A METHOD FOR DETERMINATION
OF WATER In BUTTER
Process BY Wisconsin Experiment
Direction Of E. II. Harrington, Dairy Husbandman.

The Wisconsin high-pressure oven
is the result of suggestions made by
G. H. Benkendorf, instructor, and K.
L. Hatch, a student connected with
the Wisconsin dairy school. It has
developed through various stages dur
ing the past year and as now used Is
giving very satisfactory results. Our
illustration shows the oven with an
opening In the door, A, so that the
drying pans inside may be seen.
The oven is made Of cast iron. The
outside shell Is about IL inches square
and the inside shell about nine
inches square. The two castings are
boIted together in front and the door
A attached to the casting in the same
way as the firing door Of boiler Is
hung This door does not fit air
tight, but simply closes like the door
Of stove oven.
The temperature of the oven may
be taken by inserting thermometer
through hole in the door. A space
for circulating high pressure steam
is left between the outside and the
inside shells or castings OF the oven.
The oven is connected with a high
pressure steam system by means OF a
three-fourths-inch pipe which is
screwed into the outside shell. BY
opening the valve, B, hot steam Is
forced between the walls of the oven.
The amount of steam used may be
regulated by the exhaust valve at G..
The temperature Of the oven Is gov
erned by the steam pressure and by
the amount Of steam used. The valve,
3, Is usually turned wide open and the
supply passing around the walls Of the
oven regulated by valve G.
With steam pressure Of so pounds
we have obtained temperature in the
oven Of ESQ degrees Fahrenheit; low
er steam pressures give lower tenn
peratures BY employing the boiler
pressure ordinarily used in cream
cry, temperature Of 24O degrees
Fahrenheit to $50 deprees Fahrenheit
may easily be obtained. This temper
ature is high enough to dry out all
the water In weighed samples of but
ter within an hour or even less. pro-
viding pans large enough to spread
the butter in a sufficiently thin layer
are used.

AUTOMATIC POULTRY WATERING.
System Used by Or. A. Il. Phelps
Described.


Upon each floor of my poultry house
have 2-inch iron pipe which passes
the whole length of both the main
floor and loft from west to east, at the
latter end projecting outside the build
ing. This pipe runs along the floor,
passing through each Of the warm
roosting rooms, in each Of which Is a
T Joint, surmounted by 1-inch nipple
coupling. On the top Of this Is
screwed a cast.iron drinking cup 8
inches in diameter and inches deep.
All are set at the same level.
At the west end the Inflow takes
place through tank supplied with a
float valve, like that used for flushing
a closet. This tank and valve are ad-
justed to the same level as the drink
Ing cups so that when the cups are
full the float shuts off the inflow, and
as the water Is used out, 1t falls just
enough to allow the cups to refill,
again closing when the proper level
Is reached. In this way the water Is
not wasted. At the outflow at the
west end a gate serves to flush out
the whole system. Inside of this gate
an overflow pipe, placed at the prop
er level, easily prevents the possibility
Of the cups overflowing and thereby
flooding the floors. The 2-inch pipe
Is of that size to render clogging I'm
possible. A pipe from the hot water
heater In the brooder cellar is con-
nected with the inflow pipe. making
It possible to supply hot water to the
system. Orange Judd Farmer.

HATcHABILITY or EGGS.
Observation Shows That There Is
Great Difference In Eggs.

Each bird has its own individuality.
By that mean that there are certain
birds which lay eggs that are nearly
always hatchable. With one hen we
found that she was a good layer, a
hen that laid fertile eggs, but the eggs
were not hatchable under hens or in
incubators. One peculiarity Of these
eggs was that the chick would develop
only to about the eighteenth day, or
we always found a fully formed dead
chick in the shell. We call that a fer
tile egg, but 1t is an unhatchable egg.
We have also found other hens that
will lay equally as many eggs that
are nearly all hatchable under natural
conditions, but they are not as hatch
able under artificial conditions. There
ere a few hens, and I am ssorry to
state that they are in the minority,
whose eggs are hatchable under al.
most any condition. In other words,
these hens in the latter class seem to
have so much vitality and their eggs
are so strongly fertilized that they
will stand abuse in the way Of tenn
perature and other conditions that are
present in some methods Of incuba
ton, and yet will hatch a chicken that
Is fairly thrifty.-W. R. Graham, On
