THE PLAIN TRUTH.

Chinese made knitted garments
manufactured in Hong Kong from
American cotton yarn are now being
exported to the United States. So far
the exports are intended solely for the
use of Chinese residents here. but the
trade is booming and it will be only a
matter of time when the Chinese
goods will seek a larger outlet than
this affords. Consul General George
G.. Anderson, of Hong Kong, reports
the growth of the industry there as
beiag O. decided significance IN the
clohing and cotton trade of this part
of the world The knitting establish
ments are quite modern for Chinese
concerns in their buildings and other
arrangements, and they show constant
Improvement plant and in the quail
ity of output One factory 10 which
the Consul General refers is export
ing almost half of it's output to the
United States. This was being done
under the former tariff and should
be of interest to the working MIN in
connection with the present tariff
changes. Should all tariff oroteC uon
be removed it will then be ~ase OF
living against American wages and
American standard of living. It is
easy to see which will win out, when
10 cents day is regarded by the Chi
nese laborer as good pay.-J.es S

A Washington. dispatch says an
amusing problem has arisen in con-
nection with measure introduced by
two members of Congress, The two
representatives have introduced iden-

QUESTION as to which is going to re-

too lively better give the credit to
Newlands. He would accept it, no
doubt.

The Senator is coming by the south

"SoLlDIFiED ALCOHOL

An inquiry has been received al
the department regarding the nature
and composition Of "solidified alec
hol." Since this Is a rather new
manufactured product which may be
come quite important in the future
1t will be well for us to understand
what 1t is.
"Solidified alcohol" or "Solid spir-
it," as the product is called, is fuel
manufactured to take the place of
charcoal and wood alcohol ETC., for
heating purposes. II is made by com
bining cellulose, such as cotton, with
acetic acid-the acid found in vine
gar-then dissolving it in very strong
(glaciaD acetic acid, and finally pour
ing this solution in alcohol.
The white solid thus formed does
not melt, 1t burns at high tempera-
ture, at the same time 1t leaves no
ash. These qualities make it much
more pleasant to handle than certain
fuels that it will replace, and conse-
quently 1t will tend to become more
popular.

VARIATIONS IN CREAM FAT
TESTS

Why does the percentage of fat In
your cream vary, Mr.. Farmer? II
seriously affects your cream check
when the test drops or per cent
rhe reasons of these variations, you
snail know and control of them be-
jome part of your business. The
most important causes for variations
GLOW, with suggestions for their con
| roll
l. If you use the gravity system,
is impossible to skim the cream,
Or to draw off the skimmilk at the
bottom OF the can in exactly the
same manner each day, and so the
est will vary.
2. With the separator, your fat
percentage will vary because
(a) The percentage of fat in the
milk varies with the seasons, change
Of mixer or time of milking, with
excitement of the cows.
(b) The temperature of the milk
varies. The warmer the milk the
more fluid 1t becomes and hence the
)asier to seperate the fat globules
from the serum. Have your milk at
80 degrees to SO degrees II. which Is
the temperature Of the milk fresh
from the COW.
(c) The separator is not balanced.
Level the bowl exactly. If the bowl
does not run smoothly, 1t will hinder
the skimmilk and cream from finding
their respective outlets, some of the
skimmilk will mix with the cream
and the result will be uncertain.
(d) The speed of your separator
Is not right or constant. Time the
crank with a watch and turn 1t the
number of times called for In the d.
rections. The slower the speed, the
thinner the cream and the more fat
will appear in the skimmilk DO not |
run too fast or you may damage the
bowl or spindle.
(e) The amount of water or skim
milk for flushing varies. Do not
use too much. Turn off the intake |
valve when the cream discharge ap-
pears watery.

PHOTOS VS.. DRAWINGS

In the days when photography was
In an imperfect stage of development
our pictures of live stock were made
by artists who used the living animal
as model, afterward retouching the
picture to show the individual to the
best possible advantage AS a result
of these corrections" applied to the
original sketch the animal and the
finished picture not only differed in
many essentials, but often bore little
resemblance to each other.
The ease of securing in our day
good photographs of animals and an.
lmal life renders unnecessary the
more expensive and less accurate
method of representation by means OF
drawings. The photograph is a rea.
sonably fair reproduction of the ami

be used much more extensively by
live stock breeders. For advertising
and Illustrative purposes In the live
stock press cuts can be made at rea-
sonable cost and the true animal
likeness reproduced for the benefit
of great number of people.
In spite OF the accuracy of the pho
tographic method and of the relative
cheapness of cuts from photo prints
many live stock men still prefer to
use cuts from distorted drawings to
represent their animals. We see fat,
chunky pigs with useless sorts of
heads and legs, great prancing and
unreal horses, sheep of a form that
does not now and never did exist,
and distorted views of beef and dairy
cattle in catalogues and live stock
journals and are less well informed
as to the idea to be conveyed after
gazing on such a picture than IL we
had not seen it. Such cuts certain
ly have no educational value.
Let us throw aside those old pic
lures and cuts that mean nothing and
come to the practical accurate and
modern method Of animal photography

yertising pages Of your press the typ

But the officials remained firm until
now and kept the marshal job open
until a special meeting Of the council

man for the place The other mem
bers declined to confirm the appoint
ment and Miss Ingalls, name was sug
gested. The vote for her was unani-
