CHEAP SEED CORN.

If reports from those parts of the
corn belt which were visited by the
killing October freeze are to be believ-
ed $40 is about the price which will be
paid for seed corn showing an aver
age test Of SO per cent. Buying seed
corn at this figure is expensive bust
ness, but it comes a long way from
being as expensive a proceeding as
planting in good soil two dollar seed
corn that will test but so per cent and
that is neither good nor strong. In
buying seed corn the coming spring it
will be well to keep clearly in mind
5he fact that one bushel of good seed
will plant seven acres, which even on
the $40 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
extra that ne will get from planting
seed that will grow are worth rs cents.

HOW ruRERcuLlN is MADE.

There seems to be an idea in the
minds of some that the injection Of
tuberculin into the system of a 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 descrip-
ton Of the method of preparing the
serum given below, taken from a bull
letin recently published by DR.. c. II.
STANCE of the Iowa Agricultural col
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). 1t is then inoculated with
pure culture of the tubercle bacillus
and kept in an incubator at % de-
grees f. In the course of a few
weeks the tubercle bacilli will have
formed a 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 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.

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
not less than per cent of butter fat
nor less than 1914 per cent of milk SOL
ids. The butter fat content is readily
determined by the Babcock test, which
is simply made by adding to a 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 it 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 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 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 fioated 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 per cent the total solids
would be equal to x IL plus 80 :. A.
or 4S plus 8, or 1913. 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
GO degrees one-tenth should be sub
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 80 plus fve-tenths,
or 1926. and if the reading of the lac
tometer is 55 degrees five-tenths should
be subtracted from 80. which would
make the correct reading 31.5.
