OLD SWINDLE IS
BROUGHT FORTH
FOR HOUSEWIFE
Making Two Pounds ofJJutter
From One Is an Old
Idea, Says Prof.
Frandsen.
f ; P-of. J. H. Frandsen. hed of the
Y'niversity Nebraskt, dairy hus
bandry department
, "T he hiffh orice of butter has
given opportunity to interest house
wives again in an old familiar twin
die variously known as 'making two
-. pounds of butter out of one', 'won
derful butter increaser', or 'magic
buttermaker'. It is generally point
ed out that two pounds of butter
caa be made out of one pound of
butter mixed with milk," said Prof.
J. H. Frandsenhead1 of the Univer
sity of .Nebraska, dairy husbandry
department. "There is nothing new
about this device as it has been sold
id different parts of the country off
and on for at least thirty or forty
years.
"According to law, butter must
contain at least 82 per cent butter
fat, and not to exceed 16 per cent
water, which, of course, would not
be the case if skim milk or water
were mixed with it As a matter
of fact, butter made in this way gen
erally contains less than 50 per cent
of butter, ffet. It is, therefore, il
legal , to offer such a product for
sale as butter. Furthermore, if the
housewife desires the soft and
slushy fat, she could secure an ar
ticle of approximately the same
merit by buying rich cream which
wuld be cheaper and probably more
palatable than worked-over butter.
"It is simply another way of add
ing 'water or skim milk to the but
ter the same results might be ac
complished by spreading the butter
about half as thick, so far as actual
nourishment is concerned. There
isl of course, no law against this
kind of camouflage in the home, but
it is' hardly playing fair to one's
stomach to pretend that a pint of
milk added to a pound of butter
doubles the amount of butter or its
food value. It is well the remem
ber that butter is one of the most
desirable and easily digested energy
foods that we can take into our sys-
tem-"i -
But Two Colleges Taught s
v Geography Sixty Years Ago
The rapid development of geog
raphy as a college study, since its
first appearance in a university cur
riculum about half a century ago, is
discussed by Prof. R. H. Whitbeck,
of the University of Wisconsin,, in
a recent article on "Geography in
American and European Universi
ties," publishedin The Journal of
Geography. He points out the fol
lowing interesting facts:
In 1860, Harvard and Princeton
were the only American universities
offering courses in geography.
Cornell and the University of
Wisconsin introduced the subject in
1868, and Yale followed in 1872. In
1900 only twelve American untversU
ties taught the subject, but by 19101
, 31 universities were offering a vari
ety of 142 courses.
With 704 students enrolled in ge
ography, the University of Wiscon
sin led all others in 1910. With
1,069 enrolled in 1917, it led all oth
ers except the University of Penn
sylvania. It now offers seven
courses in physical and economfc
geography, climatology and other
phases of the subject.
"Arguments From Sky" -Now
Filed in Library
Propaganda leaflets that were
dropped over the enemy lines by
American balloons and aeroplanes
during October aim - November,
1918, have been sent to the Univer
sity of Wisconsin war collection by
the general headquarters- of the
American expeauionary iorces. f
Most of the propaganda is printed
in German and among the leaflets
are: President Wilson's answer to
Germany of October 14, his note of
jOctober 23, containing peace terms
offered; an account of the withdraw
al of Germany's allies and Austria's
bidding for a separate peace; a state
ment urging that Germany's ruler's
and not her soldiers will benefit bv
the war; details of American treat
ment of German prisoners, growth
." or American army, gains of the al
lies in territory, men, and munitions;
and postcards which German pris
oners might send to their people
when captured.
Fishes Tagged to Show
Atjes and Wanderings
To study the age of fish and the
extent of their migrations, the fed
' eral government is conducting
through the zoology department of
: the University of Wisconsin a series
of experiments in which thousands
of fish are being tagged and record
ed. ,
Fish of all kinds are caught in the
Madison lakes, measured, weighed,
recorded, and jput back into the
water at the spot at which they were
caught. Metal tabs are attached to
their gill-covera to identify - them.
Samples of their scales are filed
with, their records since age may be
determined by the rings, on their
srtles. When fthey are caught
again, the tags and records will in
dicate how far they have migrated.
"About 1,200 fish have been tagged
and placed in the-Madison lakes in
the past two years.
