Unstable Moon.

The celebrated observatory at
Greenwich, the place from which we
reckon longitude, was founded by
Charles II in 1875, mainly for the pur-
pose Of investigating the movements
of the moon in the interests of naviga-
ton. Although in the intervening two
and half centuries astronomers have
not yet become entirely amenable
to their mathematics. The astronO-
mer-royal of Great Britain, in his re-
port Of the work at Greenwich during
the past year. calls attention to the in.
creasing deviation between the cal,
culated position of the moon in the
sky and it's real position as shown by
the Greenwich observations. The de-
Walton has lately been growing in
serious manner. The error last year
was more than twelve times as large
as the error twenty years ago, and the
average annual increase during the
two decades has amounted to half
second of arc in longitude. The rea.
son that astronomers have failed in
getting exact results from calculations
based on dynamical laws of gravita-
ton is possibly the existence of some
attractive force that they have not
yet discovered, although the result
may also be affected by the true shape
of the earth. which still awaits accu-

Platteville.-Dr. W. J. Sutherland,

The death of President Sutherland

1902 and 1909 the A. NJ. degree. He
was principal of schools at Yorkville,
ILL.,, and served as superintendent at
Oregon and Charleston. He then took
position with the normal school at
MacOmb where he was head of the
department of geography and geology.
He served there six years and then
went to st. Paul, where he became
principal of the city training school.
He was made president of the Platte

Eumed Oak.

A good method of producing the Pc
clliar dark brown of old oak is by
fumigation with liquid ammonia. The
wood should be placed in a dark and
air-tight room, and half a pint or so of
ammonia poured into an open diTh
placed upon the ground. The gas that
comes from the ammonia acts in a
wonderful manner upon the tannic
acid in the wood. and browns it so
deeply that a shaving or two may be
taken off without removing the color.
The depth of shade will depend upon
the quantity of ammonia used and the
time allowed for the operation. Other
meth DDS may be used to obtain a sim
liar result. Liquid ammonia may be
laid on the wood with brush or rag,
and the color will deepen Immediately.
Potash bichromate, dissolved in cold
water, will produce a similar effect.
In Germany, the cabinet makers use
very strong coffee for darkening oak.
To make it very dark. use iron filings
with little sulphuric acid and water,
put on with a sponge, and allow it to
dry between each application, until the
right hue is reached.

friend ask Mary Stefka if she would
marry him, and changed his mind af-
ter she accepted, has twice attempted
suicide during the trial of Miss Stef-

First he tried to hang himself in the
toilet room of the courthouse. The de-
puties cut him down. Then he went
to a drug store and bought strychnine.
The deputies arrived just as he started
to eat it and knocked the box from his
hand. Then the jury gave Miss Stefka
a verdict for $3.50. Since then he
has been in jail, maddened with terror
and grief over his troubles.

such a tank can be made on almost
any farm. A can of cream placed in
ice water in such a tank will remain
sweet for several days. Many less ex-
pensive tanks were found in use that
gave desired results.
Figure 2 is an illustration of a con-
crete tank which can be constructed
at a small expense and which will
answer most purposes.
Figure 8 is a photograph of load
of 2,160 pounds of sweet cream which

ture was taken on a Saturday morning
when the outdoor temperature was 81
degrees Fahrenheit. Some of the
cream had been held from the previous
Wednesday evening At the time of
delivery to the creamery the tempera-
ture of the cream varied from SO de-
grees to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Had
the cans ben jacketed this tempera-
ture would have been even lower. If
this load of cream had been old and
sour and delivered subject to a four
cent premium per pound for butter
fat in sweet cream, the loss on the
load on a basis of 25 per cent fat
would have amounted to $3.50. On
the other hand. the ice used to cool
the cream on the farm added very lit
tie to the cost of production.

and cream the following summer
These dairymen realize the import
ance of the use of ice and provide
themselves with a suitable supply.
They have followed this practice for
several years, and most of them have
provided a convenient source of sup
ply, suitable houses for storing, and
ice-water tanks for the immediate
cooling of the milk or cream.
Some creameries accept any kind OF
cream without regard to it's condition
when delivered, and pay the same
price for all grades of cream. In some
dairy sections noted for the high quail
ity of butter produced, the operators
of creameries have found that in order
to get the highest market price for
their butter it is necessary to demand
a good, clean, raw product, and they
are now grading all cream and paying
on a quality basis. AS result the
producers are studying the situation
more closely, as they realize that they
must provide better facilities in caring
for their product. Many creamery
patrons who deliver sweet cream OBJ
ject to having it mixed with cream of
inferior grades, so they find it to their
advantage to deliver the product in
individual cans.
During the summer months it is sell
dom possible to find ordinary well

One of the most common causes of
poor quality of butter is the lack of
immediate, thorough cooling of the
cream after separation. The United
States department of agriculture has
made a careful investigation of con-
ditiOns existing on large number OF
dairy farms where first-class cream is
produced, and the data obtained shows
that, if properly cooled, cream of the
best grade can be produced with but
little extra labor or expense.
Dairymen in certain parts of New
England are delivering practically all
their product to the creameries while
sweet, although the cream is often
held on the farm from one to four
days in summer and from one to seven
days in winter. After it reaches the
creamery it is pasteurized and shipped
a distance of from so to 800 miles,
where it is sold in the form of sweet
cream. These results are accomplished
by the liberal use of ice, nearly every
farmer having stored large quantities
IN the winter for use in cooling milk

Wlsconsin's sterilization law, passed

states are watching results of expert
ments conducted here. Operations

there viii be more operations before

operations are a success, and it is
predicted that the plan in which Wis
consln is the pioneer, soon will be &C
cepted in other states.
Preparations for the operations were
carried on so quietly few persons,
even among the attendants at the in
sutu1on, were aware of any unusual
activity. The scientific world, how
ever, has had its eyes on Chippewa
