The Alcohol Milk Test

The alcohol milk test, used to some extent in Europe and believed by some investigators to be a quick means of testing the condition and keeping quality of milk, is not a satisfactory substitute for bacterial examination, according to bacteriologists Of the department of agriculture, Thealcohol test Is based on the fact that when equal parts of 68 per cent alcohol and milk are mixed and tne shaken gently in test tube, a flaky, white precipitate will form under certain conditions. The occurrence of this precipitate is held, by those who believe in the test, to indicate that changes have been produced in mixed market milk as a result of bacterial fermentation. The depart; mentis investigators who have reported on the results of this test, in Bulletin 202, “The Alcohol Test in Relation to Milk,” however, find that alcohol will produce this precipitate when the mixed market milk contains a certain amount of lactic acid or rennet produced by varieties of bacteria which form these substances. As a consequence, milk may be high in bacteria of other varieties without showing the precipitate when alcohol is added. Moreover, it has been discovered that even with lactic-acid or ren-net-forming organisms present in the milk, the precipitate does not show until these organisms have produced a considerable substances which seem to cause the reaction with alcohol. In the case of mixed market milk, which frequently contains many varieties of bacteria other than the lac-tic-acid or rennet-forming kinds, the alcohol test may be negative when the bacteria examination shows a high count. —? —— ——ZZZ . On the other hand, in the case of milk from a single cow, the investigation apparently establishes the fact that a positive reaction in a 68 per cent alcohol test indicates that the milk is abnormal. Even here, however, the value of the alcohol test with milk from a single cow, or a small herd, lies principally in the fact that it will show when the milk is abnormal and will give warning that a careful examination of the herd should be made. It also might indicate the need for improvement in the method of handling and chilling the milk, with the object of checking the growth of milk-souring organisms.

Kerosine Emulsion. Lice and mites are the bane of the poultryman, and he must keep up a continuous fight if he would hold them down. It is not so much an impossible task. The secret lies in being always prepared with effective materials, and in applying the remedy at regular intervals, frequent enough to keep the pests from multiplying over and over again. One of the best means of fighting vermin is the use of kerosine emulsion applied with a force spray pump. It is especially effective for mites, the worst of the two peste and hardest to exterminate. To make the emulkerosine in the proportion of two gallons to one-half pound of whale soap, one quart of homemade soft soap, and one gallon of water, are mixed. The soap is dissolved by boiling the water, and while hot the kesosine. is-mixed in it. This mixture is then stirred or churned rapidly until it becomes weU mixed and smooth, as in beating cream. The mixture is then diluted with water, three to five times, before being applied. r A bucket spray pump such as is used by gardeners is just the thing to apply this spray, as it can then be forced into every crack and crevice in the poultry house. This job of spraying should be ifiost carefully done, for if just a few mites or lice ar,e missed there will be enough to have the house infested again just as badly as before, in a very brief time. A little carbolic acid mixed with the spray before applying will make it more effective.

Healing Lotions. —------ Some excellent healing lotions can easily be made at home and at almost no expense. An excellent lotion for sores of any kind, especially old obdurate sores, is made with the white of one egg beaten to stiff froth and then mixed thoroughly with one teaspoonful each of vinegar, honey and whisky and a lump each of salt, alum and bluestone about the size of a small pea. For inflammatory rheumatism, dissolve one ounce of pulverized saltpetre in a pint of sweet oil and thoroughly rub the parts affected. For neuralgia, sciatica or common rheumatism, take a large Irish potato and boil it in one quart of water. Bathe the affected part at night before going to bed, with the water in which the potato has been boiled, as hot as can be borne, then crush the potato and use as a poultice. In the morning heat the potato water over again and use as hot as can be borne. Continue this treatment for two or three days, or until relived. It is more satisfactory to go and turn .something up than it is to sit down and w all for it to turntipbfits own accord. Before congratulating yourself when you come out on top, bear in mind that the froth on a glass of beer does the fame. .

Rumor Says Benton Farmer Lost $260,000 On Wheat.

We have not been informed as to the profit and loss account of Mr. James Lowman’s trades upon the Chicago market lately. The last story was that when wheat was at $1.35 he had from 1,000,000 to 2,500,000 bushels of wheat. The price for a few days has been around $1.09. If he had kept even a million until now the loss would have been $260,000—a tidy sum for a Benton county farmer. When Joe Leiter went into the wheat market 18 years ago there was plenty of times that he had a .paper , profit of millions, but it cost his family many millions to help him let go. They loaded all the cash grain in the country onto him, and manipulated the railroads and steamship lines to keep him from selling any of it. It - was with great glee that old man Armour and his pals and pirates went after young Leiter to skin him of his millions. No bunch of bandits ever made as complete or successful plans to hold up an express car as those who were after Leiter’s scalp—and got it. Paper profits of board of trade and real estate are two different things.
