She and her playmates the queer words

THE RIpRNING OF CREAM.

The cream that is received by a
factory is already partly ripened, as
indicated by the immense numbers of
bacteria 1t contains. All the changes
which occur in the cream under the
influence of the miscellaneous bacte-
ria have already occurred, and the
ripening that takes place in the fac
tory is wholly due, or almost wholly,
to the growth of the acid bacteria.
A ripened cream is almost pure
culture of acid bacteria, but this does
not mean that the ripening has been
produced by this bacteria alone.
That the Tactic bacteria play an i'm
portant part in the ripening is per
fectly evident; that they are the sole
cause of the changes occurring in the
ripening is not so evident.
The peculiar flavor of spring butter,
which is so much desired by the but
termaker, is not due to the develop.
ment of the common Tactic bacteria.
Butter ripened during the winter
months develops the two species of
tactic bacteria as abundantly and as
quickly as does that ripened in the
spring, but the flavor does not make
its appearance.
In the last three experiment. re-
corded the spring flavor was very no
ticeahie in the cream, but the devel-
opment of the acid bacteria, or the
two species referred to, was practic-
ally the same as in all the previous
experiments. The spring flavor,
therefore, can not be due to these
common Tactic bacteria.
To what this spring flavor is owing
we are not yet satisfied. Whether it
will prove to be due to the large
growth of miscellaneous bacteria
during the first few hours of ripening,
OF whether it is due to difference in
the chemical nature of the cream, re-
mains for further experiments to de-
eide. Mirror and Farmer.

Goose with an Ivory Arrow.

An Eskimo arrow of walrus ivory,

a Canadian gray goose, Is on exhibit

goose was shot few days ago by
John Cochran near Liberty Lake. As
he picked up the big honker, weighing
fourteen pounds, he was surprised to
see a little piece of ivory sticking out
from Its breast for two inches.
With difficulty he pulled 1t out, for
the flesh had grown around the arrow.
Then he saw that 1t was an arrow
eight inches long and about as thick as
a lead pencil. The carvings on the
