IN. Cooperative Ruttermaxer.

Thomas Wittig: The buttermaker
of cooperative creamery has larger
field Of labor and a greater variety
OF work than the maker employed by
individual creamery owners or oper-
ators of a line of creameries who have
competent men in charge of each and
every branch of the business. In the
average cooperative creamery the but
termaker is usually the only one con-
nected with the enterprise who has
trained or fitted himself for the busi-
ness, and frequently the success or
failure of the creamery in his charge
is dependent upon him. To fill his
position successfully he should have
fair knowledge of the breeding and
general management of dairy cattle.
How to formulate balanced rations
and disposing of the by-products of the
creamery are problems which the up
to-date buttermakers should be able to
solve.

Water and Salt in Butter.

The German government has passed
a law that all butter must contain at
least 80 per cent of butter fat and that
none shall be sold that falls below
this standard. Unsalted butter must
not contain more than Is per cent of
water and salted butter not more than
16 per cent of water. The difference
is made to accommodate the condi-
tions that prevail in butter making,
since salted butter contains less wa
ter than unsalted butter. A butter
containing 18 per cent of water would
lose at least two per cent of it IL
salted at the rate of one-half ounce to
a pound of butter. In fact the weight
of salt put into butter is generally less
than the weight of water it causes to
be thrown out Every scientific but
ter maker knows that salted butter
weighs less than before it was salted.

that known as dry sailing.

Adversely Does Not Make Trees
Hardy.

John Clifford says: One often hears
the argument that trees or any other
living thing which has survived aG-
verse conditions are stronger and
harder than they would have been
without this struggle. An animal or
plant that has been deprived of every
thing except the minimum require
ments for existence can never COM
pete with the wel1-fed organism. A
tree can never completely recover
from the effects of suppression and
adversely. The common practice of
hardening plants by growing them In
a poor soil is a mistake. Grow them
from good seed in good soil, and then
il they are planted in bad soil they
will grow all the better from their
good start in early youth. One might
without doubt produce hardness by
long period of selection, extending in
the case OF trees over a period OF
hundreds of centuries, but -the hard
ening effect on the individual for 3
couple of years In the nursery is prob
ably very slight

The Gall of a Man.

The Chinese lay stress on the
amount of gall a man has and not on
the amount of heart. Thus we read of
Hou King, who was Governor of Ho-
nan in the sixth century, that he once
captured a rebel named Lii Cheh,
brought him into the market, chopped
on his hands and his feet, ripped up
his heart and his belly and cut out his
vitals. The victim, however, con-
tinued to jest, with his features un-
distorted and his countenance un-
changed. His gail bladder was then
seen to have the capacity of a pint
measure, which completely accounted
for his stoicism- In 1645. when the
armies of the Manchus were gradually
overrunning China, one Wu Han Chao
made head against them in Anhui. But
he finally fell into their hands The
historian records that his gall was
three inches long.-Shanghai Mercury.

The Cow.

The principal thing about dairying
is the COW. If more attention were
paid by the dairymen and farmers to
this factor we would have more
profitable herds. 1t hardly pays to
keep cows that produce less than
5000 pounds of milk per year, but
the average is less than 5000 pounds.
If man does not want to test his
milk for a year he can at least weigh
it for that period The cost of feed
ing and caring for a small mixer is
just as great as the cost of feeding
and caring for a heavy milker. The
profits are found only with the good
mixer. The sooner the farmers weed
out their improbable cows the sooner
will the bank balances of farmers
show a healthy increase in size. Cows
that are profitable are the only ones
to keep. A sleek COW is seldom a
profitable dairy animal.

Novelties in Chickens.

