HOW rUeERcULlN Is MADE.

There seems to be an idea in the
minds Of some that the injection Of
tuberculin into the system of COW
which does not have tuberculosis may
in some mysterious way develop the
disease in her This is a wrong idea
as will be understood from a descrip-
ton Of the method of preparing the
serum given below, taken from a bull
letin recently published by DR.. c. H.
lege at Ames:
"A bouillon is prepared with beef or
veal infusion containing from to 6
per cent of glycerin. This is placed
in TASKS and sterilized cheated to a
temperature sufficient to kill all living
organisms). It. is then inoculated with
a pure culture of the tubercle bacillus
and kept in en- incubator at 90 de-
grees F. In the course of few
weeks the tuoercle bacilli will have
formed coarse granular scum on the
surface. The contents Of the flask
are now poured into a porcelain dish
and heated until evaporation reduces
It to one-tenth Of its volume. 1t is
then filtered through a porcelain filter.
The liquid passing through the filter
is tuberculin. The heat required to
concentrate the fluid before filtration
is sufficient to kill all bacilli, while
the filter removes all the dead bacilli.
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

ADULTERATlON OF MILK.

ADUITERATICk OF MILK.
A Missouri reader OF these notes
writes inquiring If there is any sim
pie and correct way Of ascertaining
whether sweet milk has been adulter-
ated. In several states the pure food
laws require that milk shall contain
nor less than 1919 per cent of milk SOL
ids. The butter fat content is readily
determined by the Babcock test, which
is simply made by adding to gradu
ated test tube of the milk three or
four drops of concentrated sulphuric
acid, which causes the fatty content
to separate as yellow butter oil and
rise to the top Of the tube, when the
proportion 1t bears to the whole can
be easily determined. If the butter
fat content is less than 3 per cent
there is good reason for believing that
the milk has been adulterated or is
from mighty poor COW. The milk
solids are readily determined by the
Quevenne lactometer, and we are in
debted to Professor Mortensen, direct
or of the department of dairying at
the State college at Ames. Ia, for the
following directions for using it:
"Take glass or tin cylinder one
and a half inches in dia meter and one
inch high and I'LL 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 a
temperature of 60 degrees F., though
the reading may be taken from so to
20 degrees. The lactometer is placed
in the milk and the reading taken
after it has floated in the milk for a
minute. At the same time there should
be a 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 80 and the fat according to the Bah
cock test is 4 per cent the total solids
would be equal to * IL plus 80 =. 4.
or 4.S plus 8, or 1928. If the tempera-
ture of the milk is above 60 degrees
F. one-tenth should be added to the
lactometer reading for each degree
above, and if the temperature is below
60 degrees one-tenth should be SUBJ
tracted from the lactometer reading
for each thermometer degree below.
For example, if the lactometer reading
at 65 degrees F. is 80 the corrected
reading would be 50 plus five-tenths,
or 32.5, and if the reading of the lac
tometer is 30 degrees fve-tenths should
be subtracted from SO, which would
make the correct reading 31.5.

Milk. sweet or sour, is a most valu-
able adjunct in the ration for the flock
Of hens and should be provided for
them whenever possible. 1t furnishes
them food elements in a form which
they relish and which is at the same
time easily digested and assimilated.

RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED


Murdo Mackenzie of Trinidad, Colo,
president of the American Live Stock
association, was made chairman of
the meeting and gave figures to show
railroad earnings, declaring that rail-
road reports do not show them cor
rectly.
Chairman Mackenzie was appointed
the head of committee of seven, the
other members of which he shall
choose, to present the declaration of
the conference to President Taft and
to select one or more persons to rep
resent the states of the middle west
in the hearing before the interstate
commerce commission relative to rate
advances.
Resolutions adopted by the confer
ence declare that 'if, after exhaustive
investigation by the interstate COM
merce commission, 1t is proved the rail
carriers are not now receiving ade-
uuate compensation, based on a correct
valuation of their property, We would
heartily favor such increase in rates,
equitably applied, as would afford fair
earnings on capital invested.
eff the investigation develops that
adequate revenue is now being derived,
the advances demanded should be Wig
orously opposed.
sIf It should be discovered that the
railroads are already enjoying an un-
reasonable percentage of profit on their
investment such action should be
taken as will bring about reduction
of rates to such basis as will be
equitable to carriers and to shippers,
producers and consumers alike.
1--WE urge the interstate commerce
commission thoroughly to investigate
the operating expenses TO find what
betterments are added thereby to
property and all the conditions and
Valuations of railway properties, re-
gardless of the time that may be con-
sumed in order to obtain an intelligent
basis for the consideration of the pro-
posed advance in rates.
1--WE hereby declare 1t to be the duty
of congress to enact a mandatory law
making it the duty of the interstate
commerce commission to make a
searching investigation into the actual
physical valuation of all the railroads
in the United States"
