Kew the Compound Is Served In

food commission, says: II have
called upon 240 hotels and restaurants.

table or lunch counter in each instance
unless there were in sight signs read
ing thus: 'Oleomargarine or Butterine
Used Here l found that 90 of them
were using imitation butter and violat-
ing the law by neglecting to display
the proper signs. In talking with the
prOprietOrs of many of these places
asked why they used an imitation or
substitute instead of real butter. They
Immediately replied because it was
much cheaper, only a few, perhaps
three or four, claiming that it gave
better satisfaction to their boarders.
Some people may prefer to buy this
oleomargarine, or butterine, as it has
been called, to further their own pri-
vate interests, but it is certainly an
outrage for an unsuspecting public to
be compelled to eat such stuff, suppos
ing they are eating butter.
ASK one of these proprietors why
he is not willing to display the proper
signs, and nine times out of ten he will
tell you that it would hurt his bust
ness. l have found during my work
some few who seem willing to comply
with the law, yet too many of them try
to use too small a sign. In some in
stances l have been called to the back
part of the room to see a sign, about
the magnitude of a postal card, very
often placed behind door, a screen
or in chimney corner.
ut is not alone in the. cheap eating
houses that this imitation butter is
unla wfully used. but | have found it

that l have visited. These are the
places that would be hurt by sign

Alfalfa ElaHHr,

Butter made from milk of alfalfa
fed COWS is liable to have a peculiar
flavor unless special care is taken in
the handling OF the cream. 1t is Gus
tomary to separate a very heavy
cream and to hasten the ripening in
order to exclude or cover undesirable
favors. The cream tests about 40 per
cent fat and the use of homemade or
commercial starters is not uncommon.
In one creamery the cream is stirred
continually for five hours after it is
put into the vat No doubt this serves
to aerate it and partially removes I'M
desirable f1avors. The cream is churn-
ed from 20 to % hours old and the
butter is Immediately prepared for

VARIABLE TESTS.
x-nrd to Tell Why Milk and Cream
VIII Vary.

VIII Vary.
At a western institute a questioner
speaking on the variations in the quail
ty of cream and milk, said: Farmers
all over the country will come into the
creamery and insist that their test for
the month is not all right. They will
say, II know my cows produce more
butter fat than that test shows" Now,
what would be our best plan to give
a satisfactory answer to this man and
in a conscientious way tell that gentle
man why his test is lower after, of
course, asking him a number of ques-
tons as to food, ETC.? However, they
usually come in in the first place and
say that they are feeding the same
food: that they are the same cows and
they give the same amount of milk.
but the test is lower.
Professor Hacker, replying, said: I
have heard quite a number of persons
say, "Well, l kicked on my test, and
the next time it was higher" The best
way is to stick right to the exact test.
never varying one way or the other
from the exact test. Give them some
literature which will set out that
where COWS have been tested year aft
er year with the same feed, ETC., they
will vary and that no reason is known
for the variance; that they will vary
under the very best of care. Now, if
he learns that his herd will vary
sometimes test 80 and sometimes SO
and sometimes more-he will not be SO
unreasonable. We are deeply interest
ed in this matter of testing at the col
lege, and if we test at the agricultural
college and find the same results and
variations that you find and cannot ac-
count for them he cannot expect you to
give him a test Of the same per cent
every month.

Milk and Land Fertility.

The farmer who produces milk sell
dom thinks of the amount of fertiliZing
material that is needed to replace that
carried away i'll the milk, says The
American CultivatOr. If he buys grain
for his COWS and feeds it to them the
greater part of the year, he probably
buys, more fertility than he SELLS and if
the manure is properly cared for his
land continues to grow richer and his
crops larger and more remuneratiye
If he gets q fair price for his milk, he
may think or know that he is making
money. But when it is a question of
doubt whether it is a better policy to
sell the milk or the cream or to make
butter and cheese at home, feeding
the skimmilk and buttermilk and whey
to calves and swine, then the amount
Of fertilizer in the milk may prove an
important item and perhaps have in
fuence in deciding the question. We do
not allude to the fertilizer that drops
into the pail from the cows udder and
TANKS, though some careless farmers
send off considerable fertilizing ma
tcTlal III tEaC way, Out TO CnOSo olo-
ments which are in pure milk
Milk which will test per cent butter
fat contains about $2.1S worth Of fer
tiliZing elements, as commercial fer
tilizers are sold in each ton. At many
of the creameries 50 per cent of the
weight delivered is returned in skim
milk, and as this contains nearly all
the casein the greater part Of the fer
tilZing property goes back to the farm.
AS ton of cream is supposed to con-
tain but IS cents worth of fertilizer
about 81 worth is returned out of the
SIT in the milk. This is not a great
loss.
A ton Of cheese is supposed to require
about II to II tons of milk, and some
SIS worth of fertilizers is lost to the
farm. as but little goes back in the
whey if it is taken, and the whey has
not high feeding value. The feeding
value of the skimmilk is considerable,
usually reckoned about 20 cents per
100 pounds, or 81 per ton, and the fer
tilizing value nearly all returns to the
farm, so that a ton of skimmilk may
be valued at about Sc per ton for grow
ing animals and keeping up the condi-
ton of the soil when it is properly
used.
