TESTS DETECT REMADE MILK
vised That Natural Product Be
Distinguished.

Ct Agriculture
The increased use of remade milk
and cream-that is, milk and cream
made from powdered or condensed
milk and sweet-cream butter-has
made necessary some method by which
they may be distinguished from the
natural products. Such a test has been
devised by chemists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, and
1t is now possible to detect as little as
10 per cent of remade milk in a mix
ture with natural pasteurized milk. If
milk powder has been used in making
the mixture, the amount that can be
detected will depend on the degree Of
heat used in its manufacture.
The test for both milk and cream Is
based upon the color produced when
the washed curd made from them is
dissolved in sodium hydroxide. When
this curd solution has stood for sew
eral hours a characteristic yellow
color develops In the samples taken
from remade milk and cream or mix
lures containing them ; samples Of the
natural products Or only slight mix
lures do not show 1t.
Remade milk and cream are whole
some foods IL made properly from
good, natural milk. but should be sold
for what they are, and this test makes
1t possible for food officials to deter
mine whether or not the consumer ia
being deceived. -

DEMAND IS FOR WHITE EGGS
An Exceptionally Keen Sense Of Taste
Would Bs Required to Note
Any Difference.

1t would take an exceptionally keen
sense Of taste to distinguish any DIFF
ference between white and brown eggs
at breakfast, but human beings are
such faddists that, in the opinion Of
some, the difference is there just the
same. In New York the demand is
for white shells, while in Boston the
brown egg is just as popular.
'Some men will have only Dutch
Belted cattle or Hampshire hogs"
said n Of the poultry specialists In
the Department Of Agriculture. "They
are color enthusiasts. The liking for
white-shelled eggs may have grown
from associating the egg with the
white poultry, an agreeable picture
suggesting cleanliness. Actually, how
Y the brown-shell egg is every bit
as good as the white until you arrive
at the price in New York. The differ
ence there sometimes Is considerably
In favor Of the white" !
I At present all the general purpose
breeds Of chickens are layers of
brown eggs. Some Of the leading mar
kets demand the white egg, however,
and as the price favors the white
product it is important to supply 1t II

Ratchet. There is a certain strength,
toughness and elasticity to hickory
which nature has denied to other COM
mercial woods. Some are stronger,
many are harder, but the rare combi-
nation of the qualities mentioned is
lacking In all Of them.
The raw material for handles in the
form of short log bolts is sometimes
split into handle blanks in the woods,
but the usual practice Is to rip-saw the
bolts into blanks at the factory. The
split-handle blank is considered supe-
rior to the sawed blank in that it in
sures a straightforward handle. On the
other hand, sawed blanks, though they
are likely to show more cross grain,
are more economical in the use of
timber.
Hickory, due to its unrivaled proper.
ties Of great strength, elasticity, and
resiliency, is used exclusively in the
manufacture of handles Of golf clubs.
The constantly increasing popularity
Of this sport has placed another de
mand on the hickory supply.

MARKET SEASON FOR GUINEAS
Latter Part Of Summer and Through
out Fall Is Best Time to Dis
pose Of Fowls.

The marketing season for guinea
fowl is during the latter part of sum-
mer, and throughout the fall. At this
time the demand in the city market
is for young birds weighing from one
to two pounds each. At about PA
months old guineas weigh from one
to IN pounds, and at this size, they
begin reaching the markets in Au'
gust. AS the season advances the de-
mand Is for heavier birds.
The usual practice in marketing
game birds is to place them on the
market unplucked, and in most mar
kets guineas are sold this way. They
appear mor attractive with feathers
on, and sell more readily. Dressed,
the small size and dark color of the
skin are likely to prejudice the pros

sheets and q milk tester. The milk
from each COW is weighed after each
milking and recorded on the record
sheets. For the testing, certain days
In each month car be selected to make
tests of the value of the milk given
by each cow. The total pounds Of milk
produced by the cow during the month
multiplied by the percentage of butter
fat found in the test will give the
number Of pounds Of butter-fat pro-
duced during the month.
Tested herds are of greater value
| than the mixed herd that Is merely
MIXED and fed twice a day and no re-
cord kept Of the performance Of each

