BUTTER FAT IN MILK.

The contention that the butter fat
of milk lies in the quality of food
given to COWS seems to be conclusive
ly disproved. 1t depends on the COW
and not the feed, otherwise any In
different COW, scrub or ANY old thing
might be made a good butter COW by
enough good feeding. But this is not
SO. The New York station has gone
pretty we'll to the bottom OF this mat
ter, and here are the facts from re-
cent bulletin: A COW fed during ninety
five days on a ration from which the
fat had been nearly all extracted con-
tinued to secrete milk similar to that
produced when fed on the same kind
of hay and grain in their normal con-
dition. The yield of milk fat during
the ninety-five days was 62.9 pounds.
The food eaten during this time was
11.6 pounds, 81 only OF which was dl-
gested, consequently, at least 51.2
pounds of the milk fat must have had
some other source than the food fat
The milk fat could not have come
from previously stored body fat. This
assertion is supported by three con
siderations: First, the cows body
could have contained scarcely more
than sixty pounds of fat at the be-
ginning of the experiment; second,
she gained forty-seven pounds in body
weight during this period of time
with no increase of body nitrogen. and
was judged to be much fatter COW
at the end; third, the formation Of
this quantity CT milk fat would have
caused a marked condition of eman-
citation, which, because OF an increase
in the body weight, would have re-
quired the improbable increase in the
body of 104 pounds Of water and In
testinal contents. During tifty-nine
consecutive days 3SS pounds of milk
fat were secreted, and the urine nj
trogen was equivalent 10 3S.3 pounds
of protein. According 10 any accept
ed method of Interpretation. not over
seventeen pounds Of fat could have
been produced from this amount OF
metabolized protein. This quantity of
milk secreted bore a definite relation
neither 10 the in-.gestible protein
eaten Eor to the extent of the protein
metabolized. In view OF these facts
it is suggested that the well-known
favorable effect upon milk secretion
of a narrow nutritive ratio is due in
part to a stimulative, and not only to
a constructive, function of the pro-
TEN. The composition of the milk
bore no definite relation to the
amount AID kind of food. The
changes in the proportion Of milk
solids were due almost wholly to
changes in the percentage of fat.

THE CHICAGO WoMAN's CLUB

For one thing, it did away with child
labor in the State. Eight years ago,
although Illinois was the third manu-
featuring State in the Union, its child
labor laws were disgrace. Hull House
bore the brunt of the fight which put
proper 1e1islation on the statute books,
hut it was the Woman's Club which made
the fight possible. The Woman,s Club
was instrumental in organizing the nrst
Juvenile Court in America. Formerly
children even of 8 and 10 years were
tried in the same dock and in accordance
with the same standards of justice as
hardened criminals. Now every year
1000 BOYS and girls who have broken
the law Technically called delinquent)
pass under the jurisdiction OF this special
court. and the court establishes guar
dianship over a thousand more who are
homeless or without proper care (techni-
cally called dependency. One who
watches a single session of the Juvenile
Court has the belief forced upon him
that it does more to reduce crime In
the CITY than any dozen of the Other
courts together. The city owes to the
Woman's Club the beginning OF the
agitation for the system OF small parks
which now distinguish Chicago. The
vacation school movement also was due
to the efforts of the Woman's Club

An Old Painters Ideas.

The Autumn season is coming
more and more to be recognized as
most suitable time for house paint
ing.
There is no frost deep in the wood
to make trouble. for even the best job
Of painting, and the general season
1ng of the Summer has put the WOOD
into good condition in every way.
The weather, moreover, is more like
" to be settled for the necessary
length of time to allow all the coats
to thoroughly dry-a very Important
precaution.
An old and successful painter said
to the writer the other day:
House owners would get more
for their money if they would allow
their painters to take more time, es-
pecially between coats. Instead OF
allowing barely time for the surface
to get dry enough not to be 'tacky,
several days weeks would not be
too much) should be allowed so that
the coat might set through and
through. It is inconvenient, OF
course, but, If one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, it would add
two or three years to the life Of the
paint.
"All this is assuming, of course,
that the paint used is the very best
to be had-the purest of white lead
and the purest of linseed oil, I'M
mixed with any cheapener. II the
cheap mixtures, often known as
White Lead and oil which has been
doctored with fish oil, benzine, corn
oil. or other of the adulterants
known to the trade, are used, all the
precautions of the skilled painter are
useless to prevent the cracking and
peeling which make houses unsightly
in a year or so and, therefore, make
painting bills too frequent and costly.
1.-The house owner should have his
painter bring the ingredients to the
premises separately-white lead OF
some well-known, reliable brand and
linseed oil of equal quality = and
q mix the paint just before applying
it."
Painting need not be expensive and
unsatisfactory If the old painter
suggestions are followed.

