Ant Strength.

An English scientist recently weighed
a small ant and a dead grasshopper
which it was dragging to it's nest. The
weight of the grasshopper was found
to be sixty times greater than that of
the ant. The force exerted by the ant
in dragging the grasshopper along the
road was therefore proportionately
equal to that of a man weighing $50
pounds pulling a load of four and one
half tons or horse Of 1000 pounds a
load of thirty six tons

It is now generally conceded that the
recent national legislation on oleomar-
garine is not going to restrict the pro-
duction of that article, and. further.
that it is likely to increase its cOnsump-
ton, says Stockman and Farmer. The
low license fee and the fact that re-
tailerS can make greater profit from
oleOmargarine than from butter are
powerful influences in extending the
trade in the substitute. So far as color
goes oleomargarine is now being col
ored without at least any apparent vio-
lation of law. The coloring is not so
rich as Of yore, but it is sufficient to
satisfy the consumers eye, and OleO-
margarine's merits are being SO gener
ally urged and the dement's of butter
so forcibly set forth by the retailer
that more people than ever are eating
oleomargarine knowingly. A new proc
ess Of renovating inferior butter is now
in use by the packers, and this is hay
ing some influence on the market. On
the whole we cannot say that the stu
alton justifies expectation of high
fair now, all things considered, and
the probability is that they will not be
higher except for brief period or un-
der some stress of circumstances The
butter maker must depend on the excel
lence of his product to afford him a
profitable market one year with anOth-
er. Legislation will not do it, nor will
anything else do it except the care and
skill in manufacture and marketing.
Common butter must continue to sell
cheap, just as common products Of all
kinds SELL Broadly speaking, produc-
ton is more evenly balanced now than
it was. More milk is going into cheese
and to the cities, and until there are
more dairymen there is not likely to be
a serious overproduction in the butter
business But good products will be
necessary to profit.
The Profit In Feeding.
While nearly all admit that it pays to
feed literally, but small per cent Of
our dairymen practice full feeding. If
they would remember that it takes ap-
proXimately 60 per cent of all that
COW can eat to maintain her body,
more would strive to get q profit from
feeding the remaining 40 per cent as
it is in this that all the profit lies.
Give the Light.
All domestic animals prefer light
quarters to those that are dark, and
dairymen especially will do we'll to
cater to this natural desire Cows kept
in dark quarters are apt to have more
or less trouble with their eyes, as too
much darkness seems to cause 81 de-
rangement of the eye.

A FoibIe Of the Great Rachel.

''Look at the presents Rachel, the

the panegyrists. They forget to men

to get the thing back. Every one knew
this. Beauyallet, to whom she gave a

thanking her said: ''I'll have a chain
put to it, mademoiselie, so as to fasten
it to the wall of my dressing room. In

The Processes of PnstcUrizi.tG and
Clarifying MILL.


Clarifying Mill
It may prove interesting TO some OF
our readers, to know how the finest
brands of milk are handled for the
very particular market they are intend
ed to supply. Let us say right here
that the influence of this highest de-
mand is making itself felt all along the
line, even to the ordinary creamery,
calling for q more conscientious and
intelligent treatment of the milk and
it's conditions, says Hoard's Dairyman
The Dayton CO., Pure Milk and But
ter company have lately installed their
plant, and we will describe the various
processes through which the milk
passes.
About twenty-five dairymcn are now
furnishing milk direct to the plant.
Every mans product is first tested each
morning to see that it has not been
"doctored' by the addition Of formal
dehyde or other foreign substance OF
diluted with water. 1t is then put into
a large tank and weighed. From this it
goes with the other milk into a very
large open tank covered with cloth.
where it is constantly stirred to pre-
vent the cream from rising. This is on
the second floor. The next process
takes the milk to the first floor, where
it passes through the tempering tank.
Here the temperature of the milk is
raised to about 1872 degrees, not hot
enough to change the chemical proper
ties of the milk, however. The process
is continuous from the time the fluid
leaves the receiving tank until 1t is
Theoretically sealed in sterilized bot
ties. AS it goes from the tempering
tank it runs directly to the clarifier,
which makes thousands Of revolutions
a minute, and every particle of foreign
matter is eliminated. And such stuff it
is, a whole bucketful every day of the
yilest of dirt and filth and the products
of disease.
From the clarifer the hot milk goes
to the pasteuriZers. There are three Of
these, the first filed with hot water,
brine. In passing through these ma
chimes the temperature of the milk is
lowered in about ten seconds from 1852
to 3S degrees. And therein is the pas
teurizing process by which all bacteria
and germs of every sort are killed, as
they are not able to withstand the
shock Of the sudden change in temper
allure.
After bottling the milk is put in cold
storage and held for delivery. 1t is as
pure as milk can be and yet just as tru-
Iy milk as it ever was. 1t will keep for
five or six days in an ordinary refriger-
ator. The pasteuriZing kills the Tactic
germs, which are responsible for the
souring process.
The bottles are cleaned as clean as
they can be made and afterward put in
a sterlizing room and subjected to 24O
degrees of heat for half an hour.
The whole plant is in the highest de-
gree wholesome and sanitary. The en-
ployees dress in pure white, always
fresh and clean.
