AduIteration Cnsuea Loss.

Farmers Bulletin $50, United States
Department of Agriculture, on the
adulteration of forage plant seeds, con-
tains the following conclusions:
Serious and intentional adulteration
of important forage plant seeds is fire.
quently practiced Seed is sometimes
misbranded.
1t is possible for purchasers to de-
tect most kinds of authorizations of
misbraLd of farm seeds.
In detecting adulteration it is nec-
essary to know what kinds of seeds are
subject to adulteration, the means en-
ployed in adulteration and the distin-
gushing character of both the crop
and the adulterant seeds.
A cheap magnifier sufices in dis
tinguishing crop seeds from other
kinds of seeds used in adulterants.
A simple terminating test discloses
the use of dead seed.
A little effort on the part of the
purchaser of seeds directed to the de-
lection of adulteration or misbranding
will prevent many instances of crop
failure.
1t is advisable to make tests for
adulteration at home; otherwise the
suspected seed may be sent to the seed
laboratory at Washington or to the
cooperative laboratories in Missouri,
Nebraska or. Oregon. A report on the
matter of adulteration will be made
promptly and without charge.

Fisby Butter.


What causes the fishy flavor in but
ter? That is something no one has
been able to find out until the govern
ment dairy foods undertook the task
But even the government cannot find
out all the causes, for there are more
than one. However, the main cause
seems to be some particular substance
produced by the oxidation of one of
the combinations of the acid develop
ment in the ripening of the cream. In
other words, it is caused by slow,
chemical change to which acid is es-
sential and which is favored by the
presence of small amounts of oxygen.
1t has been a generally accepted
theory among buttermakers that sour
cream made the best butter. This idea
is reversed by the Investigations
which bring forth the conclusion that
butter made from sweet cream Goes
not contain the elements that go to
make fishy flavor.
In all the experimental butter made
in the last three years there has been
no trace of flshy favor in that made
from pasteurized sweet cream, churn-
ed without the addition of a starter.
In butter made from pasteurized cream
with starter added, but without any
subsequent ripening, there has been
no fishy flavor, with one or two doubt
full exceptions On the other hand,
many lots of experimental butter made
from well ripened cream developed
marked fishiness
1t Is evident therefore that there is
a direct relation between the acidity
of cream and the development of fishy
flavor in the butter. However, as the
work progressed it became apparent
that the acidity, although having de-
termining influence on fishy flavor,
was not the sole cause.
With this factor controlled, it was
impossible to make butter with any
certainty that it would become fishy.
Frequently butter made from cream
with a high acidity showed no trace
of this flavor.
1t was found that overworking the
butter increased the tendency to fishi-
ness, and this flavor could be pro-
duced with reasonable certainty by
overworking high-acid butter. All but
ter contains considerable quantities of
air, and this is increased by the work
ing, thus producing conditions more
favorable to oxidation.
Fishy flavor may be prevented with
certainty, says Mrs. Rogers, the gov
eminent expert, by making butter
from pasteurized cream, without
ripening. The addition Of a starter to
pasteurized sweet cream, without sub
sequent ripening improves the flavor
of the fresh butter without adding
enough acid to cause fshiness. Pas
teuriZation of sour cream will not pre-
vent the development of fishy flavor.

FRIEND OF THE HUMAN RACE.
Place the Bee Has in Producing the
Eruits of the Earth.

If every farmer and fruit grower
were to take the advice offered recent
ly in a remarkable lecture before the
Farmers Club British crops would
probably be multiplied in value by
millions of pounds, says the London
Daily Mail
Mr. Herrod, proving his contentious
by admirable slides, made out the bee
to be one of the greatest friends of
the human race. Formic acid, which
no chemist can make, is obtained di-
rect from the bees in America and
used as a cure for rheumatism, and
in the hospitals honey is now en-
ployed as a valuable substitute for cod
liver oil.
But the farmer and fruit grower re-
ceive the most valuable boon. 1t is
proved that apples are earlier, larger
and much more numerous where bees
are in quantity. Some beautiful pho
tographs showed that misshapen and
stunted apples are due principally to
bad fertilization. and the perfect straw
berry needs 100 to 300 acts of fertil-
ization. New Zealand, which now ex-
ports clover seed, could not grow any
till a cargo of humble bees was sent
over and a number of California fruit
growers failed till bees were kept.
The marvellous statement of Darwin
that flowers, especially red clover are
finer where cats are most numerous
was corroboratsd. Only the humble
bee fertilizes the first crop of red clo-
yer; the smallest flowers of the second
crop can be reached by honey bees;
the great enemy of the humble bee is
the field mouse; the great enemy of
the field mouse is the cat. There
fore, flowers are best where cats are
many. 1t would be not less true to
say that the clover is best where owls
are most frequent.
Many most persuasive photographs
showed that the crop Of gooseberries,
currants, apples and pears is much
more dependent on the bees than on
the weather, except so far as the
weather prevents the bees working.

An OPPORTUNITY for Aldrich.

An Opportunity for Aldrich.
Some time ago the senior senator
from Rhode Island. Nelson wilmarth
Aldrich. told the senate that if he were
given an opportunity to reorganize and
superintend the national system of gov
eminent he would save the taxpayers
of the United States sSo0,000,000 a
year.
If such small items are not beneath
his notice. there is little matter right
in his own little state that affords him
an opportunity for economy, says tie
Chicago Journal.
The river and harbor bill. commonly
known as the pork barrel and used
to vote public money without excuse
into doubtful territory, contains this
year among its total $50 100000 of APP
preparations an item of $4,000 toward
converting Great Salt pond, Block Is
land, r. l.. into a harbor of refuge.
In 1868 government engineers re-
ported that this project was not FEAST
BILE. In 1893 Capt Bixby, for the gov
eminent, condemned it not only as inn
possible, but, because of The nearness
of three good harbors and the harbor
under construction at Point Judith, as
an unnecessary waste of money. The
division engineer reported likewise.
In 1894 the river and harbor bill or
dered a survey Then harbor work
was begun. To date $4,000 of good
money out of the pockets of the tax
payers has been thrown away on a
project condemned by every engineer
who has examined it.
Has anyone heard protest from
Senator Aldrich?
The State of Rhode Island put $14,
900 into the work. and abandoned it
as useless In December, 1909, the fed
eral engineering department advised
that no further money be expended on
Great Salt pond Yet politicians in
Congress propose to waste another $780,
600 this year in this sink hole
Will Mr.. Aldrich permit this fragrant
diversion OF public funds to political
purposes? Is a mere matter of 100000
year too small for his scheme of
economy?
Or can it be possible that his concep-
tion of economy would not prevent dig
ging useless harbors when to stop such
criminal waste of public funds might
cost a few votes that 100000 would
make safe for Aldrich and Aldrichism?

Regardless of the manner in hatch
ing, keep the young chicks dry till

wet ground or floors. Wet feet will
soon result in bowel trouble, and bowel

In speaking of dry feet, it may also
be said that hens will always do bet

are always dry. For this reason the
floor of the hen house should be raised
above the level of the surrounding
