INSTRUCTION IN DAIRYING OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED AT STATE FARM AT DAVIS Approved Machinery in Use for Butter Making—Standard Makes of Centrifugal Separators Available in Training Students—Location and Description of Buildings The first regular instruction in Dairy Industry to be offered at the University Farm was given in the fall of 1908, to a class of twenty-five short course students in creamery butter making. This was followed during the second half of the year by courses of longer duration and wider scope, for students in the school of agriculture and for regularly enrolled students of the College of Agriculture, who also pursue extended courses at the University Farm. In 1906 a commission appointed for the purpose selected and purchased a farm of 780 acres of fine valley land at Davis in Yolo County, which is thirteen miles west of Sacramento and ten miles south of Woodland. This junction point of the Southern Pacific lines makes the University Farm very accessible to all parts of the state. Numerous buildings are now under construction for purposes of instruction in agriculture. The dairy building is a two-story structure 60x80 with rooms on the first floor for separating, churning, cheese making, market milk and cold storage of butter and cheese. There is a power room containing an engine, motors, compressor and a 40H.P. boiler which furnishes steam for heating and power to operate creamery machinery and the eight-ton refrigerating machine. On the second floor are two class rooms, a laboratory for testing milk and dairy intensive assortment of Babcock testing glassware, for which he is responsible, and also an individual drawer in which to keep it. There are eighty drawers and room for forty students in a section. The Short Courses—Fall 1909 Since cremeary men and dairy men cannot absent themselves very long from their usual activities for purposes of study, short condensed courses of instruction are offered in which the best practices in the respective branches are taught, together with enough of the science underlying them to make them interesting and valuable. In the past, these courses have been useful, effective and well attended. Those who have taken them are uniformly well pleased with their investment. Two dairy short courses will be offered at the University Farm during October and November, 1909 as follows: Dairy Manufactures — Eight Weeks October 4th-November 24th For cremery butter makers and cheese makers. Object.—To give practical instruction in the principles underlying clean milk production and the manufacture therefrom of butter and cheese and to afford an opportunity of making and handling these products under the instruction of successful operators. Instructors.—Assistant Professor Hopper, Dr. Ward, Mr. Hagemann and others. Lectures on the secretion, composition and handling of milk; fermentations in milk and their control; testing milk, cream and other products for butter fat; separation of cream, cream ripening, pasteurization and the use of starters; churning, control of and tests for water in butter; dairy bacteriology, cheese making, curing, creamy accounting, etc.; steam engines, boilers, motors, pumps, etc., and many other sub-an equivalent bacteriology.

Superior Farm Schools, THE N The University Farm Creamery has been in operation since September first, 1908. It is a very important help in creamery instruction. Cream and milk are received from local patrons exactly as should be done in a private or cooperative creamery and payment made for same according to market quotations. The maintenance of a well organized creamery run upon commercial lines is a necessary adjunct to effective instruction in butter making or creamery management. With an assured local supply of milk and cream, the University Farm Creamery will provide occasion for studying many of the vexed creamery questions of California, and in turn impart what may be thus learned to those taking certain courses of instruction at the University Farm. All courses in dairy industry offered in any way by the University of California College of Agriculture are given at the University Farm, where students have the opportunity of seeing all operations conducted from a practical and commercial point of view. The standard makes of centrifugal separators, both hand and power, are in use as occasion demands and are available for instruction at all times. All cream received is pasteurized through a continuous machine and ripened in a modern ripening vat where the temperature can be controlled by revolving brine coils. A trunion starter can is in use for making starter in order to properly control fermentation in the ripening of the cream for churning. Pasteurization and the use of starters are recognized as essential practices in the making of butter from gathered hand separator cream. These alone should constitute an especial attraction to the present or prospective California butter maker, as their use is far too rare in the creameries of the state. Lectures on the secretion, composition and handling of milk; fermentations in milk and their control; testing milk, cream and other products for butter fat; separation of cream, cream ripening, pasteurization and the use of starters; churning, control of and tests for water in butter; dairy bacteriology, cheese making, curing, creamery accounting, etc.; steam engines, bollers, motors, pumps, etc., and many other subjects of vital interest to all who aim to become successful creamery operators. Two lectures daily for eight weeks. Practice in the separating room, churning room, cheese rooms, milk testing laboratory, bacteriology laboratory and with machinery; 4-6 hours daily, including Saturday. During this course the sixth and last entry for the current year of the Educational Butter Scoring Contest will be scored at the dairy school and premiums awarded. It is recommended that those registering in this course shall have had some creamery or dairy experience. Market Milk and Cream Supply—Two Weeks October 11th-23rd For milk dealers and creamery patrons Object—To give practical instruction in the most approved methods of handling milk or cream for creamery purposes or for direct consumption. Instructors—Assistant Professor Hopper, Dr. Ward, Mr. Hageman and others. Lectures upon the secretion of milk, its composition and the influences affecting same. Requirements for handling milk and cream for market or dairy purposes. Testing milk and cream for butter fat, acidity or adulterations. Practice in running hand separators, bottling, standardizing and pasteurizing milk or cream for market. Two or three lectures daily. Practice in milk testing, laboratory and market milk rooms. 4-6 hours daily. For instruction in milk testing, short course students must register in one of the above courses. Fees Dairy manufactures, $10.00 and $5.00 deposit to cover breakage. Market milk and cream supply, $2. Deposits are for breakage and the others.

