WHAT THE "OVERRUN" IS.
Overrun means merely that
one pound of butterfat, when
made into butter, will produce
more than a pound of butter,
just the same as a pound of flour,
when mixed with water, milk,
yeast and salt will make more
than a pound of bread—or will
overrun.
During the process of churning, the butterfat is brought together by agitation, then the
butterfat is washed to remove
as much of the remaining milk-
as possible, then salted and
worked.
Average butter is composed
of the following substances:
Butterfat 82.5 p.ct.
Water   14.0 p.ct.
Casein (curd) 01.0 p.ct.
Mineral matter salt etc 02.5 p.ct.
Tota-U 100.0 p.ct.
Not all butter analyses as a-
bove. The proportions of the
several constituents vary, depending on the condition of the
fat, the efficiency of the apparatus used and the skill of the
maker. The water, of course,
varies most. Water, however,
must not exceed 16 per cent.
If you have 100 pounds of butter or cream that tests 30 per
cent you have 30 pounds of butterfat. In churning not all the
fat can be recovered, but the
loss with proper methods and
appliances, is very small. You
should make from this 30 pounds
of fat about B6 pounds of butter
of the composition given above.
To calculate the per cent of
overrun, subtract the weight of
fat from the weight of butter,
then divide by weight of butterfat and multiply by 100.
If a creamery receives 10,000
pounds of butterfat in the month,
and this is all made into butter
and sol'd, there will be sold from
11.500 to 12,000 pounds of butter, or from 15 to 20 per cent
more butter than there was butterfat bought. Assuming that
the overrun is 20 per cent, which
is a practical figure, we have
2,000 pounds of overrun. With
butter at 30 cents per pound,
the overrun amounts to $600.
This $600 will more than pay
all expenses of operating the
creamery, such as fuel, packages, color, salt and other sup*-
plies, butterm? kers' salary, h{-
terest and depreciation on the
plant and machinery.
The following will explain:
12.000 lbs.   of butter sold at
30c net    $3,600.00
Deduct expensaof operation.        430.00
Net amount for patrons    $3,180.00
10,000 lbs. fat at 31.8 cts      3,180.00
In this case the price of butter is 30 cents per pound, while
the price paid for a pound of
fat is 31.8 cents, due to the overrun.
In a Co-operative Creamery
like the Pierz, where the overrun is paid out to patrons, there
is no inducement for the butter-
maker to- make the overrun
large, therefor, you ought to sell
your cream to them.

will be celebrated next  Monday evening in a manner befitting this  progressive  step
in     our    history.    Arrangements have been made for   a
Torch-light   parade    headed
by the band and tlie Fire  department, to start  from the
village   hall   to upper   town
and return to   the    pumping

BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE
The barn on the Jake Duscher
farm in granite, formerly known
as the Mike Wurzer place, and
now rented by Mike Priglmeyer
was destroyed by lire la.st Friday afternoon at four o'clock.
No satisfactory explanation
of the cause of the lire can be
given. The flames seemed to
have started on the second floor
and when discovered by Mrs.
Priglmeyerwere issuing through
openings burnt   in    the   roof.
The threshing crew had slept
in the barn one night during the
week. The accidental dropping of a match by one of the
crew, and ignited by the nibbling of a mouse or rat, who are
said to be very fond of friction
matches, may have started the
tire. The building was insured
for |600. in the Farmers'Mutual
Insurance  Company.
LASTRUP STORE SOLD
P.W. Blake sold his store
building, stock of merchandise
and share in the creamery in
Lastrup to John Gross of Pierz
and his brother Peter of Granite.
The new owners will take possession about October 20. Jos.
Blake who has'been conducting1
the store for his father the last
six years has as yet no definite
idea what business he will engage in next.

The magistrate from his high seat

"Does this pullet belong to Mrs.
Jones?" he asked her. "No, indeed, It
don't, sir," she replied. Then he
turned to the other woman. "Does this
pullet belong to Mrs. Smith?" "It certainly does not," she replied. "The
pullet." the magistrate then decreed,
"does not belong to Mrs. Jones nor
does it belong to Mr. Smith. The pullet is mine. Take it round to the
house and give it to my cook."

THE PARCELS POST
The most important bill in its
bearings upon the people of
Milaca and this section, which
was passed during the recent
session of congress, was the parcels post provisions of the post-
office appropriation bill.
It provides that after  Jan. 1.
1913,fourth  class   mail    matter
shall include all kinds   of  merchandise,    including  farm  and
factory products,   not hither  to
included, except too  perishable
matter. Parcels will  be carried
through the mail   weighing  not
more than 11 pounds nor greater
in size than 7*2 inches   in  lenght
and   girth combind.
The new parcels post will be
divided into eight postal zones.
The first zone will be an area
within ",0 miles radius of any
postoffice. The second, within
150 miles; third, within 300;
fourth ,600; fifth, 1000; sixth, 1 '400;
seventh,1,800 eight,all in escess
of the seventh zone.
In addition to the rates there
is an Important provision of the
new law which gives tlie local
merchant, at any place within
the entire country, a marked advantage over any competitive
firm in any of the great cities,
if he takes advantage of his opportunities and goes after the
business. This provides that on
all matter sent from a town
like Milaca over rural routes
starting from that postoffice,
the rate shall be five cents for
the first pound and one cent for
each additional pound This is a
lower rate than is given in the
first zone.
For instance a Milaca merchant, under the paovisions of
the new law, which is to take
effect on Jan. 1, 1913, to send
the same package by mail,could
send ten pounds of groceries,
dry goods or other material to a
farmer for 14 cents. It would
cost the dealer in St.Cloud, living within the first zone of 50
miles, B2cents. If orderd at Chicago,it would cost at least 52
cents.
The new law will bring about a
great change in the sending of
goods and make the postoffice
a carrier for all kinds of merchandise.
While local merchants generally
have feared a parcels post, and
not without some good reason
the new law has fewer objections than others proposed in
the past, and no doubt thewide-
a—wake dealers will turn the
new law to their own advantage
and profit by it. —Ex.
