QUEER CAUSE OF DEATH.

Mankato.-An eight penny nail in
the heart Of a cow belonging to Claus
Swanson, living in Lafayette, Nicol-
let county, was responsible for the
animals death. The animal had been
ailing for some time and it's owner, be-
leiving it to be suffering from tubercu-
losis, killed it. After it's death an eX-
animation disclosed an eight-penny
nail Embedded lengthwise in it's heart
Holes in adjacent tissues showed that
the nail had been travelling about for
some time before it finally found lodg-
ment in the heart. 1t is not unusual
for small nails and bits of glass to
be found in the udders Of cattle, but
this is the first case known where a
nail has been found in the heart or has
caused DEATH

His present weight Is 1,740 pounds,
and In this respect as well as In dairy
potency he is a good representation Of
the recent and present trend among
American Jersey breeders for greater
size.
His breeding also tends to confirm
the theory that the male inherits from
- dam and the female from the sire.
Thus Hector Marigold inherits his abil-
ity as dairy sire from his grandam,
the famous Melia Ann, through her
equally famous son. Mella AIMS Son.

NEW INDUSTRY.
Making Milk Powder-Recent Factor
In Dairy business.


Important changes in the dairy bust
ness may be brought about by the ex-
tension of the new process OF making
milk powder. In brief, the method is
to pass the milk over hot rollers, from
which 1t is scraped as thin dry sheet,
then slfted into powder and put Up in
cans, bags or boxes. The method is
adapted to skim milk or whole milk,
and also, II Is claimed. to eggs. Sew
erai hundred of the machines for this
purpose have been set In operation in
various parts OF Europe and America.
Probably there Is no reason to expect
that the growth of this industry will
Interfere much with the shipment OF
fresh milk. More likely 1t will be an
entirely new source Of income In the
dairy business.
The manufacture of skim milk into
powder would furnish a good market for
the skim milk byproduct of large cream
cries, and the use of whole milk would
be practical in sections where milk can
be produced cheaply and abundantly
and where there is no other market at
present. Both milk and skim milk
would have to be sold at low prices to
make the industry profitable, as the
cost of machines and their operation
would make the product quite expen-
sive. The powder has about seven
times the strength Of milk and has to
be diluted with that proportion of wa
ter to equal ordinary milk Of average
quality.
MIX powder might be manufactured
for provision on shipboard, in tropical
countries and wherever a compact,
long keeping product is necessary. In
parts of Europe 1t is used quite extern
sively by bakers and confectioners as
n cheap form of milk. In some cities
of Europe the milk powder is used for
feeding infants.-American Cultivator

BUTTERMAKlNG.

At What Point 10 stop ClrurrSne
washing and Sailing.
1t Is important to know at just what
point To stop churn,ng. For best re-
suits IN freeing the g~nnulcs from Che
buttermilk and incorporating the salt
1t Is considered that the butter grnnules
should be about the size Of beans or
grains Of corn. possibly a little larger.
The churn Is then stopped and the but
termilk allowed to drain. After the
buttermilk Is wen drained from the
butter granules On amount OF water
about equal In volume and OF the same
temperature as The buttermiIk should
be added and the churn given four or
five revolutions slowly. so that the wa
.ap will come tn contact with every
particle Of butter and wash out the
remaining butternilk.
As soon as the wash water has drain
cd well from the butter granules salt
should be added. The amount Of salt
used will depend entirely on the de-
msDds Of the consumer. Usually about
an ounce of salt for each pound of but
ter Will be necessary. If the ordinary
barrel churn is used. which Is perhaps
the best form made, the salt may be
added I'm the churn. BY giving the
churn a few revolutions the salt will
be quite thoroughly Incorporated with
the butter. 1t should stand in this con-
dition for a few minutes. until the salt
becomes more or less dissolved, before
the working of the butter is begun.-E.
