not slow in taking advantage of this new means of helping themselves to an increased profit by using It in wedding out the poor cows of the herd. Today inteligent dairymen, not satisfied with herds 'as good as the, average" sell cows as well as milk by the Babcock test.
 The following may be given as some of the reasons for the almost univer- sal use of this test:
 1-The first cost is not great and It's operation is inexpensive.
 2.-The test is accurate and quickly made.
 S.-No knowledge of chemistry |. necesarsy in its use.
 4.-The per cent of fat is measured directly upon the neck of the test bot tie and no calculaI ion is necessary.
 5.-Not only whole sweet milk, but cream, skim milk. butter milk and whey may be tested by its use: and sour milk as we'll If accurately sampled.
 G.-But a small quantity of milk is used, and after the sample has been measured into the test bottle it need nIct be tested for weeks.
 7.-The machine is simple and doe. not easily get out of order.
 The prices at which ma nufacturers list BabcCck testers are as follows: four bottle machines, sS; six bottle ma chimes, 30; and eight bottle machines, S1O. This includes everything necessa- ry for testing milk. including a small amount of acid. Special bottles for use in testing skim milk and cream come extra. as well as the preservative fo;, keeping milk when composite tests are made.
 The following firms manufacture good machines and are reliable: Yer mont Form Machine Co.,, Bellows Falls. Vt; Creamery Package Manufacturing Co.,, Chicago; Cornish, Curtis & Green. FolIt Atkinson. Wis; F. B. Fargo, Lake Mills, Wis.
 Sulphuric acid, which is used, may be purchased at almost any drug s.oro, but if a hottling establishment is avail able, it is better to get your sl0p'y there; druggists sell so little of ii that it is likely to be weak from long stand ing. The acid costs, in Arizona, from five 10 eight cents pound, and that | amount is sufficient to test about if teen samples.
 The writer has found bichromf = ct potash satisfactory preservative on | account of it's cheapness and efficiency and the fact that the color it gives the milk renders it unlikely to be used by mistake for purposes other than test ing. It may be purchased (powdered) of druggists at ten cents per quarter of a pound. This amount should be sufficient for 250 to 300 tests A 8: short cartridge with a wire handle makes convenient measure and holds the right quantity for keeping a pint | of milk a week
 In purchasing a tester it is alway. advisable to get a good machine Cheaper ones than those mentioned

above are on the market, but unless it none at all, it is not best to buy that kind. By all means do not get a ma chine having a friction gear. The ac- curacy of the hest depends upon the speed at which the bottles are whirled and with friction gear it is impossi- ble to determine the speed.
 The directions accompanying the tss ter, if followed, are usually adequate for it's successful operation. The fol- lowing points, however, should be care fully watched:
 l. Sampling the Milk. The milk from which the sample for testing is taken must be thoroughly mixed so that the cream is evenly distributed through it. Avoid shaking in such a way as to churn the butter fat.
 2. Strength of Acid. The acid should have specific gravity of 1.S2 to 1.S3. This is determined by the use of a glass float, which may bs pur- chased with the machine, at a cost of from 8 to 75 cents. Acid is weakened by the addition of water. | 3. Temperature of Milk and Acid. l acid should be from GO to 70 degrees F. If you have no thermometer, buy one | with your machine. No dairyman should try to get along without one. 1 The writer has found it convenient to cool the milk for testing by allowing the fest bottles, into which the sam ples have been measured. to stand over night, and then test in the morning 1 If you do not have ice. wrap a damp cloth around the bottles at night and they will be cool enough when morn ing comes.
 4. Pouring Acid Into the Test Bot tles Hold the bottle in a slanting po- sition so that the acid will run down the side and not through the milk.
 ,. Adding Hot Water. The water should be hot. too hot to bear the hand in it. Soft water is to be preferred where i. is available.
 6. Measuring the Fat. A machine ten inches in diameter from the bot, tom of one bottle packet to the bottcrr of the opposite one) should be given 1O1o revolutions per minute; fourteen inch machine BIO revolutions; count the number of the revolutions of the lot ties to one of the crank and thus de- termine the rate of turning for your l self.
 While the operation of testing milk by the use of the Babcock test is sim | pie, care must be exercised in it's use; inaccurate results will surely follow | careless work.

oLD-T1ME GEORGIA ELECTIONS.
Reminiscc nces of a Man Who Saw
 Them.

The law turned us loose on the birds last week. the election this week and the Lord knows what next week.
 This is a plenty for old folk, and either one would naturally carry us back to the olden times-the birds in the old times and the old-times cleo lions. We took it on ourselves to watch the election and we are willing to ad- init that they are fairer now than in the olden times, and far more decent In the days when whigs and demo- crats were about equally divided in Georgia there was neither honesty nor decency in the securing and hol5ing what was then known as the floating vote" Get some old man to tell you just how men used to be ''penned' like cattle before all the elections of any importance. In those days half fam fly might be democratic, the other half whig. There was division then and the most energetic effort, The best citizens thought it all right to furnish money for political purposes and good men lent a hand penning votes before election. It was a species of kidnap ping, and the most disgracefuI scram- ble took place over these voters on the day that they were 10 cast their bal lots, and you need not conclude that all the "floaters" subject to this outrage were men from the scums of life. Any man who was unfortunate enough to be caught in his cups to the extent that he might be got inside of one of their places for holding these f1oaters woul1 never escape to go free. Sometimes it would happen that the other side would steal them bV some means from Their place of confinement, but i. only meant that they would be transferred to an other place of the same kind.
