THE POPULAR VOTE

A canvass of the popular vote
of the late presidential election
has been made by the New York
Times, only four counties in the
whole country being incomplete.
In this it appears that President
Roosevelt defeated Judge Parker
by 2,546,169 He polled the
largest vote ever given for a
President of the United States,
7,640, $50. This is more ii al
400, 900 in excess of the vote cast
for Mckinley in 1900.
A comparison with the popular
vote table of1900 shows a marked
change in the Socialist vote.

that year, was also the candidate
this year, and his vote shows an
increase of more than 300, 900.

The Thermometer.

The thermometer is an article that
every buttermaker should hare, wheth-
er he is making butter at home or In
a factory Yet many of the thermom-
eters purchased are far from reliable,
We remember that some years ago
an Eastern firm sent out 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 inn
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-
tiers 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 II 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 a thermometer is to place the
bulb under the tongue. II the person
doing this Is healthy and not unduly
excited the thermometer should regis
ter 98 degrees. II 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 1t 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.

M. Mortensen, in an address to lows
dairymen, said: The hand separator
system has undoubtedly within the
last few years tended toward lowering
the quality Of butter This is not be
cause the hand separator system is
wrong, but because that system is still.
in its infancy and the methods EN-
ployed by the hand separator factories
need Improvement. Similar difficulties
were observed the first few years after
the factory separator was introduced
but soon the factory system was
found to be superior to the old sys
TEN, and the hand separator system
has already proven to have severa'
advantages over any Of the previous
systems.
When the hand separators were firsi
introduced there were several of theii
agents that advocated washing Of
their separator once a day or once
every other day. These represents
tiyes have nearly all disappeared by
this time, which is a blessing to the
dairy industry, as such men were moi
only disgrace to the firm they repre-
scented, but they we're trying to teal
down that splendid reputation which
the Iowa butter has and which 1t has
taken so many years to establish. 4
cream separator, 1t matters moi
whether it is a factory or farm ma
chine, and all dairy utensils used in
connection herewith, must be thor
oughly cleaned each time they have
been used, and if this rule is not fol
lowed, then the quality is going tc
suffer This has been fully demon
strated by the bacteriologists as vel
as by the practical creanerymeL.

keep up the MIIk F!ow.

Now is the time Of year to look
carefully after the milk flow and see
that 1t does not materially fall off.
Every dairyman knows that when a
COW. is allowed, through lack of sue
culent food, to fall off in her milk, it
is impossible to again bring her back
to the original flow, no matter how
bountifully she is fed. Even II the
food costs more than the milk during
the summer drouth. It is best to keep
III up If it is intended to milk the
COW through the fall and winter. TO
allow the milk yield to run down is
to court double loss. The loss of
the milk is something. but If the milk
is going to a creamery that is cooper
alive in any phase tlae q eAed sup
ply from all the patrpns will increase
propQrtionately the cost Of making
butter and thus force further loss on
the patron. Unfortunately on most OF
our farms 1t is looked upon as the
regular thing to have the cows fall
of in their milk at this time Of year,
and nothing Is done to prevent it.
This not doing anything is the hardest
thing to overcome when we are trying
to induce the adoption of methods
that will insure the continuation OF
the flow of milk during early summer
through the hot weather. This is q
hard period for our creamery men, but
the loss always gets back to the farm
ers in the end. This should be re
