Errors In Milk TESTING.

Professor Ecklcs of the Missouri
station says: II cream Is tested by
measuring out with the lT.G C. c.
pipettc, ms IS done with milk, the
reading will be too low for two rea
sons. The basis of the BabcOck test
is IS grams. The 1G.7 C. c. pipettc dc
livers this weight of milk, but as
cream Is more adhesive than milk, a
considerable amount will stick to the
pipette. In sour or thick cream this
error may be as much as Is per cent.
This error Is easiest removed by fill
ing the plpette about one-third full
Of warm water, shaking to loosen the
cream from the sides. then adding this
10 the cream In the bottle. The other
cause for error is on account of tho
lightness OF the cream, as compared
with milk. A l7.G C. c. pipctte full
of cream does not weigh quite IL
grams. the regulation amount, but
somewhat less, depending upon the
richness of the cream. IL II Is ncces-
sary to have an exact test OF cream
It can be obtained best by using deli
Cutc bCuics hHu WcibHiHS out 'hc uc'
sired amount. Scales especially ar
ranged for this purpose can now be
purchased at reasonable price. The
temperature at which cream bottles
are read Is OF great Importance. A
difference of over / per cent can be
made by changing the temperature
from 10 degrees to $50 degrees; ex.
tremes often met with In various
testers. The exact temperature at
which reading is correct has not yet
been determin.:i. but should be some
where about 120 degrees. The best
way to get bottles at a proper TEN.
perature is to set them In pan deep
enough to bring the water up near
the top OF the bottle.

Value OF Soft Feed.

From Farmers Review: My cx.
perience in feeding both mash and
cooked feed to fowls and chicks is
that II Is the best morning feed one
can give. have obtained better re.
suits from feeding mash once day
than by feeding all hard grain. My
hens lay more eggs, the eggs are
more fertile and my fowls are
healthier when feed a mash once a
day. ! think II necessary because II
furnishes variety. Is economical and
allows one to utilize feed that would
otherwise be wasted. and It is bene.
fc!al because II permits one 10 mix
certain ingredients that will keep
your fowls healthy. My experience
has been that the right kind OF a
condition powder Is OF as much bene.
ft to poultry as II is to horses or
cattle or as a blood purifier or a tonic
is TO people. Powdered sulphur and
linseed meal Is given at the proper
time and Is one OF the best muscle
and bone forming feeds. Feeds of this
kind should be fed In the mash for
best results. I was born and raised
on a farm and have always had
poultry, and my fowls have free range
now. take full charge of all OF them.
When feed hard grain In the morn.
Ing the fowls In summer will hunt
a shady place and sit around for
couple OF hours ana In winter some OF
them will oven so back on the roost,
but when feed mash they don't seem
to be satisfied and SO have to scratch
around for more. I find the mash 10
be the best morning feed because II is
very nour!shing and digests much
quicker than hard grain or any other
feed. have obtained better results
from this method than any other and
have never mad any disease among
my fowls.-David .. Bootz. Peoria

Reducing Water In Butter.

In order TO decrease the water con.
tent where II Is necessary. the follow.
Ing rules should be observed, says a
Swedish buttermaker.
Churn at low temperature. wash
the butter thoroughly and drain well.
Add the salt before the working is
commenced. After the salt has been
added, do not work the butter more
until after II has become hard, prefer.
ably the next morning. but then
thoroughly and not In too large pieces.
Place the butter In an ice box or
refrigerator after the first working
and not In water. At all times In
making and working the butter the
quality must. Of course, be considered
In the first place and the water con.
tent only in the second. High water
per cent is no hlndrance for high quail.
ity but must not be gained at the
expense OF the quality. AS one OF
the requirements for high water per
centage Is that the butter Is to be
worked while Il is still soft, the butter
after It Is packed In tubs must neces.
sarily be kept at low temperature. II
there are no affective means for cool

Chicago Has New Dairy Laws.
The Chicago city council has Just
passed some new and stringent laws
relating to tho milk traflc. There
has been for a long time much com
plant Of the very loose way In which
milk was bought and sold In that
city. It's handling vas ntten conduct
ed under conditions that were likely
to make milk q conveyor OF disease
Moreover. In somo OF the poorer To-
calitios tho milk sold for whole milk
was both skinned and wetered. In
many cases It was 80 nearly sour that
It's use for childrcn's food resulted IN
much sickness and somo mortality
The new laws create a milk and
food department In tho board OF
health. One of the most startling IN
novations is tho rule that all cans
containing skim milk shall be paint
cd bright REQ. This Is because the
sale OF skim milk has been largely
conducted under the pretense OF sell
ing whole milk II Is not desired TO
prevent the sclc of skim milk, but
only to prevent itE sale as unskimmed
milk. Tho cleanliness of cans ana
other milk.holdlng utensils Is to be
rigidly enforced.
Mixtures of any two or more OF the
following articles is prohibited:
Whole milk. skinned milk, cream
condensed milk and buttermilk. Cans
containing any one of the foregoing
are required to be labeled In three
inch letters. The caps of bottles are
similarly required to be stamped. the
test provided for milk is per cent
butter fat and 0 per cent other solids
a total OF IL per cent solids. For
cream the minimum fat must be 10
per cent. No skim milk can be sold
II II contains less than S.5 per cent ol
solids, including butter fat. Watered
milk, adultrratcd milk and impure
milk will not be permitted to be sold
at all. nor can the milk be sold from
cows diseased or kept In filthy con
dltiOn or fed on slops or refuse. Any
attempt to sell such milk will result
In a fine OF from s. to 5000. Impure
or condemned milk must be des
troyod. Cow stables must he washed
daily and diseased animals must b'
kept away from the well ones. Refuse
matter must not hcnceiorth be stored
In dairles.
As Il notice that the laws adopted
Monday last are To be enforced. TIT
milk inspectors on Tuesday seize'
twelve cans of watered milk AM
poured their contents into the gutter
fined. as they are outside the jurlsdic
ilon OF tho city. IL Is doubtful. how
ever IL they send any more watere
milk to Chicago.