Boosters for COW testing associations
have suggested the following rules
which have made dairying a success:
First, eliminate the improbable
cows.
Secodn, raise the average production
Of the herd.
Third, practice liberal feeding of q
good grain ration.
Fourth, buy the winter feed supply
comparatively.
Fifth, learn the value Of the herd
sire through the production of his
daughters.
Sixth, help in selection Of heifers for
future herds.
! Seventh, increase the valuation OF
the herd.
Eighth, study the records in the herd
record book.
Ninth, develop the knowledge OF
what each animal is doing, and develop
personal pride and interest in the herd
Tenth, locate the persistent mixers
and from such cows choose the future

called.
Partly through a desire to conform
to the wishes Of the shippers and part
~ because Of failure to have the
basket forms inspected frequently,
containers far short Of the standard
were being made. Short
measur till baskets for fruits and
vegetables are frequently the result
Of careless handling Of the forms
used in manufacturing the containers,
the department points out. Dropping
the forms on the floor Or otherwise
m%ishandling them can easily knock
them out of shape.
Forms and containers of numerous
basket manufacturers In the United

sible by the department, and the ex-
p~erience has been that the manufac-
turers are ready to correct any defects
In a desire to turn out baskets Of

cannot get around to all manufacture

to have their forms frequently inspect

SERVIcEABLE BREEDING RACK
Useful Device When Bull Becomes
Heavy Is Not Difficult to Build
Must Be Braced.

A bull that Is a good individual and
that has excellent breeding back of
him should be kept in service at least
until his daughters come in milk. If
he transmits his breeding to his
daughters he should be kept in service
until he Is NJ longer useful. To fol-
low this plan it is necessary to ex-
change bulls with other breeders and
in most cases it will be necessary to
use a breeding rack after the bull be-
comes too heavy. 1t is too often the
case that the breeding value of a good
bull is not discovered until he is dead.
A very serviceable breeding rack
can be made as follows: Take two
planks 2 by II by 8 feet long and
place them on a level foundation for
the floor of the breeding rack. These
planks should be placed one and one

rant trade, however, guineas should
be dressed in the same way as COM

fore shipping, whether he wants the

If the feathers are to be left on
the birds all that Is necessary in pre-
pairing for market is to bleed them
by severing the principal blood e S
sells of the neck, allowing them to
hang head downward until bleeding
is complete.
If the feathers are to be removed
it should be done by dry picking. When

WINTER WHEAT IN N. D.

The low yields Of spring wheat In
North Dakota during the last 10 years
have been an important factor in the
immense increase in the winter rye
crop during the same period within the
state, says L. r. Waldron, plant
breeder at the experiment station.
Winter rye has been grown in prefer
greater hardness. The present winter
rye acreage would be changed In large
measure to a winter wheat acreage
could a variety be found sufficiently
hardy and at the same time of good
technical value. Winter rye is a safe
and successful crop for North Dakota.
Winter wheat is less hardy but it &C.
casionally succeeds. Success in winter
wheat depends (1) upon the mildness,
Or severity, Of the winter, (2) upon the
conditions under which it is s0wn, and
81 upon the variety used.
The climate Of North Dakota is not
changing, and the occurrence of, one or
even two mild winters should not lead
us to change our crops without good
reason. The varities of winter wheat
heretofore tried in North Dakota have
not been of sufficient hardness to be
successful under ordinary methods Of
culture. When the growing crop Is
given sufficient protection in the fall
| to insure its living through the winter.
| the high cost of such perfection gener-
ally makes the crop Improbable. Win
ter wheat stumbled in" may live
through and, make a crop when the
same wheat on clean land would kill.
Continued 'subbling in" Of a crop Is
not good farming and cannot be recon-
mended.4 This method, used occasion
ally under proper conditions, is sug-
gested IS likely to produce q crop Of
| winter wheat and at a minimum cost
Experiments and farm practices of
the past have shown that future sue
cess with winter wheat in North Da-
kota depends upon securing a variety
harder than any grown in the state.
There are new varieties, not yet gem
orally ayailabel, which promise some
thing for the future. Those interested
In winter wheat should write to the
experiment station, Agricultural col
lege, for BulleIn 151 on winter wheat.

OF THE SPEED LAW

Evidently the village council has
decided that drivers of automobiles
in Mountain Home have been edging
along too rapidly for the good of tho
community, so the latter part of last
week and the first of this week the
local minions of the law have geen
gathering unto themselves divers
prisoners charged with speeding and
other violations of the city's traffic
ordinance.
The state law provides that the
speed of autos on the highways shall
not exceed thirty miles per hour; in
the cities twenty miles per hour, ex-
cept at intersections and passing
school houses, when the speed must
not exceed twelve miles per hour.
The city ordinance by virtue of
which the arrests were made has
substantially the same provisions.
Those arrested, so far as reported
to The Republican, and the DISPOSE
tion of their cases, follows:
G. K. Bell, speeding; fined $25 and
costs by Justice d. A. Utter.
Victor Aguirre, speeding; fined
$25 and costs by Justice Utter.
Joe Urquida, speeding; $25 and
costs.
(The fines in the above three cases
were paid.)
