Paine's celery cmpound is the most
remarkable remedy for the blood and
nerves known to the nineteenth CEN
tury. 1t is employed by the foremost
physicians in curing kidney and liver
troubles and the diseases due to ner-
yous disorders, faulty nutrition and
impoverished blood, producing results
that seem little short of the miracu-
louS.
Paine's celery compound builds up
the system, purifies the blood, regulates
the nerves. The weak and worn-out
soon find their frames invigorated, their
spirits raised and their strength re-

THE DAIRY.
COLD DEEP SETTING VS.. SEPA-
.RATCR.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Prof. W. H. Jordan, Director of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, did substantial service to the
dairying interest OF this country when
he instituted an investigation relative
to the various methods of Dreaming
milk, in the summer and autumn of
1894.
A representative of the Station, Mr..
Hayes, during q certain part of August,
September and October that year &C
companied the cream collectors of two
butter factories on their trips to the
houses Of the patrons ard thoroughly
sampled the skim milk. These samples
were promptly shipped to the station
laboratory, where the per cent. of fat
was determined.
Mr.. Hayes visited 224 farms and
found 221 of them using cold deep set
ting. OF those only 16 were out Of ice,
while 1914 kept ice in the tanks con-
stantly.
Results: 1875 of the pa herds did not
exceed two tentbs of one per cent. OF
fat in the skim milk COZ, the average
being about fifteen one-hundreds OF one
per cent. (O15)
If, as is claimed by the champions OF
the separator, only one-tenth of one pei
cent. COD would be left in the skim
milkfro a separator, there would have
been but a saving of five ~hundredths o.
one per cent. coos if separators hac

Then again, admitting for the sake

amount TO hut che pound of butter fat

it is rot by any means certain that III
