THAT TROLLEY AGITATION.

AGAIN Sussex and Kent counties are showing
a symptoms of becoming agow over the
trolley agitation. This man and That man and
the other man will grdle the counties with troll
Icy lines We have been hearing OF these vari-
ous schemes for years, but SO far none has
amounted to anything. The truth OF the situa-
tion is that when Nhe building OF a trolley line
10 the various points in those counties, is viewed
by business men as good prospect and when
the probable traffic will justify the construction
Of the roads they will be built. There is al
ways plenty of capital ready for such enterprises
The lower counties will have their trolleys
when business men are convinced that they
would be paying investments. In the meantime
the talk can be continued 1t will do no harm
and it may furnish some amusement SO far
trolley lines in those regions have been fan
tasy. We hope they may become a realization
The talk of promoters is not the only thing ne
cessary to build these lines.

A Great Year for Barley

No crop is so uniformly good as bar
ley this year. In fact there is no
poor barley, and the farmer who has
a good acreage of it is fortunate.
Barley has been a profitable crop for
a number of years, paying vastly. bet
ter than wheat, the most Improbable
crop Of all. If the early harvest
weather proves dry so that this great
barley crop can be stacked %unstained
it will be fortunate. Most barley is
cut with the binder, and much
threshed out of the shock, but as few
can get a machine in time it has to
be stacked to prevent stain just as
0 as it is safe to do it. If stacked
before thoroughly dry it stains in the
stack by heating.

A Washington county, Iowa, SUBJ
scriber writes: "What percentage Of

what per cent of butter fat should it

not understand the butter fat prob

the creamery, but we churned the

weighing the butter, and secured 81

butter fat is a variable quantity with
in certain limits. In addition to the
butter fat butter contains water, salt,
and some casein. Butter usually con-
tains 50 to IS per cent butter fat.
Experience in this state indicates
that the amount of butter will exceed
the amount OF butter fat in the cream

butter-makers call the over-run. Just
what u correspondents cream from

should test in butter fat we cannot
tell, because we have no means of
knowing how much water was in the

safe in saying, however, that it ought
to have tested more than 20 per cent

more than 40 per cent for that mat
