13.-Local fans are blaming
the umpires of Pater Kava-

the listlessness and apathy which
have been exhibited by both the
home and visiting clubs upon many
occasions at Andrews field

piquancy and snap of the contests
The laxness Of the umpires in slim

~ the speed of the games has been
far more exasperating to local pa
irons.
During the last series with the
Pelicans this Iaxness was extreme
ly apparent, and both teams loafed

manner which gave the trays the

the stands do not think that the
players are mortal enemies. but the
sight Of them mingling on the field
OF battle and laughing and joking
during the progress of the fravs

The Rebin Found

Jack and Evelyn had wished daddy to tell them why the trees lost their

Once upon a time, as the little birds were making their long journey to
the pleasant warm countries where birds spend the winter. a little robin was
left behind He had a lame wing, and lame winged birds never can hy far.
Little robin looked about In the strange woods where, tired out, he had To-
stop He crept up to a gnared old oak tree whose branches scared d hundred
feet into the air.
Please let me stay with you all winter the little bird pleaded. your
leaves will shelter me from the winter Winds I

A tired and sorowfuI the little bird started away on his lame wing a
dark. shaggy tree standing on the hlusOpe called to him. Here you arr wei

And so the little bird stayed with these kind ones, and every morning
and every evening he sang them a little song OF gratitude.
"ld King Winter heard 1t one day and learned the birds story. He said
to one OF his widest winds:

which they re so proud, but the trees that have been kind and willing to

FIRE WASTE.

The problem Of FIRE waste is becom-
ing a serious proposition IN this
try. North Dakota has contributed it's
share to the heavy losses Of the insur-
ance companies. Fargo has been a
heavy offender. 1t was asserted that
the insurance losses in this city in 1911
exceeded the premiums collected by the
insurance agents in Fargo.
There is a personal factor in this
FIRE waste that is sometimes overlook
ed. 1t is the insured who ultimately
pays thu loss. The rates are neces-
sarily raised to a point where the
companies al carry the losses. The
individual is made to foot the bills for
losses which, in many cases, could be
prevented.
The conditions are such that every
man with insurable property should be
interested in fire prevention methods.
Proper protection will reduce the loss
es-and this win result in lower in
surance premiums.
Mere selfish interest should encour-
age the national movement to prevent
IRE waste. The people Of Fargo should
join in this, as well as other efforts to
which they devote much of their ener-
gies.

A NEW METHOD FOR
DETERMINING FAT
AND SALT IN BUTTER.

Secretary Wilson OF the department
of agriculture calls attention to a new
test for fat and salt in butter which
is described in circular No. 202, bureau
of animal industry, just issued by the
department.
This test was invented by Roscoe III.
Shaw, chemist in the dairy division,
and is especially designed for use IN
creameries. The circular explains the
apparatus in detail and gives complete
instructions for operating the test,
placing in the hands of practical
creameryrnen q simple, rapid, and ac-
curate method by which can be deter
mined the percentage of fat and salt
in butter. and which in connection
with n of the reliable moisture
tests already in use, makes possible
the complete analysis of butter right
before the churn.
The new test for fat will probably
not require more than SIS worth of app
paratus beside that already on hand
in most creameries. The same CEN
trifuge is used as in the Babcock test
and the same acid.
The special apparatus consists of a
~separatory funnel of glass with a cap
Hilary stem. The separatory funnel is
essentially a cylinder holding about
two and a half ounces constructed
with a glass stopper at the top and a
stop-cock in a capillary lube at the
bottom. A special socket is necessary
to hold the funnel while in the CEN
trifuge.
The principal steps involved in the
test are: The washing out of the
salt from a weighed charge OF the
butter with hot water, the ~dissolving
out of the curd with hot dilute sui
phuric acid, the separation Of the acid
solution from the fat and the weighing
Of the fat. When the salt test is to
be made the wash water is collected
and the salt in it is determined by
the usual chemical reaction.
The time consumed in making the
fat test is not much if any more thar
is required to make a careful test fol
fat in cream by the Babcock method
A little more time is required If thS
percentage of salt is wanted.
The new test has been thoroughly
tried out in comparison with the Of
fetal laboratory methods and is quite
in accord with them in results.
