The new process of sterilizing milk
developed by Prof. j. Martin Beattle
of the University of Liverpool is
claimed to kill all bacteria without
the alteration of taste produced by
pasteurization. An electric current IS
passed quickly by special apparatus,
raising the temperature of the milk
not higher than 14S degrees Fahren-

What Part of Your Milk Check Rep

required to pay production costs (feed,
1910 pounds of milk; labor, SO6
pounds of milk; and other costs $40
pounds of milky only 960 pounds of
milk remained for the profit and skill
of the owner. For the Aigh-produc-
ing group, however, 1904 pounds of
milk remained after the following de-
auctions had been made: For feed,
2,3O2 pounds of milk; labor, S06
pounds of milk, and other costs 962
pounds of milk.
Here, then, were COWS in the same
locality, in some cases standing side by
side, and all requiring about the same
labor: vet some were producing three
times as much profit as others, even
though they were charged with great
er quantities of feed and a large
amount of "other costs"
The figures adduced are significant
also in that they show that in milk
checks size is not always true meas
ure of real value, but that the per
cent of profit, as determined by the
COWS lDdl are hept, pay an iihpoi
tant part.
The figures upon which this compar-
ison is based were actual records or
production; feed, labor, and other
costs were obtained by monthly full
day visits on each of the farms for a
period of two years. Careful rec
ords were made on these visits OF the
daily milk production of each COW,
feed consumed, labor required, over
head costs, etc. Using these data,
the requirements for producing lOO
pounds of milk were worked out. so
far as possible the requirements were
determined in terms of pounds of feed,
hours of labor. ETC., so that constantly
huctuating prices would have no eff
feet on the value of the figures. Re-
suits may be interpreted at any time
bysusing prevailing prices.
The requirements for producing lOo
pounds of milk, based on SAT COWS,
with an average annual production or
$3.50 pounds of 80 per cent milk, were

Gems Found in "Goedes," Which Is

Stones for P0eterity.

The northwestern part of Uruguay
is newly discovered field for the pro
dUction of amethysts, which occur in
"geodes." The goodies, so plentiful
that they are picked up in the fields,
are carried on mule-back or in carts
to the nearest railway station and
shipped in barrels to Salto whence
they are transported by river boat to
Montevideo.
Naturally, it will be asked, What is
a geode? Originally, it was hole in
rock. Water percOlating through the
rock deposited silica, making a lining
for the cavity. The lining grew thick
er and thicker, and after long time,
if the rock were broken or "weath-
cred" to pieces, a hard nodule would
drop out. The nodule is a geode;
and if, as sometimes happens, the
silica has formed crystals inside of

Of cloud burst prevent food.
1.-THE first thing to consider In the
construction of roads is the founda-
tion. Most roads have no artificial
foundation, so the surface is drained
we'll and rolling and beating are used
where embankments are formed.
THE great question is whether or
not road should have foundation
or rough pavement below the broken
stone. This is the main difference
between the two great rival systems
of Telford and Macadam.
"Telford believed in a rigid and
unyielding foundation and ,Macadam
preferred a yielding and soft one.
Much work on the roads can be
accomplished by the three ton trucks
sent out from the United States gov
ernment. Each truck is equipped
with hoist which permits of dump
ing the gravel out gradually while
the truck is in motion, thus spread
ing it over the surface of the road.
Where heavy trucks are used the
roads are often paved. These trucks
travel all over the United States and
good, substantial roads are necessary.
! The trucks were used in time of war
| for transportation of troops and am
munition now the trucks are used
for transportation of merchandise.
Where there are no railroads these
trucks bring all the necessities and
! comforts of life to thes mall towns
and even to the eindividual home.
Good roads help nation greatly
in time of war, as was illustrated by
| this last war. The roads in France
were kept in good condition and this

revenue purposes. ...

1922. ."
The state tax rate of 1921, based
wholly on statutory requirements, and
over which the state auditor has no
control whatever, is 4.23 mills, as
against 81 mills, the figure in 1919
and SAP mills the rate for 1920
Practically it is cut of nearly one
half the 1919 levy. Further it is
the lowest state tax levy in recent
years.
To what extent the taxpayers of
Minnesota will profit from the tenn
general revenue purposes as an
nounced by Mr.. Chase can be best
judged from the fact that the inf1ic-
ton Of the revenue tax realized the
state $4,0S6,535.68 in 1917, $1,781,-
991.14 in 1918, $6,236,907.60 in 1919
and $1,667, ,419.42 in 1920. The tax
is for the general running expenses
of the state and it's various depart
ments such as, penal charitable and
education institutions, special aid to
the public schools and other state
activities. Out of the revenue deriv-
ed from this tax is paid salaries,
bills for supplies and the numerous
expenses necessary in the proper
conduct and maintenance Of the
state government.
Rate Of Taxation.

purposes and which as stated are
