Value of the Separator.

One of our dairy friends has been
Swimming his milk at home by hand
and satisfied himself that not enough
butter fat was left in 1T to give even
a smell of butter, says Field and Farm.

rator challenged him to bring sample
of his skim milk for analysis, and the
test showed that per cent OF butter

that milk had been fed to calves ana
pigs. This is expensive pig-feeding and
proved an eye-opener. The human

Guessing in Business.

Sometime ago the president, OF the
Great Northern railroad tolls the
interstate commerce commission
that the railroad rates are fixed by
guess, and not automatically; and
that the guessing is done by clerks,
and not by men of the wonderful
experience and ability who are said
bv the railroad people to DE neces-
sary to the intelligent making OF
rates.

Evapcratsd Cream Fraud.

In some recent Investigations by gov
eminent experts, the manufacturers OF
condensed milk are hit very hard, and
they are vigorously protesting against
the proposed definition OF eyaporated
cream When these timed heifer men
were unable to deny that they were ac-
customed to apply the name eyaporated
cream to what in reality was condensed
milk, or perhaps skim milk, they plead
the trade custom of twenty years as
reason why the fraud should go on
forever. These men received no COM
fort whatever from the committee,
which will recommend that evaporated
cream in interstate commerce shall &C
tually be that which it's name implies
it is.

Effects Of Feed on Butter.

The spreading quality OF butter IS a
strong factor in increasing or decreas-
ing it's consumption No one likes 1T
soft and oily, and butter should be
firm, with good body. Bran has ten
dency to soften butter slightly and oats
to harden it. Roughness does not have
as strong an influence on the hrmness
Of the butter as grain, but still it has
considerable. Alfalfa has tendency
to soften the butter, prairie hay, timo-
thy and corn fodder to make it hard.
An excess of linseed, gluten or soy
bean meals will make butter soft, no
matter what the weather may be, while
corn, kafir corn and cottonseed meal
hardens butter.
