Butter AduIteration.

Commissioner Yerkes of the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau has decided that
where boron or similar preservatives
are used in butter in extremely small
quantities for preserving purposes only
the product will not be subject to tax
as adulterated butter.
In the letter on the subject sent to
persons interested. Mr.. Yerkes says:
''The claim is made and abundantly
supported that the preservative is NOT
used in butter for the purpose of de-
odorizing or removing existing rancid
ity. Boric acid and most of the boron
preservatives do not possess the quail
ity necessary to deodorization or TO the
removal of rancidity The use of boraN
might have the effect, If used in sutii-
cient quantities. of removing rancidity.
but such effect would be either abso-
lutely absent or extremely small when
borax is used in the small quantity
necessary for preservation purposes
alone.
Further, the preservative is used
when the butter Is fresh and free from
rancidity or unpleasant odor. Even
renovated butter as now generally
made is deodorized and has rancidity
relieved by processes requiring no
chemicals, so that If borax or other
preSerVntiNeS are useu, tney cannot
have the effect of deodorizing or of re-
moving rancidity, as this condition
does not exist when the preservative
is used Where, therefore. boron pre-
servatives or similar preservatives are
used in butter for preservation, only
the extremely small quantity of pre-
seryative used, indicative beyond ques-
tion of the fact of its sole use being
for the purpose and with the effect of
preventing or postponing usual and
natural changes In butter. 1t is held
that the product will not be liable or
subject to tax as adulterated butter.
The quantity used must not be more
than necessary for purposes of preserv-
alton. II added in larger quantities. or
when used as bath or wash in the
working or renovation of butter. the
product will be held to the higher rate

SUGAR BEET PULP AS A FEED.

The Colorado experiment station has
made n series OF trials In which sugar
beets have been tested as II stock food.
with lambs. cows and swine. Several
bulletins are now being printed giving
the details. and will be distributed ns
soon as received from the printer.
These will form series from Nos. ~
to 40.
Bulletin 70 gives summary of the
results In other experiment stations,and
the experiments in feeding beet pulp
and sugar Beets TO cows. For milk
purpose both the beets and beet pulp
gave larger returns than for other pur-
poses.
Bulletin No. "A. by Profs. b. C. Buff
FUN and @. J. Griffith, gives details Of.
swine feeding tests in which the rela1
tive feeding value of sugar beets. beet
pulp. corn. wheat. barley, spelt, mixed
grain and alfalfa hay are compared.
The results seem to show that sugar
beets are maintenance ration only.
and are about equal to beet pulp in
feeding value when fed in combinn1
tion with grain. The principal value
OF both heets and pulp Is as a relish,
although there is some feeding value
in both. This bulletin shows that by
using homegrown grains and tile by
products of dairies and beet sugar fac
tories, there is enough food grown mt
home to make swine growing and fat
tening profitable in Colorado. and that
ordinarily the Colorado farmer cannot
afford to sell his wheat and barley and
buy corn for use in fatteQing swine.
This is the only bulletin known which
gives the results of feeding beet pulp
to swine.
In bulletin No. -, Profs. b. C. BuG-
fun and O. j. Griffith give details of
experiments in feeding lambs In this
the relative feeding value of sugar
beets. beet pulp. Russian spelt. home
grown grains and corn in fattening
lambs are compared. Also Shropshire
grades We're compared with common
native lambs as profit-makers in the
feed lot
Bulletin &C. by II. II. Griffith, gives
the details of lamb feeding expert
ment conducted at Rocky Ford In
which the relative feeding value Of
corn and beet pulp We're compared.
These lambs were shipped to Kansas
City. NO., and the effect of the ship
ment on each lot was noted. Two hun
drcd and fifty lambs We're used in this
experiment, and 1t was done as n prac-
teal feeder could do 1t. One lot was
fed corn and alfalfa and the other lot
fed pulp and alfalfa until March ID.
when corn was also given them.

BEET PULP For LAMBS.

Professor Buffum, in bulletin 10 OF
the Colorado agricultural experiment
station. now In press, draws the fol-
lowing conclusions on feeding lambs
with pulp and sugar beets:
Beet pulp is Il valuable roughage to
feed with alfalfa, and we believe would
be especially valuable to use during the
first part OF feeding period. Pulp
fed mutton had good flavor, but was
not very fat.
Pulp and alfalfa fed lambs made
gains Mt the least cost per pound, and
gave us the largest profit last winter.
The second best profit was from lambs
which Were fed spelt and alfalfa.
The third best combination of foods
used from the profit standpoint was
beets and alfalfa with ration OF grain
the last thirty days, decreasing the
amount of beets fed at the end of the
feeding period. Wheat. barley and al
falfa gave little better profit than
alfalfa, beet pulp and grain. The corn
ration gave the least profit when COM
pared with any of the lambs which
We're fed beets or pulp.
Epet pulp. which does not cost tie
reeder more than S1.50 per ton. Will
give return sufficiently large 10 pay
for using 1t in ration. but we would
not recommend letting lambs eat so
much OF 1t during n finishing period
that they will not consume good ra-
tons of hay and grain.
Sugar beets did not have n high feed
ing value for lambs 1t is doubtful If
farmers can afford to feed .beets to
lambs II they can sell them to fas.
tory at $3.50 per ton. and the condi-
tons must be favorable to make beets
give a return sufficiently large to pay
for raising them, Two pounds OF sugar
beets We're equal to about one pound
of pulp. Sugar beets and poor kinds
of roughage cannot be made to take
the place of alfalfa hay.
These trials showed that Mt the same
price corn had feeding value greater
than mixture OF wheat. barley and
oats. or wheat and barley, or barley
alone.
Our single trial with Russian spelt
showed IT to have feeding value at
least equal TO corn, and greater than
wheat and barley.
Shropshire grades made much bet
ter gain than common western lambs
when fed the same ration. Nine Shrop-
shire grades made average gains Of 43. @
pounds. and seven native western
lambs made an average gain of 81
pounds

FARMING MATTERS.
DANGER FROM ANTHRAX.

Secretary A. H. McCapes OF the state
veterinary board has begun n crusade
against the spread of anthrax In Colo
RADIO. This is a disease common to cat
lie and sheep, but II is also dangerous
10 man. and. when II is once started,
IS contagious and dangerous
Secretary McCapes says that there Is
not much danger from living animal.
but a great deal from one that was
dead. First the carcass should be de
stroyed by burning or burying it in the
ground with lime. Second. one could
yacclnate against it or one could dis
infect the soil with lime. The greatest
source OF the disease is the soil Itself.
which retains the germs In a danger
ous form. Another thing which DIR.
McCapes warns stockrnen against Is in
saving the hide OF an animal that has
died from anthrax. The hide contains
the germs. Often employees of tanner
les handle these hides and are innocu-
lated with the germ They then have
what is commonly called wool sorter's
disease but which is nothing more nor
less than n form of anthrax. The
symptoms OF anthrax germs in the sys-
TEN are high fever and chllls and lisu.
nlly the sickness has a fatal turn. The
germ Is very tenacious OF life and the
spores live for years. Among cattle,
sheep and horses the symptoms of an
thrax are those OF sudden sickness, re-
fusal to eat food, detected action and
chllls. The alimal lies down and soon
rises again, but does not show acute
pain and dies in few hours.
