THE BABCOCK TEST.
That Old, Yet Ever New Question.
By H. NJ. Tucker. Assistant, Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry.

By H. NJ. Tucker, Assistant, Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry.
No one process IN the evolution of the
dairy business has done so much to stand
ardize that business as the Babcock test.
The writer well remembers when cream
cries bought cream by the inch, or space,
because there was no means of determin-
ing the butter content except by churn-
ing and weighing the butter; and this was
seldom done, because of the bother of
keeping the patrons cream separate.
! This method put premium on dlshon-
esty, and person that was drawing the
skim milk from under his cream, twice
day, must have had pretty stiff back
bone, not to yield to the temptation of
cream than was absolutely necessary;
and it soon developed that the dishonest
farmer was the most prosperous dairy
man. Then the Babcock tester came like
''Star in the East and was heralded
with Joy by every honest milk and cream
producer in the country. And yet, as
have been brought in contact with the
dairy farmers of New England, as an or
ganizer of the N. E. M. P. A., and have
been in close touch with the dairy inter
ests of Maine for many years, | am sorry
to say that this same Babcock test is the
cause of more dissatisfaction and argu-
ment than any other phase of the bust
ness Just why this is so and what the
best remedy is, is difficult question to
solve.

would procure Babcock tester for him
self, learn to run it (Which is not difficulty
and make a systematic study of the varia-
tons in the test of his cows milk, from
day to day and month to month, in many
cases, he would find as great variation
as that shown by his creamery. He will
find there are many causes for the varia-

1t is said of Gen. Parshing that he is
the ideal West Pointer-a man of iron, a
great organizer, fearless fighter, clever
diplomat, and beneath it all very much a
man.
An anecdote illustrating the latter point
is told of his return to his home town a
few years ago.
The first person he sought out was
"Aunt" Susan Hewitt, a friend of his
mothers, whose pies were a memory of
his boyhood days.
When the white-haired old lady and
the stern-faced soldier met, both wept
and when, that night, reception was
given in honor of the General, he came
for "Aunt" Susan to take her to the party
in buggy
AS an administrator Gen. Pershing has
shown great powers. Like Grant, Sher-
man and Sheridan, he arrived at military
efficiency through plodding labor as a
quartermaster and in other Jobs involving
much labor and attention to detail.
AS diplomat he showed his merit in
the trying l l months his punitive exped-
ton spent in Mexico His orders were
to put the 'soft stop" on the situation
wherever possible, for the Administra-
ton, possibly foreseeing that the world
war would drag in the United States, was
bent on pacifying the Mexicans, not
rousing them.
DiStaSteful as such a course was to a
soldier, Pershing followed it in the logi-
cal way. He brought the benighted Mexi-
cans whom he met out of the cloud of
suspicion that covered them and made
them understand that the intentions of
the United States toward the Mexican
people were not hostile.
Leading dates in the life of Gen. Perish
ing are as follows:
1860, Oct. 18th, born at Laclede, Linn
County, Mo-, his father being a section
boss on a railroad.
1877, taught in country schools in his
native State.
1880, was graduated from the Kirkville
Normal school
1886, was graduated from the U. S
Military Academy at West Point, where

Apaches in New Mexico.

SORGHUM DAYS AGAIN.
From the Kansas City Star

Kansas is babbitting the old sorghum
mill and getting ready to snap it's fingers
at the increased price of sugar Time was
when every little farming community had
its sorghum grinder and big pan for boil
ing down the juice into 1arrup," but
sorghum making has become almost a
lost art the last quarter of a century.
The report for 1916 showed only 1874, 600
gallons of sorghum molasses produced in
the State. In 1889, when the industry
was going at about its best, the State
turned out 5, 331, $50 gallons
There may be some among us who be-
lieve that even 1874, 900 gallons of sorg-
hum molasses is enough, but a true Kan
san has no such illusions. Back in the
and fruit was limited to dried apples, april
cots and prunes, sorghum molasses was
in truth lifesaver.
And, so far as the boys on the farm
were concerned, there was fun connected
with the production Of molasses, too
Along early in the fall, when the seeds on
the juice was sweet as sugar, came mo-
lasses time. With flat sticks the boots
were stripped from the cane. Then the
SIoShS WOlC SHoppCu uoWu duu tuC SCcuS
cut off and saved until the threshing ma
chine should pull in. The work was en-
tered into with zest, for it betokened
speedy and material reward in a fresh
mess of molasses and also because it
meant trip to the sorghum mill and an
inspection of its wonderful machinery.
Stripped and topped, the stalks were
corded upon wagon and hauled to the
mill, which separated the succulent Juice
from the pith of the stalks and ran it into
buckets to be carried and emptied into
the steaming pan, where it dubbed and
sputtered and exuded it's sweetness upon
the autumn air until it had been reduced
to the desired thickness Sometimes the
fire of dried stalks, pith and Surface
coal' under the pan would get too hot or
the boys would become remiss in their
stirring and the sugary mass would be
scorched, but everybody was good natured
usually would not be harsh.
Then would come the Job of drawing
off the molasses into jugs and Jars and
the trip back home in the rafting old
lumber wagon with the winters supply
of sorghum safely aboard
There may be some incongruity about
sorghum time in these days of motor cars
and picture shows and other incidentals
OF an etfete civilization, but sorghum mo-
lasses still will be found of great value in
the saving of sugar, and there is scarcely
limit to the amount of it Kansas and it's
nelghbors can produce.

