Farm Separator.

The Creamery Journal is bent on max
ing dairy farmers buy separators. 1t
says:
1t costs 81. so per tub to haul the but
ter in the milk from the farm to the
creamery.
We know of but two creameries in
Iowa that run routes where it costs less.
The average will be considerably
more, probably not less than ST.. rs to
SO tub. The average haul will not
exceed six miles.
Here is the great loss under the pres
ent creamery system. This is the great
handicap in the strife for cheaper pro-
duction
The simple statement that it costs
twice as much to haul tub of butter
in the milk from the farm to the cream
cry as it doeS to pay the freight from
any Iowa point to New York city seems
almost absurd. Yet it is the simple
truth.
We're the commission on butter at 10
cents per pound, three times the present
charge of 5 per cent, it would not be as
BI6db al 1t6lu us ~ tuC CO6J III HdullDS
the butter in the milk from the farm to
the creamery.
When it is understood that it costs
more to bring the butter i'll the l4ilk
from the farm to the factory than it
costs at the present freight rate and
price of butter to ship it from any Iowa
point to New York, to pay the commits
sion on it and then ship it to Liverpool,
the disproportion of the charges becomes
apparent.
We prophesy that in a few years the
dairymen will look back on the times
when they hauled loads of milk to the
creamery and back, and paid the big
money it costs for doing it, as most
ridiculous.
The endless discussion in dairy pa
pers of the cost of transportation, cost
of selling goods on commission, wages
of butter makers and cost Of insurance is
in the aggregate trivial in the face of
the fact that in many of the creameries
in Iowa the cost of hauling the milk at
this time is over $500 a week.

When young woman sits down and
ponders over her future life, there is one
all-important subject which she should not
forget. In day dream she may build
castles in the air with happy home, laugh
ing children and loving husband in the
foreground. At that moment she may be
facing death. Matrimony and motherhood
hold out no happiness to the young woman
who suffers from weakness and disease of
the distinctly feminine organism The wo-
man who suffers in this way will be aweak,
nervous, sickly, petulant wife an incapable
mother and an unamiable hostess. Not
knowing the truth, her acquaiutances will
not understand that she is deserving of
pity rather than reproach.
Any woman may be strong and healthy
in womanly way if she will use the right
remedy DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is the best of all medicines for weak and
ailing women. 1t acts directly on the de-
licate and important organs that make wife
hood and motherhood possible. 1t makes
them strong, healthy and vigorous. 1t
banishes the dangers that surround ma
ternity. 1t insures a healthy baby and an
ample supply of nourishment. Thousands
of women who were weak, sickly, nervous
invalids, are now healthy, robust wives and
competent mothers of healthy children, as
the result of the use of this medicine.

VERY YOUNG COLTS.
Raising Them by Hand and Giving Them
Lessons In Eating.

Raising Them by Hand and Giving Them
Lessons In Eating.
Our colts are taught to drink new
milk from the COW when they are but
few days old. After they learn to drink
this freely little bran is added, and it
is not long till they will take to bran
mash like an old horse. They learn to
eat dry feed from the Manager with their
mothers, and after this there are at all
times bran, oats, oilmeal and clover hay
kept where they can help themselves,
sometimes one, sometimes the other, in
order that they may not tire of either.
The colts are weaned at or months,
and if we have plenty of cows milk
we much prefer the earlier period,
as the colts learn to be in a measure
self dependent before cold weather
comes. When they are weaned, there is
no sudden change or trouble i4 getting
them to take to dry feed. for they are
already used to it, and as they have
been taught to drink milk from buck
ct there is no trouble there. We find it
much more profitable to feed our skim
milk to the colts than to put it into 2
or cent beef or cent pork.
don't know how many fail or how
many succeed in raising colts by hand,
but the pride of our colt family one
season was raised this way. Its mother
had distemper so badly that we knew
the colt would die if not weaned AS it
was the most valuable both by breeding
and individuality of anything on the
farm we did not want to lose it. The
first week it was fed fresh cows milk,
all it wanted, every three hours, to
which had been added one-fourth water
and one spoonful of sugar. The next
week the water was left out, and the
third week we began to use little oil
meal cruel. The Cruel was made by
pouring boiling water over the oilmeal,
letting it stand three or four hours. The
amount of meal used at first was but
few spoonfuls per day, but was increased
until one pint per day was given.
/ do not know how much of this
fuss was unnecessary, but do know
that this colt was the best one in ring
Of eight at our county fair as wean-
ling and took first money as yearling
at the Worlds fair. After the other
colts were weaned this one was put in
the lot with them and now receives the
same care and feed as the others do. A
growing colt needs to he fed heavier
than mature horse, and in some par
tioulars the feed needs to be varied from
the bill of fare that is given to older

Dairy and Creamery.

When cream is allowed to get too
sour before it is churned, the butter from
it will contain white, cheesy curd
specks. When they are present after
churnlng, draw off the buttermilk and
pour into the churn enough weak brine
to float the butter This must be done
while the butter is in the granular
state. You will find the cheesy curd
specks, being heavier than the butter,
will sink, while the butter will float.
It will not be many years, perhaps
not later than 1900, when all large
diaries will use milking machines.
Use only fine dairy salt and sprinkle
it in when the butter is the size of
grains Of wheat. AS to quantity of salt,
anywhere from half an ounce to an
ounce to the pound, according to the
taste you cater for More people prefer
half an ounce than an ounce. Many
again want three-quarters of an ounce
of salt to the pound of butter. Consult
your customers tastes in the locality in
which the butter is to be consumed
The author of the United States bull
letin ON butter making and sailing says
he has found the butter will be more
evenly sailed if it is taken out of tho
churn, laid upon the worker and part of
the water drained and pressed out.
Then he spreads upon the level butter
surface upon the worker an ounce of
salt to the pound of butter, afterward
working i'll the usual manner. He al
ways weighs both butter and salt to get
the quantity exact

and then salt it. We give both these
ways, SO that each may adopt the plan
that seems to him best adapted to salt

tains more cheese producing substance
in proportion to the total quantity OF
solids than that Of any other dairy fam
lily. We have heard lately of a man
whose cows were mostly Jerseys, but
who wished to improve his herd He
therefore introduced among them an
Ayrshire sire.
In any case a COW with the dairy
form of the one in our illustration can
not fail to make big record i'll the
milk pail. This COW is a fayorite prize
winner among Ayrshires.
By the way, let US have some Ayr

shrinkage of Corn In Storage.

Corn is the grain that probably
shrinks most, though as it grows less
in bulk its nutritive value is not less
ened. 1t may be even possible if the
cob be still damp that some nutrition
goes from cob to the grain while it is
in the crib The moist corncob has
some sweetness That of the dried cob
is only woody fiber ana potash. We
once measured $50 bushels of corn in
the ear into crib AS we had most of
it ground in the ear for feed we meas
ured out the corn during the winter as
it was taken from the mill. The
loss in bushels was more than 20 and
Of weight still more than this. This
was less decrease than we had expected.
But the corn was put in when thor
oughly ripened. and we began to take
it to the mill to grind it before it had
dried out much The Dent corn wastes
in drying much more than Flint corn
does. 1t is less compact after it is dried
and cannot be brought up to the stand

they come out. the mixture will cover
