the bottles with the name of the cow

Thoroughly mix the sample to be
tested, then draw the pipette nearly
full of milk by sucking with the lips.
Quickly place the foretinger over the
upper end of the pipette. before the
milk runs down below the mark. If
the finger is dry, it is easy. by chang
ing the pressure on the end of the
tube, to let the milk run dow slowly
and to stop it exactly at the mark.
The tip of the pipette is placed in the
top of the test bottle held in an in
clined position, and the milk is al
lowed to run down one side of the

Ten necessary steps in making the
Babcock test are as follows: Mix the
milk thoroughly and take out small
sample. Do not let the sample evapo-
rate or curdle before testing. Fill the
pipette to the mark with milk. Empty
the pipette without loss into a Babcock
test bottle. Add sulphuric acid from
the measuring cylinder to the test bot
tie Mix the acid and milk thoroughly
by shaking the bottle. Place bottles
in the centrifuge cover and whirl five
minutes. Add hot water and whirl
again twice one minute each time.
Read and record the per cent OF fat

test bottles and wash thoroughly.

JOHN AND TOM.

John and Tom were classmates. For
several years they studied and played.
together. Both were attentive. we'll
behaved. honest, and neither appeared
to be superior to the other. After
graduation they entered a wholesale
dry goods house. began at the bottom.
and were given opportunity to learn
the business.
During the first year there was no
perceptible difference in their work,
or the result OF it, and both received
the same amount Of raise in salary.
At the end of the second year. how
ever, John was promoted and occupied
a position much superior to that held
hy Tom. Why? Did John possess
kreater ability than Tom? Was he
tsore faithful? Was he more attentive
&c his duties? Probably not He did
one thing, however. the importance
Of which Tom did not seem to realize.
He became familiar. not only with
those things which pertained to his
immediate duties and to his depart
ment Of work, but he went beyond
them. He visited other dry goods
stores and studied their methods. He
talked with men in his line OF work
who were connected with other estab-
lishments. He read dry goods trade
papers and every book upon the sub
ject which he could obtain. He
grounded himself in dry goods, knew
the history Of the business. and. to a
large extent, the action and policy
of 1t, not only in regard to his own
house, but with reference to dry goods
houses in general. He became famil-
lar with credits; he followed the mar
ket. In five years he was the head
| OF large department, and in ten
years n member of the firm. although.
OF course. his interest was small.
l am aware that this rapid promo
tion is not usual. for many a good
man, ambitious and taking the initia-
| tive, does nc. become a partner in ten
years, or twenty years. or thirty years;
but 1t may be stated as fact that no
one who does not do as John did ever
gets beyond subordinate position or
is allowed to assume more than or
dinary responsibility.
Tom was as faithful. as honest. as
hard a worker as John. Tom worked.
and was satisfied with doing his duty.
John worked, and did more than his
duty Tom attended to those things
which he wal told to do. John did
all that Tom did, and more. Tom
loved to work. and worked. John
loved to work. and worked. but he
also threw his mind into his work.
He made it = part OF himself. and.
therefore, 1t was not drudgery.
The foregoing is hut another illus
tration Of the contention which I
have always held. namely. that doing
ones duty is not sufficient. that faith
fulness is not enough. To succeed.
and to occupy a position above rub
ordinate one. re !uires not only work
and hard worx, but an intense love for
the work. and. above all, the taking Of
the initiative. doing what you do not
have to do. assuming responsibility
which is not placed upon you. feeling
that you are part of the business
and not mere employee.
| The load that you voluntarily shoui-
der is not half as hard to carry as
is the burden which 10 thrust upon
| you.

Keep Tools Bright and Shining.

After being put away in the tool
chest for few days, unused tools
often rust badly, especially in very
wet weather. To prevent this, soak
an old sponge or piece of flannel with
machine oil and put it in the chest
with the tools. This takes but a mo-
ment, and as long as the oil remains
the tools will keep bright and shining.
