Stevens bank ut Montfort with nitro.
glycerine at , n. III. yesterday. n
Doran, who lives near by, hearing b
explosions, put his head out or the
window and yelled fire" number OF
times. This scared the burglars, WHO
put out their lights and ran TO the
station, where they had hand car
ready and started east. Seven Mont
fort men took another hand car and
followed them, finding the burglars

three miles this side Of Ridgway.

A Su-Cesrioa.

There is one way in which the dairy
men can save themselves from the COM
petition they complain Of from the
manufacturers of oleomargarine and
renovated butter if all will unite in
making the necessary effort, and we
know of but the one way, says The
American CultivatOr When all will
make butter that is better than the i'm
itation article and will handle it so
that it needs no renovation, then they
will force the renovatOrs out of bust
ness and oblige the manufacturers of
Ole0 to sell their product for what it
really is-a cheap imitation OF genuine
butter that may have it's legitimate
use in supplying q class who must OBJ
tain a cheap article or abstain entirely
and also for use on shipb0ard or in
warm climates. where butter quickly
becomes rancid. For these purposes
nearly all of the margarine exported as
such from this country is now taken.
Of the more than 100000 pounds Of
imitation butter exported during the
first nine months Of the year, or our
usual annual exports of over $4,O0O,00O
worth. the greater part went to Central
America and the West India islands,
though Hawaii has lately become a
pretty good customer. Here both con-
ditiOns prevail-a climate which soon
causes good butter to become rancid
and q large class who need to buy
cheaDly.

Each CTC-s n
The mouern c.et.-s.e.. a.-d cll,c~e fac
tory uses the Babcocll test fer deter
mining the richness Of the milk del,v-
ereG by each patron, says the Wiscon-
sin experiment station. The most com
mon and satisfactory method CT nGy-
ing for the milk according to its test is
to take small sample of each lot Of
milk every day, pour this into a cover
ed glass jar containing q small amount
of some preservative and ct the end Of
a week or ten days test this composite
sample. The essential features of the
process are given in the following di-
rectionS:
Provide a pint or quart jar or bottle
for each patron. Label each bottle
with a number, giving the same num-
Der to a patron on the milk recording
sheet. Composite test sample bottles
made for this purpose with a tin cover
and numbered brass tag wired to the
neck of each bottle can be obtained of
creamery supply firms. These sample
bottles should be placed ON shelves
within easy reach Of the weigh can
and protected from the light.
A preservative is put into each clean
bottle to keep the milk from souring
until testing day. Pulverized potas-
SUM bichromate, corrosive sublimate,
boraX or preservaline can be used for
this purpose. Some of these preserva-
tives are put UP in tablet form, each
tablet containing the necessary amount
to use in one sample. After each
lot of milk is poured into the factory
weigh can small amount of it is dip
ped from the can and poured into the
proper sample bottle. These samples
are usually taken with q small one
ounce tin dipper, q sampling tube OF
from drip in the conductor spout.
Each lot Of milk sampled must be
sweet, containing no clots, Jumps of
curdled milk or small butter granules
The sample should be. taken just as
soon as the milk is weighed and while
it is evenly mixed. Continue adding
a sample Of each patrons milk to his
particular jar every time he delivers
milk for q week or ten days, then test
this composite sample. The composite
sample jars should be kept covered to
prevent loss by evaporation and in q
cool, dark place. Every time a new
portion Of the milk is added to the jar
it should be given q horizontal rotary
motion to mix the cream already form
ed in the jar with the milk and to
rinse off the cream sticking to its side.
Unless this is done every time fresh
portions of milk are added to the jar
the cream on the milk becomes lUmDy
and sticks il patches to the side Of
the jar, thus making it nearly imDossi-
bic to evenly distribute this cream
through the entire sample.
Composite samples having patches OF
dried cream on the inside Of the jar
are the result Of carelessness or ig-
norance on the part Of the operator.
The test Of the composite sample takes
the place Of q separate daily test and
gives accurate information regarding
the average quality Of the milk deliver
ed by each patron during the period
Of sampling The weight OF butter fat
which each patron brought to the fac
tory in his milk during this time is OBJ
tanned by multiplying the total weight
Of milk delivered during the sampling
period by the test Of the composit3
sample divided by 100.
