Stories of the Badger State

The history of Wisconsin is replete
with striking and interesting events with
which few persons are familiar. Reuben
G.. Thwaites, in his Stories of the Bad
ger State, which has just come from the
press, has given to us, within moderate
compass, a series of stories of genuine
history, and which are told in light
tripping manner that will interest the
school children as we'll as those of ma
turer years In this new book the many
picturesque events and epochs Of the
state since it's first discovery are pre-
sented, so that the student of local his
tory find his present interest in town.
village, city or state, growing with his
knowledge of it's past. These recitals
surely will cultivate civic patriotism
among the youth of the commonwealth
and reproduce the atmosphere and feel
ing of the early times. They give the
reader more vivid picture of pioneer
life than volumes of ordinary narrative
could do Nothing of local history is
more entertaining, or more Instructive
than the spirited account of Joliet and
Marquette, and the earlier jOurneyings
of NicOlet Radisson, and GrOsellEers. A
new light is thrown round the character
of the Indian: and the Indian tales,
which are told by the author, will de
light the children, and, after a reading
they will appreciate more than ever the
sufferings, and the sacrifices made by
both the Indian and the pioneer. These
stories have a charm of romance, yet
they are historically accurate and trust
worthy This is history presented in the
most attractive form. Instead of bare
dull facts, with figures representing
dates, there are presented to the reader
real persons and scenes. The price Of
the book is 60 cents, and the American
Book Co. has our thanks for copy.

UNCERTAIN TESTS.
| Need of Some System In Which Dali
rymen Have Confidence.

Need of Some System In Which Dali
rymen Have Confidence.
Skepticism of private dairy tests is
natural, for the reason that it is very
often well founded, says correspond
ent of The Country Gentleman. Buy
ers frequently give owners full credit
for honesty as men, yet doubt the
truthfulness of the butter tests Of their
cows because they believe that through
misplaced confidence they allow them
selves to be deceived by their employ
ees. What is the remedy for all this
distrust?
1t may be set down as a pretty safe
rule that no system of test will gain
that degree of public confidence which
would make it acceptable as an au-
thoritative means of deciding competi-
ton between rival owners or as
sponsor for records of comparative
merit which does not afford ample
opportunity for investigation and
watchfulness on the part of rival in
terestS.
All plans heretofore adopted in this
country for general use have fallen
lamentably short. There are a few
tests, however, that command full con-
fidence. They are those that have
been made in open competition on the
fair grounds. where rival interests
and ready to assert their rights against
any unfair advantage or stretching Of
results. But while the principle that
necessarily dominates the fair ground
test meets the critical appreciation Of
the breeding community at large the
opportunity for it's practice is too linn
tied. Our fairs all occur at about the
same time of the year under widely
differing conditions and surroundings,
none Of which is conducive to the best
yield of the COWS, though perhaps In
each case as fair for one cow as for
another. Hence 1t is not for it's adj
vantage in favoring the cows that the
fair ground test commends itself, but
because the circumstances and cOndi-
lions safeguard just decision. The
demands of the breeding interests in
this vast country cannot wait upon the
limited capacity Of the fairs to supply
their butter records. They must have
a system that works the year around
under better advantage to the cow and
equally guarded as to verify Of yield.
This system must be uniform in meth
cd all over the country, conducted
strictly by rules issued from the gov
erning source and always subject to
official inspection.

Dairy Salt Tests.

The necessity Of using pure salt is
apparent to every butter and cheese
maker, says The American Agriculture
list. In butter making it serves three
purposes. First, it aids in the removal
Of buttermilk and surplus moisture,
sailed butter containing less water
than unsalted as q rule; second, it aids
as a preservative, and, third, it helps
to improve the flavor of the butter,
which, from the American standpoint,
is the most important. In recent
study of this subject by the Wisconsin
experiment station it was found that
it was more difficult to evenly dis
tribute a coarse grained salt through
out the butter than a fine one, but that
the difference in weight of the finished
butter was is per cent more when the
coarse salt was used. On the whole,
salt with a medium sized grain that
was fiat and f1aky gave the best salts
faction. For cheesemaking a cOarser
salt than for butter is preferable.
The chlorides of magnesium and Of
calcium give to butter it's bitter flavor.
These two chlorides tend probably to
bring about a slow decomposition Of
the butter fat, which accounts for the
unpleasant taste. While, therefore,
their presence may not be noticeable
in fresh butter, it becomes apparent in
butter kept in storage for any length of
time and hence is particularly objec-
tiOnable in salt used in the manufac-
ture of butter not intended for imme-
diate consumption. Analyses showed
that the following may be taken as
fairly representative of the best brands
of dairy salt used in this country: So
dunn chloride, 9S.32; calcium sulphate,
Ill; calcium chloride, .27; magnesium
chloride, 90; insoluble matter, .03, and
moisture, Is per cent. AS compared
with the % samples Of Canadian and
European brands Of salt examined the
results show a higher degree of purity,
less variation in composition and uni
formly finer grain in, favor Of the
American brands. The total amount
of impurities in the ten leading domes-
tic brands ranged from sc to 2.56 per
cent, averaging 1.6S per cent, but the
percentage Of impurities is of less con-
sequence than their character.

THE ARCTIC MOSQUITO.
A Fierce Inse2t That Is a Menace ts
 Human life.

Nothing that has ever been written about the arctic mosquito begins to come up to the real thing" said 8 guest in the St. Charles corridor the other evening. q went up the Yukon river in the summer of 1896, represent ing the Alaska and Dominion Trading company. and We struck mosquitoes as soon as we got into the hills. They are twice as large as our familiar bayou species. and their sting is like the prod of hot needle They sweep along the valleys in dense clouds. and If they catch man unprepared they are liable to blind him before he can escape. I heard stories of children being stung to death, and can readily believe them. Whenever we went ashore we wore heavy hat nets and took the utmost pracautlon, but were certain to suffer more CT less. One of our party cut the tongues out of his shoes and narrow line of sock was exposed under the lacing. Next day he was bitten there at least hundred times, and his feet were so terribly inflamed that the shoes had to be cut off. Another man, fireman in the boat crew, got drunk on Alaska whisky one afternoon and lay down to take a nap in a corner of the engine room, and was mortified at the solid brown mass of mosquitoes that had settled on a small exposed section of his cheek and throat. In an hour his face was swollen out of all resemblance to any thing human, he was unable to swal- low and was burning with fever. It was a week before he was able to be about. I saw a number of cattle near Fort Hamilton that had been made stone blind by stings near the eye. The arctic foothill mosquito is with out doubt the most terrible insect pest in the world.
