Gradually there is growing up the
idea Of having officials appointed by
the government do the milk testing.
This is being urged in some countries.
1t is thing certain to become the
practice in the not distant future. The
man that takes milk to the creamery
is often dissatisfied at his test. II he
does not believe 1t dishonest, he be-
lieves 1t made by an incompetent man.
and the latter belief Is not infrequent-
ly well founded. Under the present
system the milk tester finds all of his
interests on one side. It has been ac-
knowledged In some cases that the
tests have been doctored to keep the
patrons satisfied-that is. the high
tests have been slightly reduced. and
the low tests slightly raised. A part
Of the cream Of the man with good
cows has been given to the man with
scrubs.

Calculating Cream of a Certain Richness.
From Farmers Review: A let.
ter from a cream seller contains
the following question. will you
please tell me how to figure out the
amount OF cream to take and amount
Of skim-milk to take to make a certain
amount of cream of less density; for
instance, II | have great deal Of
cream testing 80 per cent and want
only six gallons, or 4S pounds OF 20
cent cream. how much cream and how
much skim-milk must / mix togeth-
err"
AS I understand part OF the ques-
ton 1t is. how many pounds Of
cream testing 80 per cent fat must you
use in order to make six gallons. or
48 pounds, OF cream containing 20 per
cent fat?
This can be figured as follows: In
48 pounds of cream containing 20 per
cent fat there are SO pounds OF fat.
This is found by getting 20 per cent
of the 4S pounds. Now If you have 80
per cent cream and want to reduce it
to 20 per cent cream the first thing
is to find out how many pounds of go
per cent cream must be taken in order
to get SO pounds OF fat; this may be
done by the following proportion:
32:1O0: :9.6:X.
Carrying out the calculation by multi
plying 96 by 100 and dividing the
product by 80 we get 80 pounds, show
ing that in 30 pounds OF cream testing
go per cent fat we will obtain the SO
pounds of fat which Is contained in As
pounds or six gallons Of 20 per cent
cream. Subtracting the 80 pounds
from 4S leaves IS, so that our final
result is, to add is pounds OF skim
milk to 80 pounds of 80 per cent cream
and the mixture will be IS pounds or
six gallons OF cream containing 20 per
cent fat.
II the question means how can you
reduce 80 per cent to 20 per cent
cream, it may be answered as follows:
Suppose you have SIS pounds Of 80
per cent cream and want to find out
how much 20 per cent cream this will
make. First, find how many pounds
Of fat there are In the IS pounds OF 81
per cent cream; carrying out the null
tiplication-S5 by 80, gives 27.2 pounds
Of fat. The next step is to find out
how much 20 per cent cream this 27.2
pounds will make. This may be cal
culated by the following proportions:
Multiplying 27.2 by 100 and dividing
by 20 gives 1856 pounds Of 20 per cent
cream, which the 27.2 will make. The
answer, then, of the Question-how
much 20 per cent cream will IS pounds
of 80 per cent cream make? -is, that
to IS pounds of 80 per cent cream you
should add 81 pounds of skim milk,
and the mixture will give 1876 pounds
of 20 per cent cream. Such calcula-
lions may seem somewhat complicated
but they are comparatively simple
when made by first finding out how
many pounds OF fat there are in a
given quantity Of cream; this is OBJ
tanned by multiplying the weight OF
cream by its test; then from the
weight of fat thus obtained determine
by a proportion how much cream test
ing any desired percentage this
weight of fat will make.-E. II. Far

The selection OF the brood SOW Is
the most important factor and is
where the average farmer makes a
most serious mistake by selecting the
second or third class sow pigs for
breeders, because IL in buying them
they get them for less money, or in
keeping them from their own herd, the
better individuals sell for more money.
The fact of the matter is, these are
the most expensive animals to be re-
tanned or bought for breeding pur-
poses. II we select runts or second or
third class sows las like begets like).
in a short time We have our farms
overrun with very inferior class of
hogs which will be several years be-
hind in improvement. On the other
hand, II we select the very best gifts
for breeding purposes and mate them
with a sire Of equal individuality we
will soon stock up with a very de-
sirable and valuable class of hogs. 1t
is hard to pay too much for a real
valuable brood SOW. She is of more
value than any other breeding animal
retained on the farm.-O. r. Aney.

M,.ter, Of MINK Formation.

The mystery of the formation Of
milk is one that has engaged the at
tention of good many scientists. One
theory Is that milk is blood held in
suspension. This may not be true and
it may be true. Certainly milk when
exposed to a high degree of heat
changes color and takes on the ap-
pearance OF dried blood. The soldiers
in the War OF the Rebellion found this
out and used it for secret writing
They wrote with their pens dipped in
milk. The recipients took the letters
and baked them in an oven and the
lines became legible. Those opposing
this theory say, however. that the
analysis OF blood and Of milk is not
absolutely identical. This may have
some force as an argument and 1t may
not have The question of analysis is
a very large one, and there are as yet
several unknown quantities in 1t. 1t
seems about certain that the water
and the casein in the milk are filtered
from the blood. The formation Of fat
is mixed up with the building up and
breaking down of cells. But the ma
terial for this work must come from
the blood.

1t Is Lengthening

ing hygiene, pure food, physical Gull
ture, water contamination and kindred
subjects that there is now and then q
feeling that this excessive care in
guarding the health is not productive
of material results.
Science has done such wonders in
the nine decades from which the rec
ords of the age census computations
are made that the conscientious man
is often inclined to think he would
have no time for work or pleasure if
he lived up to all it's requirements. But
Notwithstanding this good record made
recently by the people of the United
States it is plain there is room for
much Improvement. The American con-
stitution must be strong indeed to
thrive under existing habits of life. All
the knowledge that has been acquired
and all the precautions that have been
taken can accomplish comparatively
little so long as business men overWork
and society women everyday.
Americans have not learned how to
rest, although the wealthy classes are
now making an attempt to enjoy out
door life. But even though the eight
hour law governed all classes, even
though men and women in every walk
of life realized the advantages of
plenty of exercise, the population
would not be able to attain the ex-
IRENE limit of longevity unless the peo-
pie learned something about how and
what to eat. There is no nation in
the world so extravagant in its food as
ours. There is no people that INDUCES
in such dyspeptic dishes. 1t has been
charged that there is no one who can
eat so rapidly as an American. If the
encouraging results announced by the
census bureau have been attained I'M
der present conditions of living, it is
astonishing to think what might hap
pen if we lived up to our possibilities.
