And remember—one of the party

After. many weeks f this sort of

little band literally stumbled upon the
hamlet of Yalung, in the Di River
Valley. Their condition was pitiable
in' the extreme. 'Wretched ,as they
found conditions to be at this primi-

name of the Chinese.
I dropped the hand holding the clip

Lao Wing Fu! Why, he, a mem-
ber of this very party, was at this
moment in Los Angeles: "boss" of
our Chinatown!! It seemed incredible
--too astounding for .belief.
I turned to the other clippings,
Pawing them over excitedly to find'

and detailed experiences.
By and by I succeeded. I learned
that in spite of all the many .obstacles

i How to Use the Babcock Test
eI The Babcock test has served as the
e necessary stimulant to raise dairying
i from a disliked sideline to a profession
worthy of the efforts of well-trained.
men. It has placed dairying on a
scientific basis, has promoted factory
efficiency and has stimulated the
breeding up of productive herds.
Ten necessary steps in making the
Babcock test are as follows: Mix the
milk thoroughly and take out a small
sample. Do not let the sample evap-
orate or curdle before testing. Fill
the pipette to the mark with milk,
Empty the pipette without loss into a
Babcock test bottle, Add sulphuric
' acid from the measuring cylinder to
the test bottle. Mix the acid and
milk thoroughly by shaking the bot-
tle Place bottles in the centrifuge
cover and whirl for five minutes. Add
hot water and whirl again twice one
minute each. Read and. record the
per cent of fat in the neck of the bot-
tle. Empty the test bottles and wash
thoroughly.
Provide a quart or more of milk,
with which to practice sampling and
testing. Mix it thoroughly by pourr-
ing several times from one vessel to
another: or by stirring vigorously.
Larger quantities of milk require
more stirring. While the milk is still
in motion, dip out half a teacupful
and pour this at once into a small,
clean, dry bottle. Fill the bottle near-
ly full, and stopper tightly to prevent
evaporation. After stirring the milk
again for a short time, take out an-
other sample, place it in another bot-
tle and stopper tightly as before. If
the milk was thoroughly mixed each
tune these two .samples will show ex-
actly the same per cent. of fat by the
Babcock test, provided the test bottles
are accurately marked on the neck.
Label the bottles with the name of
the cow or owner.

Many compliments were bestowed

GERMANS FACE HARD WINTER.
May Suffer Vicissitudes That Befell
. Napoleon.
Predictions that the approaching
winter will be very severe have in-
spired comparisons between the Ger-
man campaign in Russia and Napo-
leon's Russian campaign of 1812.
Abbe Moreau; of the Bourges
(France) Observatory, points out that
a curve indicating the European lo-
calities where the average tempera-
ture in January is zero centigrade, or
32 above zero Fahrenheit would pass
along g the coast of Norway, protected
by the gulf stream from greater cold,
ascend abruptly along the west coast
of Denmark, and follow a line consid-
erably 'westward from Berlin, turning
eastward in the region of Trieste to
the Black and Caspian Seas. Another
curve marking a zone where the aver-
age temperature is 14 degrees above
aero Fahrenheit would comprise Ber-
lin, Vilna, Riga, Dvinsk, Moscow and
Petrograd. To make up this average,
however, zones• of greater cold are
comprised, the maximum at Petrograd
being 38 below zero, and at Moscow
47 below zero Fahrenheit.
Examining the situation from a
meteorological point of view, Abbe
Moreatix finds confirmation of the pre-
diction of naturalists in reviewing, in
his opinion, a period of cold winters,
and he thinks that the German sol-
diers. may experience the same vicis-
has left records showing that as early
as, November 14 the "Grand Army"
had to endure a temperature of 12
below zero Fahrenheit on the line

having been begun October 18. From
November 17 the thermometer went
down rapidly to 22 below zero; De-
cumber 3 to reach 34 below zero when
the retreating army reached Malode.
cyn. Equally low temperatures, ac-
cording to Abbe Moreaux, are almost
certain to prevail over considerable
parts of the German front if it is
maintained on the present line and
are almost certain to overtake the
German forces in retreat unless they
abandon their positions immediately.