From Farmers Review: OF course
all breeds were novelties" in one
sense of the word in the beginning.
but by novelties we mean breeds that
are yet to be proved Doubtless there
are some excellent sorts among the
new breeds, but a good rule for the
beginner, or the old timer, who has
a slim purse, Is to let the other fellow
try the novelties. Keep your weather
eye open, and IL the new thing proves
to be profitable, then you may take
hold of it There are many proven
good breeds, and almost any paper
nowadays win advise you as to
choice in the matter, as all have their
stanch admirers, yet we hope 1T will
not be amiss to briefly state the more
pronounced qualifications of some OF
the more popular sorts.
For an all-around breed to suit the
farmer, a breed that will furnish q
fair number of eggs in fall and win
ter, make good sitters, excellent
mothers, and the chicks make good
broilers, frys or roasters. the extra
stock of which can be sold at a good
price on account of the weight one
can easily and quickly put on them.
the b. p. r. are the most popular, with
the 'Dottes a close second, SO close In
fact that they are ahead in the esti-
nation of many. The White 'Dottes
are perhaps the most popular. prob
ably on account of the greater ease
in keeping the plumage up to the
mark. The Laced and Penciled varie-
ties. while very beautiful, and just as
practical as the Whites, are harder
to breed true.
1t is true the 'Dottes are not SO easy
to put on fat as Rock hens, and the
young are perhaps a bit the more
me atty as to breast, but the Rock pull
lets are better sitters, outside of these
differences the two birds are almost
identical in practical value. Brahmas
are of practical and profitable value
on a farm, the light being commonly
seen. Their drawbacks are feathers
on feet and legs, and their habit of
laying on fat too easily. If one feeds
carefully, and watches feet and legs
for the scale, the Brahmas are fine.
Leghorns and Minorcas for eggs,
Cochins for meat, you pays your
money and you takes your choice-''-

Dairy Interests Of Argentine.

Dairy Interests of Argentine.
The dairy interests of the Argen-
tine republic are just now receiving
some attention from the foreign con-
suls located in that country. H1ther-
to Argentina has been q great cattle
producing country. but has evidently
paid no attention to dairying. In fact
on ranches where hundreds Of cattle
were kept 1t was sometimes impos-
sible to get enough milk for coffee.
So little has dairying been considered
that at the great agricultural shows
no classes have been made for dairy
cattle. However, . rapid change ts
taking place. a. butter is being de-
manded more and more. In addition
to the Increasing local demand the
farmers of Argentina are considering
the possibility of initiating New Zeal
and and Australia in sending butter
to England. They have the advantage
of the Australasians in q shorter dis
tance to transport their product. They
have the same advantage as the Aus
tralasians in having a summer con-
temporaneous with the European win
ter. They should thus be able to put
grass butter on the English market
any time after New Years.

Relative Decrease of Cows.

w. p Mcconnell. The high price
OF beef has tempted some farmers to
change from dairying to fat cattle,
and the high price of feed has led
some dairy farmers to sell a portion
of their cows for beef We venture
the assertion that Is per cent of the
cows now in our dairies are unprof1t-
able and nonpaying and should for
the financial interest of their owners,
find their way to the butchers' block
Very few people, especially us farm
ers, have weak eyes from looking on

Some Experiments with Tubercullm-
An English committee has recently
reported some valuable observations
on tuberculin and tuberculosis. Ex-
periments were made for the purpose
of determining the effect of repeated
doses of tuberculin and the length OF
time after infection before q reaction
to tuberculin takes place. For this
purpose apparently healthy animals
were selected and tested with tuber-
culin. II they failed to react they
were inoculated with the tubercle |
bacillus and tested at intervals after
ward, in order to determine how soon
they would react to tuberculin- One
animal that gave a decided reaction
when tested on October subsequent
ly failed to react, or reacted alter
nately. For two months it received
large quantities of tuberculin and en-
urely ceased to react The animal
was inoculated with tubercle bacillt
on February 6 and reacted to tuber-
culin eight days after incubation
The animal was then treated to large
doses OF tuberculin without reaction.
When killed on May % no trace of
tuberculous lesion was found except
a casefied and inert tubercle in
m0S0nCeT1C Slduu III OeACi CAPCAA
ments it was found that in many
cases reaction to tuberculin did not
occur until from 40 to so days after
the animals were inoculated with tu-
berculosis. In several cases which
reacted decidedly on the first test,
complete failure to react was noted
if the test was repeated within short
time The experimenters expressed
their belief that repeated injections OF
tuberculin may have some curative
effect, or may retard the progress of
the disease to some extent, and that
the matter is largely Influenced by the
individuality of each animal. A Few
animals could not be inoculated with
viruIent tubercle bacilH, although
they had not been previously treated
with tuberculiu and appeared to be
entirely resistant to tuberculosis.

one Way of spreadina charbon.

