New Invention to Weiah Cream.

The Wisconsin hydrostatic cream bal
ance is a new invention just produced
at the University of Wisconsin dairy
school by members of the agricultural
experiment station force, which meets
long recognized need for simple,
inexpensive and accurate device to
weigh the cream in the Babcock test
bottles. Accurate balances of deli
cate construction have been made be-
fore, but they are far too expensive
| for the ordinary farm and dairy uses.
There are also cheap scales, but these
are inaccurate. The first model of this
new balance, the first cheap and accu
rate instrument of the sort, is on exhi-
bition at the national dairy show as
part of the exhibit of the dairy de-
partment of the College Of Agriculture.
The hydrostatic balance consists of
brass float specially devised on the
lines of a hydrometer to float In a
cylinder of water in vertical position.
This supports a small platform. on
which are placed cream bottle and
nine gram weight. Small one-tenth
gram weights are added until the float
sinks to line on the spindle support
ing the platform. The nine gram
weight is then removed, causing the
float to rise again. When the cream
Is poured into the bottle through a
pipette in sufficient amount the plat
form sinks again to the line on the
spindle and the cream is weighed ac
curately to the drop. Although so del
icate that single drop affects thu
balance, the weighing can be done
rapidly.

BLACKBERRY CULTURE.

Planting May Be Done In the Fall 81
Spring.
The blackberry may be planted IL
the fall or early In the spring. But II
planted too early in the fail young
growth may start, which is likely "a
be winter killed. The soil should be
we'll prepared and the plants set lit
tie deeper than they were in the nurs-
cry In rows about eight feet apart and
three feet apart in the rows. Some
growers prefer planting them In hills
seven or eight feet apart each way.
thus finding them easier to control
Larger fruit is SO produced. as they
can be kept cultivated both ways.
Summer pruning Is important with the
blackberry, as the lower the canes can
be kept the better they are likely to
come through the winter and the cas-
Ter they are to handle. Summer prun
ing consists In merely pinching back
the young growth to within about
eighteen inches of the ground, after
which side shoots will be thrown out.
1t is better to err on the side of low
pinching than to let the canes get too
tall.
The summer pruning may If delayed
cause late growth, which will not
ripen; hence 1t should be done In time
or not at all In the spring the laterals
should be headed back to within eight.

Many valuable cows and heifers
have been sold at a sacrifice by the
owner owing to the fact that they
were hard mixers, says the Agricul
turlst. The cause OF hard milking
cows is SO little understood by the av-
erage stOckman that the disposal of
such animals is accounted for In that
way. But IL stockmen knew how easy
1t Is to overcome hard milking In both
cows and heifers we are sure that no
animal would be disposed Of for lack
Of treatment
Hard milking is due to an abnormal
contraction of the sphincter muscle,
regulating the stream OF milk from
the point of the teat. On the other
hand. when a COW loses her milk IL is
due to relaxation or an abnormal
expansion of the sphlncter muscle at
the point Of the teat.

A distinguished naturalist carefully
examined the stomachs of fifteen moles
caught In different localities. but failed
to discover therein the slightest YES
tige OF plants or roots; on the contrary,
they were filed with the remains of
earthworms. Not satisfied by this
fact, he shut up several moles in a
box containing sods of earth, on which
fresh grass was growing, and a smaller
cage Of grubs and earthworms. In
nine days two moles devoured $40

which had been alive in the box. He
next gave them nothing but vegetables.
In twenty y-four hours two moles died
OF starvation. Another naturalist cal
culated that two moles destroyed 90
600 white worms or grubs in a single
year. II this Is correct 1t is a strong
argument in favor of multiplying
rather than destroying the moles.

piled with pure water. 1t may come
from a well or a cistern, where the
country is level, and in hill countries
the water may often be brought III

house and barn. Iron pipes are cheap,
and 1t is easy to carry the water to
any point desired in the house or other
place if only you have a good spring on
a higher level.
For cooling the milk or butter it is
better to have large cold spring and
set the milk products in the water as

watering the cows and other purposes
It should be brought In pipes when
