DETERMINE FAT
AND SALT BUTTER
Circular of Department. of A1ra.
culture Which Explains an
Apparatus Invented by
Prof. Shaw.

Secretary Wilson of the Department
test for fat and salt in butter which is
described in circular No. 2O2, Bureau
of Animal Industry, just issued by the
department
This test was invented by Roscoe H.
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
creamerymen simple, rapid and ac-
curate method by which can be de-
termined the percentage of fat and
salt in butter, and which in connsc-
tion with one 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 five dollars
worth of apparatus beside that already
on hand in most creameries. The
same centrifuge is used as in the
Babcock test and the same acid.
The special apparatus consists Of
separatory funnel of glass with a
capillary stem. The separatory funnel
is essentially cylinder holding about
two and half tounces constructed
with glass stopper at the top and a
stop-cock in a capillary tube at the
bottom. A special socket is necessary
to hold the funnel while in the centri-
fuge.
The principal steps involved in the
test are: The washing out of the salt
from a weighted charge of the butter
with hot water, the dissolving out of
the curd with hot dilute sulphuric
acid, the separation of the acid solu-
tion 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 than

fat in cream by the Babcock method.

vines to prevent roofing, except under
unusual circumstances
Northern experiments show that
there is not SO much difference be-
tween rows where the vines were un-
disturbed and those in which the
vines were moved twice.
Potash is one of the most impor-
tant fertilizers for sweet potatoes, al
though in New Jersey horse manure
at the rate of 10 to 20 tons per acre
is used. 1t should be well rotted.
Attention to the vines, says Mr..
Wells, does not stop with the end OF
cultivation.
They should be lifted occasionally to
prevent their taking root, and this
work can be quickly done by the use
Of ptchfork. Once a week is often

In the north the black-rot affects
sweet potatoes, and this is soon seen
on the sprouts. Whenever a plant
shows a leaf that is partly black, 1t
should be dug up and destroyed
Potatoes from affected plants will
rot quickly after being dug. AS the
germs of this disease remain in the
soil over winter, the ground should
not be used again for this crop.
In the north the most popular varie-
ties grown are the Benson, a large
white yam type, very smooth, with
brown, yellowish skin; the Red Jer-
sey, smooth, pinkish red. short and
plump, fresh greenish-y elbow, sweet,

In Miss Coburn's investigation the
soil on which the crop was grown was
not rich, having previously grown
nursery-stock. 1t was not manured
but thoroughly prepared.
Mr.. Wells says that the soil best
suited to sweet potatoes is warm
moderately rich sand. II it is too rich
there will be excessive growth of tor
at the expense of root.
Before planting, the surface of the
ground should be ridged, and the
plants set in the usual way about the
first week in June.

HOW TO GET THE FARMERS
TRADE.

How to- get the farmers trade 10 a
problem that has for years puzzled the
country merchant There is only one
way to get and hold it, and that il
by selling him the best goods at the
least possible prices.
The modern farmer is just as much
OF a business man a. the country
merchant is, and he is going to buy
where he can do so to the best advant-
age. If he finds he can do better by
driving a few miles farther to another
town, that is what he will do.
The principal reason why the coun-
try merchants trade does not increase
from year to year is because he has
not yet come to recognize the farmer
as business man on a par with him
self.
The country merchant who would
succeed must apply the same progress
sive business methods that are used
by successful city merchants, which is
advertising and plenty of it.
But if you want to hold the farmers
support you must sell him correct, up
to date goods, and at the right price.
That will hold him longer than any
thing else.
He won't mind few miles farther
travel to get what he wants. and he
knows just exactly what he is after,
He's going to the town where his
money will do him the most good
where the merchants handle modern
styles and keep plenty to select from.
When he gets ready TO buy, that's go
ing to be the controlling question
with him-not where he can see the
most fun.
It's advertising that will bring him
to you in the first place and your
treatment that will hold his trade

