BUILT THE FIRST PAVEMENT
Cordova, in Spain, Was First City to
Improve Its Roads-Streets of Lon
don Not Paved in nth Century.

The oldest pavement of which
there is any record in modern cities
Is that of Cordova, Spain, which was
paved with stones by the Moors in the
middle of the ninth century. The
Moors caused water to be conveyed
to the city in lead pipes
Paris was the next city to pave its
streets; but this civic betterment did
not take pace until the year 1884, on
which occasion, says Rigard, the his
torian of Philip H., 'the name of the
city was changed from Lutetia which
it had been previously called on &C.
count of it's filthiness." Those old
streets must have been very bad in.

the citizens to keep swine, which
roamed at large and wallowed In the
mire of the public way.
The streets of London were unpaved
in the eleventh century; and it is un-
certain just when the work did be-
gin Holland was not paved until
1417, though it was frequently impas'

During the reign OF Henry VIII. many
of the streets were very foul and full
of pits and sloughs very perilous and
noxious, as we'll for all the kings sub

out pavement until 1914.
The now beautiful Berlin allowed
it's streets to go without even a clear

the seventeenth century; and until
1851 1t was popular practice to place
pig pens Immediately beneath the
front windows of the houses. Every

streets of Warsaw up to the com

AS TO RESERVATIONS

zen. u. McC. Reeve, who for
twenty years has worn epau-
let's and paraded proudly at the
head of the First Regiment, M.
n. g., has decided to quit. He
has had enough and isn't afraid
to say so. In addition to being
head man of the First, General
Reeve marched bravely to the
front with the Thirteenth Min
nesota and exposed himself as a
target to the bullets of the willy
Aguinaldo and his brown fol-
lowers. After all this strenuous
life, General Reeve wants to set
tie down, get acquainted with
his family and live the few re-
naming years of his earthly pill
grimage in peace and quietude.
When asked why he intended re-
signing, General Reeve, in a
burst Of confidence, replied:
I want to leave the regiment
when the men want me to stay,
and when the regiment is at its
highest state of efficiency. I be-
lieve that time IS now
General Reeve seems to wear
a level head on his shoulders and
to cherish the right idea
of the resignation industry.
He feels that it is better to quit
with the boys falling on his
shoulders and shedding scalding
tears over his impending depar-
ture than to hang on to his Office
until a whole lot of them feel like
kicking him out. General Reeve
isn't the only fellow who has re-
signed a good job. There are
others. And some of them have
made a mess of it. 1t don't take
very much to make some re-
signers withdraw their resigna-
tions. Let the faintest sign OF
remonstranee appear, and in the
twinkling of an eye, the resigner
reconsiders and says he never
meant it. And then he sticks
to the old job like a wood tick to
a summer boarder until the ma.
chine goes to pieces and he has
only a few friends left.
No, it's a great sight better to
do as Generel Reeve has done:
It's much more comforting to
get out and stay out when
everybody wants you to remain.
than it is to wear out your vel
come and stay until everybody
feels like shying a bootjack at
you. We doff our hat to Gener.
al Reeve as a soldier with re.
markedly long head on him.

WHY THE CREAM TEST VARIES
Numerous Reasons for Difference in
Returns to the Producer From
Day to Day.

There are eight reasons why the
farmer or dairyman does not always
get the same test from day to day, and
still may get all there is in the cream
from his hand separator.
E;rst-Often a change in operators
VII cause variation in the richness
of the cream. One may not turn as
last as another; and, the faster a sep
arator is turned, the higher will be the
cream test. 1t will be higher, but
there will be smaller quantity of
cream; and nothing is gained by turn
ing the machine faster than is re-
CURED for clean SHINING. All manu-
facturers of cream separators furnish
a book of rules and instructions for
operating their nGchineS, which
should be followed quite closely.
Second-The temnereture of the
,y:,'1 has much to dc with the thick
ness of the cream. Cold milk has a
tendency to give a / 5h test.
Third-If the faucet on the supply
can is partly shut Off, or becomes
somewhat chogged, as with small
stick, some hair, or dirt, it shuts off
q part of the feed; and the test is
higher, because the milk does not go
through as fast as usual and is sub
iected to centrifugal force in the
machine for longer time.
Fourth-If the test of the herd va
ries, some COWS testing high and
others low, and milk is saved out from
the high-testfng cows for the house
and not separated, and the next time
the low-testing whole milk is saved,
there will be change in the test
That is, change in the richness of
the milk separated will change the
test.
Fifth-The use of too much warm
water or skim milk in flushing the
bowl will lower the cream test.
Sixth-EN cream separators have a
mechanical device for changing the
thickness Of the cream, knvOn as the
cream-screw. This is usually located
in the upper part of the bowl. Turn
ing the cream screw toward the center
of the bowl, or in, gives thick
cream; and TURNING it out thin
cream. If small particle of dirt be-
comes lodged in the cream-screw it
will change the test, usually produc-
ing a thicker cream
Seventh--When the separating has
been done, the cream should be set at
once in very cold water to cool it
down. This of course furnishes ex-
cellent cream, not only for butter
making purposes, but for house use as
well; and often the housewife, little
thinking of the effect it viii have on
the cream test, goes out in the morn
ing and dips Off couple of cupsful
from the previous nights skimming.
The thickest cream rises to the top,
and two cupsful taken from the top,
after standing, will materially lower
the test much more than one would
at first imagine.
Eighth-In testing cream it should
be remembered that the common milk
pipette should not be used to measure
out a sample. 1t does not hold
enough cream to give correct reading.
In accordance with our state law, the
cream must be weighed out, and Is
grams, or half this amount, used for
a sample.-George P. Grout, Mime
sofa University Farm.
