Cattle raising is growing in equal
proportion with the tendency toward
crop Investigation.
With the the expans IN OF the cat
tie raising industry in the county
there is a growing interest in cattle
dipping. There are now six of these
watts in the. county and they are being
put to full use with obvious and prof.

zens: Tom Nesbitt, IL miles east OF

How to Determine the Amount Of Fats
In Cream.
Professor Lindet of the French agro-
nomic institute has given to the Acad
envy of Agriculture very simple proc
ess for calculating rapidly the guam
tity of fatty matter in cream. 1t is the
fatty matter that gives cream its
quality the laore of this butter the
better the cream. This is the process
A drop Of cream Is placed upon a
sheet Of paper and introduced at once
into an oven heated to 105 degrees c.
The watery part Of the cream evapo
rates, and the fat. absorbed by the pa
per, forms spot which enlarges rap
idly at first, then more slowly as the
edges Of the spot increase their dis
lance from the point at which the drop
has been placed. At the end Of Il
specified time the area of the spot is
measured and compared with that of
