In and About the State
TWO GREAT DAlRYMEN.
University of Wisconsin Professors
Who Have Revolutionized Dairyinq.

University of Wisconsin Professors
Who Have Revoutionized Dairying.
CDR. S. M. Babcock and DR.. E. B.
Hart are known to the world as men
who have revolutionized the dairy in
dustry," says A. w. Hopkins, Wiscon-
sin, '03, in an article in the last Out
look, in which he reviews the work
which these two professors of the
University of Wisconsin have done for
the dairymen of the state and through
them for the nation and the world at
large The value Of this work to the
butter and cheese manufacturers
everywhere is evident when it is con-
sidered that the amount of butter con-
tanned in a cows milk is accurately
determined by DR.. Babcock's invented
test while the amount of casein for
making cheese is determined by an
invention of Prof. Hart.
1.-THE Babcock test is essential in
bllving milk for the manufacture of
butter, but it is scarcely possible that
its economic Importance is greater
than that of the Hart test for the de-
termination of the cheese producing
content of milk says Mr.. Hopkins.
'By the recent production of his ap-
paratus the cheese industry Of the
country has been established upon a
new basis. The breeder, through the
Babcock test, has made butter COW,
one in which the fat is unusually high,
and he has done this by selection. 1t
seems highly probable that with the
simple casein test the cheese COW can
also be developed-a COW which, for
instance, instead of giving milk with
seventy pounds of casein per hundred
pounds of fat, will produce milk con-
tanning nearer a hundred pounds or
casein for one hundred pounds of fat.
We need a strain of COWS which will
habitually produce milk rich in casein.
Here lies one of the important fields
of the casein test. Like the BabcOck
tester, the Hart tester is a means Of
determining the profit-producing pow
ers of the dairy COWS of our farms. It's
intelligent use will eliminate the I'M
productive animals and improve the
character of those to be retained"
Mr.. Hopkins describes both process
es popularity The Babcock test, he
says, is machine for revolving glass
milk bottles at a certain speed, with
careful guidance marks on the outside
of each bottle In addition there is
tube to measure the milk and an acid
measure. The we'll stirred milk and
sulphuric acid are put in the bottle
shaker and put in the machine, where
the revolving motion at high pressure
sends the fat into the neck of the bot
tie, where it can easily be measured.
The Hart test is somewhat similar, ex-
cept that acetic acid and chloroform
are used, with a metrOnome to control
exactly the speed of the machine

LEFT MONEY TO FRIEND.
Old Mans Daughter, Cut Off With ST.,
Contesting Fathers Will.

A sensational will contest is being
tried before Judge Lebeis in the coun-
ty court at Chippewa Falls Henry
Marie, an old resident, who died May
81, left all his property except 81 to
Joseph Peroni The will gave the 81
to the daughter, Mrs Alice Perre-
maud.
According to the testimony Mr.
Marie had shown an unaccountable
aversion for his daughter just before
his death, and when on his deathbed
she visited him he ordered her out Of
the room. Mrs. Perrenaud said that it
was due to the influence of Mrs. Pc
roni that she had been cut off in the
will and that her fathers regard for
Mrs. Peroni had been much beyond
the ordinary. Witnesses for Joseph
Peroni will try to show that the de-
ceased had left him all his property
on the condition that Mr.. and Mrs.
Peroni should take care OF him during
his lifetime and that he had no i'll will
toward his daughter

Cially Embarrassed.
TROUBLE is ONLY TEMPORARY

Minneapolis, Aug. II. = The Pills
bury-Washburn Flour Mill company,
limited, Minneapolis, the largest -four
milling company in the world, Satur-
day made application for the appoint
ment Of receivers. The financial SYM
barrassments are admitted by the
company, although it is denied that
the company is insolvent.
The petition for the appointment of
receivers was granted by United
States Judge Milton D. Purdy, and A
C. Loring, A. c. Cobb and Charles S.
Pillsbury were appointed receivers.
The company's mills will not cease
operations, and, pending the receiver
ship, which, it is expected, will be
temporary, the business will be contin-
ued. Other companies, all subsidiary
to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. company
included in the receivership are the
Minneapolis and Northern Elevator
company, with 100 elevators along the
Great Northern railway lines; the
Minneapolis Milling company and the
Minneapolis Power company. No
concerns other than these are affected
Henry r. Little has been the general
manager of the company
Minneapolis and st. Paul banks and
John S. Pillsbury, heavy stakeholder
in the company, petitioned the court
through an attorney, for the appoint
ment of the receivers and the issu-
ance of restraining injunction on the
continuance of the business under the
former management.
The Indebtedness of the company
amounts to about 100000, and the
deficiency between the assets and the
liabilities is said to be $1,500,0O0.
In the complaint filed with the court
a criticism is made of the manner in
which the business has been conduct
ed in the last few years The com
panys present financial embarrass-
ment is stated as due to extravagant
management
No admission of insolvency is made
and it was stated that any action for
the purpose of showing the company
to be insolvent would be stoutly OPP
posed by the company, but the defend
ant, through its attorney, Clark Hemp
stead united with the compliments in
praying for the appointment of re
ceiveTs.

Wright Of Dayton, Ohio, made spec
tacular flight of three and one-half
kilometers OFT miles, in his aero

proved beyond a doubt that he is the
master OF his birdlike machine, COM
pleting two circles and rising and de-
scending at will. He came down to
earth without any damage to his aero
plane.
Wright was warmly congratulated
by the spectators. A number of for
eign aerOnauts were present. They

MONARCHS Mss AND EMBRACE
King Edward and Emperor William Ex-
change Cordial Greetings
at Berlin.

Berlin, Aug. 12.-King Edward and
Emperor William met at Kronberg
yesterday morning. The emperor was
awaiting his royal uncle at the rail
way station, and the meeting was
most cordial one. The two monarchs
kissed one another on both cheeks
and embraced several times.
After the exchange of formal intro
auctions between the royal suites, the
king and emperor entered an open au-
tomobile and amid the cheers of the
great throng that had assembled to
see the meeting proceeded through
gayly decorated streets lined with
school children instead of the usual
troops to Friedrichshof castle. where
they had a long conversation before
lunch and another later in the day.
Although, according to official an
nouncementS, the meeting of the rul-
ers of Great Britain and Germany had
no other object than general discus
sion Of European affairs, it is broadly
intimated that the Turkish situation
was one of the chief subjects of dis
cussion, and the Tageblatt declares its
belief that the main object of the
conference was a discussion of the ma
val programs of the two nations. The
intimatiOn in the Tageblatt is that the
two monarchs hope to arrive at mo-
dus vivendi by which certain clearly
defined proportions of naval strength
shall be strictly adhered to, with
view to the maintenance of friendly
relations between the two nations

rage shot and killed Andrew NOmen-

heart, Anna Sorenson, in the town of

cred it unusual for prisoner to plead
guilty to murder in the first degree,
and asked Lynch if he knew what he
was doing, stating to him that he
might receive a lighter sentence by
standing trial, when he would have
an opportunity to make such defense
as he might have. but Lynch decided
that he would plead guilty to the
charge as preferred by the district at
torney, whereupOn the judge pro-
nounced sentence upon him for life
Imprisonment in the state prison at
Waupun. Lynch expressed the hope
that when he had served part of his
sentence he might receive a pardon,
and this is the reason that he gave for
not standing trial at this time.-W.