GENERAL PERSEIING.

Maj. Gen. John Joseph Pershing, named
by the President to lead the first division
of United States troops to fight on the
soil of France, is an American of whom
all sections of the country may feel proud.
Here are some pertinent facts about
him:
He is from Missouri.
His first service as an officer was as an
Indian fighter under Gen. Nelson A. Miles.
He is veteran of warfare against the
Apaches and the Sioux, of the war with
Spain, of hard bush campaigns against
the Moros in the Philippines, and of the
punitive campaign of 1916 in Mexico
He is 81 years old and widower, his
wife and three young daughters having

ANY WASTE OF BREAD
IS INEXCUSABLE

A single slice of bread seems an unim-
portant thing. In many households, one
or more slices of bread daily are thrown
away and not used for human food. Some
times stale quarter-or half-loaves are
thrown out.
Yet one good-sized slice of bread-such
as a child likes to cut-weighs an ounce
1t contains almost 3-4 of an ounce of flour
If every one of the country's 1000, 900
homes wastes on the average only one
such slice of bread day, the country is
throwing away daily over $4,000, 900
ounces of flour--over 875, 900 pounds, or
enough flour for over a million 1-pound
loaves a day. For a full year at this
rate there would be waste of over 319,-
000,0 900 pounds of flour, 800, 600 barrels
of flour-enough to make 365, 900, 5000
loaves.
AS it takes A IL bushels Of wheat to
make a barrel of ordinary flour, this
waste would represent the flour from over
1000, 600 bushels of wheat
Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels of
wheat on the average are raised per acre.
1t would take the fruit of some 470, 900
acres just to provide single slice of
bread to be wasted daily in every home
To produce this much flour calls for an
army of farmers, railway men, flour-mill
people. To get the flour to the consumer
calls for many freight cars and the use of
many tons of coal.
But, some one says, full slice of bread
is not wasted in every home. Very well
make it daily slice for every four or
every 10 or every 80 homes-make it a
weekly or monthly slice in every home
or make the wasted slice thinner The
waste of flour involved is still appalling
altogether too great to be tolerated
when wheat is scarce.
Any waste of bread is inexcusable when
there are so many ways of using stale
bread to cook delicious dishes

KENT'S HILL BOYS FOR FARM WORK

kENTS HILL, Me. Hon. Horace H.
Shaw, for years president of the Maine
Wesleyan Seminary, Wednesday made
an appeal and an announcement at chap
ell that is far-reaching in its significance
both to the students and the nation. He
gave details of a scheme under which the
seminary farm, claimed to be the most
fertile and best-equipped school farm in
Maine, is to triple its acreage. He made
an appeal for boys and girls to work in
the fields during the next few weeks,
planting and cultivating, in order to
make possible a large crop in the fall.
Captain Shaw as he is popularity
KNOWN is great favorite of the student
body and is always given good hearing
whenever he visits the Hill, but his talk
at this time was fundamentally bust
ness proposition and was well received
by the boys and girls. He took a census
of those who had had farm experience at
h ONE and found over half the students so
equipped He afterwards appealed to the
others to place themselves at his disposal
as workers and practically every boy and
every tgirl, too, volunteered to serve.
The plan is Immediately to place three
times the usual acreage under cultivation
and pay these boys and girls for their
time in the field, using them Saturdays
and during their free periods of the other
week days.
The present crisis has proved beyond a
doubt the advisability of running a good
farm in connection with an institution of
learning like the seminary
