The Thermometer.

The thermometer is an article that
every buttermaker should have, wheth-
er he is making butter at home or in
factory. Yet many Of the thermom-
eters purchased are far from reliable.
We remember that some years ago
an Eastern firm sent out a large num-
Der Of thermometers as prizes. The
writer had one and tried to read the
weather by it. But he finally discov-
cred that the mercury bulb was i'm
perfect or not correctly graduated, for
the readings were certainly more than
twenty degrees out of the way. This
is very bad, but frequently thermome-
ters are two, three or four degrees
out Of the way and their owners do
not discover the fact This is more
likely TO be the case where the man
has but one thermometer. If he has
several he is about sure to notice that
there is a marked difference in the
readings and begin an investigation.
One good way of telling the correct
ness of thermometer is to place the
bulb under the tongue. If the person
doing this is healthy and not unduly
excited the thermometer should regis
ter 9S degrees. If it registers more or
less something is wrong. either with
the thermometer or with the person
making the test. Thermometers do
not cost much, and it will pay to buy
several when making the purchase of
one. Then in case of breaking one,
there is always another that may be
placed in service.

The Exact Food Required.

1t has been well demonstrated with
our animals receive far more food
than they require or than they can
use to advantage. AS a result some
OF our skillful feeders have cut down
the grain they were feeding to steers
five pounds and found they got as good
results. We have taken it for granted
that the more feed the animals ate
the better it was for them. and the
more force they were developing for
their various needs AS well assert
that it makes no difference how much
fuel we use to do a certain amount of
cooking. We know that in that case
vast amount of fuel can be absolutely
wasted. One man that had a large
number of stock to feed figured out
the saving to himself in the feeding of
oats. He made his figures on a hun
dred head Of animals and with oats
at 40 cents per bushel. By feeding
just the amount of oats required he
saved one pound per head per day
over what he had been accustomed to
feed. This meant 100 pounds per day
for all the animals, 3G5 pounds a
year per animal and 3650O pounds Of
oats during the year. This weight OF
oats, at SO pounds to the bushel, was
worth $456. That was pretty good pay
for little expenditure of thought. A
little figuring and observation did the
work.

that if they will buy Defiance Cold

will save not only time, because 1t

Disinfeeting Curing Rooms.

Canadians that have charge Of mum.
bers Of curing rooms follow the prac
tice Of washing the shelves with some
disinfectant before putting on each
batch Of cheese. Both formalin and
corrosive sublimate are used. The
formalin is used at a strength of one
part Of formalin to ten Of water and
the corrosive sublimate at tho rate
of one part of the poison to 1000 OF
water by weight. The formalin is
certainly less dangerous than the
other. The object of the treatment
Is to prevent the development Of mold
spores, which make SO much trouble
in many Of the places where cheese

GERMANY TO BUILD
A SAUSAGE FACTORY
Prussian Government Decides to Supply
the Kaiser's Soldiers With
This Meat.

The Prussian government has decided
to establish its own sausage factory for
the supply of the army. and as the army
is nearly all of Germany the sausage
output will be nearly under government
control. The avowed object OF this move
IS 10 see that only wholesome meat goes
into the saUsages.
The only reason assigned for this rad
ical step on the part OF the Prussian
military authorities Is a desire to insure
clean sauSages. In his letter to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor Con-
sular Agent Southland Parker Warner.
OF Gera, indicates that the real reason
is that Germany is determined 10 have
the best army in the world, physically
as well as otherwise. and therefore pUr-
poses to insure healthy food This Is
