In no other industry has there been
greater progress during the last few
years than in dairying, says M. Nor
Jensen. The methods employed by
buttermakers ten years ago Will now
not be recognized by any up-to-date
buttermaker. The machinery Is diff
ferent. The buttermaker who at that
time was generally chosen from the
ordinary walks of life is now a man
who has attended school for perfect
ing himself In his profession. Some
years ago one of the leading questions
at the convention was, how to avoid
notifies. 1nis is thing not frequent
ly spoken of to-day. The buttermaker
as rule now understands the me-
chanical part of ALTERNATING to such
an extent that he knows how to pre-
vent notifies. The question OF most
importance now is how to make a
high and uniform grade of butter pos
sessing keeping qualities. We do not
aim to make the kind of butter that
used to win sweepstakes few years
ago as that did not very often possess
keeping qualities. The butter now in
highest demands is quite different
from our fancy butter of few years
ago.

shesrIno of Worlds Fair Sheep.

A rule having an important bearing
upon the shearing of sheep to be ex
hibited at the Worlds Fair at st.
Louis has been announced by the
chief Of the Department of Live Stock
as follows. GftAll sheep and goats
mustnhave been evenly, closely and
properly shorn on or after the first
day of April, 1904. and the date of the
shearing must be certified on the APP
plication for entry. Sheep or goats un'
evenly or stubble shorn or that have
oeen clipped to conceal defects or to
mislead will not be allowed to COM
| compes >. teaxe shall disquaiify, for
BY hln avn sn Been p l sSss sss@s,
stubble shorn or with its fleece other
wise treated for purposes of fraud or
deception"
The question of shearing in connec-
ton with the exhibition of sheep has
been vexed one at fairs and exposi-
tons for a long time. A draft of a
rule was sent to prominent breeders
and authorities with the request for
suggestions as to the best form. The
customs prevailing In other countries
and made legitimate through climatic
or other conditions, although perhaps
not common with sheep breeders in
the United States, have been fully
taken into account. The experiences
of previous fairs and the necessity OF
avoiding an unenforceable regulation
were considered. The rule determined
upon is intended to enforce only such
restrictions as will secure deserved
awards.

The Creamery Ice House.

Where ice cannot be secured from
ice companies 1t is necessary to have
an ice house in connection with
creamery. The dimensions of the ice
house depends ON the purpose and
capacity of the creamery. Ordi-
narily an ice house of $50 tons
capacity is ample for a cream
cry handling from 5000 to 10000
pounds of milk day. AS cubic foot
of ice weighs fifty-fve pounds, an APP
proximate estimate can be made from
this for the conditions in this latitude.
An ice house may be built OF single
or double walls, depending upon the
ease and cheapness with which Ice can
be secured in winter. 1t is not gen.
orally advisable to have an Ice house
olreclly connected with the creamery
building, but it should be located close
by, in order to save labor in getting
ice.-Oscar Err.

Sweet Skimmllk.

There is no better ration for the
calf than sweet skimmilk. After the
calf has been weaned II still has
craving for the kind OF food that ma
ture provided for 1t. The feeding OF
nearly sour milk has been practiced,
and the feeding OF whey, but we are
sure that the calf has no particular
liking for that kind of food. Unuer
modern methods OF dairying 1t Is pos
sible on many farms to have the sKim'
milk sweet. Where hand separators
are used, of course It is an easy mat
ter to have milk of the kind we have
indicated. Even where the milk has 10

creamery. II 1t is not, he has himsen

| about It, IL II Is the creamery, ne
should take the matter In hand at
once. In many cases II is the fault
of the other patrons of the creamery,
IL the skimmilk is sour when the
farmer gets home with 1t. The said
other patrons have got into the haolt
of hauling to the creamery milk tnat
is sour or nearly so. Perhaps they
are "every-other-day" men. The milk
they bring is skinned and OF course
tho skinned milk goes into the tank
from which each man draws the skim
milk to which he is entitled. Inc
sour or nearly sour milk thus mixed
with the other and better milk acts as
a starter and sets the whole to sour
ing. All the farmers on returning 10
their homes from such creamery
find the milk sour. This Is a matter
they should look into. There Is no
reason why all should allow them
selves to be injured by the few.
Sometimes the farmer is himself to
blame in not having his cans In proper
shape for the reception OF the milk
at the creamery. 1t may be that he
himself is bringing milk in cans thai

Why MIX Varies In Fat.


At most of our creameries the man.
ayers have settled down to the COM
posite test as the one that is truly
reliable. The test of cows milk
for any one milking or even for any
one day rarely shows what kind OF q
COW she really is The fat production
through long series Of days Is very
uniform, but 1t is constantly varying
from milking to milking and from day
to day. The COW has some power OF
holding up her milk and she seems TO
have still greater power of holding
up the fat that goes into the milk,
though she doubtless is all the time
manufacturing 1t. 1t is evident that
IL by some undiscovered power she
holds back part of the fat at one
milk at the next, and this produces
milking she must let 1t go into the
remarkable variations in the test as
made at the creamery from day to
day. When all things go well the
COW goes right along chewing her cud
and making milk and butter fat. In
such state the production of fat as
well as milk is about uniform. But
III anything comes In 10 disturb ner
the effect is quickly seen in the milk.
The things that can enter into the
disturbance of the milk producing
process of the COW are too numerous
to be mentioned here. Among these
may be mentioned fright induced from
any cause. Sometimes there Is bat
tie between the cows. sometimes a
new COW enters the herd and her COM
ing is seen in the lessened milk sup
ply at the next milking. Sometimes
the mixers lose their tempers and
abuse the cows. We have seen a COW
that had been Kicked by mixer hold
up her milk so that none could be
drawn for hours. These things must
be avoided IL we are to get uniform
quantity and quality Of milk.

.
Mrs. Allen was in an adjoining room
reading to Mrs. Green. Mrs. Green
was a woman one could love at
glance and love always; her sweet old
face was flushed with pink, her brown
eyes were soft and gentle, her silken
white hair was brushed in waves back
from her face and softened by cap
of lace; her voice was what a woman's
voice should be, sweet but firm, low
but perfectly modulated She took
Dolores right into her motherly heart,
knowing every word of her history
so far as her son knew II, knowing,
too, without being told, that this was
the girl her son loved. And the slen-
der. silent girl seemed to melt toward
her as toward no one else, though at
first It was very bitter this having to
accept hospitality from the mother of
the man who had been so wronged.
She had been forced to accept the
hospitality of his mother-been forced
and with no excuse to place the ac-
ceptance out of the question, because
there was no excuse she could offer
when they took her father from the
little house, bearing him carefully to
the carriage waiting for him at the
gate. soft with cushions and pillows of

thirty miles below the town down the
valley, with Doctors Dunwiddie and
Grey and her uncle. They had every
thing that money could buy to gain
comfort for him. A car was reserved
for him on the train; everything abb
solutely was done that could be for
his comfort. And then they had
forced upon her the acceptance OF this
hospitality.

back on the cushioned sofa, her soft
hands folded in. her lap at this her

NO difference In the friendship be-
tween this girl and the son of their
host. And as she could not win Dora
from her cousin she could at least
make this stupid girl feel some of the
bitterness she held In her own heart.
That, at least, was worth planning
for. She was SO deeply buried In
these thoughts that she started ner-

girls In her soft, low voice.
