WORK OF THE MILK INSPECTOR.

Mr.. Thompson Talks Interestingly on Wis
consin Curd Test.
C. S. Thompson of Winterport, the
State dairy inspector connected with
the department of agriculture, was at
the Capitol for a few hours April 4th
on his way to Winthrop. MI. Thomp-
son is now engaged in the work of max,
ing an inspection of the stores and
restaurants in the different parts OF the
State, for the purpose of ascertalnlng
if the law is being complied with In re,
gard to oleomargarine and renovated
butter. He reports finding some OF
both, but the trip this time is being
made principally for the purpose OF
calling to the law the attention of such
people as evidently do not know the
law or have not read it. He says, how
ever. that there is decided change for
the better in the amount of oleo
handled, as the number of licenses
which have been taken out i'll order to
handle it is only about half of what 1t
was last year.
Mr.. Thompson is also examining milk
in such places as he visits, with the
Wisconsin curd test, which is an en-
tireIy new method in Maine. 1t is one
of the inventions of DR.. Babcock OF the
Wisconsin station, the inventor OF the
well known Babcock test, and is con-
sidered one of the best tests on the
market. The making of the test is a
very interesting operation.
A ten-ounce jar is filled with the milk
to be tested, and placed in water of a
temperature of from 80 to 100 degrees,
after which ten drops OF rennet are
added and the milk is curdled. The
whey is then drawn off and in the bot
tom of the jar will be found the curd,
from one-half to three-fourths OF an
inch in thickness.
Milk that is pure or nearly pure gives
a firm and solid curd, while that made
from milk which contained barn dirt
viii be found, on cutting through it, to
contain large mechanical gas holes.
The curd secured from milk which
came from dirty cans, or contained DIRT
from outside the barn will be found to
be filled with small holes.
The real value of the test comes IN
the cutting of the curd and getting the
odor, as no matter what the nature OF
the dirt or foreign substance which
was contained in the milk, its smell!
can be detected the moment the curd
is cut. The test is very accurate and
the work of making it is very fasclnat-
ing.

Correspondence of The Journal
The openings have come and gone and
samples of every mode likely to be worn
have been seen by those privileged to ex-
anime the finished productions of famous
artists in the Sartorial World.
COLOR BLENDING.
A feature that is noticeable in all is the
daring blending of color, a single toilet
often showing as many tints as the spec
trum contains Usually, at least in the
more successful examples of this mode, the
coors are in soft low shades, so that there
is nothing garsh in the combinations.
HATS IN MANY SHAPES.
Hats especially show these colorings, and
if we'll chosen such trimmings are becom-
ing and make the headwear blend well
with gowns of almost any coloring. Shapes
are rather small, and perched on wide
bandeaux, the space being filled in with all
sorts of under-brim trimmings of ribbon,
maline, flowers or feathers, that rest against
the hair and are as rule most becoming.
SPRING COATS.
The separate coat for wear with different
costumes is in unusual demand this year

o,,v in extreme weather. Many of the
nrottiest ones are in "Pump" form, cut very
low and the hosiery is very much in evil
dance Fashion demands this season that
stockings and shoes should match in color,
and that the hosiery should be of the finest
texture. This is all very pretty but trying
for one's dress allowance, for the feet wear
ont long before the uppers have thought of
giving way
A NEW STOCKING
called the Ethiopian double-f0ot has been
recently brought out which solves the diff
cult problem Of having hosiery that is fine
and dainty yet gives satisfactory wear.
This new sort has not merely the heel and
oe woven double, but the whole foot ex-
cept the instep, and women are insisting on
having this sort, because they last.
MARCEL WAVES.
Marcel waving is more popular than ever,
and lust after the shampoo the hair seems
to be especially adaptable to taking on
these pretty waves. Hair dressers use a
hot iron for this process, but there are sew
eral devices in shops that do quite as well
and one can use them at home and avoid
the hot irons that really injure the hair
after time.

Spring Fever.

The hills are growing bright again,
They've long enough been brown;
The slopes are clean
And fresh and green
It's hard to stay in town.
Bluebirds are in the country lanes,
Where peppers pipe to drown,
With voices shrill,
The songs they spill
| hate it here in town.
The road is smooth up through the woods
Where Honest Brook comes down;
The May sun shines
There on the pines
l Just can't stay in town.
The water writhes among the roots
And over pebbles brown;
The trout will bite
Now every night
will not stay in town.

The fund provided by the bill would
be small as compared with the lrrlga-
ton fund-it would approximate half a
million dollars a year and would start
off with about 81 100000 the receipts
from the sales for the fiscal year 1909
being included-but on the other hand
the cost of drainage would not be SO
great as that of irrigation.
The Importance of this work OF
wholesale drainage, in order to provide
homes for increased population, is
scarcely second in Importance to the
irrigation work. 1t means that tens OF
millions of acres of the most fertile land
imaginable, which has lain idle for
ages. may be converted from dismal
and pestilential swamps and useless
boys into highly prosperous homes, to
become the garden spots of the nation

in Holland from the entertainments of
