CAUSE OF TEST VARIATIONS
Errors Are Often Made, Especially in
Taking Samples, Thus Creating
Much Dissatisfaction.

Variation in tests has caused much
dissatisfaction in the selling of cream.
When the cream is from the same
cows, which have been fed the same
ration and MIXED by the same man,
and when the same separator is used,
the farmer naturally thinks the per
cent. of fat in the cream should re-
main the same.
Errors are often made in making
tests, especially in taking the sample,
but variations constantly occur that
are due to other causes. The most
common causes of these variations, as
pointed out in a circular by Prof. G.
H. Eckles of the Missouri Agricultural
Experiment station, Columbia, Mo-,
are as follows:
l. Variations in the speed of the
separator.
e. Variation in temperature of milk
separated
8. Rate the milk flows into the ma
chine
4. Amount of water or skim milk
used in flushing out the bowl.
5. Change in the richness of the
milk separated
g. Adjustment of the cream screw.
Change in the speed of the separa-
tor is the most common cause of var1-
alton. The greater the speed of the
separator, the smaller the amount OF
cream and the higher the per cent of
fat.
Again, the temperature of the milk
separated varies on the farm from day
to day. If cream tests 80 per cent.
when the milk is separated at 80 de-
grees, it may test as high as 40 per
cent. when separated at 70 degrees.
Under average conditions on the farm,
however, the variation in fat due to
change of temperature will not amount
to more than three to four per cent.
4 third cause of variation is found
IN the rate at which the milk flows
In % the machine. If less than the
regular quantity flows into the bowl,
the tendency is to increase the per
cent. of fat in the cream.
The richness Of the milk separated
affects the richness but not the guam
tity of cream. The richness of
cows milk depends on inheritance and
cannot be changed permanently by
feed.
Small variations are likely to occur
from the other causes suggested. By
the use of an ordinary Babcock testing
machine and by measuring the sample
of cream into the test bottle with the
same pipette as Is used for measuring
milk, any farmer can make a test or
his cream that will satisfy him as to
the accuracy of the test he receives
from the cream buyer.

Attention Bestowed Is Well Repaid by
Improvement Made in APP
pearance.

The most neglected feature of the
face is the eyebrows. Yet, perhaps,
more of ones expression depends
upon them than on any other feature.
Do not omit day without drawing
the eyebrows gently between thumb
and fingers from the bridge of the
nose outward. Do this several times.
If the eyebrows are thin and scant,
cultivate them with the same care
given to the hair. Rubbing with
vaseline at night and washing 1t off
with hot and then cold water in the
morning will induce growth.
What is more disgusting than scaly
eyebrows or signs of dandruff? Yet
who has not seen these conditions on
apparently well groomed women
Fight it as one would any other germ.
TONES used for the scalps can be care
fully applied to the eyebrows with a
clean camel's hair paint brush. After

The ideal eyebrow is thinly penciled
and arched. Almost any one can do
some training along these lines with
promise of success.

Prevent Milk Fever,

While milk fever is no longer a fatal
disease owing to the discovery of the
simple remedy of air distention, it
should be prevented rather than cured.
The trouble is caused by collapse and
chill. These can be prevented by not
drawing off all the milk in cows
udder for "a hours or more after
calving. Then milk only enough to
keep down distention. After the Sec
opd day the cow may be MIXED out
clean. Never let any inflammation
arise from too much distention and
when the shock of the calving has
passed she will be beyond all danger
of milk fever.

FRUIT SALADS GROW
IN POPULARITY

Nearly all kinds OF fruits lend them
selves 10 the making OF salads. The
growing popularity OF these Is ac-
counted for by the variety OF ways In
which they may be combined. served
and garnished and TO the fact that
they can be made any time OF the
year from whatever fruit happens TO
be In season-berries, pineapple and
peaches In summer; malaga grapes,
apples, oranges, celery and nuts In
winter.
Cream dressings. with the sharp
condiments omitted, are used instead
OF a mayonnaise. while cream whip
ped stiff gives a white dressing that
contrasts atractively with the. bright
colored fruit. Where fruis ond cream
are not eaten together. the stiff.y
beaten white Of eggs are substituted;
lemon and may be tinted delicate
pink with cake or fruit ,coloring.
When apples and celery are used
the addition of tiny bit of cinnamon
or some candied ginger gives the de-
sired spicy flavor.
Olives. cream cheese, crisp crackers
or rich cookies are proper accompani-
ments for salads.
Breakfast Salad-In an individual
salad dish place few thin strips Of
pineapple, sprinkle with powdered
sugar. Place some ripe Strawberries,
cut In halves, on the pineapple, and
garnish with grape fruit cut very fine.
On this place a spoonful of salad
dressing and sprinkle on more sugar.
Thorndyke Salad-One-half pound
English walnuts. chopped fine. One
cup celery, cut fine; one tablespoon Of
preserved ginger. cut In tiny bits: one
half pound OF malaga grapes, seeded
and cut In havles; three bananas sliced
fine; one can OF grated pineapple or
one large pineapple grated; juice OF
three lemons; two apples, chopped IN
bits: four oranges, pared and sliced.
Alternate the layers of fruit with pow
dered sugar; garnish top with blanch-
ed almonds and strawberries; then
pour dressing over and chill.
Orange Salad-Peel sour oranges
and cut In very thin slices, then cut
In quarters. Marinate with one-third
cup olive oil, three tablespoons lemon
juice, one-third teaspoon salt, one
quarter teaspoon paprika. and serve on
watercress or lettuce.
Banana Salad-Peel bananas and
cut in half lengthwise. Place two
halves on individual salad plates on
lettuce leaves. Put a teaspoon salad
dressing on each. and sprinkle over
them ground peanuts.
Peach Salad-Pare quart Of ripe
peaches and slice thin. Chop one-half
cup almonds. Mix fruit and nuts with
a dressing made of two parts mayor

and serve at once on lettuce leaves.

THE HONEST COUNCILMAN.
Rx Stuart q. Stone.

When The Honest Councilman"
died there was great grief in the city.
He was the only one among hundreds
of grating councilmen who was unani-
mously acclaimed by the citizens as
honest.
Immediately following The Honest
Councilman's death. the poorer
classes OF the city began an agitation
10 erect a fitting monument to his
memory. Such a movement, 1t was
felt. would be peculiarly appropriate.
The Honest Councilman" few
years before his death, had framed ana
secured the passage OF an ordinance
whereby the city, at its own expense,
erected a handsome stone tombstone,
instead OF the customary board af-
fair. at the head of every pauper's
grave.
But Just as the movement was wei.
afoot, The Honest Councilmans" will
vas read In 1t there was clause
which declared that he had made all
arrangements for the erection OF a
tombstone at the head OF his grave. A
live young reporter Immediately made
a tour of the city's tombstone dealers
and finally came to one particularly
prosperous establishment. Just in
side the door he saw the aged pro-
prietor chipping away at very
meager stone. The reporter glanced
at this stone and saw that 1t was In
tended for THE Honest Councilman"
Then you are the man with whom
The Honest Councilman made ar
rangements for his tombstone" the
reporter asked,
The man nodded.
The reporter glanced around the
room and saw a large number OF tomb
stones designed for paupers' graves.
"Ah!" the reporter calculated
again, you hold the contract for fur
nishing the city with the paupers'
headstones?"
Eyes" the man replied, 1.-The Hon.

While the man was speaking the re-
porter picked up one OF the paupers

price, the object was not stone al
all, but cement cleverly disguised.
