Intent of the Ten Cent Tax.

While all honest men cOncede that
oleo should be sold for what it really
is and for nothing else, q few under
stand that the proposed 10 cent tax is
designed to be prohibitive and that
it is the same as enacting a law forbid
ding the making Of oleomargarine. The
proposed law does not tax the manu-
facture Of oleOmargarine designed to
be sold for what it really is 10 cents a
pound, or any other sum. It taxes the
act of coloring it to resemble butter so
that it can be sold for butter. 1t does
not prohibit the making Of Oleomarga-
rine, but does prohibit carrying on a
fraud. 1t is designed, not to crush out
OleOmargarine, but to crush out fraud.
Of course if it is impossible to sell
OleOmargarine except by fraud, then
the proposed law will suppress oleo-
margarine, and in that event it ought
to. If the opponents of the proposed
law really mean what they say-and
probably some Of them dO-that no
man should be allowed dishonesty to
sell oleomargarine as butter, nor
should he be prohibited from making
oleomargarine, then they really con-
cede the justice of the 10 cent tax and
the absolute necessity for that kind of
legislation, and they only oppose the
law through misconception of the stu
ation.-Creamery Journal.

Oleomargarine In vast quantities
passes through San Francisco, but not
a pound is left by the wayside. For
the first four months of this year TO-
900 pounds left this port, chiefly for
Honolulu, where, it is claimed, the Chi
nese consume it, though no doubt a
certain portion is sold to others for
butter. Here is something to think
over, for if the Chinese of little town
like Honolulu will eat a carload Of cleo
every month what great field in Chi
ma itself for this product and what
radiance it would be to this country!
Then, If the mob Of Chinese will eat
imitation there is every probability
that those who can afford it will get
away with considerable butter. This
fact should encourage us to continue
the campaign for oriental markets and
uphold the United States dairy division
and the California Dairy association in
their present efforts to contest those
markets with other countries for the
benefit of our own dairymen. Let us
not oppose this traffic Of the imitation
article in Pacific countries, for if the
large concerns which make OleOmarga-
rine will get the heather in the habit
of eating cheap grease under the guise
Of butter and open up avenues for it's
distribution we will then come in with
the better article and use these facili-
ties to our advantage. We can do like
the man said to his wife about the bur-
glar, eff he finds anything, we will
take it away from him."-Western

RiDeniuE Cheese.

The results of some valuable expert
ments on the above subject are report
ed by Professor Dean in the twenty
fourth annual report of the Ontario
Agricultural college. Details of how
the experiments were conducted need
not here be given, but the following
are the conclusions which were arrived
at by the eXperimenters:
The cheese lost considerably more
during one months curing when kept
at a comparatively high temperature.
This was true for each month during
the experiments, and also for the sea-
son. The average per cent of shrinkage
during the season for one month in
cheese weighing about 80 pounds,
cured at 60 degrees F., was $40 per
cent, cheese cured at &C degrees f.
lost 3.S5 per cent in weight and cheese
cured at 80 degrees +. lost 4.31 per
cent
The quality of the cheese was very
much better by curing at 60 degrees f.
The average score for the season for
cheese made in the college dairy was
nearly three points in favor of cheese
cured at 60 degrees F., as compared
with similar cheese from the same
vaN cured at sc degrees f., and five
points higher compared with those
cured at SO degrees F. The differ
ence was more marked still in Sep
TENDER and October cheese. The flavor
was very much better in the cheese
cured at 60 degrees F., and the texture
was marked Improvement. Cheese
cured at high temperature goes off in
flavor quickly and has a sandy or
mealy texture. The cheese made in
October and cured at 60 degrees f.
was considered to be worth from one
half to 1 cent per pound more than
similar cheese cured at 70 to IS de-
grees +. Cheese cured at the lower
temperature has a very much better
keeping quality.

Secure Good Mixers.

There are comparatively few places
where the milking is now done by wo-
men and children. Their hands are
not strong enough to do the work eff
fectively, and a slow mixer tires the
COW so that she is apt to hold up the
last milk, which is richest. This dries
the cow off. 1t is the interest of the
farmer to hire only men who are used
to milking, who are kind to all ami
mails and especially when they are
milking. Whoever beats a COW or
even speaks so loudly to her as to
brighten her lessons her product in the
milk pail-Iive Stock.

TEST OF CHURNS.
kat1resting Experiments Made at the
Indiana Station.

