Kansas dairymen and creamerymen
suffer financial loss of at least $1,000
each summer from the foaming OF
cream. From our present knowledge
q foamy cream is caused by the ac-
ton of a yeast on the milk sugar
which results In the formation Of alco-
hol, and carbon dioxide gas. Both Of
these products are driven on by pas
teurization.
During the summer Of 1911, So sam
pies Of yeasty cream were examined
and tested at Kansas cream stations.
The average acidity was 81 per cent
OF all the samples Of the yeasty cream
IS per cent were found to be hrst
grade (.5 per cent acid or less), and
Of the remaining S. per cent Of sec
ond grade cream, only few samples
showed bitter or rancid havora. Thus
while foamy cream, judged By its APP
pearance. Is apparently objectionable.
It's actual quality d better than aver
age second grade cream. The losses
from foaming are chiefly mechanical;
IN fact buttermakers are agreeably
surprised In the quality Of butter made
from yeasty cream properly handled.
Tests Of over 500 samples Of 81

poultry and young hogs were very
efficient measures for checking the
ravages of grasshoppers.
Where poultry and young hogs can
be let run on an infested area they
furnish the surest means Of destroy
ing the grasshoppers. While the In
sects are yet small, focks Of turkeys
and chickens will eat great numbers
of them, and check what would other
wise be O. very serious outbreak.
They can be driven about from one
infested field to another and will soon
become accustomed to 1t 80 a child
can handle them. Hogs can be run on
alfalfa. weed patches, and pasture
lands where the insects are numer-
GUS. A few sows with young pigs
running on an alfalfa field will pre-
vent grasshopper damage to surpris-
ing extent, and where alfalfa Is left
standing for seed, the damage by
grasshoppers which they prevent will
be a great deal larger than their d.
rect injury to the crop Of seed. A
drove of young shoates will protect

mended for poultry. The use Of poul-

fields the bait should be applied, after
q crop has been removed and before
the new growth has started, to get the
best results. 1t requires fresh APP

kinds of cream show that foaming will
not occur II the temperature is kept
below 20 degrees. Foamy cream
should be handled as follows:
While the cream is In the station

tanning yeasty cream are more than
two-thirds full. Add from three to
FIVE pounds Of pure ice directly to

CLAIMS THREsH|NG RECORDS
Farmer Near velva Was Operating
Machine Christmas Day-stanley
Also Sees S,lch Activities

acnln christmas Day-Stanley
Also Sees Such Activities.
Threshing records for North Dakota
are claimed by James Eastlund, a
farmer residing fourteen miles west Of
Eelva, who operated a threshing ma
chine all Christmas day on his farm,
rounding out about 900 bushels of lax.
Eastland has operated his machine
almost constantly this fall and winter.
and says he will continue to thresh
throughout the whole winter period Il
present conditions continue.
From Stanley. n. D.. also comes the
report of late threshing operations,
and during the forepart Of this week
several machines were in operation
within a ten-mile radius Of that place.
Farmers Of North Dakota have been
unusually fortunate this year Ia the
matter Of late threshing. During the
early part Of the fall their operations
were delayed by rain. Then came a
heavy 10Y which covered the ground
in q 1fty.mile wide district in the cen
ter Of the state. and 1t was two weeks
before operations could be resumed.
In the eastern part Of the state all
tbs threshing Is done, but through the
west section Of the state. there is much
grain that is still in bundles. Most
Of this grain is stacked. the farmers
digging 1t on from under the snow
and adopting the stacking plan to pre-
vent further trouble. With the stacks
up the farmers were able to resume
work. and they have been able to
thresh even till this date unhammered
by the additional snow that has fallen
from time to time.
