BUTTER FAT OVFRRUN
An Authority Says Not
Safe to Guarantee Is
per cent

How much the overrun of butter fat
ought to be on an average has been a
bone of contention around here for
some time past, says the Long Prairie
Democrat. It has been claimed by
some OF the cooperative creamerymen
that an overrun of II or 10 per cent is
p osslble and still give a correct test.
Private creamerymen have argued
that even 16 per cent was high aver
age If the test be an honest one. Our
attention has been called to an article
from Hoard's lairyman, written by
an authority, covering this point,
which may be of interest. Prof. E. 81.
Harrington, in replying to Wiscon-
sin buttermaker, writes as follows:
"A man has recently purchased a
creamery and hired me to make but
ter for him. He wants me to guaran-
tee extras in quality aud I am willing
to do so, but he wants me to guaran-
tee him an overrun Of 16 to II per
cent the year around never making
butter in which the overrun is less
than this. Is there any way Of doing
this without cutting the patron s test.
And is a creamery allowed to do such
thing as that?-* 4 4 Knowles, Wis.
Answer-It is impossible to guaran.
tee any definite overrun-that is, with
in or 3 per cent each time butter Is
made. A buttermaker would not be
safe in agreeing to make butter in
which the overrun should always be
over 10 per cent, but an account of the
uncertainty in regard to exact amount
of water that is mixed with each
churning of butter. it is impossible
for any man to say that he can make
butter every churning of which shall
give 10 or more per cent overrun.
The overrun very often is as high as
Is or II per cent, and may sometimes
be more than this, but If it is, either
the butter is so wet that the brine
leaks from the package, or the milk
from which the butter is made has
been tested too low.
The overrun represents the differ
ence between the weight OF butter
made and the weight of butterfat
found in the test. An excessi1 Q over
run isfrom low testing and Iwould not
advise any one to accept position
where he is expected to record any
thing but the actual results obtained
by the test, when the testing is done
to the best of his ability. It an over
run of much more than 16 per cent is
reported, the indications are that
either the milk has not been accurate
~ tested, or an excessive amount of
water has been incorporated In the
butter.

LANDS BY. LOTTERY
Indian Reservations will
be Opened i'm New Man. -
ner

VI 4e91sia'1on enacted by the recent
opening to settlement lands in several
Indian reservations in the Northwest.
says a Washington telegram to the
Minneapolis Tribune.
It will be necessary for applicants
for lands in these reservations to req
lister their names with government
officials appointed to conduct the
draw WING - 7:===se
I'm the sixty DAYS after the opening
Of the reservation the lucky seekers
for homes, determined by lots, will
have the chance to select the land
they want.
In this way they will be protected
from the wild scramble which has
characterized the free home entry
plan In the past.
Commissioner Richards stated to
your correspondent that there are
notable advantages in the lottery
plan. 1t not only determines the or
der OF choice, but keeps record of
the people who have entered the new
lands and how much they owe the
government for the land they have
taken.
The reservation lands to be disposed
OF this time are not to be opened to
the public free Of charge, as was done
in the Oklahoma and other openings
several years ago, but will be sold at
a fixed charge.
The following facts show, in brief,
the opportunity for the homeseekers
and that they must have money to get
started this time, instead of dash and
daring, as before.
Red Lake reservation, Minnesota,
400, 600 acres, opened In July.
Rosebud reservation, South Dakota.
416, 600 acres at So an acre; opened in
July.
Lands to be opened in Montana,
II, 600, 600 acres, to be sold at $1.25 al
acre; limit for any one entry, e4t
acres; opened in August.
Devils Lake reservation, North d.
kota, >104. 416 acres; most fertile land
in that section of the Northwest :;
81. 30 an acre: opened in July.
Officials Of the ssinterior department
who will have general direction Of
the lottery plans execution are conf
dent that the coming drawings will
prove more successful and satisfactor
to everyone concerned than have
any Of the past attempts of the gov
eminent to help along the home
seekers Of the United States.
Previous attempts to distribute free
lands have been attended by the
greatest disorder and sometimes loss
of lives. The Oklahoma opening was
the focal point Of nearly 200, 600 ad-
venturous people, most of them try
ing to get something for nothing
with the idea of disposine Of it as
coon as they could realize anything on
it. BY the new plan 1t is hoped to
obviate all these difficulties.
Every applicant must be registered
before he draws. When he draw
number and goes to select his land,
he must pay fixed price an acre for
all he wants to take up. Having done
that, he will be protected in his rights
by the government by civil law in
all cases.

Matthews. who has known Sears from

the prisoner was Sears or not. Sears had
black hair and a freckled face, and might
readily be taken for a white man. The
man in custody at the jail has brownisl
hair and deep tan. This change might
have been brought about by exposure to
the sun, as the prisoner, by his own ac-
count of himself, has for year or two
been following the calling of a fisher
man. IL every other detail the prisoner

The fact that North Carolina has one
man here who is serving his fourth term
and has so far no opposition for the fifth
nomination and three others serving their
third terms and likely to be renominated
for the fourth terms without opposition,
except Mr. Kluttz. who has signified his
intention to retire TO private life. argues
very strongly that the people OF North
Carolina are coming to understand this
fact, that length OF service means not so
much the growing into places of power
for her sons as widening of the influ-
ence Of the Commonwealth. Only the
best men. honest and. conscientious workers
should he kept in Congress for longer
than one term The founders of the Re
public were wise in fixing the term of
Representatives at two wears so that
they might review frequently the conduct
of their servants. When they have been
faithful t. their trust, thew should be
retained In service. not so much to honor
them but. according to the Eastern and
Western idea because the very term Of
their service has become valuable asset
to their state.
John Sharp Williams will not tell me
just what he thinks the next Congress
viii have for the present North Carolina
delegation. but he does say that he is
greatly gratified that the same men will
be here and that the additional service
will place them in position to receive the
honors due men Of long service because
their influence viii have ripened so as
TO bring forth great fruit for their moth
or state.
