FOR PUBLIC CONSIDERATION

The city council is preparing to
and order owners of the abutting
property to put in cement walks and
in case of failure to do so, to put
them in at the city's expense and as
sess the cost against the property,
and have it added to the taxes for
the coming year. This will be rather
expensive to the property owner, as
the whole amount will have to be
paid in one installnfent, and the ex-
ira cost of special survey, grading
and supervision will be added. To
avoid such n heavy burden imposed
all at once, many of the property
owners are considering the formation
of sidewalk improvement districts
and have the walks, curbs and alley
crossings put in at a single contract,
and issue ten year bonds to pay for
them, one-tenth being payable an
nually, as is done with the sewers.
This will tighten the burden on the
property owner, secure the improve
ment at a minimum cost, and insure
uniformity in the walks and curbs.
We understand two projects are now
under way and will soon be presented
to the city council for action. AS a
special levy of $4,000 was made to
enable the city to put in walks where
they have been condemned, it may
be wise and economical move to
form distr,cts and issue five per cent
bonds to pay for the improvements,
and avoid heavy outlay all at once.

AMERICANS
IN GERMANY
ARE ANXIOUS

United Fress.
BERLIN, April 22.-The embassy
has been besieged with Americans
requesting news. Many have also
telephoned to find out if the situa-
tion is sufficiently serious to war
rant their departure from Germany.
The Lokal Anzeiger, the paper with
the largest circulation in Germany
said: Owe insist upon our right to
hit cur foes in the weakest spot, but
nevertheless, we want peace with the
United Statse, just as we have want
ed peace with our present enemies.
An agreement with the United States
should be possible. Possibly, in our
attempt to safeguard our interests,
we have overstepped our rights"
There are 700 Americans in Ger
many. Many of them are preparing
to close up their affairs and leave the
country on short notice if there is
a severance of relations.
Many others, however, will remain
in Germany, even if the diplomatic
relations are severed, as they are
confident there will be no war.
There has been no exodus yet.

VARIATION IN CREAM TESTS

We are in receipt of a very inter
esting article sent out to the press
from the United States department of
agriculture, which will be of great
value to farmers interested in the
dairy and creamery business.
Since great interest is being mani
tested in this industry in the San
Juan country. the following article
will serve to explain many points
in the production of cream:
Careful Investigation serves to
pxava caachsslx khst sin.iaap4eail
BILE to run a cream separator under
ordinary farm conditions without a
variation in the richness Of the cream
This is not understood by some farm
ers, and as result there is some dis
content If the test of the cream de-
livered to the creamery varies from
time to time.
There are several factors which af-
feet the richness of the cream, some
of which are directly under the con-
troll of the producer and some of
which are caused by conditions which
he cannot regulate. The following
are the most important.
1. Speed of the separator BOWL
This is one of the most common caus-
es of variations in the cream test.
The higher the speed of the bowl the
smaller the amount of cream and the
higher the fat content; with low
speed the opposite is true. Many a
hand separator operator believes that
his machine is run at uniform speed
but experiments show that 1t is al
most impossible to maintain uniform
speed unless a speedometer is used.
g. Variation in the amount of
liquid used in flushing the BOWL
This factor generally affects the rich
ness Of the cream, especially when y
small quantity is being obtained.
The addition Of a small quantity Of
water or skim milk to the cream in
this way materially lowers the test.
To obtain the best quality of cream
il is advisable that skim milk al
Ways b. tsed as the medium f,r
flushing the bowl.
3. Variation in richness of milk
separated.-Other things. being equal,
high testing milk produces a higher
testing cream than low testing milk
hence, variations in the fat content
of milk from day to day and from
season to season cause variations in
the cream tests.
4. Temperature Of milk separated.
A richer cream will be obtainei
IL milk is separated at lower tenn
perature; hence a variation in tenn
perature will cause the test of the
cream to vary from day to day. A
loss of fat may result If cold milk il
separated and it is therefore highly
desirable that the milk be separated
at temperature not lower than 90
degrees F.
5. Rate Of inflow Of milk in to the
separator.-If there is some obstruc-
ton to the inflow into the bowl oi
the separator, or If the cock is oper
but part way, causing the milk II
flow more slowly, richer cream will
result. This factor is not of grea'
Importance, as such conditions sci
dom exist.
6. Adjustment Of cream screw
A high testing or low testing cream
may be obtained by the proper adjust
ment of the cream screw, but on ac
count of the five factors mentioned
above, this adjustment can not over
come the minor variations In test.
