From Farmers Review Since the
number of hand separators has in
creased at home diaries. creamery but
ter-makers have occasion to test a
considerable number of cream samples,
and this has been the source of a
great many inquiries during the past
few months in regard to cream test
ing. Evidently factories are now re-
eeiving great deal more cream from
their patrons than has formerly been
the case. A request was recently
made for "a rule for testing fat in
cream when testing By weight" In
replying to this it is well TO make
plain the foundation for such a rule.
Three things should be remembered
First, that the sp. or. of butter fat is
assumed to be o.9. i. e, If one volume
of water weighs / then the same vol
ume of butter fat weighs 0.s Second.
the space occupied by l per cent on
the neck of a Babcock milk test bottle
or on a cream test bottle should be
exactly 0.2 C. C. Third, is grams or
milk or cream must be placed in a
test bottle in order to read the result
directly from the scale on the neck.
From these three factors, rule for
calculating the test of certain weight
OF cream is easily constructed Ii 5
grams of cream are weighed into a
test bottle, 10 c. c. of water added to
1t and the test completed IN the same
way that sample OF milk would be
tested, the fat in the neck of the test
bottle may fill space of 6 per cent,
I his figure does not mean that the
cream contained only 8 per cent fat
but the butter-maker wants TO know
from these figures how much the cream
actually did test. This he can reason
out about as follows: II one per cent
space measures OF c. c. and the sp.
or. Of butter fat is 0.s. then one per
cent spaces weighs 0.9xe.2 equals is
grams. The butter fat OF the test IL
was found filled space OF 6 per cent.
and this multiplied by is gives Los
grams of fat which must have come
from the . grams of cream originally
weighed into the test bottle. All that
1T is necessary 10 do now is 10 find
what per cent the Los or. of fat is OF
the or. of cream (1.0Sx1O0) divided by
equals ZIG per cent, which is the test
Of the cream. From this demonstra-
ton the following rule may be formed:
To find the test OF weighed quantity
Of cream multiply the fat reading by
IL and divide the product BY the
amount OF cream weighed into the
test bottle.

bound for Philadelphia. A lion was in
possession. freed from his cage. slaugh-
tsring chickens by wholesale. Con-
luctor and brakemen kept as far away
~ their duties would permit Half
dozen Hagenbeck's men were gathered
In the caboose. gloomily wondering
what they could do to restore the mon
ster to confinement When the train
stopped here for water they were at
their wits eLd. Many OF the inhabit-
ants foeked to the station to listen, at

that ragged in the express car There
was a continuous futte-ins and
screeming-the historical distress of
4 bArnyard-punctuatsd by one crash
after another as the big brute destroyed
the poultry crates around him, amid
vibrant rosrs that sent the crowd
staggering backward. No one dared to
enter the car. The animal trainers in
the eaboose were only too thankful TO
be divided from their charge by stout
wooden walls. Accustomed as they
were to subdue wild beasts, they real
ICED that this lion, which had glutted
himself on living prey, would rend any
man who approached him. Through
grating in the side of the car thN
could see him from time TO time. his
muzzle stained with blood and bristl-
Ing with feathers. All about him lay
the mutilated bodies of birds he lad
seized without devouring them. The
survivors flew hither and thither fran
ideally, sometimes hitting the roof and
dropping back again to the floor. None
Of those responsible for the lions safe
keeping could imagine how he had
broken from his cage. but 1t was easy
to conceive he had been maddened by
the heat and darkness and iolting OF
railway travelling. aggravated as Il
must have been by the sound and smell
OF life in the crates all about him. It
was agreed that the only thing to do
was to continue the journey to Phila-
6elphia with all possible speed, and
there take steps at leisure to either
capture or kill the bloodthirsty animal.
And so the train rumblsd on with the
lion in possession.

A correspondent of the Farmers Re-

necessary adjunct to large proper
ton of farms. especially dairy farms
Various styles of silo are constructed
but a very simple staye silo within
the means of almost anyone is de-
scrioed by the Virginia Experiment

marked on the ground and covered
with short pieces OF plank. Four
pieces OF plank 16 feet long, 6 inches

On end on the circle at equal intervals
These are held in an upright position
by braces in various directions. An
iron band is placed about / foot from
the bottom of the silo and held In po-
sition by nails driven into the plank
and bent up and over the band. A Sec
ond band is placed about foot from
the top. The rest of the slaves are
then set in place. nail being driven

bands will go around the silo. Rivet
to the ends of these bands short pieces
OF iron one-half inch thick by inches
wide. Turn up 3 inches OF this thick
iron and punch three-fourths inch holes
in the turned-up portion. For each
band procure two bolts a foot long
and three-fourths inch In diameter.
Have threads cut on bolts nearly the
entire length. and place these bolts
through the holes in upturned ends:
put on nuts and tighten the silo. These
are stronger. cheaper and easier to
work than the round bands, and con-
