Testing Milk,

Testing milk is the process of find
ing the amount of butterfat it con-
tains. In order to make an accurate
test a correst sample must be taken
In this Manner The milk should DC
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,
tho 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 specific gravity of the acid should
be 1872 to 1.s3 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 tho machine is bal

minutes. Then add hot water until
tho fat rises into the neck Of bottles.
Then run the tester about two min
utes 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 divid-
ers to measure the fat column. Gigs

rheumatism in Swine.

Not including hog cholera, perhaps
one of the most common ailments AZ
tlictine swine at this time of the year
Is rheumatism in it's different forms.
Probably the most common form is
the articular where the joints swell
and become very irritable.
CAUSES.-Swine, owing to their
peculiar surroundings, are somewhat
disposed to this disease. IT is prob
ably caused by a specific germ gettins <
into the alimentary canal, thence into
the blood, where it finds conditions
of least resistance in the joints and
produces the disease. Where swine
are kept in cold, wet quarters and
are constantly exposed to the weather
with it's chilling winds. they are more
susceptible. The use OF cold appli-
cations to eAterminatc external par
astes, or excessive feed with lack OF
exercise, may lead to an attack oi
the disease.
MPTOMS.-Perhaps it is unnec-
essary to describe in detail the symp-
toms of the disease Suffice 1t to say
there is fever. painful lameness and
loss of appetite. Severe pain is no-
ticed by pressing upon the swelled
joints. These conditions are varia-
BILE in duration, lasting from fen
weeks to several months, usually with
favorable termination.
TREATMENT-1he only treatment
of any benefit is prevention. Wei
ventilated, dry and warm Slecping
quarters are necessary. AlloWint
swine to sleep in stables and straw
stacks is very productive of this dis
ease. The sick hog should be made a!
comfortable as it is possible to do
which is as important as the applica
tion of medicines. The animal Should
syiN "a n
drachm doses, followed by salicylt,
OF soda and bicarhonate Of soda il
large doses. The dose of salicylate [
soda should be about twenty grains
two times daily. and give at the sam,
time one-half drachm of the hicarbon
ate of soda. These can pe given il
