Some Separator Experience.

From Farmers Review: We bought
; De Laval separator last spring and
the instructions that came stated that
the cream guage had been properly ad-
tusted and not to change it unless we
found it necessary. We put the milk
In the cans. started the machine, and
when at proper speed turned the milk
into the bowl. The milk soon came
from the milk spout. but where was
the cream? At last it began dropping
In thick chunks (such as you some
times draw from fresh cows) from the
cream spout. stopped the machine
and turned the cream screw back
wards a few times. and started again.
have not turned that screw from that
day until this. The first five gallons
OF cream that we separated we
weighed and churned. It weighed A
pounds. churned it 20 minutes and
the butter came in nice large granules.
Then l put in q bucket of cold water
and let it stand a few minutes, then
drew the milk OF. After that washed
the milk out thoroughly, took the but
ter out and weighed 1t. and we had 2S
pounds of butter: put 1t back In the
churn. salted 1t. and the next day
worked 1t. and sold 1t. and still there
were q pounds of butter. Now does
1t pay to have the cream as rich as
that? How many pounds of butter
should it make to the gallon. Our
churn II small and we do not have TO
churn SO often when 1t Is rich, but II
10 not suitable for table use. We made
ice cream for school picnic and put in
separated milk and 1t was
pronounced very good. only little too !
rich. Will not some one that has had
years Of experience tell US II we are
making mistake in having our cream
% thick.

Cable dispatches say that Gen. Abdul
Chakim Khan and three other high
Afghan officers have been publicly shot
BY order of the ameer in the market

embezzlement Of money intended for

The German minister Of war Is au-
thority for the statement that the

and for ambulance service. Animals
are always in the way in war, and
when they can safely be replaced q
great stride will have been taken.

A Solder st q Battle.

A spider that has been through q,
least two battles and has taken lona
journey by sea and land. all without
mishap. is something Of . curiosity
The first time this particular spider
came into notice was Just before the
fight At tho Atbara. It had taken w
its quarters In tho ventilator OF the
helmet Of an omcer. Major Lawrie. II
was an energetic spider. coming out at
night to feed, and after having its sup
per OF flies. returning to Its hiding
place. The major left 1t unmolested,
and when he went into the Atbara
fight 1t was still In his helmet. Men
were killed all about him. but Major
Lawrie and his spider were unhurt. At
Omdurman the major commanded .
battery, and once more the spider went
into action. When the trouble was ov-
er. Major Lawrie packed various arti-
cles to be sent home. and amongst
them the helmet that had seen action.
Inside the helmet was the spider. Not
until too late did tho oncer remember
that he had sent his little friend on q
long voyage without stocking up his
larder. It seemed unfair that tho little
creature that had twice come out Of
battle unharmed. should starve tc
death on the Journey. but nothing
could now be done to help It. When the
major reached London. 1t was with
some compunction that he opened the
helmet box expecting to SEQ the dead
body Of the spider. He was rejoiced
to find his friend alive and vigorous.
md not even lonely. Upon the way
the occupants Of the helmet had in
:reased in number. for now two young
spiders shared the strange retreat.

Soil for Strawberries.-We think thu
soil has the most to do with produc.
ton OF large crops Of Strawberries and
large berries. Sandy soil produces the
finest berries, but not the largest OF
as many per acre. The reason Is plain
to those who have tested the matter.
II you want large crops, select your
heavy soil. plow and subsoil deep. then
repack the soil just as hard az you
possibly can. but do not work while
too wet Strawberry roots will pene-
trate the hardest soil and will develop
the best fruit buds and produce the
finest berries. Constant and very shall
low cultivation Is best. Sandy soil
cannot be packed 30 hard. hence It will
produce nne plants. but not such laree
