WINCHESTER, VA, December 5.-A
number OF farmers of the southern see

large, locks of sheep have suffered
nights on account of raids being made
by rowing dogs among their locke.
Briscoe Q. Shull, of WinchcStar was
one OF the heaviest losers, quite large
number OF his sheep having been killed
outright by the dogs, while others We're
expected to recover. The dogs usually
attack the sheep at the throat. and the
latter are powerlcss to defend them
selves. Some OF the farmers have en-

There is aAgrowing demand among
milk consumers, as we'll as dealers and
manufacturers of high-grado dairy
products. FOR new test that will show
the cleanliness and purity Of each lot
OF milk received The testing of milk
at creameries in the South and cheese
Factories in the North and Northwest
is usually confined to fat dstcrmina-
lion by approved tests.
The grading OF milk and cream at
factories has been attempted to some
extent In recent years. and AN effort
has been made TO base the price paid
FOR each lot upon the purity OF tho
milk as we'll as upon it's richness and
per cent of acidity. The method COM
monty used for this purpose has. as "A
rule, been confined to an inspection OF
the odor, the taste ard the amount. OF
sediment noticed in the bottom of, the
milk cans when these nre empticd.
The benefits to be derived from sucl,
an inspection depend largely ON the
eYpertneas OF the individual inspector
and the acuteuess OF his sense Of smell
and taste. This, undoubtedly. Is of
some value. but since there is no
universal STANDARD that can ne adopted
b% all persons doing such work, the
opinions of different inspectors may
differ I'm regard TO the purity OF the
anne lots OF milk.
SOME OF THE CAUSES OFF
MUCH COyTAMIN.ATI0N
The contamination OF milk before It
reaches tho consumer Is caused largely
by dirt or suspended matter that gets
into II through careessness In milking
or through failure TO protect the cans
from dust during transportation.
Nearly all milk Is strained at the
farms. and this removes some dirt.
There Is. however. a certain amount OF
sediment left that is not removed by
.hc strainers ordinarily used for this
purpose. complete separation OF the
dirt and suspended matter In sweet
milk is not an absolute proof of the
.Inount or character of the impurities

Norwegian Centennial.

May 10, 1914, marks the beginning
of Norwegian independence, after four
centuries of subsection to Denmark.
The approaching centennial is of inter-
est locally because over eleven per
cent of Wisconsin's population is of
Norwegian descent. Preeminent among
the states of the Union in respect to
foreign population. Wisconsin welcomes
no racial group to her border more
heartily than she does the Norwegian.
According to Doctor Louise Kellogg of
the State Historical Library, the first
Norwegian immigrants to Wisconsin
are thought TO have settled in Rock
county in 1888. The arrival of Sec
ond group at Milwaukee the following
spring aroused considerable local en-
thusiasm as it was thought to be pro-
phetic of the superiority of the atten-
tons of our nascent commonwealth
over the older states of the northwest.
These immigrants located in Racine
county. In 1910 the tide of immigra-
tion was turned into Dane county,
which has since become the most i'm
portant center of Norwegian interest
in the state. Next to Dane county,
the most important settlements are in
the northern and western sections of
the state, in Trempealeau, Vernon, La
Crosse, and other counties. Among
the cities, Superior heads the list with
nearly three thousand citizens of Nor
wegian descent. The debt of Wiscon-
sin to this element in her population is
incalculable.

leaves next to no profit for the original
packer.
The packers have bought cheap this
season, and are buying cheap now, and
if the tobacco is worth anything there
ought to be some money in it for the
buyer. Just what it's merits are will
appear in due time, after it has gone
through the sweat. And of course the
buyers are much concerned to learn
how it will go through this process, and
whether they will have much loss from
black rot or other troubles to which to-
bacco is heir.
The growers who early in the season
were wise enough to be satisfied to take
and 10 cents for their crops are the
happy men now, the ones who are not
heard bemoaning their unhappy lot and
declaring they will farm no more to-
bacco. They were probably the grow
ers who had informed themselves of
the state of the market and the prices
old goods were commanding, and were
satisfied to sell at fair figure. Fully
IS per cent of the crop remains unsold.
That Lancaster county's tobacco ac-
reage will be considerably reduced, ev-

if less profitable, but the shrinkage is

tobacco have been all along predicting.
Readers of these letters know that
Lancaster county usually grows about
16, 900 acres of tobacco, and nobody
familiar with the industry imagines
that it will shrink below IA, 900 acres,