ed on a farm, and had but small adj
vantages of the schools Of that day.
But H. was ambitious, industrious
and persevering; had these three
great qualities, and in the exercise of
them, h. went from one success to
another. School advantages in his
locality, at that day, were exceedingly
small. But he made use of all within
his reach, and did much o. hi own
account, to improve his mind. He
was economical and saved his own
small earnings, and finally secured
for himself period of schooling in
the West Nottingham Academy. Aft
en- leaving the Academy he continued
hi studies and qualified himself for
teaching school, in which work he
was engaged for short time. In
connection with this he read law,
and subsequently entered the law de-
partment Of the University Of Mary
land, and he graduated there, and
then opened law office in Elkton.
He soon succeeded to good prac-
tice, and from that time his successes
went by leaps and bounds. Tie be-
came States Attorney, then Senator,
then Judge Of the Court, and then he
mounted to the highest place in the
gift of the people Of the state, the
Governorship. From poor, obscure,
barefoot boy, to be Governor )of the
commonwealth of Maryland. What
an immense stride
He succeeded because he had high
ideals before him, and worked toward
them, and kept On working; was will
ing to make sacrifices. Tn other
words he succeeded because he de-
served success.
Now we imagine there are today.
hundreds Of boys in Carroll county,
who have infinitely better advantages
than Austin IT, Crothers had in his
boyhood. How do the boys propose
to use these advantages? Boys have
you any high or serious ideals before
you? Are you willing to sacrifice tn
order to make a mark for yourself, or
are you playing with life, simply hav-
Ing good time? The path OF honor,
the path OF success is open before
you in this free country Of ours. Will
you enter it? Or lacking true sense
OF yourself and OF your surroundings
will you just let yourself drift along,
and accomplish nothing In the end?
The question f. for you to answer,
and 1t must be answered soon, or the

SCARCITY OF COOKS.

Why is it that girls prefer hard work
and poor pay in factories, Or most any
place, rather than accept the easier
places and better pay awaiting them
in domestic service?
This il a question which has been
very much discussed in newspapers
and magazines, from the platform and
everywhere Of late years.
Recently Commissioner Herman
Robinson of New York, reported that
there are 100000 vacant places fol-
doing homework in that city, and the
places cannot be filed One business
man told of girl who preferred to
work in his factory for So a week
without board, rather than do much
easier work in his home for Sc week
with board. The girl frankly said
that she lost caste" by doing house
work. This is but type Of thousands
of cases.
There cannot BE- any good reason
why honest, useful and necessary work
should be in any way towering. Or
CARNATIONS have been formed with 9
view to correct the evil. Tt il pro
posed to conine the housework tc
regular business hours, treat domestic
employees in all respects like nslsi-
ness employees. and let them 20 tc
their own homes after work. These
changes, it is thought, would remove
most of the objection to this most nat
ural, useful and healthful employment
At any rate this is one of the ques-
tons to which it j. very important tc
find proper solution.

THE CAREER OF THE LATE GOV
ERNOR CROTHERS, AIN EX-
AMPLE TO Young MEN,

The life story of Ex-Governor
Crothers, who died at the home Of
his nephew at Elkton on the morn
ing Of the Goth, ultimo, and whose
funeral took place at West Noting
ham church on the 28th ultimo, shows
what is possible to an American boy,
who has the grit, and who also has
the determination to make q man of
himself. Such a career as that of
Gov. Crothers, and many others who
might be cited, who have risen to emil
nence, could not come to the boy,
however, ambitious, of any other
country. America stands alone among
the nations, in affording to young
men in the humber walks of life,
the opportunity to rise to distinction
and to fill places of honorable emil
nence in the State and National gov
ernments.
Garfield went from the toepath of
the canal to the Presidency and ADra-
ham Lincoln went from the humble
home of a back-woodsman, and with
no early advantages, to be one of the
greatest of all the CHEF Magistrates
of the country.
And Austin Lane Crothers, whose
death our state now mourns, went
from a respectable, but very humble
home in Cecil county to the Guber-
Material Office of the state and il
reckoned today, as standing at the
head of the line of distinguished
Maryland Governors.
His early advantages were Of the
most meagre kind. AS boy he work.
