From information believed to be au-
thoritative it is understood that the
Iowa Central is making arrangements
to replace the local passenger trains. 8
and 4, which were discontinued on the
Sth inst, owing to the scarcity of coal.
The news will be hailed with delight
by the people of every town along the
Central, and especially north of this
city, which has been practically with
out accommodations in train service
for over a week.
The date fixed for resuming the runs
is Monday, April 90. So far as known
no changes are contemplated for the
present, and the trains will run from
MdSOIl lily 10 IeOTld, as heretofore.
Nothing is said regarding time, so it
is presumed that the old schedule for
the trains will be observed. The time
card still shows the trains and 4,
and orders have been given each day
for the trains, just as if they were in
actual service. The patrons of the
road will be better able to appreciate
the two trains in question than ever
before, as they have never realized
what the service was to them until it
was curtailed.

he did we'll, altho the Des Moines team
ran in one score before the first inning

The general opinion is that Brown
has a good team, altho most of the

OfHciaI Tests In Ind In ma.

The dairy department of Purdue ex-
pertinent station has established sys-
tenn of official tests for the dairy herds
of its state. The plan is to send out
representatives from the station TO
conduct these tests for any breeders
who desire them. Benefits which have
been derived in other states where this
plan has been tried amply justify the
effort. The first official test has been
completed. 7. ii. Jackson of South
Bend, Ind, submitted six of his well
known Holsteins to seven days milk
and butter fat test. One of his cows,
aged two years and four months, gave
a seven day yield of 316.S pounds of
milk. Another made a record Of 4OS
pounds. Applications have been made
from several breeders Of Jerseys, but
these tests have not been completed.

We find as we visit farm after farm
all throughout the country that farm
ers are not paying much attention as
TO the cost Of production They are
clamoring for more price. That is le-
ultimate, but they do not save the
1000 per cent on profits on their own
farm by reducing the cost of produc-
ton, as they might. A man that Is in
the agricultural business has TO study
that question more than anybody else,
the dairyman particularly should, and
there ought TO be an aggressive move
ment along the line, and the report Of
the man who has charge of your adj
vanced registry work speaks of the
advantages farm associations bring. X
l was a breeder of Holstein cattle or
any kind OF cattle l would work at ii
day In and day out in order that these
farmers should understand that every
COW is not a COW simply because she
stands on four legs and has four teats,
but that they must study the individ-
uality of the animal; that there are
good and bad cows in their herds. Our
dairy literature is full of this thing,
but the farmers either do not read il,
or if they do read it they do not read
ii understandingly. There is one way
that we can get at the men who do not
have the advantage of the great mass
of literature that is being given out by
practically doing for them what they
will not do themselves. We have only
got to go TO Europe and see how far
ahead of us they are in all they have
done along that line. In Denmark
they have I've or six hundred test as
sociations, where farmers find by mu-
tual interests they can get together.
Those started two years ago with two
organizations. Six hundred in Den
mark today; 400 in Norway and Swe-
den. They have been extended into
Russia and Belgium and Holland and
many over into England. This year
we have had little along that line In
our own country and Canada. We go
back and find nothing In our dairy lit
erature about anything being done
along that line, but now we find here
and there a little awakening along
Shis line We have from Vermont
circular urging the dairymen TO go in
to these associations because the dairy

Good Rufter Producers.

The most remarkable characteristic
of the Guernsey is the richness of the
animal. This richness is combined
with good size and constitution and
particularly quiet, gentle and tracta-
BILE temperament. They are rangy, deep
animals, with soft, silky texture of
skin and creamy color. AS a four-year-
old they often give sixteen to eighteen
quarts of milk during the first four or
five months after calving with ordinary
care. They are persistent mixers.
Their milk and cream is of marvellous
color and richness, and the butter eX-
cells in grain and flavor and golden col
or that of any other breed.
Their ability to produce butter fat at
a low cost demands careful attention
of dairymen. At the New York expert
ment station several of the dairy
breeds have been carefully tested.
The annual report gives the result of
the first two periods of lactation. In
both instances the Guerneys produced
butter fat at the least cost, as follows:
Guernsey, first period, 1874 cents; sec
ond period, 1916 cents; Jersey, 20 cents,
1875 cents; Devon. % cents, 10 cents;
Ayrshire. 24.3 cents, 24.S cents; Ameri-
can Holderness, 26.3 cents, 22.S cents;
Holstein- Friesian. 263 cents, 264 cents.
This agrees with the work done at
other experiment stations.

SLIDING GATE IN PLUME.

Dowie, Jr., an expert in the irrigation
and drainage Investigations of the de-
partment of agriculture, has noted
some interesting points of practice in
recent report on irrigation In the
north Atlantic states.
The advantages to be gained from ir-
rigation are limited to certain crops.
Such field crops as timothy, clover,
wheat, rye, oats and corn are not par
ticularly affected by droughts of short
duration. The value of such crops in
eastern Pennsylvania will usually lie
between $50 and $50 per acre, and irri-
CATION In such instances would hardly
pay under present conditions. The
case of truck crops is entirely differ
ent. The value of single crop will
often be $500 to $500 per acre, and
on the same land in a year. Crops of
this nature are much more sensitive to
drought than field crops.
The success of irrigation under the
conditions found In the east is due not
to cheap water supply, but to the high
value of crops grown and the careful
distribution of the small quantity Of
water used. Most OF the irrigated
meadow land in Pennsylvania lies
near the beds Of small creeks fed by
springs. Small dams constructed Of
timber back filed with earth are built
to raise the water sufficiently high to
cover the land, but not for storage.
They are usually small affairs, cheaply
constructed, costing from 50 to 500
The use of wells as Il source of irriga-
ton is quite limited. Many farmers
near the large cities use city water for
irrigation, since if the farm is small
and the use of water is limited it is
thought TO be cheaper than pumping.
The reason for the prevalence in the
east of the sprinkling method of lrri-
CATION. which is practically unknown
in arid sections, lies in two important
differences in the conditions of irriga-
ton practice-first, the quantity of wa
ter applied in one irrigation in the east
must be small owing to the risk of
sudden and heavy rains which would
swamp crop if falling soon after a
heavy irrigation, and. second. the soils
used for truck farming in the east are
not as rule, so capable Of storing and
retaining water as the arid soils, SO
that a heavy irrigation once a month
will not answer the needs of garden
crops in the east. With the sprinkling
system it is possible TO apply uniform
ly as small quantity Of water as de-
sired, while with burrows enough must

