a society would be compelled to sepa-

u its own career independently. The
opposition of the leaders was increas-
ing, and it was becoming clear that no
support of any kind could be expected
from them. Jesus also saw that his So

Agricultural Topics
TEST TELLS HOW MUCH ACID
is PRESENT IN YOUR CREAM
Gives Dairymen Way to Grade Product
So That Higher Price May Be OBJ
tsinsd-simpIe and Easily Made

Certain substances when placed in
an alkaline solution have one color.
but when put in an acid change their
color or lose ii entirely. That In the
basis of an important discovery made
recently by ID. S. Burch. Kansas dairy
commissioner, whereby cream may be
tested for its qualities to make good
butter. This test gives creamerymen
a way to grade cream so that a higher
price may be paid for the better grade.
Heretofore cream was not tested Tor
quality. only for the quantity OF but
ter fat 1t contained. which was de-
termined by the Babcock test, says the
Kansas Industrialist
1t has been found that cream which
contains too much acid-more than five
per cent-will not make good
butter. All that was needed. then.
was a test that would prove that bad
cream contained too much acid. This
Mr.. Burch's test will show.
An alkaline solution made red with
the Indicator mentioned and two little
clippers about the size of a thimble.
placed on the end Of a steel wire. are
all the instruments need. These dip
pers are made so that n holds a
prop~ortionate amount Of cream to the
amount OF red alkaline mixture held
by the other. A dipper of cream and
a dlpper Of the solution are poured
together. If this mixture turns white
the cream Is OF inferior quality IL
the pink mixture retains its color less
than 5 per cent of acid Is present, and
the cream Is first grade.
Creameries where the test Is used
are paying a difference OF 2 cents a
pound on first and second grade cream,
which means that the test will be an
incentive to farmers to use the most
sanitary methods with their cream so
that It will bring the highest market
price:
The quality test. first put into use in
January, now Is used successfully in
sixteen stations In Kansas. II IA be
