Utilizing Creamery By.Produosa


The Creamery Journal says in re-
gard to this matter: There is evil
dences that the farmers themselves are
getting their heads level. They are
leading the crcamerymen in some To-
callties, instead of being led by them.
The creamerymen should take the in
itiative, however, in all reforms. be-
cause there should be a definite head.
And the farmers seeing the ruinous
effects of the loss of the feeding value
of the by products, can see that the
farm separator is perfect solution OF
this trouble. This shows why farm
separators are getting a good hold in
spite Of all opposition from such
creamerymen as wish to see the sepa-
rating done in the factory. 1t doubles
the value of the by products and cuts
the expense OF securing it in two. 1t
is at least worth one-half more than
what the skim milk is worth after
back again, which is worth one-half as
much under existing general condi-
tons after 1t is done. We must save
our by products or lose our profits and
eventually lose our creameries, and
there is no factory of any kind that
can afford to neglect to make wise pro-
vision in regard to their by products.
Separating at home and pasteurizing
factory milk are receiving more atten-
tion than ever before, and it is because
necessity demands some method OF
cheapening the production that this
object lesson was brought before the
eyes of the dairy public"

It does not by any means follow that
a Good soldier will not make an eff
ci-nt mayor, or governor, or congress
man. Nevertheless, a warning is de-
mandcd because, In every close contest
OF the near future, shrewd politicians
will put a soldier at the front. At
such a time a conscientious citizen
will view the situation most critically,
and make sure that, while planning
to honor a deserving hero, he is not
really strengthening the grip of the
Objectionable political boss.

The man who has an aim Is the
man who thinks. The man who ac-
complishes something worth his while
has clear idea TO work on. The man
who drifts never thinks, for the mo-
ment he began to do so he would put
his hand on the wheel and steer his
craft into clear water. The worthless
lives without fixed purpose, and the
great multitude who yearly ruin them
selves by yielding to temptation and
vice in the guiee of pleasure are men
who are intended to become archangels
and who have the capacity of becoming
archangels, but who do not recognize
these facts because their intellects are
under the influence Of morphine, self
administered.

The Dogs OF War.

They've followed far upon the scent;
They've gone by day and dark;
The world has paused to listen when
The iron threats would bark.
They've run the quarry fairly down
The work is nigh complete
They're coming back to Uncle Sam
To lay 1t at his feet.
A gentler mood must soon hold sway
The fierceness of the chase
To things of higher human worth
Ere long will yield a place.
From the marauding wolf we've clutchet
The prey he would have slain,
And now we'll take the dogs of war
And chain EN- up again.

English Milking Trial Rules.

At the last meeting of the Council
Of the British Dairy Farmers associa-
ton the recommendation of the Milk
Ing Trials Committee were considered,
with the result that the following
points to be awarded In the milking
trials were adopted: One point for
every ten days since calving, deducting
the first forty days, with a maximum
of fourteen points. One point for every
pound of milk, taking the average of
two days yield. Twenty points for
every pound of butter fat produced.
-Four points for every pound of sol
ids other than fat" Deductions: Ten
points each time the fat is below per
cent; ten points each time the solids
other than fat fall below S.5 A dis
cussion also took place upon certain
standards for different breeds, pro-
posed by the same committee to be
adopted in adjudicating champion
milking prizes; but the council de-
cided not to adopt these standards.

 We used to think that London and Paris were far ahead of us in their smart showing of carriages, but that is no longer so New York has got to be very correct as far as the stable is. concerned, and you know the swag- ger set is largely inclined to be the horsy set. It must be confessed that the swell men either initiate their grooms or permit their grooms to imi- tate them. Horsy gentlemen always suggest gentlemanly horses to me. You know the kind.

 she might say that she hailed from Billville and who is the daughter of a many times millionaire, and this one concludes that as she can have any trap she wants she will pay no atten- tion to the fact that certain laws, rules and regulations constitute carriage eti- quette. In the first place, she sits on the wrong side. A lady should always be on the right of her carriage just be- hind the coachman. In the second place, this lady Is given over to the dangling of chains, which is a worse stamp of vulgarity than a claret livery with white collars and cuffs and gold braid. Then her carriage. is not, as it ought to be, immaculate.

A good footman ought to look as if he had swallowed a board which had attached itself to his spinal column, and If there are thousands of accidents on the streets and hundreds of exciting episodes he ought to look perfectly im- passive and absolutely unmoved. When such footman is got he is treasure. The most correct livery today is a very dark one, blue or black being pre- ferred. The boot tops should be white and the coat have a velvet collar and narrow velvet cuffs. The gloves should be white, and the hat should shine as if 1t were an advertisement for some shoe polish.

addressed by lovers to their mistresses were the product of their own hand and brain. But the labor involved was found in most cases to be far out of propor- tion to the results arrived at, and it soon became the common practice to substitute the valentine of commerce flor the home product. The skill of the poet and painter was called into requi- sition, and many very expensive and elaborate valentines are the result The number of these missives sent on each 14th of February in the United StatHs must amount to many hundreds of thousands, and the letter carriers and distributors regard the approach of St. Valentines day with sentiments the reverse of blissful.
 The observance of St. Valentines day is a European custom imported, and, like many other European customs, it failed to thrive in America 1t was too burdened with sentiment and lacked the necessary novelty, and so it was dis torted to what it is now.
 When the transition from the original to the present custom occurred 1t would be hard to state.
 The first St. Valentines day was in- augurated by the priests of the early CuuICA db coootitutS AoA what was a popular Roman custom, the early fathers in their wisdom decid- ing that gradual substitution, or taper ing off, as it might be called, was pref erable to the sudden stoppage of long standing habit.
 How this came about Is told In a gen. orally accepted work by Deuce, entitled Illustrations by Shakespeare" In it he gives the origin of St. Valentines day in the following terms:
 Tt was the practice in ancient Rome during a great part of the month of February to celebrate the Lupercalia. which were feasts in honor of Pan and Juno, whence the latter deity was nam- ed Februata, Februalis and Februlla. On this occasion amid variety of cere- monies, the names of young women were put in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance di- rected. The pastors of the early Chris tian church, who. by every possible means, endeavored to eradicate the vestiges of pagan superstition and chiefly by some communication of these forms, substituted, in the present in- stance, the names of particular saints instead of those of women, and as the festival of the Lupercalia had com menced about the middle of February they appear to have chosen st. vsien- tines day for celebrating the new feast