Indiana Station.
Professor C. S. Plumb of Purdue ex-
pertinent station says:
From time to time there has been in
troduced into the dairy community
unique forms Of churns. Hundreds Of
varieties have been patented, and the
farming public as a result has suffered
from the introduction of many of these
experimental, undesirable churns. I'm
der ordinary conditions of churning
modern dairy authorities generally
agree that churns should DE free of all
forms of inside paddles or dashers.
This is because where different lots
of cream are churned together at one
time they are often unevenly ripened,
and butter comes from some Of the
cream sooner than from the other. The
butter which comes first is more Or
less injured when struck and rubbed
by the paddle or dasher, SO that but
ter of inferior grain or quality is pro-
duced.
During the past few years several
forms of churns have been introduced
in the United States that are advertiS-
ed to bring the butter Gin a minute and
a half" and remarkable results are
promised the farmer who uses one of
them. These churns are Of the shape
of an ice cream freezer pail and con-
tain a set Of arms, or dashers, near
the bottom that are revOlved at great
speed by a geared arrangement at the
top Of the churn operated by a crank
handle. In April and May tests were
made of one of these churns at the In
diana experiment station. The churn
was small of capacity, so but eight
pounds, or one gallon, Of cream was
used in each trial. The trials were
made under as favorable conditions as
possible to produce good butter. The
cream was placed in the churn at
low temperature, ranging in the differ
ent trials from So to Sc degrees. At
the former temperature the butter
came in Z minutes, at the latter in Is
minutes. At SO degrees a yield of 3
pounds and 1 ounce of sailed worked
UuCISl was ScCulSu AZ CO UCSICCS 81
pounds and u ounces was obtained.
The amount Of butter fat left in the
buttermilk showed that the butter had
been quite satisfactorily separated
from the cream.
The removal of the butter from this
churn, however, was the Objectionable
feature. If the butter warmed up to
az degrees, a very common churning
temperature on our farms, it could not
be nicely removed from the churn. The
paddles beat it considerably, and after
giving such careful washings of the
butter as seemed desirable the con-
tents of the churn in each case smear
ed in an Objectionable manner. In
winter, in a cold room, the work of the
paddles would still be undesirable.
This type of churn, for the reason
given, is not to be recommended over
the standard barrel or box churn, free
of all inside devices. The revolution Of
a simple barrel or box churn contain
ing no paddles in a cool room with
cream at "a to Sc degrees temperature
should give the most satisfactory re-
suits to the dairy farmer

NERVES AND FOOD.
NervoUg Cows Give the Greatest
Amount of Good MILK.

NervoVg Cows Give the Greatest
Amount of Good Milk.
1t is the nervous COW that gives the
greatest amount of good milk, says q.
w. Jones in the Boston Cultivator.
One inclined to go to fat makes an eX-
cellent beef COW, but a relatively poor
mixer. AS the nervous cow is apt to
be smaller in proportion than large,
fat, beef making COW, the idea gains
some Roadway that she requires less
food. Indeed, there is a tendency in
some quarters to reason that q cow
needs food in proportion to her size
that is, a large cow requires more
than u small one. This is an error Of
a most pronounced order. 1t is nervous
energy that absOrbs and uses up food,
and it requires more to feed such ma
ture than it does one of a phlegmatic
disposition. II anything the opposite
to what is true in general practice
should be observed. More rich and
highly concentrated food should be
given to the small mixer than to the
large beef maker. The good mixer, if
her digestion is good, can change more
of her food into milk than another ami
NAL can convert into beef or fat A
good deal of this food that is given to
the mixer is converted directly into
milk and is thus more profitable than
when fed to the beef cattle.
The nervous animals mechanism is
more easily deranged than that of the
heavy, beef making animal A pillow
horse can stand more abuse than the
high strung race horse. Many dairy
men do not appreciate this thoroughly
either in their feeding or caring for
good milk COWS. AS the whole value
OF the animals products depends very
closely upon the condition of her diges
ton a study should be made constantly
of the cows health In a normal con-
ditiOn she can take great amount Of
food and convert it directly into milk.
This food should be given with the
best possible caution so that it will not
injure the health of the animal. Give
all to the COW that she will eat up
clean is good rule to go by, but if her
appetite declines there is something
wrong with her digestion that needs
instant attention. Very frequently this
cause is so simple that one overlooks
it. In a nervous cow a sudden fright,
undue excitement or running in the
field or anything that will upset the
nerves may cause the flow of milk to
stop temporarily and upset the diges-
ton so that the full quantity of milk
will not be given for weeks. 1t is to
guard against such slight accidents
that the dairyman must exercise his
supervision and authority. His COWS
are high strung milking machines that
easily give out under abuse or misuse.
