WITHOUT CHANGE In
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS

A BabcOck milk tester should be in
every high school laboratory, and
every dairyman ought to own one, or
have the use Of one. It has many
uses The most important one is to
the dairyman himself, because it en-
ables him tC tell which COWS are pay
ing their way and which are boarders
In the state of Wisconsin, which has
been called our foremost dairy state,
it is said that one COW out of five does
not pay for her keeping. To
pay the same price for all milk, re-
CARELESS of the amount of fat it con-
tains, is unfair to the good COW and
to the honest dairyman because man
can increase the volume of his milk
by the addition of water. The
demand for some simple and accurate
means of determining the per cent Of
fat became especially urgent twenty
five or more years ago and DR.. S. M.
Babcock of the University of WiscOn-
sin set himself to the meeting of this
need. Numerous plans were
being tried One was that of measur-
ing the thickness of the cream. Large
tin cans holding five gallons or more
had a glass gauge fitted into the side
of the can near the top After the

Flood at Darlington.

Darlington Democrat: On Saturday
morning the people of Darlington were
rather surprised to find the old Peca-
tonica moving slowly but steadily up to
meet them. Rain had fallen in the
night, but not in quantities to warrant
any such food. Below the bridge the
water broke across the meadows and
did little damage, but above the dam
the ice had gorged and quick work was
all that saved many boat houses. Two
horses belonging to w. E. Collins were
caught on little elevation about half
way between the railroad bridge and
the dam. In short time the water
rose to between three and four feet
around them and before anybody could
help them, they were swept down the
river and over the dam. The young
horse, fine riding pony, was rescued
at point farther down the river, but
the old one was swept away. Trains
were tied up for several days and

When alfalfa growers from all sec.
tons of the state meet in Madison
some time during the present winter
they will exchange reports on the ex-
periences and experiments of the past
year and decide upon further field
trials which, it is hoped, will help to
insure still greater success and profit
from the growing of this great forage
crop. For, although alfalfa is grown
In every county of the state, not every
one who sows the crop succeeds with
it, and not nearly enough farmers have
given 1t trial.
OF course, even the alfalfa enthust
asts do not encourage it's growth under
all conditions. Through their state
wide organization they are endeavor-
ing, through the experiences and ex-
periments of. the members, to find out
under what conditions alfalfa growing
is advisable and profitable, and to &C
quaint the farmers of the state with
the results of their numerous tests
Success in growing alfalfa, accord
ing to James B. Cheesman, president
of the Alfalfa order of the Agricultural
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1916-02-03

Experiment association, is reasonably
certain with the man who carefully
studies the crop in reference to his To-
cal conditions.
"But where the farmer takes a
chance and neglects to test his soil for
sourness, to inoculate and to study
the best methods of seeding under
Wisconsin conditions, alfalfa growing
is usually disappointing.
ITO succeed with alfalfa, as with
about everything else, we must follow
the rules of the game. AS these are
comparatively simple and already
quite clearly defined, failure is almost
unnecessary.
From the one thousand or more re-
ports on alfalfa growing in Wisconsin
which we have received during the
past few years, it has been found that
the principal reasons for failure have
BEEN CD lack of incubation, (2) sour
soils, go poor preparation of seed bed
(4) weeds, 60 too thick sowing of the
nurse crop, CO. late seeding, CD late
cutting, 81 pasturing, CO. poor soil
(10) low, fiat and poorly-drained soil
and (11) winter killing"

cream had risen it's thickness was
computed, and the cream was sold by
the inch Sometimes small quantity Of
milk was churned in a miniature
churn, the amount of fat determined,
and from this the total amount of but
terfat in the whole quantity of milk
was calculated. These and all
other methods were unsatisfactory
until Doctor Babcock invented the
milk tester. He took out no patent
on this invention because he thought
that inasmuch as he had invented it
while in the employ of the people of
his state, the invention rightfully be-
longed to them. There are many test
ers on the market now, each bearing
a trade name given it by it's manufac-
turer, but all of these are rightfully
called Babcock testers, regardless of
what their trade name may be.-H. E.

RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR.

To half pint of water add 1 or. Bay
Rum, small box of Barbo Compound,

THE DIARY OF
 A DEBUTANTE

Saturday Night, March 1S-Here I am, long past the debutante stage and years older than any debutante could be, but I simply refuse to be interrupted in that rude way. and so I shall finish my tale. If dad hadn't taken a sudden notion to take me to New York with him, I should have closed this book forever, but since he did, and left 1t lying face down. ward on my desk. shall just write down the thrilling finale.
 Of course, 1t made me just little sad when Bunlkie told me I was no longer debutante, for had had most won- derful time and hated to think that it was over. and then realized that good times were not over but just be- ginning. So, there is still one wonder full event." I said, and Bunkie just al- most ate me up with his eyes, and then just as seriously, he took his mask from against his gaudy harlequin suit, and offered it to me.
 Elizabeth" he said, wont you take my mask and keep it, too, as have yours" And then I remembered about that silly favor last Tuesday night and what it meant in my heart, and blushed and hid my face and then-oh, then-diary book--I closed the debutante chapter and took just a peep, very tiny one, into the next.
 So it is good-by to debutante days, and wish, oh, I couldn't wish any better fortune for them, than has come to me. There are not eight men or four or two in the world like Bunkie, but some are
 most as nice. and that is wonderful So there are Margaret and Leonora and Beverly, and Dorothy, and Elizabeth, and Marion, and Beth, and Gertrude, and the others, who have danced and played and dined throughout the season with me, who are happily on their way. They were wonderful girls, wonderful women ir the making, and wish them joy, ad- ditional joy for already they know the social success that has been given them during the season.
 Some of them will give up society. l expect, and some of them will do big things, but I am quite glad that the debbies, the eight little girls who made eight beautiful bows. and who have given Birmingham the most perfect season it
 has ever had, have counted me in their | number.
 (The End.)
