MILK Dilution separators.

Newspaper Bulletin No. n, Indiana
Experiment Station: Within the past
few months there has been introduced
to the farmers OF Indiana what Is
termed a dilution cream separator.
This is not separator Is commonly
understood by dairymen. where cream
Is separated from milk by centrifugal
force, bat is specially constructed
can, usually of large size. In when
cream separates from milk by rising
to the surface, by the common gravity
process. The principle Of Dreaming In
this can, however, differs from that
usually performed in the dairy
through the mixing Of water with tho
milk to assist the cream to rise. These
specially made cans have certain Pc
culiarities Of construction and are ad-
vertised by the makers as cream
separators." The cans of different
manufacturers differ in form and style,
but the principal feature with all Is
to fill the can partly full of new warm
milk and then at once add a large
quantity of cold water. This Of course
dilutes the milk, perhaps 100 per cent.
In this diluted condition, the claim OF
the manufacturers is, that the cream
will rise more completely and rapidly
than II not diluted; that In 70 to ~
minutes 1t will all rest on the surface
of the SKINNED milk, which may be
drawn off from below.
In 1893 the Indiana Experiment Sta
ton for two weeks carried on an ex-
pertinent on the influence OF dilution
of milk on efficiency Of dreaming. The
results of this work, as published In
bulletin Al Of the station, were that
a greater loss of fat occurs In skim
milk when dilution is practiced than
with undiluted milk. that the loss Is
greater with cold than with warm
water, and that by diluting the mill
a poorer quality Of skim milk for feed
ing is thereby produced. These results
were in accordance with conclusions
arrived at through similar experiments
at the Vermont, Cornell, Illinois and
Ontario college stations. The process
of dilution was not to be recommended
as a general practice.
These so-called separators are pat

Glass Pavement.

United States Consul Covert, at
Lyons, reports the laying Of glass
pavement in one Of the streets Of that
city nearly a year ago. He says: at
has stood as hard usage as any pave
ment could be subjected to during that
time, and is still in an admirable state
Of preservation. The glass, or ceramic
stone, pavement is laid in the form of
blocks eight inches square, each block
containing sixteen parts in the form Of
checkers. These block are SO closely
fitted together that water cannot pass
between them. The advantages attrib-
uted to this ceramo-crystal by the man
ufacturers are: AS pavement 1t has
greater resistance than stone; 1t Is a
poor conductor of cold, and ice will not
form upon it readily; dirt will not &C
cumulate upon it as easily as upon
stone, and 1t will not retain microbes;
it Is more durable than stone and just
as cheap"

Preserving Eggs.

Prof. Ladd, of North Dakota College
of Agriculture, in bulletin No. 35, gives
the following directions for the use of
water glass in keeping eggs. Water
glass is silicate Of soda or silicate Of
potash, the former being cheaper. 1t
is not expensive.
If wooden kegs or barrels are to be
used in which to pack the eggs, they
should first be thoroughly scalded with
boiling water to sweeten and purify
them.
To each ten quarts of water, which
should first be boiled and then cooled,
add one quart Of water glass. Pack
the eggs in the vessel and pour solu-
ton over them, covering well.
Keep the eggs in cool, dark place.
A dry, cool cellar is a good place.
If the eggs are kept in too warm .
place the silicate is deposited ana the
eggs are not properly protected. Do
not wash the eggs before packing, for
by so doing you injure their keeping

eggs, for stale eggs will not be saved
and may prove harmful to others.
All packed eggs contain a little gas.
and in boiling such eggs they will
crack. This may be prevented by
making a pin hole in the blunt end Of
the egg. To do this hold the egg in
the hand, place the point of pin
against the shell of the egg at the blunt
end, and give the pin quick. sharp
blow, just enough to drive the pin
through the shell without further in
jury to the egg.

The King Bird and the Poultryman'
Don't allow the small boy with the

The question Is often asked what Is
the best method of destroying the
hawks which prove such a hindrance
to the poultry raiser. The success
which you meet with In destroying the
hawks will be nothing to brag about
it matters not what plan you may
adopt to that end. The hawk Is an
exceedingly wary bird. and you will
spend many weary hours trying to trap
him, without success. But you can
enter into an alliance with the King
birds, and when the hawk comes stroll

they will furnish him so much enter
tainment that he will forget what he
came for. He will soon learn where a
pair Of these audacious little fighters
are on guard, and will avoid the local.

ORIGIN of the ArerIr %,


The real origin Of the Spanish Merf-
nos is lost in the dim past. For more
than 2,000 years the Spanish shepherds
have been raising this kind Of sheep,
and without doubt have. In the lapse
Of centuries, greatly modified them, -
the imaginary standard Of each CEN
fury might seem to demand. Certain
It is that the Spanish succeeded in pro-
ducing q fine type Of wool-produclng
sheep. So much was this the case that
the fame Of these sheep spread all over
the world and led other nations to
desire to introduce them into their own
pastures. About 1856 about 800 Of
these sheep were introduced into Sax
ony. There, under royal protection.
they were cared for and developed
along the lines OF fne-woOled sheep.
Since that time these Saxon Merinos
have undergone considerable change.
so much 80 that now they produce .
fleece finer than did the original I'M
portatiens, and the sheep themselves
have been rendered too tender to DO
we'll in the colder portions OF tho
United States. In 1885 about 300 Meris
nos were imported into France from
Spain. There, too, they received royal
protection and good care, and their
original characteristics were soon
changed. They are the originals OF
what are now called the French Mert-
nos.
The importation of Spanish Merinos
into the United States began In the
early part Of the present century,
During the first twelve years more
than 10000 of them were brought into
this country and distributed mostly
throughout the New England states,
but also to some extent among the
more southerly seaboard states. Con-
corning them F. D. Coburn says:
"a large proportion Of the Merlno
focks Of the United States, descend
ants from the importations from
Spain, were subsequently inbred with
the Saxon and French varieties, until
many Of the characteristics Of these
were engrafted upon the American
locks. Through the exceptions to this
rule, however, sufficient NUMBER OK
aocks have been found tracing with
reasonable proof Of purity direct to
their Spanish ancestry to warrant the
claim that the present highest type OK
American Merino Is the direct de-
scendant, without admixture of other
blood, Of animals included in some OF
the several importations from Spain
before the year 1919. The French
Merinos have perhaps larger carcass
than the average American, and tho
French breeders were the first to pro-
duce a Merino combing wool. The
Saxon Merinos have been but sparingly
introduced into this country, the

The headquarters of his regiment is
at Fort Santiago, in the city of Ma
Mia. Up to the time of his departure
from Manila, Capt. Hersey says that
the Twelfth regiment had been in two
engagements, June and IL. In the
first engagement the regiment lost two
men. During the second engagement
three men were killed, and one officer
and fifteen men were wounded. The
first battle was before the towns of
Taitai and Cainutia, and the second
fight was at Las Pima and Paranaque.
The Twelfth was supporting Dyers
battery, Sixth artillery.
"It's hard to tell just how many In

by those on the firing line as about 300
in the hrst engagement and 5000 In
the second. l never learned who COM
