USE OF ALCOHOL WITH TEST
Method of Reading Fat Cream Been
In Use at Wisconsin Dairy
School for Some Time.
The suggestion has recently been
made by Dr. Babcock that the solvent
action of alcohol on fat can be over
come by first adding to alcohol all the
fat it will dissolve and then pouring a
small quantity of this fat-saturated,
alcohol on the top of the fat column
In the test bottle. This method of
reading the fat cream testing has
been in use for some time at the
Wisconsin Dairy school with very
satisfactory results. The top and the
bottom of the fat column appear as
nearly straight lines, giving two exact
points between which fat can be
measured.

fat-saturated alcohol. Bottle No. 1
shows the top meniscus of the fat
which occupies a space between A
and of nearly one per cent, on theTYING
scale. The test of this cream could
be read to 19.0, 19.5 20.0, depending
on the selection of A, B, or as the
point to which the fat is read.
Bottle No. 2 shows the appearance
of the top of fat column after the fat
saturated alcohol has been added.
The alcohol (D) makes a nearly two

1 per cent.
SIX CAUSES OF POOR BUTTER
Include Improper Handling of Cows,
Wrong Feed, Sanitation and
Lack of Training.
The following are some of the
causes for poor quality of butter:
1. Some of the creamery managers
do not instruct their patrons as to the
proper handling of their cows and the
milk and cream.
2. Garlic and wild onions are re
ported to be causes in the spring and
fall of the year.
3. There is a lack of proper sanita-1
tion on the average dairy farm, the
most deficient points of which are
lack of proper light, ventilation and
cleanliness of dairy barns, milking un
clean, udders with unclean hands, use
of unsterile dairy utensils and im-and
proper cooling of milk.
4. There is a lack of technical train
ing in dairy lines among butter mak
ers, which would enable them to prop
erly grade the milk as it is received
at the creamery, pasteurize it, make
good starter, properly ripen cream,
control their overrun and instruct
their patrons in methods of producing
sanitary milk and cream.
6. The majority of creamery men are
engaged in other occupations and de
vote only a part of their time to the
creamery business.
6. The majority of creamery patrons
are engaged in diversified farming,
and dairying is only a side line with
them.
Comfort fpr Cows.
Cows that are given the most com
fort with feed and shelter are the ones
that produce the greatest profit. The
cow naturally likes to lie down for
rest while she is chewing her cud.
She will lie down in her stall, whether
it is clean and comfortable or not.
Plenty of good bedding will make it
comfortable and help to keep it clean.
Arrange now to have enough good
bedding for the cows to last all win
ter. It is not only good for the cows,
but it absorbs rich liquids and is one
of the greatest means of making the
farm fertile and highly productive.
Sanitation in Dairy.
Good sanitation is more and more
coming Into practice in modern dairy
ing. Build a saniuiry nam, you can,
and, if you cannot, then remodel the
cow stalls and make them as comfort
able and sanitary as possible. Floors
at can be kept dry and clean an
walls and ceilings that do not catch
dirt or are easily cleaned, and plentj
of light and ventilation are essential!
for good dairy stable sanitation. The
work may be done a little at time.
SUTTER FREE FROM STREAKS
How to Prevent This Annoyance,
Sometimes Embarrassing to
Dairymen—Water Important.
(J. H. VINCENT.)
To prevent the streaks in butter,
which are so annoying to dairymen
who sometimes experience this trou
ble, the butter should be taken from
First Prize Holstein Calf.
the churn when it is in the form of
small grains not larger than buck
wheat kernels.
The buttermilk should then be
strained off and clear water, fresh and
cold, poured on the product through
a strainer until the water runs quite
clear of buttermilk.
Then put the butter in a bowl or
worker and spread it, sufficiently thin
so that fine pure salt may be sprinkled
evenly over it.
Turn in the edges and press the but
ter without drawing the ladle over it,
but simply pressing it to get out thetable
surplus water, and cut it in pieces
with the edge of the ladle.
Pour off whatever water runs from
it, then cover with a clean cloth and
set it away in a cool, dark place. ID
a few hours the salt will dissolve, the
surplus brine drains off, and the salt
becomes absorbed all through it.
When this stage has been reached,
work it over by pressure only until it
is as dry as can be made, then mold
it into rolls or cakes, or pack it into
pails or tubs.
In the latter case press the butter
in solidly and pour over it a little wa
ter, which then pour off and sprinkle
a little salt over it.
Exposure to light when the butter is
set away to drain after salting is one
cause of streaks in butter. Also lime
in hard water which is used in wash
ing the butter, or impurities in cheap
salt are well-known agents in bleach
ing butter.
COWS FOR DEHORNING
Little Danger of Injury to Animal
Method Shown in Illustration
Is Followed.
A very satisfactory way to fasten
the cow while her horns are being re
moved is illustrated in the accom
panying drawing. Tie a stout rope
about her neck, run it between her
horn and around the timber to which
If
Removes Danger in Dehorning.
she is tied, then back under her-necl
up between her horns on the othei
side, then over the timber again and
take a hitch around her nose. With an
assistant to hold the end of the rope
one can saw off the horns without in
jury of the cow hanging herself to the
beam. If she falls to the ground the
assistant can loosen the rope and
there will be no danger of choking.
DAIRY NOTES.
Cowpeas come next to alfalfa as a
dairy ration.
It's always better to have the sepa
rator too big for the job.
The pure food law only allows 16
per cent, moisture in butter.
You are losing money if the milk
sours before all the cream rises.
The man who can keep his cows up
to the mark is a born dairyman.
Dairy cows sell for more than corn
fed steers and cost much less to raise.
It used to be said the miller had the
best hogs. Nowadays it's the dairy
man.
Five per cent, salt Is enough for but
ter. Most markets are better satisfied
with less.
Western dairymen are about agreed
that the fresh fall cow Is the most
profitable.
The cow that fails in her milk this
month will not gain it until she Is
fresh again.
Put up 25 per cent, more feed this
fair than you think you can use—then'
you'll have enough.
Never feed a young calf cold aiilk.
The milk must be sweet and warm as
the mother's milk. Don't feed too
much at one time.
The price received for butter is not
obtained entirely by its flavor, but by
the skill of the maker in churning, salt
ing, working and packing for market.
In .purchasing a dairy cow three
things should be borne in mind, viz.:
Capacity, constitution and milk strains,
such as good udder, mlllr veins, etc:
Eating for Strength.
NO PLACE FOR A PAINTER.
'If
The greatest pleasure to be de
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food is
giving him greater strength and vi
tality.
Because of this fact there is a con
stant increase in the consumption of
Quaker Oats every time the strength
making qualities of Quaker Oats have
been tested by scientific investigation
or by experiments in families it has
been found to be a food without an
equal.
It builds the muscles and brain with
out taxing the digestive organs it
costs so little anyone can afford it,
and it is so carefully prepared and
packed that it is absolutely pure and
clean. A Quaker Oats eating family
is always a healthy family. 11
Quaker Oats is packed in regular
size packages and also in large size
family packages. The latter very con
venient for those not near the store.

