The death of the old year and the birth
of the brand new 1899 turns our thoughts
to the possibilities Of the future and the
happenings Of the past. Opportunity
upon this occasion comes to our notice
the Philadelphia Inquirer Almanac for
1899, which, we find upon looking
through, supplies our minds, in concise
form, with the thoughts of all the hap
penings for 1898. This book is, as usual,
attractively bound, but what is of far
greater Importance, the text contained
between its covers is the most valuable
compilation of useful information which
52S pages of closely printed matter will
admit Of. The Inquirer Almanac for
1899 is for sale at all news stands and by
all news agents. and it will be found that
20 cents so invested will be a good begin
ming of the yet fresh New Year. NE
The recent war was a very serious
matter, but it had its funny phases.
These have been put into jingling verse
and merry prose by Charles M. Snyder,
the author of the famous comic history
of Greece. It promises to be the literary
laugh Of the year and it will appear ex

There are a great many dairymen and
farmers who are constantly adding sep
arators to their conyeniences, and, al
though each manufacturer sends a book
of instructions, many purchasers fall
down aud declare the machines are
more work and trouble to care for than
the gain of having them. If they would
thoroughly learn how to manipulate
them, there would be'nothing butpraise
said of any of them The machines all
run at high speed and need watching
and caring for, the same or more SO than
any other machine used about the farm,
but when properly washed, scalded and
put together properly there is no need
Of difficulties in operating them. There
are makes that are very comp licated and
have more parts than are essential to do
the work, but a machine of this kind
must be babied just SO much more.
Never discard the separators, for just SO

\ Some years ago we expressed cur be-

haps the efforts Of Secretary Of Agrioul-

skinsmiIIS Calves.


Professor Gurtiss of Iowa is preparing
paper for publication showing the
results of experiments in calf raising
by skiminilk or separated milk. Gener-
ally speaking, the results have been
highly satisfactory. When Secretary
Wilson of the department of agriculture
was director of the Iowa experiment
station, some experiments were cons
Quoted of this character. Shorthorn
calves were taken as subjects and i'm
mediately upon being dropped were re-
moved from the cows and fed upon
warm, separated milk, fresh from the
milking. They were kept upon this diet
the usual time during which a calf is
allowed to suck and gradually changed
to a grain and grass diet When years
old, they averaged /, 400 pounds each,
and the cows bearing them had mean
time made over $50 pounds of butter
each per annum. Record was kept Of
the cost of the feed. CornmeaI was
found an excellent complement to the
skimmilk, the latter being rich in nitrog-
enous properties while the corn is rich
in carbohydrates, the two thus forming
a cheap and we'll balanced ration The
difference in cost lay in the fact that
the fat or oil in the corn was worth
about 1 cent per pound, whereas that

what Various Authorities Say ON the
Subject.

subject.
Hoard,s Dairyman says that there is
hardly place in which milk is used
that it will not pay to cool and aerate
it at the same time. Such milk brought
to the creamery OF cheese factory, if all
the patrons would practice it, would
show at once in the increased quality
of the product and the price. The diff
Guilty is that there are SO many patrons
who don't believe in any improvement
if it is. going to cost something to set it
at work, Yet wherever there is fac
tory or creamery that has prevailed on
its patrons to practice aeration and cool
ing that institution stands high in the
price received for its product.
Cornell experiment station in bulletin
No. SO published d table showing re-
suit of tests made to ascertain the keep
ing qualities of milk aerated by the
champion milk cooler and aerator in
comparison with milk aerated by a ma
chine for stirring and airing the milk
aud in comparison with milk neither
cooled nor aerated. The result showed
that the milk aerated and cooled by
stirring kept sweet no longer than the
unaefated milk. but that the milk aerat-
ed by the champion milk cooler kept
sweet in some instances IA hours Ion
ger. Summing up the results Of these
tests, Professor Wing said that towing to
the special conditions of cleanliness and
care in the Cornell dairy the result in
favor of such aeration was not nearly so
great as would be obtained under or
binary farm conditions. 81
The New York farmers institute
bulletin gives the following excellent
advice on this subject So do not be
misled by a few cranks who will tell
you that the aeration of milk is of no

! you that aerated milk will not remain

milk. Be not misled by these, we say,

The Wichita market yesterday was in
Ire with all the western markets. There
was the quotation given out of steady 10
&c lower. There was another opinion that
the trend was weak to 2l2c lower There
was good, strong demand for hogs of all
the several classes, and there were buy
ers for all that came in The total vol
ume of receipts was better than for any
day this week. The wagon trade and the
car shipments were both better and the
whole volume was better than for some
days, and yet very much below the call
from the several buying agencies. There
was weakness reported all along the
line and each Of the several western mar
kets sent out a quotation of lower ten
dency. There was also a falling off IN
the receipts at the different western mar
kets, and the local market more than
held its own both in point of receipts
Fnd in the strength of the market
Twelve cars of hogs crossed the scales,
and all Of these sold at once at the best
prices. The quality was generally good.
The average weight of the car hogs re-
ceived yesterday was 80 It was not a
heavy day in point of receipts, but the
run at this market was proportionately
an line with the rest. All hogs yarded
were at once bid upon and the buyers
gave for their purchases a strong and
Iberal price 1915 and 1886 marked the
bulk OF sales for the day, and this took
IN practically all the sales made during
the day, both wagon trade and cab ship
ments. 1t was notable fact that the
dockage was very light, there being Only
three cars out of the entire receipts OF
twelve cars to be charged with dockage
and only one bunch Of Z head of extra
heavies Of wagon trade locked. The day.
v lille very much below the demand. was
very fair and better than the other DAYS
o. the week, and seemed to show that the
shippers in the southwest were COM
mencing to realize that this was their
market for hogs
