that the
paler the butter the poorer the quality.
TO summarize. color and quality Of
butter go hand in hand. To color but
ter artifcially, therefore, is means of
passing off an inferior article, although
1t may not be SO intended by the party
using the coloring material, and On this
ground alone, if the coloring Of butter
and margarine cannot be equally pro-
hibited, at least such colored produce
should be labeled and sold as col
ored.

CAMEMBERT CHEESE.
Anybody Can Now Make This Fa-
NOUS Product.

Anybody Can Now Make This Fa-
NOUS Product.
The Camembert cheese, a we'll known
article in all French hotels and res
taurants, has now begun to find its way
into England, Germany and the Scan
dinavian countries.
The name of this celebrated product
is derived from a village in the depart
ment of Orne, France, where, during
the revolution, woman, Marie Harel
by name, first made it. The method re-
manned a secret until 1913, when the
children of Marie Harel became married
and set up small factories in different
parts of Normandy. At present there
is no secrecy about the Camembert
cheese. It is made in the following
manner:
Immediately after milking, the milk
is set in wooden bucket at temper
allure of from so to SO degrees f. In a
few hours it is SKINNED, whereupon a
proper amount of rennet is added. The
curd is formed after standing six
hours, during which the temperature
should be as nearly 80 degrees E. as
possible, especially at the beginning.
In the home cheese manufacture this is
effected by placing wet cloth over the
bucket.
When curd has been formed. it
should be taken out with skinner
and placed in a cheese mold which
stands on slanting board in order that
the whey can drain off completely. In
two days the cheese will be ready to
leave the form Each loaf is then sailed
thoroughly on all sides, whereupon it
is left thus for fouc days. when the dry
ing begins.
In drying this cheese care should be
taken that it is placed where the breeze
can touch it directly, such as immedi-
ately behind the window screens. It
must rest upon straw mats and be turn
ed day to, day In the course OF
five weeks, when sweating sets in, the
SO called refining begins. This means
that the cheese is placed in dark, dry
cellar without ventilation, and where a
temperature of so degrees f. is kept as
nearly as possible They must be turned
every other day for about a month, and
it is then ready for marketing.
This is the sailed Camembert 1t can
be made without sailing, but in that
case will keep only a short time before
decayiDg.
A good Camembert is quite palatable
But here. as in many other cases. sue
cess lies in the touch with which it is
done j. Christian Bay in Farm and

Creamery Buildings and Outfits.

Creamery buildings may be erected
in which first class butter may be made
for from $500 to $1,000 and equipped
with machinery for handling 1000 to
10000 pounds of milk per day at cost
cf not over 81, 500, or an estimated to-
tai cost of So, 500 at the outside. In
some places $4,000 will establish this
plant. Outside of building, the two
heaviest items of expense are for sepa-
rator and engine and boiler. The very
best separator may be bought for from
$500 to 5000, separating from 1000 to
1850 pounds of milk per hour. An en-
CINE and boiler costing new from $500
to $500 will be necessary. Milk watts
holding 600 gallons of milk may be pur-
chased for $50 or less, cream vat hold
ing 900 gallons for about $50, standard
butter worker for $40, churn about $50,
with many other items in the way of
equipment, mostly in a small way

PROFITABLE, FEEDING.
Double Price For Grain Fed to Dairy
Cows.

Cows.
ANY farmer would be glad to sell his
corn and oats at twice their market val
ne, says The National Stockman, and
while this is not possible in the ordinary
way of marketing it is perfectly feasible
if the grain be fed to good dairy cow.
There are certain conditions necessary
TO insure this, it is true, but they are
not out of the reach of the farmer with
small means. Warm stables, plenty Of
pure water well above freezing tenn
perature, plenty of good wholesome food
and kind treatment are within
the reach Of any one who owns one or
more COWS.
For the first expensive barns are not
necessary Straw stuffed walls are warm
and cheap. There are many wind swept
COW stables in this land with straw &C.
ing to waste in the same yard. Build
ing paper is very cheap, but windproof.
Water from a we'll or spring is a
great deal better than ice water for a
cow to drink The latter chills her
through and through. A COW ought to
drink heartily at least twice day, yet
with few swallows of ice water she
becomes chilled and does not take half
so much of such water as of that Of a
higher temperature
Where cows are watered from an
outdoor tank, tank heater will be
found very wise instrument. 1t will
pay for itself many times over before it
is worn out. All farm animals prefer
water with the chill off, and the milk
cow will give greater quantity OF
milk if this is provided for her Bank
I'D the tank around the outside and
hinge cover to one side, raising this
only long enough for the animals to
drink The warmer the water up to a
certain point the more they will con-
sumo. On a cold winter morning water
of so or 80 degrees will be consumed
with avidity, although 60 degrees is
probably sufficiently warm.
AS to the food, we have found wheat
bran indispensable Not only is it I'M
excelled as milk producer, but it keeps
a cows system in good order, being
cooling and laxative in it's action. To
go with this one may use ground corn
and oats, half and half, the entire ration
being composed Of Qne-half bran, one
fourth cornmeal, one-fourth ground
oats. This ration will appeal to the
general farmer, but bran fed with glu-
ten meal comprises an equally valuable
ration and one not more expensive Ell
