SUGGESTIONS MADE
FOR TESTING MILK
Sample Should Be Taken Quickly
in Order to Get Correct Test
Plan Outlined.

(By c. p. UNWIN, Oklahoma Expert
ment Station.)
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 a sample
would not be correct.
After getting the sample for testing
the next step would be to measure 17.5
&C with the milk pipette into the milk
bottle, and then add about the same
amount of sulphuric acid, depending
on the strength of the acid. The spe-
cific gravity of the acid should be 1872
to 1873 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 balanced.
Run the machine for about five min
utes. Then add hot water until the fat
rises into the neck of bottles Then
run the tester about two minutes and
add enough water so the fat has risen
above the zero mark on the neck of
the bottle. The bottle may then be
read by using pair of dividers to
measure the fat column.

TOM MOORE FINDS THE
BUSINESS END OF A DOG

Tom Moore, who is co-starred with
Anna Nilsson in the new who's Gull
tyr" series of photo-novels, which the
Arrow Film Corporation has produced
for release through the Pathe Ex-
changes, once served an enlistment
in the New York National Guard. I'm
til recently he had never told why he
so summarily left the militia service.
Now he lets the cat-or dog-out of
the bag.
1t seems that Moore was doing SEN
tinel duty one night in the annual
camp. A rather hea-bitten dog prowl-
ed along Moore's dimly lighted post
and bothered the young soldier nearly
to death. Moore ended the affair In
his own way.
The next morning he was summon
ed before his company commander.
"Moore!" said the officer, here's a
young woman who says you killed
her dog last night. What about it?"
HE did it, know he did it," sobbed
Moore's female accuser. my dog was
dead right where that soldier paraded
back and forth. / think it's a crime
to kill a defenseless dog like that!"
Nothing defenseless about that
dog" cheerily answered Moore. "He
took good bite at my leg-so jam
med my bayonet into him."
why stick him with your bayonet?
Why" asked the captain, didn't you
defend yourself with the butt of your
rife?"
Huh" retorted Moore. why
didn't the dog bite me with his tail?''

NICKEL WILL REPLACE PAPER

Edison is not alarmed by the paper
scare; he foresees the day when nickel
will be substituted for paper in books,

mates that a sheet of nickel one
twenty-thousandth of an inch thick is
cheaper more flexible and more dur
able than an ordinary sheet of note

Central packing houses in areas
where the production Of cantaloupes
is an important industry are suggested
in a Farmers Bulletin, No. TOT, as a
promising means Of solving some of
the problems Of the cantaloupe grower.
About one-half of the trouble in mar
keting cantaloupes, says this bulletin,
appears to arise from the difficulty Of
securing a steady and properly pre-
pared output of uniform grade, quail
ity, and appearance. This difficulty
would be overcome to a large extent
If individual growers in any commu-
nifty produced crops of the same va
riety and quality, handled them in the
same way. and were both competent
and willing to grade and pack them
correctly. AS long, however, as each
grower packs and ships his own fruit,
a uniform standard of quality and ap-
pearance is hardly possible.
In recent years the production Of
cantaloupes has increased greatly and
as result competition on the market
has become much keener. "On the 9TH
er hand" states the bulletin, years of
observation warrant the statement
that markets are rarely glutted with
fruits or vegetables of first-class quail
ity. Even when the market is over
stocked, well-graded and well-packed
products will be taken and the medic
ere stock left on the dealers hands,"
The individual cantaloupe grower,
therefore, will profit by seeing that his
product is as attractive as that of any
Of his competitors. Further, the en-
tire cantaloupe industry will profit by
improving the quality and the appear
ance Of the melons grown for market.
It is always possible for the consumer
to turn from cantaloupes to some 9TH
er fruits, and the demand is almost
certain to vary directly with the quail
ity Of the product.
A very important factor in securing
the desired attractiveness is uniform
ity. Under the present system, grad
ing and packing are frequently done
by the same man. This, in the opinion
of specialists in the department, is a
mistake Whenever possible the pack
er should be left free to give his atten-
ton to securing pack of standard
count which is both tight and attrac-

POINTS IN SEEDING
ALFALFA FOR STAND
Soil Is Flowed in Spring or Fall
and Lined if Necessary
Keep Weeds Down.

For the beginner seeding the alfalfa
alone gives the best results. The soil
is plowed in the fall or early spring
and lined If necessary. Then the field
is disked and narrowed often enough
up to the 1st of June or July to clean
the land of weeds.
On average fields this weed killing
process need not be continued later
than the first week in June, but with
a weedy soil it is we'll to harrow and
disk until July or August. The field
is then inoculated and the alfalfa
seeded at not less than 20 pounds per
acre.
With a favorable season one crop
or two crops of hay are sometimes
secured before September 1, but this
is entirely dependent on the rainfall
and soil conditions

tive. The grader should have thrown
out beforehand undesirable fruit
and also should have graded the canta-I
loupes according to their ripenoss
The latter is an important point. for
experience has shown that cantaloupes
produced in the West are often mar
keted in green condition In nearby
cities. while other shipments reach
the large Eastern markets in an over
ripe condition. Fruit designed for
long journeys should be packed when
less mature than that intended for
marketing near at hand.
The packing Of cantaloupes would
be simplified and the packages made
more attractive by the use of a much
smaller variety of containers. The full
sized standard crate and standard fat
crate meet most of the demands OF the
market and should be used whenever
practicable. The standard cantaloupe
crate is the one in which the bulk of
the crop is now shipped from Califor-
MIA, New Mexico, Florida, Utah, Colo
RADIO, Texas, Georgia, the Carolinas,
Delaware, Maryland, and several other
states. It consists of two ends, IL

Whatever type of crate Is used, 1t is
important that the melons In each con-
tainer should be of the same size. This
ply large restaurants, hotels, railway
dining cars and similar institutions. In
consequence, the market discriminates
against crates in which large and
small cantaloupes are packed together.
Central packing houses in which the
grading and packing of the fruit could
be conducted according to permanent
and fixed standard would greatly facili-
tate the adoption of the desired re-
forms. In sections where melons are
now marketed through growers CO.
operative marketing organizations 1t
should not be difficult to extend the as
sociation's activities to the manage

cumstances 1t would probably be desir-
able to have competent held men in.
