The ultimate success of most of the
great manufacturing industries has de-
pended on saving of waste. The bust
ness experts today are developing
their time to stopping leaks. The time
is within the memory of living men
when bran was dumped into the Mis-
sissippi river. Do we throw it away
now? Products of iron smelling, odds
and ends from the packing house, and
a hundred other incidental products
are now being carefully turned to
profit. Even sawdust, which once was
burned, is distilled to charcoal, alco-
hol, creosote and ~turpentine.
Years ago the farmer burned over
his woodland every year as a matter OF
course, to make the grass grow bet
ter. But now he knows letter. 1t wac
too expensive.
Somewhere in every part of the
country, this harvest time, a strawpile
will be burned. If it had not been for
the extreme shortage of feed last
winter there would have been many a
windrow Of cornstalks burned, before
the spring blowing. And possibly-al-
though it takes a stretch Of the imagi-
nation-some farmer may haul out
some manure and dump It in the ra-
vine as they used to do.
These things are out of date. The
lime will come when all farmers shall
realize that their profits depend on
saving and getting benefit from these
materials which have been, for 50
ong, wasted.

there will be less weight of cream
than there should be for the test.
Furthermore, a good deal of the cream
may stick to the pipette, lowering the
test still more. If this method is
used at the creamery, the farmer IS
the loser, because the cream will ap-
pear to have less butter fat than it
really has.
The proper method is to weigh out,
on a small balance like the inexpen-
sive one shown in the illustration, IL

the cream is very rich), which is the
proper weight to give accurately the
per cent of fat. If nine grams is
taken, the result must be multiplied
by two to get the correct per cent,
This difference will materially affect
the income from cream selling.
