One of the rocks on which many a
creamery is wrecked is the 'dissatisfac-
ton of patrons with their tests. Those
who have charge of the work of testing
should take the utmost precaution to see
that it is done right. The bottles should
be properly Celebrated and sealed, the
acid should be of the right strength, the
speed of the whirling should be suffi-
GENTLY high, and no point shsuld be
omitted that tends to get correct results
Any other policy is not only dishonest,
but very short-sighted, for it is certain
to make trouble. A butter maker may
think he is doing a smart thing and MAX
ing himself useful and valuable to his
employer by having an unduly large
oVer-run, but a greater mistake was
never made, for one by one patrons will
drop off, and the supply of milk will be-
come too small to manufacture profit
ably, and the first thing the owner of the
creamery knows he will have to shut
down. A creamery that has been shut
down, because patrons became disSatis-
fed with the returns they received, is
pretty hard to open up again. When the
hnnnrnnC 6xad hot
cheats him, he is hard to reconcile.-lowa

Michigan dairyman, who had been in
the habit of buying fresh cows to replace
those dried off, commenced to keep an
account with each COW, and the first year
he found that after charging each with
her cost of food, and crediting her with
what she produced, there was wide diff
ference in the cows. One cow gave
profit of only So per year, while another
gave a profit of $41. Following out this
policy he has changed the whole charac-
ter of his herd, and today he finds that
two cows pay him as well as three did
previous to his northumberland 5

There are plenty of people who tell us
what nice, clean thing oleomargarine
Is We have lately been shown some mi
c1cscope slides made from oleo- pur-
chased In the open market in the regular
way. Under the microscope they show
the oleo to be filled with all sorts of
spores, shreds of, animal tissue organic a.
uons such as are commonly found in the
putrefying animal matter, and, in short
regular menagerie, compared with
which the "wiggles' usually found in
stagnant water are inviting. If we were
to eat a piece of bread spread with mar
garine now, the fact would haunt our
dreams for week.-Iowa Homestead.
