The Pipette and Test Bottle.

A good many of our readers are
using the Babcock tester. To such we
would say, BE careful as to the cor.
rectness of the pipette; as a variation
in the gradations of this may result
in rendering the test of no value at
all. For many years this matter has
been discussed, and in some of the
states laws have been passed in an
attempt to regulate it. It has been
decreed that every creamery should
provide itself with oipette approved
by the state, this pipette to be used
to test all the others. But a good
many creameries paid no attention to
the law and others bought the pi.
pettes and laid them away carefully.
1t was easier to assume that the pi-
pettes bought from the commercial
houses were right than to find ou- by
testing them. But to the man that
purchases a tester for the sake of
finding out what his cows are doing
this carelessness will not be passed
by in silence. He has his own inter
ests to act as spur to make him
careful. One of the common methods
of testing bottles is to make the tests
and then compare the results from
the different bottles or pipettes. II
all agree it is quite safe to assume
that the pipettes and bottles are cor.
rect. This does not, however, neces.
sarily follow; for the reason all of the
pipettes and bottles may have come
from the same mandatory and been
all made wrong. On the test bottles
the neck from to 10 should contain
two cubic centimeters Of liquid, and
the pipette should have capacity OF
17.6 cubic centimeters. Where posi-
BILE it is best to send to the state ex'
pertinent station and get sample bot
ties and pipettes known to be accu
rate.-Farmers' Review.

Drainage from Creameries.

The drainage from creameries often
becomes source of much annoyance
to people living in the vicinity. The
drains become foul with decaying
casein and other refuse. AS most OF
our readers are aware, putrid sour
milk has not the smell of roses. Resi-
dents in the neighborhood of such
bitches make complaint at the nui.
sance, while the cattle and other stock
that are in the habit Of drinking at
the brooks refuse to take the water.
Some creameries undertake to remedy
matters by running sewers for long
distance to some brook that Is at a
considerable distance from houses,
but even in such cases some Of the
Objectionable features remain. This
may be remedied by the building OF
large tanks that will receive from
5000 to 5000 gallons of the drainage
material at time. These tanks can
be constructed SO that the water in
them will gradually run off but the
tank will be kept nearly full at all
times. In effect, this is septic tank.
It should be kept closed at the top,
so that the air will not nave free
access to the tank. The result will
be that the casein in the slop will
largely rise to the top and form a
scum. In this the bacteria of kind
that do not use air will work and
destroy all the organic matter, precip-
itating the ash only. Tho water then
flows away clear without odor and
can be allowed to run into any brook
without suspicion of polluting it.

was q time when this matter vas re.
cstving so much attention as at the
present time. Yet In the matter OF
milk powder we have made no revo.
lutionary discoveries. The making or
milk flour has been followed for some
years and this -four Is now an article
of commerce. The men that put out
the new processes claim to have dis
covered some way Of making powder
that will quickly turn back into fresh
milk. On the investigation OF any
one of these powders it is discovered
not to have this valuable property.
A report from Germany says that an
investigation into milk powders IN
that country shows that they fall far
short of the mark and will not change
back into milk but do change into a
liquid that has sediment and Is little
like milk.

Wisconsin Buttermaking.

Prof. J. G. Moore, after an inspec.
tion of Wisconsin creameries, says:
The methods of making butter are
by no means uniform. Some butter
makers have success with high tenn
perature in ripening; others with low
temperature. The conditions at each
creamery have to determine for the
buttermaker what plan he will pursue
to get the best results, as it Is mani
testify impossible for maker to prac'
tice high ripening temperature unless
he has ice or some other means at his
command to control the temperature
at will. However, more important
than methods of making, to my mind,
is the factor of cleanliness both In
the handling Of the machinery in the
factory and in the care Of the milk
by patrons. The pumps and pipes
through which the milk passes should
be cleaned much oftener than they are
and to this one cause great deal
of off favored butter can be traced.
The gates to the milk and cream watts,
too, are liable to become contaminated
and prove lively source of bad flaw
ors. Churns are usually kept clean,
although not always, as l have had
frequently to clean churns this last
summer. The reason for this Is in a
good many cases due more to ignor.
ance than a deliberate desire to be
dirty. There is more of a chance
however, to reach the slovenly maker
than there is to impress the average
patron with his shortcomings. In look
ing over the cans brought to factory
it is rather a delicate task for the
maker to tell man that his cans are
dirty and his milk impure. Not only
from the fact that he will incur his
enmity, but that he will no doubt be
told that If he does not want to take
his milk in, there are other cream
cries where they will be glad to take
| it, and this is too much the case and
where a creamery is getting hardly
enough milk to pay expenses the loss
of a patron or two is keenly felt.

Buy a Thermometer.

We have often advised our readers
that make butter to buy a thermom'
eter, whether they are engaged IN
making butter on large or slnali
scale. In fact, they should purchase
number of thermometers, as they
are frequently broken, and cost ou.
little. In getting them, however !.
Is best to be careful and get goou
ones, as there are many on the mar.
ket that are carelessly made anu
will not give correct results wnen
used. A large number of agents sha'
have thermometers handle only ex'
ceedingly cheap makes with the oo'
ject Of making as much money as
possible out of them. If the farmer
tries to buy dairy" thermometer
from them he will be told that they
do not know anything about sucn
thermometers and never handle them.
Perhaps they will refer to a catalogue
and show an expensive thermometer
made on an elaborate scale. Inc
writer had this experience in trying
to get thermometer in Chicago.
Most Of the stores visited had Their
mometers. but not of the kind de-
sired. One or two had thermometers
made for floating around in liquid, put
costing more than they were worth
for practical use. At last one place
was found that had dairy thermome'
tiers that sold at rs cents each anu
which proved entirely reliable. A dol
lar thermometer is as likely to be
broken as twenty-five cent thermom'
eter, and this is contingency that
must be provided for
The buttermaker of the past seldom
or never used a thermometer and as
result made very uneven lot Of
butter, taking one make with another
1t is certain that no scientific butter
maker now ever thinks of making but
ter without learning the temperature
of his cream. There is nothing that
can be relied on to give this tenn
perature record but the instrument
created for the purpose.
