It -was nearly 700 years later; about
100 A.D„ that Glide:of Arezzo inventhel
a mOvable bridge. After this there
was nothing especiallrnewnntil 1000
A.D., when several strings were added
to the monocliorde with keye and a de-
elee to pluck the strings.
So the early developments were
very slow. It took about 1500 years to
produce anything that resembled a
musical instrument. Further experi-
ments were made that led to thein-
ventien .of the clavicytherium. . This
instrument With the unpronounceable
name, was invented in. Italy in 1300
A.D. In shape it resembled a zither.
The strings ef different lengths were of
catgut. It had keys with a simple cle
vice that plucked the strings. .
The Clavichord.
Next came the clavichord, first built
in the fifteenth 'century. This inetru
ment had 22 etrings of brass and a
tangent fastened to the keys caused
the strings to vibrate .
At the beginning of the seven.teenth
centui•y the clavichord was greatly im-
prayed. It was the favorite lustre -
anent of the time, and was the forerun-
ner of the square piano. At tills time
the clavichord possessed. several of
the vital points of the modern piano-
.
forte, and in its later development
was used by Bach, and even by Mozart
and Beethoven. - 'In fact, Mozart's
opera, the "Magic Flute," was com-
posed on the clavichord.

that many utensils often become use-

Controlling Fermentation in

The keeping quality of butter de
pends very largelyupon the fermenta
tions that take Plaee not only during
the ripening of the cream but n the
butter afterwards. Milk and cream
are subject to many 'types of ferment-
ing agencies and if allowed to take
their natural course, develop all man-
ner a flavors in the finished product.
By -pasteurizatien the molds, yeasts
and bacteria .contained in dairy pro-
ducte are brought under control.In
order to make a study of this qiiestion
the Dairy Branch of the Departrhent
of Agriculture, during the -past sum-
mer, carried ' son 5 research, .using
samples of butter corlected from fac-
toribeein several of the prbvinces of
Canada. Many of these samples
showed almost numberless bacteria,
hundreds of molds and thousands of
yeasts to the cubic centimetre: These
came from creameries where pasteur-

the other hand, samples were received
that contained dacceeclingly small
