Scoring Milk.

S. C. Keith: The Hanford Halle
wood Cream company in Iowa have a
method Of scoring milk as butter
judges score butter, and there is some
little rivalry among milk producers
to see who will receive the highest
average score; they take pride in
sending milk that will score high. l
do not know whether it is practicable
or not, but l honestly believe that If
we could to-day pay for milk by what
it scored, and if we had a good score
system, we would see them fall into
line. The surest way to get good re-
suits is through mans pocketbook;
if you can make him realize that it
will benefit him financially and thai,
it is for his interest to send in good
milk they will soon fall into line;
they will wash their COWS three times
a day if necessary, but if he thinks
you get all there is and they get
nothing they viii not want to do any.

CoIorinq Oleomaruarine.

The Internal Revenue Department
of the United States has issued rules
as to how oleomargarine may be col
ored. 1t says that Ln coloring matter
may be put into oleomargarine and
that no butter containing colorlng
matter can be put into it. Bat eff
butter absolutely free from artificial
coloratioR, or cottonseed oil free from
artificial coloration or any other OF
the mixture of compounds legally used
in the manufacture of the finished
product has naturally shade of yel-
low in no way procured by artificial
coloration" the product, though look
ing like butter, will be subject to a
tax of only "a of one cent per pound.
This seems to us a reasonable regu-
lation. 1t is well-known that butter
enters to considerable extent into
the composition Of some brands OF
oleomargarine. The law recognizes
this and no effort has been made to
prevent this. use of butter. At least
we may feel certain that the combi-
nation of small amount of butter
with a large amount OF oleomargar'
inc will not result IN producing an

Balanced Rations for Chicks.

Rhode Island Experiment Station:
One mixture Of seeds was made as
follows, at the suggestion of the poul-
tryman: For chicks from one day to
six weeks old: Mix four parts cracked
oats, one of fine cracked wheat, two
of rolled oats, one-half of milIet seed,
one-half of broken rice, I'D two of
fine scraps. For the first two weeks
we have added one pint of millet seed
leaving out scraps during the first
week. Boiled eggs, three for each
fifty chicks, have Also been fed.
After six weeks and up to ten
weeks feed the following mixture:
Mix four parts cracked corn, two of
fine cracked corn. one of rolled oats,
one-half Of millet, one-half of broken
rice. one Of grit and two of scraps.
For chicks kept in the colony sys-
tenn give for grain, three parts wheat
and four Of cracked corn. Also give
the following mash three times per
week, and daily after ten weeks Mix
one part ground corn, one of groun d
oats, and one os brown shorts.
To feed the meat scraps we made
the seed feed into a mash with boil
ing water, mix the scraps with it,
and covered the mass until it was
we'll steamed. This mash seems to
hasten the growth of the chicks
While it seemed necessary to feed the
youngest chicks rather oftener, those
ten days old were fed mash in the
morning, green food at noon, and d1'y
seeds at night.

Natural Winter LAYERS.

In choosing fowls for winter laying
one must be governed good deal by
the origin of the breeds. Thus it is
Mediterranean class or those deriv
ing their origin from India would
prove as good layers in the far no,th
as birds that originate in regions far
north The Mediterranean classes
are without doubt good layers, but
for the coolest weather in say Wis
consin we would expect to have the
best result from the offspring OF such
breeds as those that have been kept
and have thus been hardened in their
ancestry. The breed characteristics
will crop out often even in the laying
qualities Of the birds. This is in
direct accord with the experience of
the farmers of this country. >Some
years ago the Farmers Review sent
out inquiries as to what fowls had
been found to be the best winter lay
ers. large number of answers were
received, and the majority of the re-
plies favored the Black Langshan
The Black Langshans are from north
China, region where the mercury
sinks down sometimes to 40 degrees
below zero. For summer layers we
rould Select some breed from tropical
or semi-tropical regions, such as the
Leghorns and the games, but for
winter layers we would select al
ways birds that have originated in
colder climates.

oftentimes make the mistake of not
sufficiently diversifying their crops.
The man in the factory who does only
one thing, year in and year out, loses
much of the training and experience
which the necessary Jack at all

hours work on one thing is doubtless
much more wearing than twelve hours
of variety. Shorter hours should in
fairness go with all extensions of the
division of labor principle and to
some degree they have done so.
The forces that have made the di.
vision of labor possible are chiefly
the cheap transportation which the
steam-engine offers. the coming OF
the factories and the growth OF popr
lation. Without a large population to
consume it's products costly machfn
cry would not pay, and without chear
transportation the products of the