10 Make coon BUTTER.

To make good butter on the farm
probably the most important thing is
to have a good healthy COW that has
been well fed A cow in poor con-
dition, badly fed, will never be able
to furnish the quantity or even quail
ity of butter-fat that is needed, and
this means a bad mistake from the
start. The milking should be nothing
but cleanliness itself. The milk
should be strained as soon as drawn,
and, if possible, the butter-fat should
be Immediately separted by means OF
a centrifugal separator. Never add
cream to other cream until it has been
properly cooled, and when added stir
the cream" together thoroughly.

A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force For the Day.

Everything goes wrong if the
breakfast lies in your stomach like
mud pie. What you eat does harm
If you can't digest tit turns to poi
son.
A bright lady teacher found this
to be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
1.-TWO years ago / contracted a
very annoying form of indigestion.
MY stomach was in such condition
that a simple breakfast of fruit, toast
and egg gave me great distress.
81 was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such simple diet,
but finally had to give it up, and
found a great change upon a cup of
Aot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. For
more than a year 1 have held to this
course, and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
ct have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest
I'd breakfast means saving of ner-
yous force for the entire day. My
gain of ten pounds in weight also
causes me to want to testify to the
value of Grape-Nuts.

FARM NOTES.

It is necessary to have some sort OF
shade for the poultry during the warm
days that we are now having.
The COWS should always be driven
quietly and at an ordinary walking
gait to and from the pasture. This
will insure the best results.
Put new straw in the hens nest
every week during warm weather. A
little coal oil applied about the cracks
now and then will keep the lice out.
The squash bugs, so troublesome in
many cases, are said to be headed OH
with coal tar A quart of this is to
be well mixed with peck OF sand or
loang soil and the mixture sprinkled
around the plants. The smell keeps
the bugs away This may need to be
repeated at intervals.
Do not allow the milk cans to re-
main in stables while they are being
filled, and avoid contamination of the
milk bacteria.
Remove manure as far from the
cow stable as possible, and above all
things do not use musty or dirty lit
ter for bedding.
1t is said that one pound of oyster
shells will furnish lime for the shells
of about seven dozen eggs. 1t costs
one cent per pound.
When the hens eat eggs they are in
need of shell material Get all the
shells you can and feed them, ana
they will soon quit eating good eggs.
The farmer who adopts a wise ro-
tation of crops, who raises upon the
farm the products for the support OF
his stock and his family, who seeks
to increase his stock of manure from
every available source, applying II
back to his land, will not likely COM
plain of his farm running down.
In keeping a horse fat there is as
much in the driver as in the feed.
The farmer should know how to do
his work to the best advantage.
Vermin cause the hens to pick their
feathers and otherwise to be restless.
The spray pump and disinfectants
should be used freely around the pig
pens.
Healthy and vigorous pigs are the
only ones that have any chance TO
withstand cholera infection.
Loss of flesh and shrinkage OF milk
follows neglect, and starvation FOL
lows rations of improper food
The way some people refuse to use
whitewash in the poultry house would
indicate that it was expensive.
1t is wonderful how many people
there are to be found who still per-

unless the seed is put into the SOIL
when the sign is just right.
With dairy COWS, as with othei
stock, a change of feed is necessary,
both as contributing to the general
health of the animal and as a means
of stimulating the digestive organs,
and thus increasing the secretion OF
milk.
