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 1t has many
uses. The most important one is to
the dairyman himself, because it en-
ables him to 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. NJ
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

When alfalfa growers from all Sec
lions 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 it a trial.
Of course, even the alfalfa enthusi-
asts do not encourage it's growth under
all conditions. Through their state
wide organization they are endeavoC-
ing, through the experiences and ex-
periments Of the members, to find out
under what conditions alfalfa growing
is advisable and profitable, and to ac'
quaint the farmers of the state with
the results of their numerous tests.
Success in growing alfalfa, accord

of the Alfalfa order of the Agricultural

Reports received late at night show

total death toll to 65. Three thousand
persons were homeless and there was
much suffering despite heroic relief

A new flood poured down the Tia

is at the foot of San Diego bay.
Of the thirty-four bodies recovered

The lower Otay valley was an arm

from the battleship Oregon and the
cruisers Milwaukee and South Dakota
patrOlled all approaches and penetrat-
ed into the valley, with orders to shoot
looters on sight. Each carried twenty
rounds of ammunition. The marines
under Capt. Charles T. Westcott, Jr,

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, 60 poor preparation of seed bed,
(4) weeds, 60 too thick sowing of the
nurse crop, Co late seeding, CD late
cutting, 60 pasturing, 90 poor soil,
(1O) low, fiat and poorly-drained soil
and CID winter killing"

cream had risen its thickness was
computed, and tbs cream was sold by
the inch. Sometimes small quantity OF
milk was churned in 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 its manufac-
turer, but all of these are rightfully
called Babcock testers, regardless or
what their trade name may be.-H. 3.

The BUILDING
Of 4 COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies or
Western Canada connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle, horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
cf looking upon their work, and its
results with pardoEable pride. If they
Renaissance, and tell Of the hardships
and the privations, why shouldn't
they? The broad prairies on which
the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities, towns and villages.
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo OF
laborious work off the farm, and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous Of occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp Of manhood. Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs in
the days when they heWed their homes
out Of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tiful farms in the east. On the whole
the western prairies breed a high type
of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were
it not for the upbuilding influence and
character of prairie life.
When the builder of the western Ca

pand? It was probably some Of this
feeling of pride that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann, vice president OF
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg, when he said:
Il am not in the habit of giving adj
vice, but / have no hesitation Of advis-
ing the young men of Canada, every
young man, to get out and get piece
of western Canada's land that now
can be had for the asking and be their

time there were less than 10000
people west of Lake Huron in Canada,

are nearly 10000 miles of railway in
actual operation and the population is
over two and quarter million, won

riod you will agree, when you have

"At that time all the flour, meat and
many other supplies for our contracts
were brought from the States. Now

day. You have grain production ex-
ceeding billion bushels and yet only
comparatively small area of the till

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease, or disease of brain or lungs.
