Babcock Test Value Steadily Increases.
"The Fat Testing of Butter by the
Babcock Method" is the last subject
treated in the biennial report of the
state dairy and food commissioner, j.
Q. Emery, for 1909-1O, Just issued The
Fischer, for a goodly number Of years
state chemist and now professor Of
chemistry in the University of Wis
consin.
"The establishment of legal mini
mum standards of milk fat in butter"
he says, "has called special attention
to the desirability Of having simple,
rapid and yet sufficiently accurate
method Of making determinations Of
the fat content Of this important dairy
product. The chemical method
of other extraction Of the dried butter,
while accurate, cannot be carried out
without special equipment, and then
only by trained manipulation. OF the
four main constituents of butter, viz,
salt, curd, water and fat, the latter is
by far the most valuable and it would
seem that the establishment of a
standard for this constituent would be
much more desirable than standards
for any Of the other ingredients, pro-
vided a simple, rapid method could be
found which would give sufficiently ac-
curate results in the hands Of butter
makers using reasonable care"

Mr. PEEVED PROTESTS

And Mr.. Peeved leaned back in the
morris chair and roared.
And you, and you, petty, want him
to cavort like an angel. Thank Des-
tiny that the management of this
world isn't entirely in the hands of
women! Cupid, BAH Why, petty.

get it, anyway?
And he went off into another Mt OF
uncomfortable laughter. r..
i He made it himself" said Mrs.
Peeyed. He
Better and Better
Made it himself, Well, what do you
know about that. Any boy that de-
signed costume like that is more than
comedian. He's a master. by Jove.
Made it himself! Made it-jiminy, that
was funny
Yes" continued Mrs Peeved, he
did every stitch of IT. The whole thing
was made out of that gray suit of yours
that's been hanging up in the wardrobe
and"
What shouted Mr.. Peeved. DO
you mean to tell me that scoundrel
destroyed the gray suit I've only worn
four times to make a monkey OF
himself? He-I-where Is he? III show
him whether he can make fool of him
self at the expense of my best clothes.
And Mr.. Peeved waved aside his
wife's objections and rushed from the
room in search of Jackie.

began the evolutions incident to remoV-
ing her hat. ARE you glad you went?

tertainment so much In my life
Petty" replied Mr.. Peeved enthusias-
tically, II believe that boy OF ours was
cut out for an actor. They knew what
thew we're about when they gave him
the leading part. all right. l declare L
never saw anything funnier in my hte
than when he came out in that side
splitting tramp costume and sang ana
danced.
Doesn't Like Tramps
"I thought he was the hit Of the
evening, too" said his wife, but
don't know that 1 liked that tramp act
so much, It was-sort of low, thoughr.
I had an idea that he'd appear TO
much better advantage il they'd let him
do the Cupid dance, and given the
tramp part to that ridiculousiy .lnn
child that played Cupid"
"Tommyrotw retorted Mr.. Peeved.
THAT boys a comic genius; SO, OF
course, it's just like a woman to want
TO deck him out in a pair of wings and
have him strike soulful poses.
NO petty, Jackies part couldn
have been improved upon. That cos
tune was what tickled me. If real
tramp wore clothes like that the cops
would laugh so hard they'd never be
a BILE to arrest him. The rags and the
tatters! George, that was funny!
