HOW rusERcultN IS MADE.

There seems to be an Idea in the minds of some that the injection of tubercuiin into the system of a COW which does not have tuberculosis may in some mysterious way develop the disease ID her This is wrong idea. as will be understood from descrip- tion of the method of preparing the serum given below taken from a bull ietin recently published by Dr. c. H. Stange of the Iowa Agricultural col iege at Ames:
 "i bouillon is prepared with beef or veal infusion containing from to 6 y,er cent of glyeerin. This is placed in fiasks and steriiized (heated to a temperature sufficient to kill all living orga anisms,. It Is then inoculated with a pure culture of the tubercle bacillus and kept in an incubator at 9S de- grees Y. Tn the course of . few weeks the tuberele bacilli will have formed . coarse granular scum on the surface. The contents of the flask are DOW poured into a porcelain dish and heated until evaporation reduces 1t to Oae-fenfh of its volume. It is then filtered through q porcelain nlter. The liquid passing through the filter is fubereulin. The heat required to concentrate the fluid before filtration is sufficient to kill all baciili, while the filter removes aii the dead baeilli. Tuberculin is therefore the bouillon in which the tubercle bacillus has been grown and contains the toxic material produced by its growth. but the heat to which the preparation is subjected effectively destroys all germ life"

arown and Black.

in one of the middle west cities there lived a local wit and his favorite butt. Both were prominent clubmen and en- .livened the same social set. One was i named Black and the other Brown. Black was immaculate in his dress. Ywhile Brown was careless, often wear ing his finger nails in mourning and a not immaculate collar with a dress suit But family connections excused i his shortcomings. One evening the pair arrived at a reception and met the hostess simultaneously. The two names mentioned together suggested a bon mot to. Brown. but the opening was disastrous.
 ''The, colors are very much in evi- dence tonight" said Brown.
 Touwhieh their hostess replied. Yes. l see they are. and. if rumor is to be credited. they are fast colors."
 No, mo-" broke in Black. Brown won'twwash.''

ApulTERArloN oE MIX.

X Missouri reader of these notes writes fnquiring if there is any sim pie and correct way of ascertaining whether sweet milk has been adulter- ated In several states the pure foed laws require that milk shall contain not less than 2 Der cent of butter fat nor less than i2ls per cent of milk sol ids. The butter fat content is readily determined hs the Babeoek test. which is simply nude by adding to gradu- ated test tube of fhe milk three or four drops of concentrated sulphuric acid. which ealtSes the fatty content To separate as yellow butter oil and rise to the top If the tube. when the proportion 1t bears te the whole can he easily determined. lf the butter fat eeaietf tx less than 2 per cent there k seed reaSen fer believing that the milk has been adulterated or is from mightY poor caw. The mix solids are readily determined by the Quevenne saetometer. aud We are in- aebfed to Professor Mortensen. direct or of the department of dairying al the State college II Ames. la. for the following directions for using it.
 Take q glass er tin cylinder one and q half inches in diameter and one inch high and fill about three-fourths full of the milk to be tested. The milk should be thoroughly mixed be- fore the sample is taken and be at temperature of 6o degrees F., though the reading may be taken from 50 to 70 degrees. The lactometer is placed in the milk and the reading taken after it has ioated in the milE for minute. At the same time there should be reading of the temperature on the thermometer with which the lac tometer is equipped. The total solids are ascertained by adding one and two-tenth times the per cent of fat to one-fourth of the lactometer reading For example. if the lactometer reading Is g and the fat according to the Bab- cock test is per cent the total solids would be equal to x 1.2 plus 32 + 4. or AS plus s, or l2S If the tempera- ture of the milk is above 60 degrees r. one-tenth should be added to the lactometer reading for each degree GUoNe, dDu II tHt Nttule-i ututc iS oCso" 50 degrees one-tenth should be sub tracted from the iacfometer reading for each thermometer degree below. For example. if the lactometer reading at 65 degrees F. Is g. the corrected reading would be g plus five-tenths. or 32.5. and if the reading of the lac tometer Is 55 degrees fiye-tenths should k.o ss.hfra cfod from 20 which would make the correct reading 31.5.

CHEAP SEED CORN.

If reports from those parts of the :orn belt which were visited by the killing October freeze are to be beiiev ed S1o is about the price which will be paid for seed corn showing an aver age test Of s,5 per cent. Buying seed corn at this figure is expensive busi- hess. but fl comes long way from being as expensive a proceeding as planting In good soil two dollar seed corn that will test but go per cent and that is neither good nor strong. in buying seed corn the coming spring fl Will be well 10 keep clearly in mind the fact that one busheI of good seed will plant seven acres. which even on the $10 basis makes the cost of seed per acre but <1.45. The question for the farmer to settle would seem to be whether the twenty to thirty bushels exfr4 that he will get from planting seed thar will grow are worth 75 cents.
