Farm Butter Makers.
Pennsylvania is the leading farm but- |
ter-making State. More than fifteen |
millions of dollars worth of butter is |
made annually on our farms. For the |
purpose of improving the July of much |
of this butter the Dairy Husbandry De-
partmen; of The Pennsylvania State Col- |
lege will have a butter scoring contest.
It is the purpose of this contest to stimu- i
late interest in good butter by friendly |
rivalry. It is also known that the de- |
fects of much of the butter at the pres.
ent time could be prevented. A contest
will help to learn just what the defects
are and in a large measure how they are
caused and prevented.
The plan is to have four contests dur-
ing the year; on April 22, June 24, Aug-
ust 20 and October 22. Each contestant
should send one pound of butter by par-
cel post or express to the Dairy Husband-
ry Department, State College, Pa., to
reach State College not later than the
dates given above. The butter should be
sarefully wrapped with considerable pa-
per. expense for postage will be no
reales unless two pounds is reached.
pon arrival the butter will be put in
cold storage and held until properly chill-
ed when it will be scored by a competent
judge. The sample will also be tested’
for moisture. This information together |
with comments on the butter and sugges-
tions for improvement will be sent to
each contestant. The butter, after being |
judged and samples taken for analysis, |
will be sold to help pay the expense of
conducting the contest.
The following score card will be used:
PERFECT SCORE.

AWARDS—A silver cup appropriately

contests. All who take part in the four
contests and have an average score of 90

fallen. The Bulgarian war office gave
out that information.
The fall of the Turkish holy city,
which probably will speedily end the
long Balkan war, followed a general
assault by the Bulgarians and Ser-
vians.
According to the report the Third
Bulgarian division entered the city
and ook formal possession. Before
they surrendered the Turks blew up
several powder magazines and fired
houses.
It was reported that Adrianople was
in flames in a dozen places and that
the inhabitants were fleeing in every
direction. There was danger that the
city would be destroyed.
Accounts from the front said that
the Bulgarians bayonetted hundreds
of Turks, who were engaged in firing

The river gauge at Oil City regis-

or two of water there, and for sev-

is dry. Business at Oil City is at a

Considerable anxiety was experienc.

ties of gasoline and ofl which covered
the surface of the creek and river.
The oil was about 4000 barrels, wash-
ed away from the Carmania Refinery
company's plant.
As the oil flowed down the surface
of the waters it was feared that there
would be a repetition of the disaster
of June 5, 1892, when, during a similar
flood, the entire surface of the river
was ablaze with oil that had ignited.
A large number of lives were lost at
that time.
When the residents were notified of
the escaping oil they rushed to the
river banks. Then the local company
of the National Guard was called out
to drive them back, roping off the en-
tire section lining the rivers.
Newspapers and industrial plants at

Pennsylvania Gives $50,000.
Harrisburg, Pa., March 27. — The
senate unanimously passed a resolu-
tion providing for the forwarding of
$50,000 to the flood sufferers of Ohio.
The vote by which the resolution
passed the senate was reconsidered
immediately after and the resolution
was referred to the judiciary general
committee. This was done because
the resolution was not in proper form.
A bill wil! be drafted to carry the ap-
propriation.
Say '50 Dead at Delaware, O.
Delaware, 0., March 27. — Rescue
work continued in the flooded district
and the list of those believed dead
was changed from time to time.
Several reported dead were found
and others believed saved were re
ported dead. However, the list of dead
probably will reach forty or fifty. Be-
cause of meager reports from the
main business section of Delaware the
exact number is unknown.
Those marooned on house roofs and
in the tree tops are still alive, al-
though many of them had no food for
twenty-eight to thirty-five hours.
