They Eat the Most Meat,

Washington, D. c., Feb. 19.-Aus-
tralians and New Zealanders are the
greatest meat eaters in the world.
Statistics announced by the United
States Department of Agriculture
show that Australians eat 262.6
pounds of meat year each, and New
Zealanders 212.5 pounds, while the
British eat only los pounds and
Americans consume 1858 pounds of
dressed meat. Consumption of Eek
ira edible parts" brings the American
total to zoos.
The per capita consumption of meat
by other countries is: Argentina, 40
pounds; Austria Hungary. 81; Bel

milk The effect of temperature botf
on the loss of fat in the skim mill
and on the per cent of fat in the
cream. varies with the construction
of the machine. Within the limits Of
70 to 80 degrees. the variation in the
loss of fat in the skim milk is not
very marked, but the loss is greater
at the lower temperature. An in
crease in the per cent of fat in the
cream brought about by lower tenn
perature Of the milk separated, is
caused by the higher velocity of the
cold cream reducing the capacity Of
the cream outlet.
The per cent Of fat in the cream
varies in direct proportion to the per
cent Of fat in the milk. The ratio of
cream to skim milk Is not changed
by variation in the richness of the
milk separated. The rate of inflow,
and the loss of fat in the skim milk
is not affected appreciably by the per
cent of fat in the milk.
The rate of inflow changes the ra-
ito of cream to skim milk to some
extent, but the whole difference is not
en- the cream outflow. A reduction in

Mill Agents Are Silent.

| Lawrence, Mass, Feb. l8.-No
communications from the mill agents
in reply to the demands framed by
committees of striking textile opera.
ti>es were received today and as re.
suit, an important meeting of the
Central Labor Union executive com.
mittee, which was to have been held,
was postponed until tomorrow. BY
that time, it is expected, the attitude
of the mill officials toward the de.
mands will be made known.
The Central Labor Union has an
nounced that if replies are not receiv-
ed within reasonable time" steps
will be taken to obtain sanction for a
strike under the auspices of the
American Federation of Labor, which
will thus become officially party to
the strike now being conducted by
the opposing organization, the Indus
trial Workers of the World.
Some of the mill officials look for
noticeable gains in the number of EN-.
plOyeeS returning to work tomorrow.

inflow reduces both the cream and
the skim milk but the former some
what mare in proportion than the
latter A smaller inflow therefore in
creases the per cent Of fat in the
cream more or less.
by Professor c. II. Eckles. assisted by
Fl. s.. Wayman. Professor Eckles has
the following to say regarding cream
testing:
while the farmer selling cream
must expect reasonable variations in
the per cent of fat in the cream sold
he is also entitled to have his cream
tested accurately and carefully by
man who thoroughly understands how
it should be done, and who has the
appliances at hand. The cream buyer
to comply with the laws of the state
must weigh out the sample taken for
testing. Any farmer selling cream is
entitled to demand that this be done
and to object to selling cream on
tests made by measuring with a
pipette. There is no reason why the
farmer should not satisfy himself re-
garding the test 1t is an easy mat
ter for any farmer to test cream ap-
proximately correctly, while it would
not be easy for him to make a test
sufficiently accurate to serve as
basis for buying or selling without
purchasing small cream scale. This
might be greater expense than he
would care to invest. The farmer, by
use of an ordinary Babcock testing
machine and by measuring the cream
with the same pipette which is used
for measuring milk, can make a test
of his cream that will satisfy him as
to the correctness Of the test he re-
ceives from the cream buyer"
