WATER II! BUTTER
$4,000, 900 Lost to Dairymen.
A. A. BORLAND,

| State Asri. College, Burlington, W.
Fourteen million dollars are annual
! = lost to dairy interests In the United
States through the low moisture con-
tent of butter The maximum legal
amount is Ii per cent: the average for
the United States is only Ills per cent.
An additional 35 per cent might be
added. making the water content ID
per cent, without exceeding the legal
limit and without deterioration in
quality of the product. Now, how can
the moisture content of butter be con-
trolled? There are many factors in
fuencing moisture content of butter.
but the two most important are the
churning temperature and the amount
Of working.
Churning temperature is of funda-
mental Importance. During fall and
winter. when moisture content Of but
ter is low, temperature OF churning
should be as high as is consistent with
securing product firm enough for han
ding. Experiments conducted under
direction of the writer showed an in
crease of per cent in water content
of butter churned at 10 degrees F. as
compared with 30 degrees F. That
churned at 90 degrees F. averaged 1873
per cent moisture; that at 60 degrees
F. averaged IA per cent; that at IS
degrees F. averaged 14.9 per cent; that
at 70 degrees F. averaged 15.7 per
cent Cummings We're done with
barrel churn. the kind found on any
farm Churning should stop when but
ter granules are the size of corn grains.
The temperature of wash water should
be near that of buttermilk, although
II high churning temperatures are en-
pIoyed wash water few degrees low
er tends to firm butter. Vice versa, in
springtime,. when per cent Of water
in butter exceeds the legal limit. cream
should be churned at as low tempera-
ture as possible without prolonging the
time of churning, thus causing butter
to be salvy.
Working the Butter.
The amount of working has consid-
cradle influence on per cent Of moisture
in the finished product. When butter
is worked in absence of water, mOis-
ture content decreases rapidly as
amount Of working increases. but If
butter is worked in presence of wa
ter moisture content increases with
amount of working. Consequently If
high percentage of water is desired
butter should receive minimum amount
Of working suficing to distribute salt
evenly when no water is present, but
maximum amount Of working if water
Is present Care should be exercised at
all times not to overwOrk butter.
Again. if natural moisture content Of
butter is high all water should be
drained away, butter partially work
ed, water drained off and the working
completed.

pie. Of course, the primary first cause
is behind it all and in it all. There is a
soul of the universe as we'll as soul of
man. We are told that the latter is an
image of the former. The iron horse
which crosses this continent in four or
five days could no more have been evolv-
ed without the aid of this fundamental
creative energy, that being whom we
call God and are able to comprehend so
little beside, than a planet could be
brought forth without this creative en-
ergy. The Jewish race gave US the
Theocratic form of government. Other
forms approach it to just that extent to
which they succeed in securing suitable
officials to administer their form of gov
eminent. Moses was the first great law
giver of the Jewish race and the first of
the world worth mentioning.
Abraham and Joseph were noteworthy
characters but the Jewish people had not
then become nation. In the wilderness
the people were sometimes hungry and
sometimes thirsty and at one time they
embodied their God in a golden calf.
They met and overcame all the obstacles
of life.
A whole generation was taught the
lesson of obedience there in the wilder
ness. 1t is said Moses was forbidden to
enter the promised land because of dis
obedience in shifting the rock for water
and also because of taking to himself the
glory of bringing water out of the earth.
former sins might have been forgiven
had he not arrived at that time of life
when man usually returns to earth
whence he came and the spirit to God
who gave it. We all shorten our lives
by disobeying natures laws. Digestion
is injured by eating too much or too fast
and life depends upon the ability of the
stomach to utilize food.
Sportmen destroy many life by too
strenuous effort. Those who have plenty
to live upon shorten life many years by
lack VI Heculul tAcIClSe.
These are the little every day problems
of life. Our lives depend upon solving
them correctly. Moses had these per-
sonal problems, beside national problems,
to solve. What can we learn from his
experience?
Everyone has or will be called to pass
through trying ordeals like Moses or like
Christ through the garden of Gethsem-
enc. Happy is he whose life is so firmly
rooted in the great ocean of truth that
none of these things move him. There
comes time in the life of man when all
material things melt and dissolve before
him. He starts anew with the life his
tory of the universe.
He sees material in gaseous state,
revolving in space, even as the astrono-
mer sees today universes in process of
creation. He sees planet after planet
thrown from its great center.
He watches the cooling process by
which glass becomes molten mass. He
watches continents being formedi by
the pouring out of the bowels Of the
earth by volcanic action. He can stand
upon the summit of our Hottest noun

esses going on before his mind. This

CAN MAKE HOME IN TROPICS
ohiciaI Of Department Of Agriculture
Thinks Dominant Races Have
Duty There.

