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 1G
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
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
80 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
lew the butter to stand in the churn
some time until it drains rather dry.

cessive moisture is held in butter that
is soft and not thoroughly drained.

Conn. Later he entered Wesleyan
university, Easthampton, Mass. After
graduating he became a full-fedged
newspaperman, starting at a salary
of Sc a week and working up in the
business until he became a Washing
ton correspondent.
He remained in Washington
throughout the Spanish-American
war. Neglecting the newspaper bust
ness when the first rush for the Alas.
kan gold fields was on he went to
Nome and turned miner. But by the
time Mr.. Clark had reached Nome
placer mining (the washing out of the
gold by hand), had become a venture
of no profit and he was compelled to
accept defeat. But before leaving
Alaska it's future governor made
trip around the peninsula in the rev.
enue cutter Bear, going as far as In
dian Head on the northeastern coast
of Siberia.
Returning to Seattle he was en-
gagged as Washington correspondent
of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. In
this connection Mr.. Clark mentioned
to his employers the possibilities of a
special Alaskan industrial edition. In
getting the material for this edition,
which won Mr.. Clark his reputation
as an Alaskan expert, he and his wife,
formerly Miss Lucy Norvell, maya
zine writer, made an S,000-mile trip
through the frozen north, visiting
every mining camp of consequence.
/. The late E. A. Hitchcock, secretary
of the interior, on the strength of this
edition, recommended Mr. Clark as
governor to succeed John G. Brady.
He refused to take the place, but
when it became a question of getting
successor for Gov. Hoggatt, Mr..
Clark's name was again suggested.
This time he took the job.

A Septic Tank.

pipe contains trap to prevent any
offensive gas passing up from the
drain to the creamery.
The waste flows into G, where a
rapid fermentation is Immediately set
up with formation Of large amount
of offensive gas. IL consequence, the
tank must be tight and supplied with
an air pipe, M, sufficiently long to rise
above the roof of the creamery and
carry away all offensive odors.
The section of the tank, C, is di-
vided by partition, F, coming to
within a foot of the water line. This
forms a chamber that will catch and
hold the greater part of the solid
matter that comes to the tank until it
is decomposed and washed away in a
soluble form.
When the second days waste flows
into the tank, the partially decom-
posed sewage passes into B through
the pipe, G, where the publication is
completed by further fermentation.
The discharge pipe, G, draws the
liquid from the middle portion, thus

PROPER COOLING OF MILK.
Danish Creamery Men Agitating for
Water Tanks to Set the Cars
for Moderatng.

There is quite an agitation among
the Danish creamery men to encour-
age the milk producers to have water
tanks made through which the water
used for the stock is pumped, in
which the cans of milk are set for cool
ing.
This old American scheme is no
doubt a great improvement over let
ting the cans take care of themselves,
but it would seem that, while one is
about it, it would be as well to secure
one of the many excellent tubular or
other milk coolers whereby the milk
is cooled virtually instantaneously to
within two or three degrees of the wa
ter used.
If the water pump is set going, be it
by hand or power, when milking is
commenced, a far better result is OBJ
tanned than when the cans are set in
a tank, where the cooling is much
slower, even if thu milk is stirred
occasionally, which is but seldom
done.
OF course it is desirable to have a
tank with cold water lin which to
place the cans when cooled, but as
the pump has to be used anyhow this
requires but little extra work.

WATER CONTENT IN BUTTER.
Moisture In Butter in Excess of IS
Per Cent. Makes 1t Liable to
Special Tax.

The dairy school of the University
of Wisconsin is constantly receiving
inquiries similar to the following and
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
thing? Is it against the law to sell
butter that has more than 16 per cent.
of moisture in it? | have seen in

Selma Butter and Cream.

The advantages of selling cream or
butter over that of selling while milk
are that the skinned milk and butter
milk can be used for feed on the farm,
the work does not demand such exact
ing care and hours, and the finished
product can be marketer at wider in
tervals with very much less weight to
handle. At the present high price of
hogs, the skinned milk and butter
milk are very valuable feeds for pigs.
SKINNED milk for this purpose is
worth almost as much as it paid in
some places for the whole milk. The
hand separator on the farm makes it
possible to secure more butter and
to get greater value for the separated
milk

Moisture in Butter.

The law allows 16 per cent. of moist
ure, or water, in butter offered for
sale. Any moisture in excess of this
amount is unlawful, and tax of ten
cents a pound is placed upon it, and
it must be sold as adulterated butter.
Butter worked in soft condition is
liable to hold more moisture than
when it is hard. In working butter
keep the temperature down to so de
grees by the use of cold water and
let the butter drain well in cool
place. Working the butter after 1t
has become cool relieves it of excess