One Way of Spreading Charbon.
If all danger ended with. the ex-
piring breath of charbonous animals,
all would be well, as is perhaps often
thought to be the case by many
stock owners; unfortunately this Is
not so, but on the other hand, the
dead animal is, through its infected
blood and tissues, the most danger
Gus source of future Infection An
outbreak generally starts with one
dead animal that has caught the In
lection from grazing over pasture that
has been previously contaminated by.
the discharges from a charbonous
carcass. With the myriads Of blood
sucking flies surcharged with the
germ-infected blood of this first vic
tim, they are now prepared to start
the deadly work of inoculating healthy
but susceptible animals. There are
many other agencies that are capable
of transmitting the virus, in fact any
thing that can carry charbonous blood
can do it, but we believe that the
horsefiies, and perhaps other blood
sucking insects, are more responsible
for the extensive spread of this dis
ease in our state than all other
agencies combined, which opinion
will, we think, be borne out by any
careful observer familiar with this
plague. But, provided there were no
charbonous carcasses left exposed,
then the chief source from which the
various transmitting agencies pro-
cure their deadly freight would not
exist, and necessarily it could not be
carried. II we were asked our opin-
inon as to the most important factors
in producing our periodic outbreaks
or epizootics of Charbon in Louis
lana, we would say, unhesitatingly,
first, original victims that have been
carelessly hauled out and left ex-
posed. Second, horse-iies to convey
the charbonous blood from the re-
Gently dead animal to healthy stock.

Breaking Window Glass.

We understand there are a few
small boys residing near the Long
fellow school building that ought to
be taking to task, and put through a
severe course of sprouts. Several
panes of glass in the Longfellow
building are conspicuous by their
absence as a result of too much
activity on the part of these young
fellows who seem to delight in
window smashing. The marshall
tells us he knows who the savages
are, and unless they stay on their
reservations in the future he will
cause some arrests. Now this is on
the quiet, boys. We don't want to
see you get into trouble, so you had
better leave the windows alone, and
cause the officers and the school
board no futher annoyance. Boys
of destructive nature never come to
any good in the world, and sooner or
later find themselves in the hands of

THAT MEnORIAL,
Rev. Richardson Explains His Posi-
ton,

ton.
Mr.. ED1ToD:-
| Not long since I presented a me
mortal to the village council asking
them to instruct the marshall to en-
force in this village the laws of the
state concerning brothela, gambling
dens, minors in saloons, the sale oil
Intoxicating. liquors to minors and
habitual drunkards, the hours oil
closing saloons, and places desig.
mated by chapter 313, Fl. F. POI OF
the laws of 1901.
July Is the council passed res
olutiop, "That the marshal and night
Waterman be instructed to see that
saloons are properly conducted, and
as far as brothels are concerned there
is no evidence before the council
that such a place exists in the vii
lage."
Does this resolution mean that
saloons are to be conducted accord
ing to law? Or that they shall be run
("onducted) out of town? The
answer depends entirely on the point
of view. Saloons were open last Sun
day as usual. The memorial made
no charges of irregularity in any
matter; but was request that the
officers should see that 10 Irregular
ity occurs. Yet it is commonly re-
ported that three such places of
which there was ono evidence before
the council" were in existence at that
time, and the following Sunday night
by actual count sixteen men and
boys Of our town visited one of those
places, and on Monday night eight
more did the same between $50 and
HOO o'clock.
The oth:r sections of the memorial
were not touched upon by the coun
Gil. At this council meeting the
mayor coolly informed me that in
we'll regulated cities and towns it is
deemed advisable that such places
should unoffcially be allowed. That
he was elected as mayor of Morris on
the issue "aside from person alities"
as tC whether the back doors of sa-
looms should be open on Sunday.
The resolution adopted by the coun-
Gil shows tEem to be a unit with the
mayor. F. H. RICHARDSON.
