FARM NOTES
About Separators,

~ w. L. Vanslyke, Abbeville, La: 81
have been very much interested in
reading your dairy articles in Home
and Farm, and as there are a few
points not quite clear to my mind in
regard to making butter l write you
hoping you will kindly give me your
opinion on the same. In your
first article. Jan. /, you speak
fof the advisability of using a
Separator, but fail to find further on
what you do with the cream imme,
sdiately afterward. Now the reason |
Awrite you is this: l have 10 COWS well
Jgraded from Jersey and native stock,
Z and / wish to make the very best art
iicle of butter can for this home mar
4 ket. We have very warm weather
nearly all the year, and milk will sour
before the cream will rise. ] have q
wind mill, and during the warmest
weather set the milk in an iron tank
and let the mill pump the
we'll water through this tank,
but all this does net give
satisfaction by the old method of pans
! for raising cream and churning into
butter. With a separator would as
soon as I had MIXED separate the
cream. Kindly take tins cream and
make it into butter for me as you
would for Yourself" These are the
4 kinds of INQUIRIES like to answer hes
cause it gives something detintte to
write about and fits the condition Of
many Others. While fine butter can

Illness. l would rather raise
Ybabies in an incubator than
make butter this way. The climate OF
Louisiana calls for the most modern
methods of dairying in order to short
en- the time between the COW and the
churn. For this purpose the separator
is at present probably the best ma
chine. For 70 cows No. 2 baby De
Laval is the best suited. The milk
can be put through the separator as
soon as drawn from the cows and re
duced a few degrees in temperature.
In this matter Won must
follow the instructions that come
with the machine. The cream that
! is separated in the morning should be
kept as cool as possible and the cream
sera~at ed at evening should be kept
over night at temperature not under
65 degrees with cup of sour skim
milk mot buttermilk) added to it, and
the next morning. that is, "a hours
from the first separation, mix the two
creams and churn not higher than "
degrees. If these temperatures are
TOO high for your conveniences, then
ltry evaporating wet blankets in the
kopen windows. 1t is about impossible
7 to make or handle good butter at q
temperature that runs above 10 de-
grees.

Feed For Calves.

4 Every mar who runs dairy and
works the milk down to its finest
point, grudges every drop of good
whole milk he has to give to the
calves. At the same time if he is a
humane man, he hates to see the
calves getting thin, pot-bellied and
with hair staring out like quilts upon
the fretful porcUpine. Both
of these difficulties can be
avoided provided you are will
ing to take the trouble to make good
and wholesome substitute for whole
milk. The way to do it is to have the
skim milk kept perfectly sweet until
it lie fed then heat it up to about 30 de-
grees and add flaXseed jolly. Boil
,fisxseed in eight times it's bulk OF
water until it becomes a jelly and dis
solve into the warm milk for young
calves one gill of the jelly to gallon
of skim milk and add one gill OF good
bran or mill feed. This quantity
SHOULD be increased as the calf grows
larger. Never forget that cold milk
"a almost sure death to calves and so
Yis q wet or foul sEall. lfyou are not
willing to take proper care OF the
calves then be merciful and knock
them in the head when one day old.

TRADE AND COMMERCE.
Dun & Co Is Trade Review

NEW YORK, May 11.-R. g. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade which
issues tomorrow, will say:
The speculation in grain has again
broken the record with the lowest
price ever made for wheat, although
Western receipts are little smaller
than a year ago, while exports are
also smaller by more than quarter.
The prevailing belief is that the yield
will, as in other recent years, far eX'
coed government indications, which
are again pointing to a short crop.
Corn has changed in price but little,
and pork products have been fairly
steady, with oil and coffee unchanged,
but cotton is weaker in tone, although
receipts from plantations are little
smaller than year ago. 1t Is a
striking evidence of the general want
of confidence that there Is SO little
speculation while money is abundant
almost beyond precedent.
One large failure about doubled the
aggregate of liabilities for firms failing
ia the week ending May 3, which
would otherwise Lave been quite
small. but were So 922, 794, the number
and general average of liabilities Gre

ported were SIS. 826,SG2, o: which So,

WESTERN PASSENGER ASSN.
Trouble in Arriving at Territorial Division

Trouble in Arriving at Territorial Division
in the Northwest.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Atchison
road will not agree to the proposed
division of the territory of the Western
Passenger association and that deal is
off at least for the time being The
reasons given by the Atchison for
Withdrawing its consent from the pro-
posed arrangement are that it involves
too many contingencies and if the i'm
migrant agreement is in any way
made dependent on the arrangement
of the association territory there is no
assurance that the immigrant deal
will ever go through While declining
to accept the division of territory, the
Atchison says that il will in no way
embarrass the workings of the immi-
grant clearing house.
The truth of the matter is that the
Atchison does not wish to go into any
arrangement which may in any way
lend to hinder the settlement Of ITS
troubles in California with the South
ern Pacific and it is willing to sacrifice
pretty much all that is necessary to
have its dispute with the latter set
tied. The other lines of the Western
Passenger association have not settled
what they will do now that the Atch
ison has declined to enter their plan,
but they have strong hopes that some

Potato Scab.

Is potato scab produced by an in
sect. or does the insect Prof. A. D.
Hopkins has found on scabby potatoes
merely furnish the conditions in which
fungus multiplies, and that eats
away the surface of the potato? We
J do not care to dispute the conclusions
of a scientific man like Prof. Hopkins.
The questions we have asked are of
less practical importance now that it
is known that & weak solution OF cor
Tosive sublimate applied to potato
seed will make the potato crop smooth
and marketable. 1t also greatly in
creases the yield, as the scab on the
tuber is always accompanied With
some injury to the potato leaf, and
that necessarily the potato growth.

Prince Bismarck's Vooing.

Prince Bismarck began his wooing in a
rather stern manner. As he always favor.
ell energetic measures, he wrote direct to
the young lady's parents with whom he
was not acquainted, and demanded their
daughter in marriage They were simple
folk, leading very quiet life, and they
were rather frightened at the reputation
for ghliving which the candidate enioyed.
Their daughter, however, intimated in dis.
Greet terms that she did not look upon the
young gentleman with an unfavorable eve.
as there was no doubt the young mans
parents had a good reputation.
Consequently the young lady's parents
invited Bismarck to come and see them.
Every one did his best to give the visitor
suitable reception Fraulein Won Putt
Hammers parents put on an air of grave
soemnity, and the young lady stood with
her eyes modestly bent upon the ground,
when Bismarck, on alighting, threw his
arms around his sweetheart's neck and
embraced her vigorously before any one
had time to tell him that his conduct was
hardly proper and correct The result was,
however, an immediate betrothal. Prince
Bismarck is very fond of telling this tale,
and he is careful always to finish the story
by this rejection;

lady has made of me. e."-Philadelphia Rec.
