Experiments in the Storage of Butter


Some extensive experiments in the
making and storage of butter have re-
Gently been concluded by the dairy divi-
sion OF the bureau on animal industry
United States department of agriculture
ia an effort to solve some of the Difficult
ties encountered in the butter trade A
bulletin containing a report of the ex-
perlments has just been issued by the
department.
Last summer about 600O pounds of
butter was made in Kansas and Iowa by
C. e. Gray, a dairy expert of the
department of agriculture, and placed
IN cold storage in Chicago. where it re-
NAMED until this spring. This butter
was examined and scored at intervals
by Prof. G. l.. Mckay, the head of the
dairy school of the Iowa state college.
and T. II. Kieffer, assistant dairy
commissioner OF Iowa. Some interesting
things were revealed by these tests and
While some of the old ideas were sus-
tanned, others were practically reversed

The butter was made from five lots Of

other unpasteurized, and part of each

Fish in a Keg.

While fishing in the Lehigh river near
White Haven, Pa, Patrick fully. a Lee
high Valley conductor hooked catfish
which he could not land. After apply
inc all the methods known to scientific
anglers. he was about to give up in de-
spair when another fisherman prof
fered assistance. He said there was
only one thing to do-wade the stream
and spear the fish.
Tully waded forth expecting to en-
counter a baby whale To his surprise
he found his line entered the bunghole
of beer key that lay in five feet of
water. The keg was dragged ashore
with much difficulty and was found to
contain four-pound catfish. Its re-
lease required the destruction of the
key. The fish evidently had made its
home in the key and eventually grew
too large to pass through the bunghole.
How it procured food is a mystery.

Yet it was not his military but his
literary achievements that he took most
pride in. He knew this was foolish. but
he could not help it. He said once to

only man whose pride was misplaced.
He said that in a certain engage
ment in his youth he once heard a pri-

IS AMERICAN TRADE IN PERIL,

DIR. Louis Bell an electrical exnart op b,oh
standing expresses some rather pessimistic
opinions IN regard 10 American industry In
the September number Of The Engineering
Magazine" He fears that future prosperity Is
being sacrificed to the urgent demands or the
immediate present The manufacturer I'm this
country, he says. aims chiefly TO secure the Iarg
est possible output and the biggest profit and
Is thus betrayed into satisfaction with medioc-
rlty' Dr. Bell admits that the average excel
lence OF low priced American products Is re-
markabie. but says that it is exceedingly DIFF
fcult TO find here domestic articles of the high
est grade. Skilled labor is lamentabIy scarce
he complains. nearly all OF the best workmen In
this country have come from Germany. Sweden
or some other part Of Europe and In order Tn
OBTAIN machines or parts OF machines Of the very
best quality 1t is necessary to send abroad.
Dr Bells argument will raise in many minds
two questions. One relates TO the correctness
OF MS premises and the other to the sound
ness OF MS conclusions. Even If there IS little
disposition TO dispute the accuracy with which
Dr. Bell describes the dominant methods of
American industry, there will be much reIuc-
tance TO concede that they tend 10 ruin. II the
manufacturer uses his plant and employes 70
MI the most pressing orders, and II the orders
are for articles OF only average merit, is he
any more 10 blame than the intending mr.
chaser! If. for instance. the public wants
vastly more watches OF the kind which can
be sold at SO than $500 timepieces is il fniu
dicious or immoral TO supply what is asked for7
Would il not be folly 10 manufacture goods
which were superior in quality but unstable
because OF their cost7
Possibly watches do not afford a perfectly
fair illustration OF the point we have I'm mind.
because the range I'm price between n mOder-

we believe that In great number OF industries
Il is mutually advantageous to both producer
and buyer 10 have a large output OF compare
lively inexpensive wares provided OF course
that they meet the real requirements of the
purchaser, and provided. also. that he knows
what he is buying. If such be the case, it does
not seem probable that concentration OF effort
on the manufacture OF things which are most
urgently demanded to-day will imperil the
future.
II skilled labor in this country is as scarce

manufacturers are responsible nor doss he sug-

The political question which is OF first impor-

country-is how the primary elections 20 deter

lieve that the enrolled voters will decide il as
IL ought TO he decided.
Governor Higgins put the case exactly right
when he said:
A struggle for the control OF the party organ
ization and the party nominations is on between
the bosses. who turn angrily upon the President
and the Governor. whom they have been unable

Mr.. Herbert Parsons was elected president of
the Republican County Committee last year
under the decisive pressure OF public discomfort
with the old methods and the old men He is
carrying out the purposes which were proclaimed
10 be sought in his election, and that is the
reason why he is now virulently opposed by the
interests which Mr.. ouigg represents and the
elements which through those interests he con-
trOls. II is because Mr.. Parsons has faithfully
discharged the obligations which he assumed
that such men are striving to displace him.
They have been unable TO use him, and there
fore they burn 10 get him out Of Their way II
they succeed, il will not be because the gem

But ooooo. 900 gallons will not be enough for
the city. II Ramapo had supplied more than
that IT might have charged anything 1t liked
for the excess. But If IL had charged only $40
for the additional supply required, the city
would have had TO pay IL s7.66aOO0 a year.
The municipal system now under construction
will supply that quantity. at a capital cost Of
S161 100000. or s4.sSo.0o0 a year. a saving OF
S2.sS5.Ooo a year which will far more than
cover all costs OF operation. Moreover. as every
body should know. the cost of building water
works now is very much greater than 1t was
at the time Of the Ramapo proposal The city
could probably have secured its own supply at
that time for S1O0.Oo00o0 or less.
We cannot regard the determination OF this
city 10 enlarge its own water supply instead
of paying tribute 10 Ramapo as "a most un-
fortunate experiment" IL is neither unfortu-
nate nor an experiment. But TO have delivered
the city over TO Ramapo would, we believe,
have been not only unfortunate, but disas-
