downfall 'v06 imminent, and he knew
that he had not enough friends for tho

Now when it was too late, when, with-

completely in tone.

of the atone seat, and linking it with the
other by clasping his two hands together,

How to Prevent Mold in Butter.
The important losses in butter
through the growth of mold upon
the tub lining, wrapper, or in the
butter itself, which injures the
saleability of the produce, have led
experts to investigate this subject.
Mold in butter is usually found in
three forms: (1) Orange -yellow
areas with some growth of myce-
lium under the . surface. (2)
Smudge or dirty green areas,
either entirely inside the 'butter or
with some surface growth. . (3)
Green -surface colonies, either upon
the butter, causing decomposition,
or upon the container or wrappings
whioh will injure the appearance of
the butter.
Experiments in producing molds
artificially in samples, of butter in-
dicate that a growth of mold in or
about butter is favored by exces-
sive curd, by "leaky" butter, or by
wet surfaces, wet wrappings or
highly moist air. If butter molds
readily, it is an indication of in-
sufficient salting, as salt up to 2.5
to 3 per cent. is sufficient to pre-
vent mold or reduce it to a negli-
gible amount. The growth of molds;
moreover, is largely reduced by
keeping the butter at low tempera-
tures. Improper storage tempera-
tures, accompanied as they ire-
quently are with moist conditions,
are favorable to mold in butter.
Unsalted 'butter is more subject to
deterioration from microorganisms
than salted butter. Successful
storage of such butter is therefore
dependent upon scrupulously
clean, dry refrigeration. Cellars
and ice refrigeration rarely furnish
conditions which will prevent mold
in unsalted or slightly salted but-
ter, although it may be delayed or
reduced. Butter properly made
and normally salted (up to 2.5 to
3 per cent., equivalent to the use
of a 12 to 15 per cent. brine)., will
not show -mold under reasonably
careful handling,
Investigators in summarizing re-
sults emphasize the fact that well -
washed butter is less subject to
mold than that with an excess of
curd, bub the essential factor in
molding seems to be water, not
protein.
"Leaky" , butter from which
milky water exudes and collects in
the wrapper or container furnishes
the best conditions for the begin-
ning of mold growth. From these
wet areas colonies may spread to
the butter itself.
Mold, the investigators find, will
not grow upon the surface of a
piece of butter exposed to air at
ordinary humidities. The water in
the 'butter is not suffioiently avail-
able to the mold to support the de-
velopment of a colony unless evap-
oration is reduced by a high -mois-
ture content of the surrounding
air. In closed packages, web or
damp Cellars, or carelessly packed
masses with cracks or fissures in
which moisture collects, mold may
seriously injure the appearance of
the packages or acually induce
great ohanges in the butter itself.
Green molds may damage nor-
mally salted :butter if cracks and
open spaces are left by bad pack-
ing. Other investigators have
found that paraffining the tubs or
boxes prevents mold on the con-
tainer and the liner by preventing
the escape of water which would
not leave the air space necessary
for mold growth.
Very moderate .salting prevents
the appearance of the orange -yel-
low patches and the smudges. The
green molds affect normally salted
butter only when it is held under
conditions of temperature or moist-
ure that are favorable to mold
growth,
Alfalfa Hay for Hogs.
A trial in feeding hogs on alfalfa
hay was carried on at the North
Dakota Experiment Station by W.
H. Peters, Animal Husbandman.
The alfalfa hay was out into half-
inch lengths and was fed 'both dry
and steamed. The 'hogs were also
fed a grain ration of barley shorts
and tankage. One lot was fed only
the grain feed, while with other
lots the grain ration was reduced
and alfalfa supplied in its place,

the aim being to make the alfalfa:
fed hogs to gain as much as the all -
grain lot. With young pigs the
saving in cost duo to the alfalfa
was 506 per 100 pounds ,gain on the
d'r'y alfalfa, and 40o when the alfal-
fa was steamed. With the fatten-
ing hogs, the saving was $1,70 per
100 pounds gain for lot fed the dry
alfalfa, and $2.70 when the alfalfa
was steamed.
Brood sows were also fed alfalfa
bay. When the alfalfa was fed the
grain ration (ibariley end oats)
could be reduced one-third to one-
fourth, and the sows did well on
it. No difference was noticeable
between their litters and those
Eroan "the sows fed all grain.
The growing pigs were fed one-
fifth to one-sixth as much alfalfa
as grain, this 'being the amount
that they would readily eat and
keep making as good gains as the
all -grain tot.
Of the dry alfalfa the Battening
hogs eat one-sevenh as much as of
grain ration, and of the (steamed al-
falfa one-sixth as much. The hogs
did not eat as large a proportion of
the alfalfa as was expected. It,
however, reduced the cost of mak-
ing'the gains so that it was well
worth while. The price put on the
feeds was one cent per pound for
the grains, two cents for tankage,
and the alfalfa $10 per ton.
The observations of the trial in-
dicate: First, that in order to get
hogs started to eating alfalfa hay
in winter it is necessary to limit
the grain to such an extent that
the hogs must eat bay or go hun-
gry. Second, that, when handled
in this way, they will very readily
take to the hay, and a limited
amount of hay can be fed very eat-
isfactorily, securing just as gogd
results, just as good gains, and at
less cost than where grain alone is
fed. Third, that the greatest ad-
vantage to be gained in feeding
hay in the winter is the saving of
grain. and lowering of the cost of
feeding.
