Rcport on Skim ming MIX

bulletin No. AZ of the Utah expert
,nent station reports results Of expe-
rimests in Dreaming, made by F. T.
Linfield, 3. s. A. The following are
Tho conclusions drawn from the expert
ments:
/ AS regards ihoroughness OF skim
ming, the effectiveness of the methods
os Dreaming milk, according to our
work. stands in the following order:
~ Separator, (2 shallow pans, 90 deep
pals.
2. When the setting methods are
nracticed. tie pans will give much the
best results during the winter, or cold
months.
3. There is no advantage, but rather
the opposite. in moving the pans into
the house during the cold weather,
provided that they be kept in place
where the milk will not freeze.
4, OF the deep setting cans, those
which are SKINNED by drawing the
skim-milk from the bottom, give tie
better results; but the Cooley or sub
merged can, as regards thcroughness OF
Swimming, does not seem to possess
any advantage over these not sub
merged.
5. From the results given it is evil
dent that from herd OF ten good cows,
a separator would be wise investment.
The extra butter obtained by its use,
valued at 20 cents pound, would pay
20 per cens. year on its cost, as COM
nared with results from shallow pans,
and so per cent. year as compared
with deep setting.
G. With the deep setting methods the
cooler the water is kept, in which the
milk is sot, the better the skimming.
In fact. tc do the best skimming 1t IS
absolutely necessary to use ice, and a
sufficient quantity Of it to keep the

After this the hams are taken out OF

necessary that they first be exposed for
several weeks to the drying in the open

No fowl can be reared with as much

goose, After they have attained the
age of four months but little attention
is required other than supplying plenty
of fresh water, a good grass range and
a scrupulously dry roosting place,
whuch must also be free from lice and
other vermin fatal to the young, says
Fancier's Review. If it is impossible to
provide free range, the next best SUBJ
stitute is wire netting, which need be
but about 10 inches high to contine
them until mature. Give them fresh
water twice each day, also green food
such as turnip tops, celery and cabbage
ar allow them free range morning and
evening. There is no doubt that there
is profit in goose culture. When
Thanksgiving time arrives you can
generally dispose of the young soslings
at ten cents per pound, and their aver
age weight will be about ten pounds.

"gooselets" at 81 each, the receipts

to say that your profit will have been

cannot always be disposed OF at 81 each,
but on the other hand the price is often

large eoslings are obtained, quick to

ence has clearly demonstrated that the
rearing of geese should be done entirely
senarate from the rearing of fowls, as
the old and young Of both are naturally
inclined to be pugnacious, especially
ca after the young are about half
grown.
We favor Matching by hens, remarks
