WATER CONTENT IN BUTTER
Moisture in Butter in Excess Of 16
Per Cent. Makes 1t Liable to

The dairy school of the University
If Wisconsin is constantly receiving
inquiries similar to the following 2n.'
the problem outlined. is of such gen
eral interest as to make this question
and reply worthy of publication:
''Is not the water content of butter
and the moisture content the same

butter that has more than 16 per cent.

paper that some butter makers have

maker take my place for two weeks

butter containing 81 per cent of mois-
ture and the company which bought it
sent it back, saying that it was
against the law to sell it. What would

FOR FIGHTING THE CURCULIO
Cheapest and Quickest Way of De-
stroying This Destructive Little
Orchard Pest.

The quickest and most economical
method of fighting the curculio, where
there are only few thees, is to Place
a sheet under each tree early in the
morning, as soon as the insects ap-
pear, and jar the trunk; when they
fall gather and burn, says the Bal
timOre American. This should be
done twice a week for two or three
weeks, when most, if not all of them,
can be caught before the fruit is in
jured. The plum, the damson, and
the apricot are the fruits most in
jured. Slugs that attack the pear
and other trees may be killed by dust
ing the leaves, when damp, with fresh
airslaked lime. Apple trees should
be sprayed early in the spring
when buds commence to form; alter
the blossoms fall, when fruit is one
third grown and when half grown. The
Bordeaux and paris green solution is
the best remedy. These solutions may
be had already prepared at the agri-
cultural stores.

so as to make it salable?"-F. ]. G.,
Dane county, Wis.
In answering the above query Prof.
E. w. Harrington says that the per
cent. of water and the per cent. of
moisture in butter are the same thing.
Some persons use the first term and
others the second. The present law
states that butter containing over 16
per cent. water must pay tax of 10
cents per pound, since it is classified
as adulterated. 1t is quite necessary
that butter makers be absolutely sure
that the butter they are making does
not exceed the 16 per cent. limit.
I know of no way in which you can
be sure of the water content of the
butter made at your factory unless
you test it from day to day. The
Irish butter test has been suggested
for this purpose. | think you need
have no fear of exceeding the 16 per
cent limit if you will wash the gran
ules of butter with cold water at about
so degrees F., allowing the butter to
stand in this water until the granules
become hard and firm. Then after
draining off the water, wash and al
low the butter to stand in the churn
sore time until it drains rather dry.
Sprinkle the salt over this and give
it the usual amount of working. Ex-
cessive moisture is held in butter that
is soft and not thoroughly drained.
Town of Many Vicissitudes.
Cattaro, the Austrian sea gate of
Montenegro, which was recently be-
lieved to be threatened by Prince Mich
olas' guns, was held by Montenegro
once for a time. Montenegro ac-
quired it in 1913 with the aid of a Brit
ish squadron. Any inhabitant of Cat.
taro who was contemporary with the
rise and fall of Napoleon must often
have had to pause and think what
country he belonged to. For, having
been Venetian for centuries, Cattaro
became Austrian by the treaty of
Eambo Formio, and Italian in 1905 by
the peace of Pressburg. 1t was alb
sorbed in the French empire in 1910,
and wrested from it in 1913. and
finally, in 1914, Russia compelled Mon
ten gro to give it up to Austria.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 19.-Ken-

per pound this year average from Il

as minimum and maximum respective
ly. Loose leaf sales have come into
popularity again, and warehouses OF
this type are being established in the
various counties. The dark tobacco
growers, however, are not favorine

Bank officials say that the state

owing to the pools, will relax on early

selling is indicated both by the poo

over the buried gunwales and now
she searched eagerly the boat itself.
Her inspection revealed nothing.
There were lockers at either end.
These she opened finding nothing
therein but Wondering remains OF

surmised might have contained ships
bread, and little barrel or key, which
had probably carried water for the
vOyagers.
The boat appeared to be in an ex-
cellent state of preservation. There
were even a pair of oars lying on the
thwarts. If she could have dug it out
of the sand entirely, she fancied she
could have launched it and used it..
But such task was utterly beyond
her. Besides there would have been
no gain in having the boat afioat. She
would not dare to take it out beyond
the barrier reef and there was nothing
to row for in the lagoon.
She easily broke the rotting lines
with which the oars were secured and
took them out They would be useful
perhaps in some way. And then after
a long look at the boat and with feel
ing that her labor had been mainly
wasted, she was about to turn away
when the thought struck her that
sometimes boats carried the names Of
the ships to which they belonged or
their bows or across their storms. She
had recourse to the shovel once more

edition, illustrated with rough wood
cuts, with the initial N. and the I'M

A number Of texts are underlined, and
the inference Is that the exiled en-

is perhaps the most significant of them.
