scribed In This Article.

In making curtains for the bedroom
windows you can economic in ma
terial by selecting swiss or scrim the
width of the window. Now measure
on the length you desire the curtains
and cut the material from corner to
corner on the bias. In other words,
cut from the lower left-hand corner to
the upper righ-,hand corner.
To this bias edge apply a rufle
either of the material or of coarse
lace.
Finish the joining seam neatly by
stitching strip of featherstitched
braid or narrow bias fold over the
ruffie and seam edge.
Now finish the broad straight edge
at the top with hem and narrow
casing, through which is run a tape
the length of the width of the window.
The curtains are then shirred over
the tape or small brass rods and at
tached to the windows
Drape them to each side OF the win
dow with ribbons or cotton cords.
and you will have pair of very good.

perienced feeders that silage saves
grain and hay.
1t is true that corn fodder contains
under chemical tests more protein,
carbohydrates and fattening material
than silage. but the fact remains that
steers do not get all of the benefit
from corn fodder while about every
thing that is valuable as feed is con-
sumed in the silage
Then, silage being quite bulky, 1t is
an excellent feed given in connection
with ground grains and heavy meals
as it aids greatly in their digestion.
Another thing: steers like silage. II
tastes good to them and they eat It
with avidity.
A steer prefers silage to dry corn
fodder just as boy prefers pie to
dry corn bread, but in the case of the
steer the silage is better food for him
than the pie is for the boy.
Place silage and dry corn fodder be-
hhe bunch of steers and they will
not touch the latter until they have
entirely disposed of the first. This is
an important factor in feeding, be
cause palatability adds to digestive
qualities Of feed, and the more a steer
digests the more fat he will put on.

The following process for the detec-
tion of added water or of SKINNED
milk in ordinary milk is more accu-
rate than the simple use of the lac
todensimeter without the creamome-
ter check The whole test can be
made in five minutes. The result
does not show whether the adultera-
tion consisted in the addition of wa
ter or In the subtraction of cream, but
as rule this matters little to the con-
sumer. What he wants to know is
whether or not he had what he paid
for.
The suspected milk is stirred with a
spoon, In order to disseminate into
the whole liquid the cream which may
have come to the surface. Then one
volume of milk is poured into fifty
volumes of water. Zone fluid ounce
to two and half pints) candle
Is lighted in a dark room. The expe-
rimenter takes an ordinary drinking
glass with tolerably fat and even
bottom, and holds it right above the
candle, at a distance of about one
foot from 1t, so as to be able to see
the flame of the candle through the
bottom Of the glass. He then pours
slowly and carefully the diluted milk
into the glass.
The flame becomes less and less
bright as the level of the liquid rises
into the glass, The flame is soon re-
duced to a dull white spot A little
more liquid, slowly added SO as to
avoid pouring an excess, and the
lame becomes absolutely invisible.
All that remains to be done is to
measure the height of the liquid in the
glass, this being most conveniently
aseertained by dipping into it a strip
OF pasteboard and then measuring the
wet part
A mixture of one volume of milk
and half volume OF water should
show a depth of L " inches. A depth
OF inches indicates either partially
skinned milk or a mixture of one
volume OF good milk with one Of wa
ter, and SO on.
The reader has already understood
that the process is based upon the
close relation between the capacity of
milk and the number Of fatty cor
puscles contained In It, Both skim
ming and the adding of water work
In the same direction, namely, to de-
crease the opacity of milk. The same
cannot be said of the density. Skim
ming increases It, adding water de-
creases 1t; and the common test,
which consists in the mere introduc-
tion OF the lactodensimeter In milk.
Is worthless. as SKINNED milk may
have a normal density IL care has
been taken to pour into 1t a certain
amount of water. Density should be
taken before and after skimming, and
the percentage of crea,l should be
determined with the creamometer.
Thus applied thes-density test re-
quires lactodensimeter, thermome-
ter. and creamometer, and the test
requires twenty-four nours. while the

SILO CONTAINS

Those farmers who have rever
