The Color Of Gold.

Few people know the real color OF
gold, because it IS seldom seer exctp'
when heavily alleged, which makes it
much redder than when it is pure.
The Philadelphia Inquire says;
''The purest coins ever made where the
$50 pieces which once were IN common
use in California. Their coinage was
abandoned because the loss by abrasion
was so great and because their interior
could be Bored out and filed with lead
They were octagonal in shape and were
the most valuable coins ever minted
and circulated, All gold is not alike
when refined. Australian gold is
distinctly redder than that taken in
California. Moreover, placer gold is
more yellow than that which is taken
from quartz. This is one of the mys.
teries of metallurgy, because the gold
in placers comes from that which is in
quartz. The gold in the Ural noun
tains IS the reddest in the world"

Can The Fat 10 Milk Be Increased By
Feeding.
"a Weekly Agricultural letter.

"a Weekly Agricultural letter.
Again the old question. When will
it be settledP Soon, we hope, If it is
not already settled. Many experiments
have been made by our best
Investigators. Some tried to increase
the fat by content OF feeding fat
forming foods such as corn, fax
meal, and sweet stuff, while others
tried it by feeding fat in the form OF
tallow, cotton seed oil, corn oil, caeoa
nut oil and s~tearin, but with the same
result, no real increase IN the percent
Of fat given by the animal 10
Germany some chemicals have been
fed but With similar results. Not.
w~ithstauding all these attempts and
failures Of the country's best men to
increase the percent OF fat in milk the
common farmer stoutly maintained
that fat could be fed into milk and
that simply by liberal feeding Of rich
foods. They claimed that the tests
were not fair ones because the COWS
experimental on had already been ted
to their maximum.
To test this popular theory, Cornell
University Of Ithiea, n. Y, which
institution has ali along taken a lively
interest in this matter set about to find
a fair sized herd of cows which had
for years been very poorly fed. such
was not very hard TO find. The
experiment commenced IN the spring
of 1900 at which time The University
secured permission to test ten of the
average COWS on a near by farm and
keep account OF tue feed eaten. The
farmer, the while, feeding as he had in
the past very spariugly.
At the end of one year the herd Of
ten COWS was taken to the College
farm and fed ali they would eat OF rich
foods without any regard to the
economy of such practice. At the end
of the second year the cows were cul
down on the food, still being fec
literally but not ex~lravagautly. This
continued for another year when the
COWS were again returned to the
farmer and to the slim fare that had
been theirs before the test started.
Here they renamed under tie
observation OF the University
authorities for the fourth year. The
cows were kept wrh the regular
working herd both at the farm and al
the college. Ten COWS for four years
makes an excellent test.
Please bear in mind that the mair
object Of this experiment was tC
determine whether or not very liberia.
feeding Of a cow that had previously
been very poorly fed would increase
the per cent Of fat in her milk. While
doing this, however, they kept careful.
record Of the total quantity of milk
and fat given of the amount Of fooC
eaten to produce it. The liable below
shows the findings.