Preparing the white man for his
coming occupation Of the tropics by
teaching him how to live there is the
substance of suggestion made to the
Pan-American Union by Prof Nathan
A. Cobb OF the department Of agri-
culture. The establishment on the
Panama canal zone of an international
bureau OF research is the recon-
mendation he makes. He would have
this bureau make a careful scientific
study Of how the white man will have
to adapt himself to conditions, food,
climate, etc, so that he may inhabit
the tropics, and work there without
Injury to his health.
The present sporadic and scattered
study being made along this line.
Professor Cobb does not consider Of
much value. 1t should be on a broad
scale, and comprehensive. he says.
taking up the whole field. Because
of the wonderful possibilities of pro-
duction in the tropics, Professor Cobb
says he has no doubt but that the
white man must go in and live there,
and make the yields greater than they
are at present. He holds that proper
study will give the information need
ed to make the tropics not only pos
sible for happy and healthful home
for the white man.

EVIL EFFECTS OF MOON RAYS
Scientists Admit as Fact What Has
Long Been Regarded as Mere
Superstition.

Moon rays are said to make men
go blind and mad, and to turn food
stun bad. There is even quoted by
the London Lancet a death the cause
Of which was officially stated to be
exposure to moonlight. Apparently
the food most seriously affected by
the moons radiations Is fish, and
seemingly trustworthy statements
have been made as to the i'll effects
produced in persons who had partak-
en- OF fish which had been freely ex-
posed to moonlight. E. G. Bryant,
writing from Port Elizabeth, South
Africa, suggests that a possible expla.
nation might lie in the weli-known
fact that the light of the moon. being
reflected light. is more or less polar
lied, and possibly polarized light may
exert q peculiar chemical action. Po-
larized light was obtained by him
from q powerful metallic flament
lamp, the light being polarized by
means OF a pile of sheets of plate
glass backed with silver and placed
at the correct angle. The experiments
showed certain marked results when
fish was submitted to this light When
two slices cut from the same fish were
hung, one in the direct light and the
other in the polarized beam of light.
the latter invariably began to de-
compose before the former, though
the temperature Of the polarized
beam was several degrees lower than
the direct light.

MAKES GEMS MORE BRILLIANT
five Carat Diamond In Vacuum Has
Been Shown to Give az Much
Light as a Candle.

The jewellers of ancient Egypt knew
more than modern craftsmen about
treating gems SO that they would
shine and sparkle, according to the
Independent. Such gems as the emer-
aid, garnet and jacinth were livelier
and more luminous in the days OF the
Ptolemies than they can be made to-
day. 1tsis known that the diamond.
ruby. emerald and kunzite become
phosphorescent or fiuorescent under
certain circumstances.
Gems exhibit the liveliest phospho-
rescence in vacuum tubes. Even in
rarefied air some diamonds give out a
blue light which IS not present in a
denser atmosphere. In a vacuum a
diamond of four or FIVE carats gives
as much light as a candle The color
of the light differs not only with the
origin of the diamond, but with the
facets OF the same diamond. Maske-
lyme made q collection of diamonds
which glowed in a vacuum with near.

Enamel chIps In sausaos,.

M. Martel. chief Of the veterinary

health, has just made a report on
sausage manufacturing which con.
tatns some interesting revelations.
He was specifically interested in as
certatning to what extent chips of
the enamel coating OF the meat grind
ers got into the finished sausages.
His microscope showed him in large
number Of sausages minute particles
Of enamel with sharp points, capable
OF producing erosions Of the intes-

Doctor Martel found few sausage
machines in perfect condition, and
learned that after very brief use the

ways chips OF. He has asked the
prefect of the Seine to forbid the use
OF enameled machines. Some manu-
facturers had discovered this defect
themselves and had already put in ma.