Pasteurization and the use of starters are recognized as essential practices in the making of butter from gathered hand separator cream. These alone should constitute an especial attraction to the present or prospective California butter maker, as their use is far too rare in the creameries of the state. From the ripener, the cream passes by gravity to the churns. Two modern combined churns and workers are in daily use. From the churn the butter is packed according to the disposition. From receiving platform to finished butter, the cream is carefully guarded at every step. Acidity tests and water control form an important part of the work. Sanitary construction and modern equipment rule throughout. In the cheese-making rooms are found sanitary steel vats, modern presses and other appliances for making cheddar and other types of cheese. There are two cheese curing rooms where temperature is under control and where the humidity may be observed by the Mason Hygrometer. A market milk room is being planned which will contain machinery and devices for the practical and sanitary handling of milk in its preparation for market purposes. These will include pasteurizers, coolers, bottle fillers, bottle washers, testers, etc., and such other appliances as the room will accommodate. The milk testing laboratory is equipped with turbine and electric Babcock milk testers, acidity testing apparatus, cream weighing scales and tests for determining water in butter.

The School of Agriculture Dairy Industry During their second year students in the School of Agriculture receive instruction in dairy industry for one semester. This is work of secondary grade and while it covers part of the field indicated in the courses for students in the College of Agriculture, it is not so technical and rather more general. It aims to give the student a general dairy training, but does not fit for special lines of dairy work—such preparation is secured in the other courses mentioned. While we encourage as many as possible to take such courses as seem to meet their needs, and have multiplied courses in order to meet the demands of as many as possible, we cannot guarantee to find employment after completion of their course of study. This applies especially to those taking the short courses. However, we are constantly receiving calls for men with training and all worthy students will probably find satisfactory positions. Living Accommodations Board and room can be obtained in Davis at from $20.00 to $25.00 per month. The University Farm is adjacent to the town, making all accommodations accessible.

THE NEW MEMBER A new member of congress from GOLD IN OREGON AND NEVADA Recently Issued Government Reports of Value to Miners. The Cracker Creek mining district in the northwestern part of Baker County, Oregon, is a small part of the Blue Mountain gold belt of the State, and as generally defined comprises the drainage basins of Cracker and Fruit creeks. The principal mines in this district are the North Pole, Eureka, Elcelsior, Columbia, and Golconda, all located from northeast to southwest in the order named, on one persistent fissure, the North Pole-Columbia vein, or mother lode, as it is locally designated. The aggregate production of the mines on this lode is estimated to be at least $7,000,000. At present the Columbia is the only producing mine in the district, but the suspension of operations in most of the others is believed to be temporary and not caused by exhaustion of the ore bodies. In addition to the mines above mentioned there are a number of smaller mines and prospects on which annual assessments and considerable development work is being done. In November, 1908, during the progress of field work on the Sumpter quadrangle, in the northern part of which this district lies, J. T. Pardee of the United States Geological Survey took advantage of the opportunity to visit the underground workings of the Columbia and North Pole mines, and he has prepared a report which is published in the Survey's "Contributions to economic geology, 1908, Part I." The report treats briefly of faulting and vein structure in the district, and the following practical conclusions are deduced: "The results of structural study in the Cracker Creek district indicate that the mother lode is not notably displaced by transverse faults.Within the vein itself, however, there are WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO THE EARTH The earth and all its inhabitants are doomed inevitably to destruction according to Professor Percival Lowell, who declares that one of four possible fates await this planet and everything on it. A tramp star might strike the earth, he says, and grind it and its people to powder, or the earth might ride full tilt into the sun, when the earth's living creatures would be scorched to death. Tidal friction, by its gradually retarding force, may paralyze the earth's motion so that one side of the globe would be eternally baked by the sun and the other side forever frapped. This has already happened to Mercury and Venus. By the loss of all water and air through depletion or absorption, the earth may become a dry, desiccated mummy of a planet, wandering lifelessly through space. Mercury, again, is an example of this, and so is the moon. The most sure death of all, however, as depicted by Professor Lowell, is the decay and freezing of the sun, which is certain to occur some time. When the last flicker is extinct that gigantic ball, bereft of all radiance and warmth, and its re-tinue of inert, dark tramps, among them the earth, will drift about awaiting collision with some other planetary derelict, which would mean at once destruction and a new birth.

THE NEW MEMBER A new member of congress from one of the rural districts of Michigan was ambitious to distinguish himself by his oratory, and accordingly watched for a favorable opportunity. At length an occasion presented itself. A motion was made in the House for enforcing the execution of some statute; whereupon the orator in embryo rose solemnly up, and after giving three loud hems, spoke as follows: "Mr. Speaker: Have we laws, or have we not laws? If we have not laws, and they are not observed, to what end are those laws made?" So saying, he sat down, his chest heaving high with conscious consequence. Instantly Cox, the clown of the House, with a twinkle in his eye, rose and delivered his thoughts in these words: "Mr. Speaker: Did the honorable gentle man who spoke last speak to the purpose, or not speak to the purpose? If he did not speak to the purpose, to what purpose did he speak?" That particular orator never troubled the house again. U. S. POSTCARD A BAD ONE Washington, July 3 — The Postoffice Department is preparing to issue a new post card. Postmaster General Hitchcock has called in the expert chemists of the Department of Agriculture and has instructed them to work out a formula that will give much better paper than can be made under the contract now in force. He says the postal cards issued by this government are inferior to the product of almost every other country, and that it is contemplated to make improvements in the general style of printing and arrangement of the type and designs. It may be decided to change also the color of the ink and the tint of the paper. The government issues 75,000,000 postal cards a month. The present four year contract expires December 31st next, and in the meantime the Postmaster General is giving personal attention to OPPORTUNITY They do me wrong who say I come no more.