Worth the Expense.
The story that Sir John Fisher of
the British admiralty tells with the
greatest enjoyment—and he tells many,
and all with zest—is of an old boat
swain on his flagship who fell into a
little money and retired. One day
the admiral visited him at his coun
try box, to find the old sailor pos
sessed of an apparently useless man
servant.
"What do you want with him?"
asked Fisher.
"H'every morning," explained the
old sailor, 'e comes to me 'hammock
and tells me to roll h'out. 'The h'ad
miral wants to see you,' 'e says to me.
H'and I says to 'im, "Tell the h'admiral
to go to 'ell,' says Hi."
RECIPE FOR CATARRH.
Furnished by High Medical Authority.
Gives Prompt Results.
The only logical treatment for ca
tarrh is through the blood. A pre
scription which has recently proved
wonderfully effective in hospital work
Is the following. It is easily mixed.
"One ounce compound syrup of
Sarsaparilla one ounce Toris com
pound half pint first-class whiskey."
These to be mixed by shaking well in
a bottle, and used In tablespoon doses
before each meal and at bedtime.
The incredients can be gotten from
any well stocked druggist, or he will
get them from his wholesale house.
Had an Object Lesson.
The happy mother of a seven
months-old-baby, whose chief business
seems to be making a noise in the
world, was paying her sister a visit,
and the other evening young Master
Harry, aged seven years, was dele
gated to care for the baby while his
elders were at dinner. So he wheeled
it back and forth, the length of the
library, giving vent to his sentiments
by singing, much to the amusement of
the family:
