THE HOMOGENIZER
An Interesting Recent Dairy
Machine Invention
BY EUGENE III. MAILER
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture

One of the most interesting inven-
lions of recent years in dairy machin-
cry Is the homogenizer. 1t has been
in use in France and Germany for
about ten years. 1t IS now coming into
use in the United States, because our
hotels and ice cream factories are
using the machine more extensively.
The homogenizer converts cream
which has low percentage of fat into
cream which to all appearance and
taste, has a much higher fat content.
The fact is, however, that the per-
centage of fat is exactly the same. On
first thought, one might object to be-
ing deceived in this manner, but after
further consideration one will find no
reason for complaint. The homogen-
izeG cream tastes exactly like the
cream with larger percentage of fat,
and has approximately the same food
value as the richer cream. Further
more, the cream which has been homo
genized is much more easily digested.
This advantage counteracts the disad-
vantages of low fat content
The homogenizer causes the cream
to appear richer owing to the fact
that when It has passed through the
machine the large fat globules are d.
vided into very small uniform globules
which do not move about freely in the
cream. These small uniform fat par
ticles make the cream viscSus and pre-
vents it from rising to the top as it
does in ordinary milk. Another effect
of the division of the globules is to
create a greater exterior surface on
the mass of the small particles than
exist on the mass of larger particles.
1t is obvious that if large globule
is divided into two smaller globules
the sum Of the exposed surfaces of the
smaller ones will be greater than the
exposed surface of the larger. Because
of the greater exposed surface, the
friction Of the fat globules is consider
ably increased, and this increase in
friction improves the whipping and ice
cream qualities of the cream enorm-
ously This, in brief, is how the homo
genizer transforms cream from a
poorer to apparently high grade.
The dairy department at the univer-
sity has been experimenting with the
homogenixer for the past few months.
A great deal of interest has been
manifested in the machine; in fact, so
much that several students are carry
ing en- Investigations with it for their
master thesis. The department has
fourd the interesting fact that an

Canada at The
Chicago Land Show
WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT EX-
HIBIT OF GRAINS AND
GRASSES, VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.

A carload of grain in straw, grasses
and other of the products of Western
Canada arrived at Chicago the other
day, and is now installed in the
Coliseum, where the United States
land and irrigation exposition is under
way. Those who are interested in
the "Back to the land movement" will
find in the Canadian exhibit one Of
the best displays of the agricultural
products of Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre-
sentative men there, who will be
pleased to give the fullest information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands of that
country and most of the grain was
produced on the farms of former resi-,
dents of the United States who have
taken advantage of the homestead
lands Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta.
The vegetable exhibit will attract
a great deal of attention, and some
marvellous potatoes, carrots, turnips,
cabbage and caulifower are shown.
It is true that the homestead area
is being rapidly taken up and the
bulk of that now to be had lies north
OF the Saskatchewan river in a por-
ton of the country known as the park
country. Here there Is a large guam
tity of open prairie interspersed by
beautiful groves of poplar and willow.
Water is in abundance, hay is plenti-
full and consequently fodder for ami
mails is right at hand. Those who
have taken advantage of farming in
these districts and watched the efforts
of those in the prairie proper feel
that they have the advantage of their
brother, who is not able to secure fuel
and the other conveniences of the
park district on his own farm.
The crop conditions throughout
Western Canada the past year have
been generally good, and some won
derful crop yields of wheat, oats and
barley are recorded. The Canadian
Government, under whose auspices
the exhibit spoken Of is being made,
is preparing reports on crops in the
different Western Canada districts,
and while these will not be ready for
distribution at the land show COM
mencing on the 18th Of November
and closing on Dec. 9Th, application
made to the Canadian Government
agent nearest you will bring them to
you as soon as they are published.

JUST MAKING OUT A CASE
Uncle Jeth Had Deep Reason for Oc-

Improbable.

John Collier, the secretary of New

me the composers of such plays are
animated by spirit of perversity.
They remind me of old Uncle Jethro

Uncle Jethro sat fishing on the
bank of a tiny rivulet when stran-

Plenty of litter is necessary for
poultry to scratch in, but where poul-
try house doors open on the inside
there is often difficulty in keeping the
litter cleared away from the door. A
splendid way to obviate this is to
make the door that swings in about
six or eight inches shorter than the
opening Then hang it at the top of
the opening and put board at the
bottom to fill in the space there. This
allows for six or eight inches of lit

The poultry house should face to the
south and there should be sufficient
glass on the south side to admit
plenty of sunlight For this reason
it is good to make the door of glass,
as shown in the illustration. It is al
ways wise when fowls are to be con-
fined in the house during the summer
to have a screen door on the house.
This should swing outward SO as not
to interfere with the glass door that
swings inward.

George D. Bartlett, secretary of the
Wisconsin Bankers association, said
that all Wisconsin state banks are per-
mitted to accept postal deposits. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Bartlett, however, it is
doubtful whether many directors will
put up government, state or municipal
bonds to enable their banks to get gov
eminent deposits. Mr.. Bartlett is Of
the opinion that bond houses will con-
tinue to offer the loan of bonds to
banks which desire government de-
posits, accepting surety bonds to pro-
tect themselves.

Flood Worse Than Realized.

Flood Worse Than Realized.
An appeal for funds has been
made in behalf Of Black River
Falls, the little city few weeks ago
SO seriously stricken by food The
committee portrays the damage as
even worse than the public had real
lied.
The report follows:
To the Public:
The undersigned, recently appoint

pathetic and charitably disposed peo-
pie for the relief of Black River Falls
sufferers from the devastating flood of
October 6, have, after a thorough in
vestigation of the conditions and care
full study Of the present and prospec-
tive effect upon the city and it's citi-
zens, arrived at the conclusion that

be fully comprehended and appreciated
by those who have not been afforded
full opportunity to make personal in
vestigation, and have hence deter
mined to summarize the damage and
portray the probable effect upon the
city, as briefly as may be, as means
of calling the attention of the public
to the needs of further funds to place
this former thriving city of 1000 in
habitants in position to measurably
retrieve its loss by the individual eff
forts of it's citizens, who are now
struggling bravely against adverse cir
cumstanceS.

about eighty per cent. of the business
portion of the city-totally destroyed
~ business buildings, including some
warehouses, and greatly injured sew
eral others, with the total and partial
loss of contents, averaging approx
mately 80 per cent, and including in
the destruction, in every instance, the
real estate on which the buildings
stood; literally engulfing and destroy

wards of SO per cent. of their con-
tents; totally destroying the furniture
