The long, narrow room, the only
entrance to which was by a tortuous
passage behind old Lecop's tobacco
shop, was but dimly lighted by the
f1aring blaze of the filthy candles set
into a three-pronged candlestick in
the middle of the table. But although
the light only vaguely outlined the
figures of fourteen men about the
board, it shone full upon our faces, and
showed each his neighbor's counten-
ance in the pallid yellow glow.
At the head of the table sat Pu-
laski, his burly form making the
rickety chair in which he sat creak
and groan. His stature seemed al
most gigantic beside that of the
others, for we were all of sunny
France but he.
And now the fatal hour had come.
We had chosen our sacrifice. He was
hated of the people and must die. He
had done much against the cause OF
liberty, and we all echoed Pulaski S
fierce declaration that he must suffer
for his crimes.
1--WE are all here" said Pulaski,
raising his massive head, and his
deep voice filling the room. He must
die. Are we all agreed?"
A hoarse "Ayel" rose from the
group about the table.
From the drawer at his end of the
table he produced a handful of small
white beans, thirteen of which he
counted out upon the table in our
sight. Then from another compart-
ment in the same drawer he brought
forth one black one, and placed ii
with the white.
There are fourteen he said again
A hat served in want of a better
receptacle, and into it the fourteen
beans were dripped. Pulaski shook
them together, and passed the hat to
the man at his right hand. 1t was
too dark in the room to see the color
of the beans in the hat, had one
wished; but the first man looked
straight ahead as he plunged his
hand within and brought it slowly
forth again, closed tightly over the
bean he had selected. His hand re
mained closed as he passed the hat
to his neighbor, and thus it went down
the table.
Then the hat was passed to me.
Before my fingers clutched the little

Ripenina Cream.

In ripening cream, care must be Ia
ken to reach the right degree OF acid
ity, says Oscar Err, of the Illinois
Agricultural College. This can be de-
termined with Mann's acid test or with
the harrington alkaline tablets Ii
the ripening is carried on too far the
bacteria are apt to attack the albumen
or the fat of the cream, forming new
product which will give butter dis
agreeable flavor. The over-ripening
of cream affects to large extent the
keeping quality of butter. An expert
ment will probably best illustrate this
point Samples of butter were ana
lyzed. In the first sample the butter
churned from overripe cream con-
tanned Lie per cent casein, while in
the second sample butter churned
from mildly ripened cream contained
only O-S per cent. AS the keeping
quality Oh butter is decreased when
its proportion of casein is increased,
it will readily be seen that under equal
conditions the over-ripe sample would
become "off-favored' more rapidly
than the other.
To produce uniform flavor in but
ter, the degree of acidity must be con-
s1dered in relation to the thickness OF
the cream In the making of a high
havored butter, the cream must be
thin rather than thick, in order to
furnish more milk serum for the
development of more acid. Thick
cream should not be ripened to so
high degree of acidity as thin cream,
for the reason that the flavor of the
butter is endangered on account of the
lack of food supply for germ growth
for the production of more acid. The
following standard we have adopted:
For cream containing 20 per cent OF
butterfat ripening should proceed un-
til about 0.6 per cent of acid develops,
as determined by means of Earring
tons tablets; and for every 10 per
cent increase of fat in cream there
should be a decrease of L of per cent
of acid. as the proper stage for check
ing the fermentation.

Points on Starters.

Prof. G. L. Mckay: A pure culture
properly cared for should be carried
forward a month. We found at our
school, when isolating different spe-
cies of acid-producing germs from milk
that they would work vigorously for
three or four weeks when extra care
was observed in carrying them for
ward, but after that they seemed to
lose their power of producing acid,
then we would have to go back to the
wild state again and isolate from the
milk. l do not wish to say anything
that will injure the business of the
men who are putting the pure cultures
on the market, as 1 believe they are
doing good work for the dairy busi-
ness of our country. Still, l think
the good intelligent maker should be
able to carry his culture four weeks
If necessary care has been used re-
garding cleanliness and thorough ster-
iliZation of everything that comes in
contact with use of cultures or start
ers. Also care should be taken that
starter does not get over-ripe. AS
soon as starter begins to coagulate
it is in the best condition to use, but
If the maker is not ready to use 1t at
that time, it should be Immediately
cooled down to low enough tempera-
ture to practically check fermentation
until it is used. This can usually be
accomplished by placing the can in a
refrigerator or in ice and water. A
mistake some of my pure-culture
friends make is in advertising to sell
to a small creamery a bottle contain
ing half the amount of culture they
sell to a large creamery, at a reduced
rate. If lne right species of bacteria
is present in the culture, the intelli-
gent maker can pasteurize a pint or
a quart of good milk and inoculate it
with this small starter on the same
principle that any starter is carried
forward, and have enough starter for
creamery of any size.

Then the hat came back to Pulaski,
and almost feverishly he seized it and
clutched the remaining bean, turning
the hat upside down upon the table,
and rapping it smartly to show that
it was empty. Then Pulaski opened
his palm outward that we might see,

Suggestions to Milk Producers.


The dairy commissioner of Iowa
says: Don't buy a can that has any
seams in it, or if you must do SO,
have timer fill the seams with sol
der so that there can be no place
who're cream or sour miiA may es-
cape the washing. Use a brush in
stead of cloth to wash the cans, and
rinse them with boiling water. A few
statesmen of hand separators have as
sured their purchasers that one or
two washings of the separator in a
week is sufficient, and that weekly
or semi-weekly delivery of cream is
all that is necessary. Both statements
are equally incorrect The law pro-
vides a penalty for the delivery of
''unclean, impure, and unwholesome"
milk or cream to creamery. Such
milk is worth less, and brings less
when converted into butter, than that
which is clean 1t will pay to keep
the milk and cream in the best possi-
BILE condition, SO that the buttermaker
can make the highest grade of butter
out of it. The separator must be
washed after each time it is used, and
the cream should be delivered every
day Warm cream should not be
mixed with cold cream. Datronize a
creamery that is near you Shipping
milk or cream long distances lowers
the value OF the cream for butter
making Sell your product to some
one that you can deal with in person
and then if there is an error of any
kind you can compel proper correc-
ton.