and soak literally to the roots OF the

The Kind of Hull to buy.

The safest kind of bull to buy to
breed from today is the one least
sought after. After bulls reach the

be better animal to buy for breeding

finement in dark, filthy box stalls. In

advantage in being able to ascertain

Why the Parafin Cracks.

The cracking and coming off Of the
paraffin coating on cheese are undoubt-
eddy due, according to Hoard's Dairy
man, to not heating the paraffin hot
enough before dipping the cheese. The
paraffin should be heated from 240 to
260 degrees f. A gasoline stove serves
very well for heating 1t. A cylindrical
vessel large enough for taking the
cheese is used for the paraffin, and the
cheese, supported by holder, which is
so constructed that 1t rests upon but
four points. is dipped for moment in
to the hot liquid. A small double pull
ley is very handy for raising the cheese
after it has been submerged for a mo-
ment and holding 1t over the vessel for
the surplus paraffin to drain off. Fas-
tening the pulley to a crane permits the
moving of the cheese from the table to
the vessel containing paraffin and back
again with ease. The cheese should be
paraffined soon after leaving the press.
1t has been found that the paraffin
sticks better to the cheese when the
cloth circles have been removed.

In an investigation into the quality
of butter during a cold storage test Of
eight months and after removal from
the same the following results were
obtained by G. e. Grey, dairy expert
of the bureau of animal industry:
First.-Butter containing low percent
ages of salt kept better than did but
ter of the same lot containing higher
percentages of salt.
Second.-Butter in full cans and tubs
at -1O0 and +1Oo f. scored about the
same. At -t32' f. there. was a slight
difference IN favor of cans.
Third.-Butter In full cans kept much
better than did butter In cans only
partially full, the deterioration doubt
less being due to the presence of air
in the partially full cans.
Fourth. Butter held at -10o Il. kept
best, both when in storage and after
removal from storage.
Fifth.--Butter made from cream re-
ceived at the creamery sweet and in
good condition kept well while stored
at -100 and -t100 f. Also after re-
moval from storage, giving results
wholly satisfactory.
SiXth.-Rutter made from cream re-
ceived at the creamery sour and in
fair condition kept well while in stor-
age at -10' and -t10' F., but deterio-
rated rapidly after removal from stor-
age, giving, on the whole, results which
were very unsatisfactory.

Butter and Milk

process, but it has the government seal
of purity and superiority. Creameries
where it is made are rigldly inspected

This is practiced by many butter
makers and especially by farmers. The
butter granules are allowed to reach
the size Of a grain Of wheat, the salt is
then added and the churn slowly re-
volved. 1t will not take the salt long
to become thoroughly Incorporated in
the butter. The maker will soon be
able TO estimate the amount of salt re-
Quired for any one churning>
Value of Butter.
Why does good butter bring a higher
price in the market than poor butter
Wheat demands higher price than
oats because ii contains great amount
of food nutrients. But is this true in
regard to the different grades of but
ter? Is not butter that scores as sec
onds" just as nutritious as that which
Is classed as fancy "extraI" Then why
the difference in price? The answer is
found in the fact that the American
palate has been educated to a desire
for fine favored butter. The value of
butter, therefore, is contained in the
flavor, and those factors which pro-
duce the finest favored butter possible
are the ones which ought to be encour-
aged.
MIX a DiRester.
In experiments by Professor Harry
Snyder of Minnesota on the food value
of cottage cheese, rice, peas and bacon
he found that milk constituted con-
siderable part of the diet. A general
fact of great practical Importance
brought out by the investigation as a
whole was that when milk was used
the actual dlgestibil.ty of the rations
was greater than that calculated from
the digestibility of the individual
foods used, showing that when COM
bined with other foods milk exercises
a favorable effect upon digestibility.
Testing MIX.
The following is an outline by
dairy paper of the Babcock method Of
testing milk. A known quantity OF
milk GI.G cubic centimeters) is meas
ured off by means of pipette into
graduated test bottle. Seventeen and
one-ffth cubic centimeters of CONNER
cial sulphuric acid of Il specific gravi-
t. of 1.S2 to 1.S3 is then measured out
by means of graduated cylinder or
aiI automatic p!pettc and added to the
milk. The two fluids are mixed, and
when the curd is dissolved the test bot;
ties are placed In Il centrifugal ma
chilc and whiried for five minutes ~
a rate of 500 to 1000 revolutions per
minute, according to the diameter Of
the machine The small hand machines
on the market require the higher num-
Der of revolutions. Boiling hot wa
ter Is then filed into the bottles, by
which means the liquid is brought into
the narrow, graduated necks of the
bottles. After an additional whirling
of the bottles for one minute the length
Of the column Of fat is read off In per
cent. The whole process of testing a
sample of milk according to this meth
cd will take less than n quarter OF an
hour. when n little skill In nanipula-
ton has been reached
