Wireless Works Best by Nloht.

As a result of certain observations
made during the solar eclipse Of May
20 last, further evidence Is forthcom-
Ing with regard to the phenomena Of
day and night wireless signaling.
Under normal conditions the wire
less station at Meudon, Paris, is un-
able to receive daylight signals from
Ascension island, but can do 80 during
the hours of darkness. During the
eclipse, which was not visible In
France and only partially visible In
Ascension, special tests were made be-
tween the two stations, and 1t was
found that while the moons shadow
passed between them Ascension was
quite audible at Meudon, the signals
falling as the shadow passed away.
This may be taken as additional proof
that the increase In the distance at
which a given transmitter is able to
affect a given receiver as result Of
nightfall, Is due to the diminution Of
the effect Of solar radiation on electro
magnetic waves.

Health In CITY and Country.

Are city dwellers less subject to dis.
ease than the country bred, after ALI
Statistics from the cantonments seem
to show 1t, and an editorial writer in
the Journal of the American Medical
Association suggests that although the
city may harbor more disease germs
than the country the dwellers in 1t may
have become comparatively immune.
It Is we'll known that the natives Of
remote islands to which the diseases
of civilization" have never penetrated
are ravaged by them to an unheard Of
degree when they are introduced by
the white man. Possibly a rural dis
trtct, though inherently free from dis.
ease, may for that very reason yield
more rapidly to infection when It
comes. Study Of conditions such as
these, the writer notes, has been great
ly facilitated by the existence Of large
bodies of men modified in army
camps subject to systematized medical
supervision which has furnished
unique opportunities for gathering sta.
tistics on an unprecedented scale.

A Silo for Every Farm.

Edward W. Morton. Cumberland County AGENT
There are several distinct advantages
to be gained In having silo. They are
these: Hay and grain are saved when
silage Is included In the ration. A corn
crop properly stored In the silo suffers
less loss than in any other method OF
handling. An excellent storehouse Ia
provided for clover In those seasons
when weather conditions are such that
1t is impossible to cure 1t as hay. Used
as storehouse for summer pasture sup.
plements, proves more economical than
soiling system.
The round silo is preferable to all
others for the following reasons: II
requires less lumber; is filled more read.
lily than any other; the silage packs bet.
ter; the round silo will hold more silage
per cubic foot than one of other form OF
construction.
Any of these materials may be used In
construction: Concrete, stone, hollow
tile, brick or wood. The first three
mentioned are the most durable, also
the most expensive. Wood is very much
lower in cost and If properly used In,
sures 10 to 20 ,years' service. For the
farmer who has timber lot wood silo
may be constructed at very low initial
cost. Pine, spruce, fir or hemlock may
be used, the preference being in the
order mentioned.
Iron or steel may be used for the hoops
and cross.rods. The latter material IL
generally cheaper. The most practical
method in purchasing 10 to order the
straight rods, of the desired length, IL
ft. 10 in, for 10 foot silo. They are
fitted to the desired shape by running
through tire bender or over large
wagon wheel.
A hole 10 exoavated two feet larger
than the diameter of the silo. A 10 foot
diameter means the inside measurement
This excavation may be walled similar
to building we'll, standing the silo or
top of the wall. This wall should be Il
to II inches In thickness. Another
method is to I'll the excavation with
loose gravel and stone, level with the
surface of the ground, covering the tol
with six or eight inches Of cement, plac
ing the bottom OF the silo on top OF the
cement.
There would doubtless be more silos
on the farms of Mains,- II the cost was
not considered prohibitive. There ID

cannot be considered prohibItive in cost

Crave Our Gift Of Aneodots.

Some time ago 1t was less unusual
than it is now for one person to abb
sorb the conversation with pleasure to
himself and others. Anecdote Is out OF
fashion here Tin England), but appar-
emily it remains popular In America.
Very often lately we have heard the
conversation Of prominent Americans,
from the president downward, admired
for the color and richness lent to 1t by
witty anecdote and analogy. Perhaps
they will revive the fashion in the old
country.
Humorous anecdote has a double
value. A hearer in one place quail
fles himself to become q speaker In
another. Also there Is no doubt that
each man in a company united by
laughter laughs more heartily than
any man can laugh alone.-From the

Butterfat Variations In Cream.
IL. II. Dorsey, Assistant Professor Of Animal
Industry

II
Il. II. Dorsey, Assistant Professor Of Animal
Industry
1t quite often happens in selling cream
on butterfat basis that the producer ID
not satisfied with the test with which
he 10 credited. The underlying causes
in cream test variations may relate to:
Method of separation, gravity or centrif-
uga'; test OF milk separated; tempera-
ture of the milk; rate Of inflow of milk ;
speed of separator; amount OF water or
.kimmed milk used to flush the sepa-
rator bowl; smoothness of running;
cleanliness Of bowl.
Cream skimmad from milk by means
of the gravity method OF separation,
where shallow pans or shotgun cans are
used, may vary from day to day In test
due chiefly to temperature variations
Cream from the hand separator will
show less variation In butterfst content
than gravity cream, provided each run is
made under the same conditions.
Cream from the hand separator will
vary in test, either increasing or decreas-
ing, according to the increase or decrease
OF percent fat In the milk separated. The
amount of cream is not affected but re-
mains the same II the same amount OF
milk is separated each time.
Milk should be separated at Q temper
ature of $50 to 900 F. If separated under
$50 r. q higher testing cream will be OBJ
tanned than at the proper temperature
aud the amount will be less.
If the milk is allowed to flow into the
separator faster than normal rate lower
testing cream will result than for the
normal inflow and the amount will be
greater. II the speed of the separator is
increased above the normal rate higher
testing cream will result while the
amount of the cream will be less.
II no care is exercised In flushing the
separator bowl at the end OF run
greater or less amounts Of water or
skinned milk may be run into the cream,
causing It to be diluted and the test de-
creased.
If tho separator is not evenly balanced
vibration occurs, which will cause
lower testing cream to be separated, due
to more skinned milk being mixed With
It,
II the separator bowl is not thoroughly
cleaned after being used the result will
be much the same az when cream is sep
srated from milk at too low tempera-
ture, namely, cream higher in fat but
less In quantity than from clean bowl.
From the preceding explanation 1t can
readily be seen that quite q few condi-
tions may cause cream to vary in test
from one day to the next; and that
number of consecutively occurring con-
ditions which produce lowered fat test
will contribute toward q lower fat test
from the creamery, than that to which
the patron may think he is entitled. If,
when cream is separated from milk by
means of the centrifugal cream sepa-
rator, all operating rules are carefully
followed, the only thing which will cause
the test to vary from time to time is the
test of the milk separated, and even the
from this cause will be within
rather small limit.
