it is one of the things which the but.
termaker most commonly neglects. Al
very few of the buttermakers through
out the country are graduates of our
dairy schools, there are not many OF
them who understand the influences
that affect the flavor of butter. They
have learned buttermaking in me
chanical way and go through the pro-
cess according to rule, but If anything
should occur to interfere with the
working of these general rules they
find themselves at sea. There is moth.
ing more difficult to understand than
the production of flavor in butter, but
in most of our dairy schools the prin
ciples of producing it are taught in
such way as to place it almost com
pletely under the control of the but
termaker. The buttermaker finds it
hard, unless he has studied his work
at school where principles are taught
to adjust himself to conditions and
consequently some of the bad butter
which is produced is traceable to his
lack of information as to the best
method of treatment. We would nat.
urally expect, from the fact that few
Of our buttermakers are graduates
of dairy schools, that considerable diff
ficulty is experienced in testing the
milk. Every we'll equipped creamery
at this time has Babcock milk test,
and it's operation is one of the impor'
tant features of the factory. II but
termaker is incompetent in this dlrec'
tion he is sure to have lots of trouble,
as it is quite common for farmers tc
become skeptical about their test even
if it is accurate. We have had in
quiries come to us along this line ask
ing where an official test should be
obtained, as the patron did not think
that his factory was giving him fail
test. 1t may be said here that the
dairy commissioner makes such tests
and the creamery departments of the
various experiment stations are also
willing to make tests of this kind.
This is work, however, which should
he acceptably performed by the butter
maker, and the fact that there is Sc
much trouble over it simply indicates
that more of our buttermakers should
be graduates of dairy schools.-Wis

A Drill Hole 1890 Feet Deep.

The drill hole on the Turf Club
nearly two miles from the outcrop of
the main reef, struck the main reef at
1900 feet, OF within twenty five feet of
the depth at which it was expected
formation would be struck. A curious
feature in connection with the sinking
rods were left in the hole for twenty
months while hostilities We're going
on. The details of the work when it
was renewed are best given in the fol
lowing quotation from the report of
the engineers, which is as follows:
tons, we started to withdraw the rods
on Sunday morning, May 26, at 9.1O a.
m. The full pressure of steam at our
disposal was applied. and as the rods
took the strain it was a moment of
great anxiety to the onlookers, and we
seen the rods had not moved an inch.
The next moment, however, to our
great relief and delight, they gradually
and evenly slipped outward, and so
continued to lift, without hitch
throughout the day, so that at knock
ing-off time we had pulled 1850 feet
Work was resumed at daylight on the
following Monday morning, and we are
happy to inform you that by 10 a. m.
on that day all the rods were safely
out of the hole."-Mines and Minerals

Feed for Profit.

Feeding animals only to keep them
over winter is not profitable. Every
animal should be SO fed as to make
gain. 1t is loss of time to feed in
winter simply to hold an animal over
until it can be turned on the pas
ure. There is no reason why the
rmer should sacrifice the winter
!onths. Warm quarters and proper
cod should make animals gain and
