HOW TUBERcULIN IS MADE,


There seems TO be an idea in the
minds of some that the injection or
tuberculin into the system Of q cow
which does not have tuberculosis may
In some mysterious way develop the
disease in her. This is wrong idea,
as win be understood from descrip-
ton OF the method of preparing the
serum given below, taken from q bull
letin recently published by Dr. G. Fl.
STANCE of the Iowa Agricultural col
lege Mt Ames:
"a bouillon is prepared with beef or
veal infusion containing from to 6
per cent OF glycerin. This is placed
In TASKS and sterili=ed cheated to n
temperature sufficient TO kill all living
-organisms). 1t is then inoculated with
pure culture of the tubcrcle bacillus
and kept in an incubator at 90 de-
grees L. In the course of n few
weeks the tubercle bacilli will have
formed i coarse granular scum ON the
surface. The contents of the flask
are now poured into a porcelain dish
and heated until evaporation reduces
Id to One-tenth OF its volume. 1t is
then filtered through porcelain filter
Th" 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 bacilh.
Tuberculin is therefore the bouillon in
which the tubercle bacillus has been
grown and contains the toxic material
produced by it's growth. but the heat
20 which the preparation IS subjected
effectively destroys all germ life"

ApuLrEEATloN Or MILK.


A Missouri reader OF these notes
writes inquiring II 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 3 per cent of butter fat
nor less than 121a 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 it bears to the whole can
be easily determined. If the butter
fat content is less than 5 per cent
there liz good reason for believing that
the milk has been adulterated or is
from a 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 a glass or tin cylinder one
and a 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 ut u
temperature Of 60 degrees f., though
the reading may be taken from 80 to
70 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 81 and the fat according to the Bah
cock test is 4 per cent the total solids
or is plus s, or 12.S. If the tempera-
ture Of the milk is above 60 degrees
Il. one-tenth should be added to the
lactometer reading for each degree
above, and II 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 s. degrees Il. Is 80 the corrected
reading would be 81 plus tive-tenths,
or 32.5, and if the reading of the lac
tometer is 55 degrees tive-tenths should
be subtracted from 81, which would
make the correct reading S15.
