Cream Thickeninq.

From Farmers Review: A dairy
man writes that he is selling cream to
a grocer and restaurant, that the
cream tests from 25 to 81 per cent fat
and is delivered daily. His customers
complain that the cream is too thin,
and he wants to know IL there is some
other way than by ageing the cream
to get the desired body. He writes
that by giving the cream age it Is not
fresh enough to endure the careless
ness of the restaurant help and there
are always complaints about the cream
being sour when he attempts to hold
the cream day or SO in order to
thicken it before delivery to his Gus
toners.
He asks If l cannot recommend some
preservative. or presrvaline that is
harmless and will not interfere with
the whipping of cream. He says, II
have tried to get the grocer and res
taurant man to use more care with
the cream. but 1t Is useless, hence the
necessity for some sort Of preserva-
tive that will somewhat prolons the
keeping qualities of the cream"
My reply to this letter is that there
is law in this state forbidding the
use Of any kind of preservative in
either milk or cream. | do not know
of anything that has been found, up to
the present time, to be absolutely
harmless to the consumer. | mean by
this, that l do not know OF any pre-
servative that is offered by the trade
that is harmless. There is a cub
stance. however, which has been pre-
pared for thickening cream and
think very likely 1t will answer the
purpose of this man. 1t is what is
called wisconsin Viscogen" and it
can be obtained by writing to Chas.
S. Baker q Co. Grand Crossing Sta
tion, Chicago. This is a powder that
is sold in pound boxes and sent by
mail. The powder is dissolved in
water and the solution added to the
cream. Directions for using 1t are
sent with the powder.
1t is a fact that separator cream
usually looks. thinner than gravity
cream which contains the same per
cent fat. There Is something about
the mechanical separation which
breaks up the cream and makes it look
thinner than gravity cream. After
such creal-- is day or more old its
thickness resembles that of gravity
cream, but many dealers can not wait
for the cream to age for the same rea-
son given by this man.-E. H. Earring

Feeding in Summer Drouth.

From the Farmers Review: The
necessity of maintaining normal
flow of milk during summer drouth
will be conceded by all who feed for
profit. In complete soiling the Wis
consin Station shows that Gle acre
OF soM'hs Crops equals two and one
half acres of good bluegrass pasture
for feeding dairy cows. Partial soil.
ing is an economy that no dairy farmer
should neglect. Supposing the drouth
to come about the 25th of June, your
first substitute will be red clover, If
you have it. Don't use rye; it will
taint the milk. If clover is not on
hand, SOW Canada peas and oats, each
one and half bushels per acre. For
succession Is or 20 days later, sew
again. If the season proves wet, your
first sowing Of peas will be a failure,
as far as the peas are concerned, for
they will lodge and rot off When
cured before ripe enough to shell, this
makes excellent winter feed being
rich in protein. Millet, sown one
bushel to the acre about the middle
of May, will be ready to succeed the
peas and oats in % days By this
time King Corn has elevated his ban-
ner and should be given right of way.
A plat of some Of the early varieties
of sweet corn. followed by another Of
StowelFs Evergreen, will carry you
through until the field corn is right,
and no waste land, for every cne of
the above mentioned makes good via
ter feed when cured in the proper con-
dition. The slo is said to BE the
panacea for dry spells, but as l cannot
speak from experience, silence is
golden" Hoping that the star of al
falfa will soon rise east of the Mis-
sissippi, meanwhile experimenting
little in that direction, we mainly rely
on the method above set forth. Use
brains. They are as necessary as feed.
Weed out. Don't feed COW that only
returns seventy-fve cents for a dol
lars worth of rations. In your selec-
tions for mating in your herd, be an
artist. Produce your ideal, and future
generations will bless you for any prog.
ress made.-Granville Jones, Knox

babies born in the little town Of

This is not intended as a startling
piece of news, because their arrivals
have been duly and appropriately

boys at home, met in one Of the large

chases about the same time, AS they
were all leaving the place, within
speaking distance of each other, a
fresh young assistant in an effort to
be pleasant, fred the stereotyped
question at one of them How is the
boy, tO-day?'
In an instant four beaming faces
were turned towards him and four
pleased voices answered in chorus,
"Oh, he's all right, thank YOU"
The assistant nearly tainted.
