FINDING BUTTERFAT OF MILK
Directions for Making Correct Test

iege.l
Testing milk Is the process of find
ing the amount of butterfat 1t con-
tains. In order to make an accurate
test correct sample must be taken
In this manner: The milk should be
poured from one vessel to another and
the sample quickly taken, for II the
sample is not taken at once, more or
less cream will rise. and sample
would not be correct.
After getting the sample for test
ing. the next step would be to meas
ure It's &C with the milk pipette into
the milk bottle and then add about the
same amount OF sulphuric acid. de-
pending on the strength of the acid.
The specific gravity Of the acid should
be 1872 to 1888 for the best results.
The acid should be added with the
acid cylinder, revolving the bottle
while adding the acid. Mix acid and
milk by rotary motion. Place them
in tester so that the machine is bal
anced Run the machine for about
five minutes Then add hot water I'M
til the fat rises into the neck of bot
ties. Then run the tester about two
minutessand add enough water so the
fat hashrisen above the zero mark
on the neck o. the bottle. The bottle
may be read by using pair of diyid-
ers to measure the fat column.

themselves. have seen hundreds Of
acres of pasture land reclaimed in this
way and with a profit to the farmer.
Another method OF Improvement
which could be practiced much more
than 1t is, would be to NOW the pas
ture-first to cut down the weeds be-
fore they go to seed, and, secondly, to
get rid Of the overripe and undesirable
pasture grass.
Often the weeds can be controlled In
this way, except those that reproduce
by means of underground stems. In
this case continuous grubbing is the
only sure method of complete eradica-
ton.
Moving down the ripe or dry grass
not only rids the pasture Of food that
the cattle will not eat in most cases,
but invigorates new growth of green
leaves at time when otherwise there
would be but little good grass obtain
able. More general moving of our
pasture lands where moving is need
ed would result in more available pas
ture during harvest time or shortly
after when there Ia often a lack of
green grazing.

SELECTING WOOD LOT TREES
Straight, Qulek-Growine, clear-RoIed
Trees Should Be Kept to Grow
to Large Size.

The trees selected for fuel should
be those which the wood lot can do
without easily. The removal of the
best trees year after year will in the
end leave the wood lot with only
poor trees.
The straight, quick-growipg, long,
clear-boled trees should be kept to
grow to large size. and the crooked,
broken, dead-topped, suppressed and
diseased individuals, which will not be
missed, should be removed.
It is common to see in wood lots old
trees of poor form occupying space a
half-dozen thrifty trees should occupy,
because no one had the courage to re-
move them. Such trees should be the
first to be cut.

PRAYING MANTIs is BENEFIT
Insect Feeds on Other Soft-eodIed
Forms, Consequently Egg Masses
Should Be Protected.

While pruning trees. do not allow
egg masses of the Praying Mantis to
remain on the wood that is pruned out.
especially IL this wood is burned. The
Mantis is 6 beneficial insect, since II
feeds on other soft-bodied forms, con-
sequengly the egg masses should be
protected. They are small. waxlike
bodies about one-Quarter of an inch In
diameter and one inch in length, and
are OF a dull straw color. These egg
masses should not be confused with
the egg masses Of the Tent Caterpillar.
The eggs OF the Tent Caterpillar are
deposited in the form of small band
completely encireling the smaller
twigs. while the Mantis eggs are at
tached to one side OF the twigs. The
Tent Caterpillar eggs should be de-
stroyed.

deep straw and are either crushed by
the SOW or die from exposure.
Give the SOW as little attention as
possible while she is narrowing, unless
she must have assistance. In severe
weather place the pigs as fast as they
come in basket in which blanket
is laid over warm stone. Keep them
well covered, and after all are born
and have become warm and dry take
them to their mother and place each
one at teat. Then cover the mother
and pigs.
During the first forty-eight hours
watch carefully, and II pig strays
from its mother, put 1t back against
her body where 1t will be warm.

IMPROVE THE PASTURE
First Point Is to Remove All
Weeds, Brush and Trees.
Excellent Results Can BE Obtained
by Pasturlng Goats and Sheep
Source Of Income Themselves
and Save Much Labor.

The first point in improving the pas
ture is to rid 1t Of all weeds, brush and
trees which are not to be used for
shade trees or some other purpose,
such as protection, windbreak. etc,
H. w. Swope writes in Farm Life.
This can be done by grubbing, firing
and pasturing by goats and sheep, Elk
cellent grazing lands can be made to

burden to the farmer. The practice
Of pasturing with goats to clean up the
weeds, brush and to kill the stripping

not only save the cost Of labor, but
are an increasing source of income

HIGH QUALITY GARDEN SEED
Experiments Conducted by PennsyI.
vanla Experiment station With Diff
ferent Cabbage Seed.

Good seed is an important matter
with the gardener as well as the farm
er. It never pays to buy cheap seed.
Experiments were carried on year or
two ago by the Pennsylvania Expert
ment station with some ten or more
strains OF cabbage seed Of the same
varieties from different firms.
They found variations of yield from
five to ten or fifteen tons an acre, ae-
cording to the strain Of seed.
The seed OF the highest quality
meant several dollars more to the acre
in net returns, even if it did cost a few
cents more q pound.

The legislature will meet hero in ex.
traordinary session on March 21 for
the purpose of conducting impeach-
ment proceedings against Criminal
Judge Jesse E. Edgington and Attor-
ney General 2. N. Estes of Shelby
county
The call for the session was issued
on March II by Governor Rye as re-
suit of campaign waged against the
two officials who are charged with nu-
merous acts Of misfeasance and NAL
feasance, corruption and incompe-
tency.
Judge Edgington has retained coun-
sci for the hearing. Attorney General
Estes, however, announces that he will
not retain counsel, declaring that ho
is in better position than anyone else
to conduct his own defense.
This will be the first time the legis'
lature has met to conduct impeach-
ment proceedings in twenty-three
years.
Whether the Legislature as whole
or a specially appointed committee

ment charges against Judge Edging-
ton. threatens to participate the first
fight OF the present special session.
TTnon the strength of the anti.commit-
tee forces depends almost entirely the
solution of this question.
Strong opposition to the committee
plan was evident prior to the assem-
bling of the solons. A number Of the
incoming legislators have openly ex.
pressed themselves as opposed to the
committee plan for open hostility lie

MAKING MONEY FROM SHEEP
Breed Best Mutton Rams to Range.
Bred Ewes and Have Lambs
Dropped During Cold Weather.

The secret OF making money from
sheep in the corn belt is breeding the
best mutton rams to range-bred ewes.
and having the lambs dropped in cold
weather.
It is a well-known fact that, pound
for pound of grain. forage and fodder
fed a mutton lamb, as a rule, viii pay
better returns than any other domes-
tic animal.
The secret Of the English shep-
herds success lies in the fact that he
considers the sheep an animal to be
cared for and coddled, from birth to
sale.