From Farmers Review: The idea
that a duckling covered only with
down If allowed to get entirely wet
is dead duck is prevalent and really
good 1t is that everyone almost be-
lieves this. The down, If 1t gets en-
tirely wet. is quite while in drying.
so long that the duck is very apt to
chill; after it is feathered they shed
the water. thus protecting the down,
so 1t is doubtful if ever q feathered
ducks down gets wet. A down
clothed duckling might enjoy itself
in water, not cold, of a warm sunny
day, with only benefit derived from
the exercise. but how many would
watch that they got to swimming wa
ter only in such favorable times? :?
Thus it is best to not allow ducklings
water In which they can swim; nor
allow them to be out in the rain until
after they are feathered. But don't
forget they must have water in q
deep vessel, deep enough for them to
cover their entire bill above the nos
trils. If this is neglected the nostril
openings will get clogged with feed
and dirt and the duck will die. This
is the only way they have of blowing
their nose. Ducks blow their nose
with water and hens bathe in dust,
but both require lots of grit and char
coal. Little chicks and ducks require
their grit to be in the shape of coarse
sand, or at least large part of it to
be sand. Don't let the downy duck
linss bathe in water or get caught
in the rain; they won't come in; it
might not hurt them. We have had
some that thrived on it, but it is
risky.-Emma Clearwaters

Rights of Union Men

Recently the New York court OF ap-

union to call it's members out on
strike from non-union shop. The
decision was based largely on the
ground that employers would not be
legally responsible If a union man
we're injured through the carelessness
of a nor-union employe. The right Of
the union men to protect themselves
was acknowledged. Shortly before
this decision was made public bill

Bitter Rot of the Apples.

A word now should be said upon
the common name. Very commonly
the infected flesh of an apple is dis
tinctly bitter to the taste. but there is
much variation in this. Sometimes
the bitterness is very slight, in other
cases almost equal to quinine. But
such bitterness sometimes results
also from other causes. Other fungi
produce similar taste in the affected
fruit. though those usually attacking
stored apples have no such effect. The
musty favor due to common molds ks
altogether different. If the word bit
ter is not always characteristic, the
word rot is not especially appropriate.
The affected tissues are never slushy-
soft. There is indeed no extra ac-
cumulation or Incorporation of water.
The spot is hard and firm and at
length becomes sunken somewhat
from the shrinkage of the drying pulp
of the fruit. There is no odor. The
apple seems to be converted into a
semi-woody substance which is re-
sistent of decay. 1t is in this condi-
ton that the shriveled fruit remains
for a year or more attached by its
dead stem to the twig, or endures for
similar length Of time upon the
ground. IT, however. the affected
fruit is neither constantly bitter nor
really rotten. still the name is as ap-
propriate as any that can pro oably be
found and is certainly better than
that Of ripe rot" which has been pro.
posed-Prof. T. j. Burrill.
Bitter rot of the apple is directly
due to vegetable parasite which,
starting from a spore lodged upon the
surface of the apple OF in a puncture
made by other instrumentalities
grows in the pulpy tissues of the
fruit and in a few days bears another
crop Of spores, by means of which
the process may be Indefinitely re.
peated.

Prospect for Removal of Andover Sem
mary to Grinnell

mary 20 Srl1HeiI.
Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, June 1S.-In regard to the
prospect for the removal of Andover
Theological Seminary to Grinnell little
new has developed. Rev. James L..
Hill. of Salem, Mass, an alumnus of
Grinnell and of Andover, prominent III
the organizations of both bodies of
alumni, stated a few days since that the
trustees of Andover Seminary stand
five to four in favor of the removal of
the seminary to a new field and the
chance for coming to Grinnell If it is
removed anywhere is more than even.
The seminary was founded in 1906 as
a part of Phillips Andover Academy
owing to the difficulty of securing Il
charter for a religious school. Such
charters were refused at that time by
reason of objection to religious con-
troversy of which it was thought the
religious schools We're always the CEN
ter AS a part of Andover Academy.
however, the theological school had a
great career and until a few years ago
was a leading seminary of the east.
The equipment in buildings and books
is rarely good. The library numbers
over fifty thousand volumes. The sem
mary possesses fine buildings for the
seminary work and magnificent
campus. 1t also has long row of large
and fine houses for the residences of the
professors 1t is because the trustees
will not readily give up such valuable
property without compensation that the
four members of that body still oppose
the removal. If the seminary is re-
moved the buildings and campus will
all fall into the hands of the Phillips
Academy.
The trustees of Iowa college an
pointed a committee who shall have the
matter in hand for Grinnell. DR.. Hill
is the link connecting the two bodies
and it is certain that he will do all in
his power for the interests of Grinnel1
The Grnnell committee will keep
closely in touch with the committee of
the Andover trustees and empowered to
act for the body it represents.
