NOTRE DAME P. 0.. INDIANA. Remember the na when you buy again wmmmmmm Fresh vs. Stripper Cow Butter. F. L. Kent, in Oregon Experiment Station Bulletin: It is a well known i'act that as the period of lactation ad vances the fat globules become small er and the milk becomes more viscous. It would naturally be supposed that both churning and creaming would be more difficult with milk from cows well along in the period of lactation than from those comparatively fresh. It is also frequently claimed that the butter from fresh cows is of consider ably better quality than that from cows well advanced in the period of lactation. To determine as much as possible in a short experiment, the effect due to an advanced period of lac tation the following experiment was carried out, the points above mention ed being kept in view. In this ca§e a cow which had been in milk more than eight months was considered a strip per. The records indicated that there were four such cows in the college herd, the most advanced period being 308 days, and the average of the four cows being 283 days. Accordingly the mine from these four cows was kept by itself and considered "stripper" milk. The remainder of the herd, elev en in number, had been in milk less than six months, the average time for the eieven cows being 121 days. The milk from these was considered as "fresh" cows milk. As soon as the milking was finished the milk was taken to the dairy build ing. The night's milk was allowed to stand until morning, when the cream was removed by the centrifugal separa tor, and mixed with the cream from the morning's milk. The cream from the stripper's milk was set aside in an ordinary "shot gun" can. After the fresh cow's milk was separated the cream was well stirred and a quantity equal to the stripper cream placed in another shot gun can and set beside the can containing the stripper cream. This was done to get the same degree of ripeness in each lot of cream. The churning was done in a five gallon barrel churn. In each case there was slightly more butter fat left in the skim milk from the strippers than in the milk from the fresh cows. Possibly if the cream had been raised by the gravity system the difference would have been considerably greater. The time required for churning was a surprise to the writer. It was ex pected that the cream from the fresh cows would churn somewhat quicker than that from the strippers, but the record shows that such was not the case. In two out of three comparisons it will be seen that the stripper butter churned the quicker of the two, the difference in time being five mioutes. In the other case the fresh cow butter churned in seven minutes less time than the stripper. The butter was molded into two-pound rolls and a roll from each lot set aside for ten days from the date of the first' churning, when the whole was examined for fla vor and grain. The' examination was made by Mr. Geo. Harding, who had been in the butter business as a com mission man for fifteen years. In mak ing the report Mr. Harding said: "I can't say that I see any difference in the grain of the several samples. In Nos. 1, 3 and 5, however, the flavor is slightly better than in the others, but the difference is so slight that it would make no difference in the selling price, not even to the amount of one-eighth of a cent per pound." Conclusion.—So far as the short ex periment goes it shows that the milk from comparatively fresh cows gives up its cream more readily even with a separator than does milk from cows well along in the period of lactation. It also shows that butter made from the milk of cows which have been in milk for a considerable period of time is slightly inferior to that made from the milk of cows which are comparatively fresh. Cultivating Corn. As soon as the corn is well up I run the roller over it same way as planted, following immediately with the har row, writes a correspondent of Mirror and Farmer. Remove the center row of teeth and straddle each row. Clods are thus crushed and the harrowing renders the soil mellow by more read ily admitting sunshine and moisture. In the first cultivating I merely aim to scratch the ground to the depth of two or three inches, using the double cultivator with feeders. I cultivate deeper the second and third times, but cultivate shallow after the corn is about waist high to avoid tearing or pruning the roots, which is detrimental in hot, dry weather. Light stirring will then suffice to keep the ground moist, mellow and clean. I always like to cul tivate after each good rain, and try to have the ground in a thorough state of cultivation before the corn begins to tassel and shoot, as it should not be disturbed thereafter. Circumstances al ter cases and the kind of season we Ml n'|iiiif«i if ii have has something to do with the ,way we manage our corn crop. Timber Raising.—Timber raising is bound to claim the attention of farm ers more in the future than it has in the past. And it is going to be quite as profitable as any other farm crop. The farmer should start his own trees if possible. Most varieties that are best to cultivate for profit may be eas ily started from seed. In Europe the waste lands that are neglected today on most of our farms would be in stantly converted into forests.—Ex. THE CONCO STATE. Ready for XouriRtH if They Dare to Venture. The report drawn up by Mr. W. C. Pickersgill, British consul at Boma on the Congo, on the condition of the Con go Independent State, which has just oeen issued by the London Foreign Of fice, is full of interest. There is also a certain amount of humor infused into it that prevents its perusal becoming tedious. Mr. Pickersgill's report ap pear» have been compiled chiefly with a view to serving as a kind of guide book to the intending tourist, who, he says, must be a well-salted ani mal or a man prepared to die. With this introduction he promises the ex cursionist who escapes dysentery and fever a journey practically without dan ger and supremely interesting. The trip to Stanley Pool from the mouth of the Conge is now much like one through any country traversed by rail, but from there on to Stanley Falls near the point where the twenty-fifth meri dian east crosses the equator, about a thousand miles further, the traveler passes through a domain of unreclaim ed savagery. Every few miles a new tribe is met with language differing from that of the one just left behind, and no common language has yet been invented or found capable of serving for a medium of intercourse between the administration and its subjects or for purposes of trade. Mr. Pickersgill believes that, with the best intentions in the world, no government will be able to bring the tribes scattered over the immense area comprised within the borders of the Congo State into a con dition of national cohesion without a certain amount of hammering. Below Stanley Pool what is known as Kixi Congo is generally understood, but ceases to be understood above that point. Above the Pool the country is cut up into a labyrinth of channels and tributaries of the main river, and the native towns and government stations that reveal themselves at distant in tervals appear more like rafts upon a deluge than parts of continent. The "Basin of the Congo" is a term accur ately describing the country. The un healthfulness of the most accessible parts of the Congo State in a permanent impediment to its progress and consol idation it seems to prey upon Euro pean 'ife. It is estimated that of every ten whites sent out as officials nine are either buried or invalided within three years, and a calculation made showed that the employes of the largest Bel gian trading company, a hundred and twenty in number, maintained an av erage service of only seven months out of two years, for which they en-: gaged. Not more than 2 per cent oi th» Europeans, including the mission aries, who go out to the Congo, possess constitutions capable of resisting the climate. With all these drawbacks the tokens of successful effort which meet the traveler are, Mr. Pickersgill says, astonishing. At the same time he seems to doubt whether the native ia much benefited. The white man can never prove his claim to sole possession by surviving as the fittest, and without native co-operation nothing can ba done. The prohibition of the traffic in liquid poisons is productive of good re sults, and the suppression of intertribal warfare within the sphere of influence of the administration has created a sense of security making for improved conditions. Cannibalism still exists, but is gradually disappearing before what is called public opinion, reinforc ed probably by the halter or the rifle. Slave trading is on the way to aboli tion and the natives are "being drilled into the habit of regular work." The administration has made some efforts to institute a system of education, and schools under the Roman Catholic mis sionaries have been opened at several points, but the language difficulty among the waifs and strays composing the pupils almost proves insuperable. The British and American Protestant missionaries prefer to devote them selves to particular districts, and make their instruction local rather than gen eral.—Ex. The Deepest Lake. The deepest lake in the world is Lake Baikal, Siberia. In some parts it is 5,261 feet deep its length is 397 miles, with an area of 15,000 square miles. It is the largest lake in Asia, and the sixth largest in the world. Sufficient Reason.