Anyone. upon opening after death

OF eggs In formation much like

the ovary. These rudimentary eggs
have neither shell nor white, con

the germ Of the future chicken; and
as they become larger and larger they
arrive at certain stage when, by
their own yolitioD, weight or other
cause. they become individually de-
tached from the bunch, and fall Into
a sort OF funnel leading into a pipe

Water for Plants,

alton. Prof. King tells us that where
this has been maintained by the ap.
plicatlon of the needed water their
smallest yield was four tons OF dry
matter per acre, and the largest seven.
teen tons, and an average OF over
seven tons when twenty-five cases
were tried. We all know that that Is
very much In excess OF what most OF
us are doing. We also know that all
plant food in the soil is soluble in
water under certain conditions, and
that all plant food with perhaps one
valuable exception. that of carbonD Ia
taken into the plant through the mois.
ture that Is In the soil. This being
the case, no matter how rich our soil
may be, il II Is perfectly dry the plant
has no means OF getting hold of the
plant food. The vegetable matter is
made available through the millions
of bacteria that are In the soil. Our
flint corn takes $3.50 gallons per acre
each day less moisture to bring It to
perfection than any other crop we
grow, using some 230 tons of water
to grow one ton Of dry matter; Dent
corn 800, and other crops varying
amounts, till we reach oats, which use
from 500 to 700 tons. An apple tree.
during the time It produces Its fruit.
will use $50 gallons per day. or on an
acre. with the trees 35 feet apart,
$3.50 gallons per day. Prof. King tells
OF four stalks Of corn that used in
thirteen days as they were coming to
tnssel 1906 pounds Of water, or nearly
three pounds for each stalk per day.
This gives US some idea of the i'm.
portance which moisture has In the
growth OF plants.

cember IS. 1900. a period OF 35 days.
two shoats were penned on sweet po-
tatoes growing on poor sandy soil, and
furnished daily per head with two
pounds ground corn and one pound
ground cowpeas. which was regarded
as a half ration. The total weight at
the beginning OF the test was 23l
pounds, and during the Ave weeks the
two shoats made total gain of 67
pounds, requiring besides sweet po-
tatoes. 3.13 pounds OF grain per pound
OF growth. The potatoes were not
eaten with much relish, and after be.
ing rooted up they were left on the
surface. some OF them remaining there
until they decayed. Probably the
waste would have been less n less

Value Of Stable Manure.

In a recent report Of the Oklahoma
station Director Fields makes tho fol
lowing statements regarding the value
OF stable manure. which apply to 9TH
er portions Of the country as we'll as
to Oklahoma:
On the outskirts OF every town in
Oklahoma may be seen n collection OF
manure piles tht have been hauled
out and dumped In waste places. The
plant food In each ton of this manure
Is worth at least $2--that is what
eastern farmers pay for similar ma
torial, and they make money bv doing
II. And yet, almost every ,iveryman
has to pay some one for hauling tho
manure away. This Is simply be.
cause farmers living near these towns
are missing n chance to secure some.
thing for nothing--Decause, perhaps.
tho profit Is not directly In sight. But
from most soils there is handsome
profit possible from n very small ap
plication OF stable manure.
On the farm OF the Oklahoma Agri
cultural Experiment station Is an acre
that has been In wheat for eight
years. II had never been manured
In the fall Of 1898 onehalf Of the acre
was manured at the rate Of Is tons
per acre and the other was left TN
manured. When the crop was har
vested, In the summer OF 1899, III,
manfred piece yielded at the rate o
80 bushels per acre and the unma
nured yielded but ~ bushels per acre
An increase of IS bushels OF whea
was secured the first year from an ap
plication OF is tons Of stable manure
IL all OF the effect Of the manure wer,
exhausted the first season there wer,
IL bushels OF wheat to pay for haulini
about 10 loads Of manure. But the ei
feet Is lasting and extends through ,
period OF several years.
Here is a feasible plan to increas,
the wheat crop: Put every bit OF ma
nure obtainable into the soil. Eight
cen hundred bushels OF wheat will
pay for one man and team hauling
manure for $50 days and the profit 1
directly in sight.
