Below we Illustrate a simple appar-
atus for testing the quality of milk, as
we'll as for separating the component
parts of other liquids according TO their
weight, the machine being OF a con-
venient form for either household or
laboratory use. It'would be a matter
of qualification TO the housewife TO
know to a certainty the percentage or
cream in the milk she buys, and often
times a machine of this kind would be
the means of exposing adulteratlon, or
its use would enable the owner to Sc
lect the richest milk. To utilize the
machine the two test tubes are re-
moved from their supports, filled with
the milk or other liquid and replaced in
their sockets. The crank is then re-
volved rapidly for few minutes, and
when the tubes come to standstill
again a glance at the figures on the
tubes will indicate at once the percent
age of the heavier ingredient of the
milk 1t is needless to say that the ap-

Horse Notes.

Allow a horse a reasonable time 10
rest after feeding.
1t is within the reach of every farm
er to breed good horses.
Mares bred in the fall viii endure
coed service without injury.
A dumb, stupid colt can never be err
ucated to be a valuable horse.
A good colt is a product not affected
by weather, hot. wet or dry.
Size, form, bone and constitution
must be regarded first in breeding.
Let the heels be cleaned every night.
Dirt or filth if allowed 10 cake causes
sore heels.
While horses need good wholesome
food. it should not be all of the fat pro-
dueing kinds.

Oil ON Troubled Majors

Pliny speaks in his natural history,
80 A. D., of the good effect Of pouring
oil upon troubled waters" More than
eleven centuries ago the venerable
Bede tells Of a priest sent into Kent
to fetch King Edwin's daughter, who
was to marry King Oswarra. He visit
ed the bishop to get his blessing, and
was told that the journey would be
stormy, but that a pot of oil which was
given him would still the tempest.
When the storm came the priest used

digestive tract. AS rule we feed oats
whole to horses. but give ground feed
to other farm animals. For dairy cows
four quarts per day of ground oats will
not be too much if the animal is matur-
ed. For younger cattle we feed smaller
amounts in proportion to age. We grind
barley and oats together and occasion
ally mix in a little wheat. Corn and
cob meal we also find satisfactory. For
fattening hogs we grind barley, meal
and wheat together in equal parts. This
is an excellent feed for hogs intended
for the butcher.

Apples and turnips are both excellent
and are much relished by the fowls.
You can feed the apples raw or boil
them soft and mix with mash food.
Turnips should be chopped up and
cooked as an addition to mash. Hens
are almost as fond Of cooked turnip and
apple as they are of meat. At Is to 80
cents d barrel the apples are cheap
enough for hen food.-Dr. Woods.

Apparently the city hunters and the
farmers are to be arrayed against each
other at this session in a fight over spring
shooting. The farmers want to shoot
ducks in the spring and the city hunters
want spring shooting prohibited. Many
county boards have passed resolutions
favoring the repeal of the present law
prohibiting spring shooting, and remon-
strances are beginning to come from the
cities. Endless suggestions for the bet
ter protection Of game are coming in. A
good many hunters favor shorter deer
season and more vigorous measures to
protect the deer during the closed sea-
son.. Complaint is made that lumber
men slaughter large numbers of deer
to supply camps. and there is to be
bill presented which will aim to put an
end to that practice. Some Milwaukee
hunters, who go into the woods every
fall, favor the payment Of liberal re-
wards for information about violations
of the laws. The fish and game com
mittec will soon begin the work of franz
ing the bills which will cover all the
changes that are to be made.

The Sarau and Stout bills are causing
some uneasiness to the bachelors of the
Legislature and third house, Of whom
there are several, and they are talking of
calling a bachelors convention to take
steps in self-preservation. One of le-

bill which they regard as the more OBJ
jectionable, violates the constitution and
outrages the declaration of independence.

In legislative Halls.

Prof w. y. Henry, who looks after
the interests of the Wisconsin University,
prepared an interesting statement to ac-
company the university appropriation bill
introduced recently, in which he shows
that neighboring States spend far more
money on ther agricultural colleges than
Wisconsin does. The buildings of the
Wisconsin college have cost about $780,
600. while Michigan has spent 100000
on her agricultural college buildings;
Minnesota, $250,000, and Iowa, $780,
900. Minnesota will appropriate $780,
900 more this winter for new buildings
and Iowa has $150,000 building in
course of construction. In explanation
of the $4,000 annual increase asked for
his college, Dean Henry states that the
present total income of the college of
agriculture is $64, 900, of which sum $780,
OOO comes from State taxation and the
remainder from the United States gov
eminent. If the increase asked for is
granted the total income of the college
of agriculture will then be $4,000, of
which $4,000 will come from the State.
The present fixed annual incomes of our
own agricultural college and those in
adjoining States are as follows: Wiscon-
sin, $4,000; Minnesota, $4,000; Michi-
gan, Sl24,OO0; Iowa, $142 900.

1t has been suggested that the stringen-
cy in State finances which invariably
comes at the beginning of the calendar
year might be relieved by a change in
the time of collecting taxes from the
railroads. At present they pay their
taxes in two installments, the last of
which is eight months after the taxes
have been charged against them. For in
stance, the taxes for 1900 will be paid
this year, the first instalment being due
in March and the last in August. 1t is
held by some who have considered the
subject that if half the tax was paid in
the year against which it is charged it
would help matters, and it is also sug-
gested that still further relief might be
obtained by making the State aid to high
schools payable when the State taxes
have been collected, instead of in De
cember, as at present. 1t amounts to
100000 in round numbers, and it is sell
dom actually paid in December, but it
stands as a charge against the general
fund and helps to create a deficit in fig
ures whether there is an actual deficit or
not.

South Haven is getting to be quite a

about 1909 people when the resorters
them are "at home" in Oshkosh, Podunk

If South Haven should secure the
county seat without the appropriation,
the people need not expect to escape with

600 after purchasing a site and preparing
it for the buildings, they would be for
tunate indeed.-Hartford Alliance.

Cock Shooting In Tall Corn.

Cock shooting in tall corn is as easy
to the expert as ii is puzzling to the
novice. You will, Of course, work with
the rows, not across them, and if you
are wise you VIII shoot at every
glimpse of bird ard very frequently
after an instant's sight OF him, when
you can only guess where he is. Sharp
work, say ye. my masters. Yes, in a
measure, but not so wonderful after all.
You certainly must be ever ready and
swift and smooth In action, but actual
sight of the bird at the instant of pull
ing trigger is not necessary.
Green corn won't stop even fine shot.
and your charge will give a pattern as
big rs bushel basket: hence the shak-
ing OF a leaf. the flick of vanishing
wing, are enough for the master Of the
art. In an instant his gun is on the
spot where n species Of lightning cal
culation tells him the bird should be,
and the trigger is pressed without the
slightest delay. The difficulty with the
novice is to get him 30 shoot at once in
stead OF waiting in vain for n clear
view. Experts kill bird after bird i'm
this way. The novice must dismiss all
thoughts of empty shells. No good
sportsman worries over misses. though
he will learn from failures how to hold
next time. There is no royal road to
success in the field. Nothing but ex-
perience really counts. So let the nov
ice crack away, although he may only
get one bird in ten. We all know what
he'll get If he doesn't shoot at ALL
