A PUZZLE TO DAIRYMEN.
Variations in Fat Content of Milk q
Source Of Wonderment Here
and Abroad.

One of the great problems that con-
front the scientists who deal with ss;lk
is the great and frequent variation in
fat content. In long period of time
the amount of fat secreted seems to be
quite constant, but within the limits
Of "a hours all rules apparently go
astray. Here and there examiners of
milk have made hundreds and even
thousands of tests of milk during a
short time and have found extreme va
riations. In England a Prof Ingle
made some hundreds of tests. At one
experimental farm he tested 700 sam
Piles of milk. The average results as to
fat were: Morning milk, 80 per cent. !;
evening milk, As per cent. Other SOL
ids: Morning milk, 9.2 per cent; even
ing milk, S.9 per cent. Average milk
yield: Morning, IS pounds; evening,
IL pounds. These samples were taken
in March and April, when the days
were short and the nights were long.
From the time of milking at night till
the time of milking in the morning
was IA to Is hours, and from the morn
ing milking to the evening milking
was eight or nine hours. The milk
was richest in the evening, but the
quantity was smallest.
The causes for this great variation
are little known, and we have not yet
learned the conditions that influence
them. In some of the samples analysed
the fat content fell below three per
cent, which is the legal standard for
milk in England. If man should sell
milk that contained less than three per
cent. butter fat he could be prosecuted
for watering his milk. In such cases
1T is a common practice to have the
cow MIXED and the sample tested for
the courts benefit. But in allowing
this milkman is taking great chances,
for the COW that gave less than three
per cent. milk in the morning is likely
to give four per cent. milk at night.
In that case the sample would most
certainly convict the unhappy COW
owner, for it would apparently prove
beyond all question that he had liber-
ally watered his milk to get it below
three per cent. This has not been
known until recent years and it may be
suspected that many milkman has
been prosecuted for watering his milk
when he did not do So This does not
mean that we must do away with all
standards, but that the milkman must
be more careful about the milk he sells.
Farmers Review.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1904-09-15
GOV. BAcHElDER'S VIEWS.
He Demands National and State Aid
for Roads as a Matter Of JUS
tice to Farmers.

New Hampshire is one OF the states
which is making rapid strides in the i'm
provement of her roads. Gov. Bachel-
der, of that state-and he is also an OFF,
Ger of the National Grange very en-
thusiastic advocate of road improve
ment. In a recent address he said:
"The development and prosperity of
any state or nation depend in some de-
gree upon the transportation facilities
provided; and such facilities include
not only our rivers and harbors and our
great railway and steamboat COM
panies, but also the highways over which
all our products and all our people are
transported.
THE important matter now before the
people to realization of their respon-
sibility in securing favorable state and
national legislation on the subject. The
small pittance appropriated for the use
of the good roads bureau of the Depart
ment of agriculture is entirely out of
proportion to the money appropriated
for other objects of a public nature
when their relative Importance is con-
sidered.
Another important matter is the con-
struction of roads adapted to the needs
of travel over them. Much harm has
come to the good roads movement in
some sections of the country through the
advocacy of more expensive roads than
the resources of the people would war;
rant and demand. Costly stone roads
are economical upon portions of our
highways, but we must not overlook the
fact that there is vast mileage of roads
that could be permanently improved by
the judicious expenditure of compare
lively sman SIM of money per mile
We should give due prominence to this
fact in considering the matter from a
state or national standpoint
GAS an official of the National Grange,
l desire to say q word for the farmers
of the country in regard to national aid
for road building. The farmers have
been loyal to the interests of the nation
in every emergency in the past. They
have contributed their full share in pro-
portion to their wealth to the revenues
for the support of the government The
ablest statesmen and most successful
business men, contributing to the devel-
opment and prosperity of the country,
point to the farms as their birthplace.
When our country has been in danger,
the farmer boys have responded nobly
to her defense. We have uncomplain-
ingly contributed our share to the enor-
nous expenditures of the national gov
eminent for river and harbor improve
ments, the construction of canals and
the erection of costly buildings in our
great cities, and we do not regret it.
We now ask, in the name of justice, that
national aid be granted for the improve
ment of highways. This involves the
establishment of no new policy, but the
extension of the former one. We ask
the loyal support of those who have been
benefited by our contribution to other
public matters to which have referred.
believe the farmers of the nation. rep
resenting more than third of our pop
ulation, are practically unanimous in
favor of such movement and will give
1t their unqualified support"

Baltimore Family's Experience Points a
Moral to Residents of Woodbury..
The visitor to Baltimore to-day scarcely
realizes that less than year ago the city
was almost DESTROYED by memorable fire.
A similar comparison might be made by
G orge w. Nally, one of the leading citi-
zens of Baltimore, as to the change in his
own looks.
A short time ago Mr.. Nally. writing
from his home addresses, 22l3 Barclay St,
says, ~ have been troubled for years with
catarrh and had resorted to all remedies
that could be thought Of. My wife was
also afflicted with this terrible disease, but
all the treatments we used were an absolute
failure until we tried Hyomei 1t worked
like charm and has made complete cure
in both OF our cases.
J. w Merritt, the local agent for Hyo-
mel, has so much faith in the treatment
that he gives his personal guarantee to re-
fund the money in case it does not benefit
A complete outfit costs one dollar, the extra
bottles are but fifty cents. Ask to see the
strong guarantee under which Hyomei is
sold.
