C. c. Clarke, of the big Clarke distilling
concern of Peoria, ILL.,, is in the city at
the request of the Industrial Commission
and will testify on whisky trust matters
before the Commission tomorrow. He is
at the Shoreham. Mr.. Clarke was formerly
the head of a whisky firm in the old dis
tillers trust. and is thoroughly informed
on all the history and present methods of
that organization and the present one,
which is the outgrowth OF the old concern.
1t is not understood that he is inimical TO
the trust plan of organization, although he
was crowded out of business by the forma
tion of the trust, and is now the head of
an independent and opposition concern.
Mr.. Clarke said last night. in discussing
the present whisky combination: THE
two great corporations, the Standard Dis
tillery Company, and the American Spirits
Manufacturing Company, control 70 per
cent of the spirit distilleries in the coun-
try. They are separate corporations, but
under one control. and thus virtually one
organization. They are now reaching out
to organize the Kentucky Distillery Com
pany, and also have options on and will
probably combine all the Pennsylvania and
Maryland distilleries under the name CT the
Eastern Rye Whisky Distilling Company.
When these organizations have been
formed the combination will control 10 per
cent of the alcohol and also of the fine
whisky output of America. The old Dis
tllers' and Cattle Feeders trust was one
of the first and also one of the last of the
actual trust organizations. 1t was declared
unlawful and forced to go out of business.
The American Spirits Manufacturing Com
pany was its successor. 1t was organized
as corporation, however. and not as a
trust. But the purposes are all accom-
plished in the new way as well as in the
old"

The feed and treatment OF sows.
writes A. N. Springer in Land and A
Living, have much to do with the ex-
tent of their profitable period. AT no
time should they have an all corn ra-
ton, but it should be supplemented
by milk, bran, slop, grass, etc. corn

1t is the only thing they get. A SOW

sionally, is not in fit condition TOT Tar

to be feyerish and the unnatural cra'-

If they live will never give the owner
much pleasure, pride or pront. Inc
remedy is to feed plenty of heterogeneous
foods. A rye patch makes excellent
green. pasture for hogs in winter.
Lacking this and other grass or root
crops, then feed plenty of bran q
shorts in slop. A liberal variety is the
key TO success.
Shotes. too, UP to within a month or

to sell hogs is when they are fat. re-
CARELESS of prices. Some are even now
selling half fatted stuff. Ask them why
and they say: THE corn is worth more
than the hogs" To sell a half-fatted
hog is not business unless there Is a
weightier reason than that of price TO
be considered. Good shelter for all
hogs at this time of year is an impera-
tive necessity. A bunch OF hogs sleep
ing in the farm corner and s~quealing
as only a cold pig can squeal does not
make pleasant music to one who likes
to feel that his stock is warm n well
fed. Especially are dry, warm quarters
desirable for a SOW and pigs. A coid
pig is a dissatisfied pig, and a dissatis-
fed pig will not eat as it should.
A thoroughbred or a good grade OF
hogs should always be kept. The thor
oughbreds are the most profit HE. n
they are so low that it looks like a
piece of foolishness to do without
them. II you are skeptical, get a
thoroughbred male and cross on your
"elm peelers'' and see IL you do not
have the best bunch OF pigs you ever
owned. A little better than scrub care
must be awarded them. Our motto

any late ones to cut of. Some vari-
cites of strawberries have the habit OF
bearing the next years crop only on
the early runners, and IL these early

Babcock Test In Cheese Factories.

"'soNn So IN Sneese FACTORIES.
To the Farmers Review: A cheese
factory patron writes as follows: do
shippers that test Sc give more cheese
stun than milk that tests 3.6. Our
factory sells cheese price and pays
fat price. They pay s1.35 for milk that
tests SO and 50 cents for milk that
tests 3.6:' From these figures 1t can
be shown that very nearly the same
price per pound OF butter fat was paid
for the SO per cent fat or shippers
milk as for that which tests SO per
cent fat. If s1.35 was paid for 100
pounds OF milk testing Sc per cent
fat then l pound OF this fat was worth
sl.S5 divided by Sc which is % 1-3
cents and 100 pounds of 3.6 per cent
milk at 50 cents figured in the same
way gives % As cents as the value of
one pound of fat. Approximately the
same price for n pound of fat was
paid in each case but the richer milk
contained 2 per cent more fat in every
100 pounds than SO cent milk and was
consequently worth SO cents per hun
dred pounds more to the factory. 1t
has been found that in average sum-
mer conditions. / pound OF fat will
make about az pounds Of uncured
cheese, or &c pounds of cured cheese;
an application of these figures to these
two cases shows that the Sc per cent
milk would make, per 100 pounds,
about 14.5 pounds OF cured cheese,
while the same amount of SO per cent
milk would give only 9.3 pounds. Rich
milk makes more and a better quality
of cheese than thin milk and il is a
good plan for all cheese factories to
sell at cheese prices and pay the pat
rons the same price por pound of fat
as shown by the Babcock test.
