NEW IDEA OF READING TESTS
Prof. harrington Devlses Practical
Method Of Ascertainins Accurate
iy Amount Of Fat.

One of the important points in test.
ing cream by the Babcock test is to
measure the fat accurately after 1t is
separated in the neck Of the test bot.
tie. The bottom of the fat column is
approximately straight line, but the
top has a concave surface, or mems
Gus, which often occupies space of
nearly one per cent of the graduated
scale on the neck of the bottle, writes
Prof. Il. II. Harrington of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin in Heard's Dairy
man.
Considerable discussion has arisen
as to whether the fat should be read
to the top, the bottom, or to some
other point on this meniscus.
This uncertainty can be entirely
overcome by dropping a small guam
tity of alcohol into the neck of the
test bottle after the cream test Is
completed. The alcohol floats on the
fat and changes its concave surface
to nearly a straight line. This use
of alcohol has long been known, but
as alcohol dissolves fat, the practice
is not to be recommended, as 1t re
duces the length of the fat column

TWO IDEALS OF THE FAMILY.
For Comparison, One May Be Called
Despotic and the other DEM
ocratic.

To-day two ideals of the family are
struggling for mastery-the old des-
potic family, of Roman origin and &C.
clesiastical sanction, based on the au-
thority of the husband and the merg-
Ing of the wife's legal personality in
his, and the democratic family, OF Ger
manic origin, based on the consenting
and harmonious wills of two equals.
The one goes naturally with pioneer.
Ing, agriculture and warfare, which
put men to the fore; the other goes
with industry. peace and city life,
which add to the consequence of wom-
en-. In proportion as women escape
from abject mental dependence on
men and find point of view of their
own. they spurn patriarchal claims
and expect marriage to be the union
of equal wills. What with more girls
than boys in the high schools, and
half as many women as men In col
lege, 1t is not surprising that women
more and more enter marriage with a
connubial ideal of their own Never.
theless, the men they wed-many Of
them-cherish the conviction that the
husband is the rightful head" of the
family. The resulting clash of ideals
Is none the less disastrous because 1t
is only an incident of transition

WHAT'S THE USE or KICKING7
the Practice, and Asks Above
Question.

If kicking would help sosue it would
be worth while, but it does not. On
the contrary, 1t hinders.
Then why do rational, sensible men
and women indulge in it?
There is question that is worthy
of more than passing thought. for
1t relates to human comfort, prosper
lily, and success:
Why do you kick when things do
not go to please you?
Is it not because you were taught
to do SO? Didn't your parents, your
big brothers and sisters, and maybe
the men and women you admired.
grumble and complain, or kick, when
things did not go to suit them, even
when its fault was their own?
And are not your children learning
In the same way from you?
Maybe you had no thought of this
before? Now that your attention has
been called to 1t, and you have thought
about 1t, If you do not act accordingly
you will not be doing right, and to
fail to do that which you know to be
right is to sin.
Kicking is, therefore, sign of Ill
breeding, and one that young folks
should take into account when choos-
ing life partners, for kicker in matri-
monial harness loses the race, besides
creating much confusion. - Newark

somewhat and therefore. gives too low
a reading of the per cent. of fat.
The suggestion has recently been
made by DR.. Babcock that this solvent
action of alcohol on fat can be over
come by first adding to the alcohol
all the fat 1t will dissolve, and then
pouring small quantity Of this fat
saturated alcohol on the top of the fat
column in the test bottle. The top
and the bottom of the fat column APP
pear as nearly straight lines. giving
two exact points between which the
fat can be measured.
The diagrams illustrate the differ
ence in appearance of the top of the
fat column before and after using the
fat-saturated alcohol. Bottle No.
shows the top meniscus of the fat
which occupies space between A
and B of nearly one per cent. on the
scale. The test of this cream could
be read to 1910, 1875 or 200, depending
on the selection of A, B or C as the
point to which the fat is read.
Bottle 2 shows the appearance of
the top of the fat column after the fat
saturated alcohol has been added.
The alcohol (D) makes a nearly
straight line at the top of the fat
column, so that the test can be read
at the point G without any uncertain
ty as to the height of the fat column.
The fat-saturated alcohol is pre-
pared by adding about a teaspoonful
of butter fat to six ounces of alcohol
in bottle.
Warm and shake the bottle until the
alcohol has dissolved all the fat pos
sible; some of it will be left undis-
solved at the bottom of the bottle.
This fat-saturated alcohol should be
used for reading the tests as soon as
they are completed, while the fat is
still liquid.
A little shaking of the test bottle
after adding the alcohol will some
times make the line between the fat
and the alcohol more distinct.

USE CARE IN TRANSATLANTIC
Attention and Careful Nursing Re-
quired to Compensate for the
Shock In Moving.

Moving plants IRON one locality to |
another is more or less of violent OPP
Grafton. BY the process the plant is
deprived of quite number OF its iced
ing roots and for time is cut on from
its water supply; consequently 1t is
necessary to exercise considerable
care with the plant until it again be-
comes established in the soil. To help
insure this an abundant supply oil
moisture in the soil at all times is es-
sential to keep the plant from willing
and incite it to take hold OF the SOIL
quickly In sections where irrigation
is practiced the transplanted plants
should be irrigated Immediately after
setting, and frequently afterward until
danger of their dying out is passed
This can be told by the plants freshen-
ing up and starting new leaves. II Is
also very essential in setting the
plants out to firm the soil well around
the roots. This is very important and
should not be neglected. Many plants
have failed ON account of not doing
this. Proper firming of the soil helps
to exclude air from the roots and
prevents the plants from drying up.
In sections where irrigation is not
practiced plants are preferably trans
planted during rainy SPELL IL this
cannot be taken advantage of it will
be necessary to water the plants by
hand until they are established. When
doing this do it thoroughly; a little
water is sometimes nearly as bad as
none.
In moving the young plants from
the seed bed to the field and until set
out they should be protected from the
rays of the sun to prevent whiting.
This protection can be given by wrap
ping the roots up in wet sack or car
rying to the field in bucket or tub
with a little water in the bottom to
keep the roots moist. When digging
| the plants out of the seed bed use a
shovel or spade and avoid breaking off
as many roots as possible. 1t is also
better to wet the bed first. If the
plants are very tall 1t will be well to
! cut off a part of the top. The opera
| ton will not hurt the plant and helps
to keep it from whiting, as 1t pre-
vents excessive evaporation of moist
