FINDING PROPORTION OF CASEIN
in MILK BY SIMPLE TEST
Process Determining Butter
Fat In Ndi1k-By Prof. e. b. Hart, Chemist
Wisconsin Experiment Station.

In the milk of individual cows, there
is certainly no definite and constant
relation between the amounts of fat
and casein. One animal may yield q
milk containing 2.7 per cent of casein
and six per cent. of fat, while another
produces milk 2.7 per cent. casein
and four per cent. of fat, and still an
other, a milk carrying 3.5 per cent. of
casein and six per cent. of fat. These
figures are actual analyses of milks of
individual cows in the university herd.
Expressed in another way, we have
milks where for every hundred pounds
of fat, there may be anywhere from 46
to 70 pounds of casein. Surely. 1t is
clear that for cheese production, a
milk carrying for every hundred
pounds Of fat 73 pounds Of casein.

The graduations extend from zero to

for all normal milks. The 10 per cent.
mark represented on the scale should
correspond to exactly S &C.

would yield more cheese than one con-
tanning but 46 pounds of casein. This
is not fiction.
But why emphasize this fact of the
variation of the casein and fat content
of milk? Simply this, that in the
minds Of not few dairymen, cows
milk contains these constituents in a
definite and fixed relation. That when
the fat increases, the casein rises in a
fixed and definitely related proportion.
This may or may not be the case It
may be true if we average a great
number of milks, but here lies our
most important point, and that is that
it is not the average that is to guide
us in our methods of improvement, but
rather the exception and the deviation
from the average. The producer and
the cheese maker who pin their faith
to such a belief are in the path for
progress.
The form of the tube used in max
ing the test is shown in Fig. l. This

if highway commissioners would do no

Fig. 2 illustrates this arrangement.
The centrifuge itself is illustrated
herewith. AS the method is entirely
dependent upon the application of
definite centrifugal force within a
definite time, it is clear that any
modification of the radius of the re-
volving wheel will vary the force ap
piled and consequently alter the space
occupied by the pellet. A revolving
wheel "a inches in diameter should
revolve 1866 times per minute.
| It is probable, however, that the
dimensions adopted in the tester
have used-a revolving wheel Is
inches in diameter, with the casein
tubes themselves revolving in circle

,, speed of 1000 revolutions per minute

In making the test the following
conditions must be observed:
1. Make the test on sweet, unpre.
served milk, where practicable.
2. Make the tests in duplicate, and
be sure that the sample of milk is a
representative one. Use &C. of chloro-
form, 20 &C. acetic acid solution, and
&C. of milk.
3. Have the temperature of the
acetic acid solution and the milk be-
tween 65,and Is degrees F.; 70 degrees
is to be preferred and is more &C.

4. Do not shake the mixture more
than 20 seconds. Fifteen is probably
ample, but shake with reasonable
vigor.

The season for working the earth
roads is at hand, and the earlier this
is done the better. Do not be afraid
of doing road work in wet weather;
the more water-soaked the soil is, the
better for the purpose and the better
the road will finally be.
In grading do not loosen any more
earth than necessary to make the
grade, the general form of which
should be as shown in Figure 1, high

one-half of the grain usually fed oul
dairy cows, and as the nutrients need.
ed by dairy cows can be produced
much more cheaply with alfalfa than
with grain, the cost of producing milk
may be greatly reduced by it's use.
The cash returns from feeding
this crop at the various experiment
stations range from $40 to $40 per ton.
With four tons per acre, these figures
show excellent returns from the land
devoted to alfalfa. A conservative
estimate would indicate that the Wis.
consin dairy farmer can increase his
profits from so to Is per cent. by
liberal but judicious use of alfalfa
grown upon his own farm.

ALFALFA FOR
DAIRY COWS
by Prof. d. H. Otis, Wisconsin.

In composition alfalfa is nearly, if
not quite, equal to bran, pound for
pound. The excellent feeding value
of alfalfa lies in it's high content of
digestible protein. With an average
yield of four tons, alfalfa will produce
$50 pounds sof digestible protein per
acre. If this amount Of protein is
supplied from oil meal, which is U.S.
ually purchased for its protein con-
tent, it would require Is tons, which
would cost at present $3.50.

dairy cows shows that alfalfa can be
made to take the place Of at least

CENTER If the road is properly graded
and the drag faithfully used, earth
roads will be improved "a hundred per
cent.
Highway commissioners should get
in touch with the state highway au-
thorities and get from them sugges-
lions for the practical working of the
roads. Road building is an art that
is very little understood, and because
of this from half to two-thirds of the
money raised for highway improve.
ments for the last 40 years has been
practically wasted. 1t is time to COM
mence doing the right thing, and doing
it at the right time.
