Milk Dilution Separators.

Newspaper Bulletin No. II, Indiana
Experiment Station: Within the past
few months there has been introduced
10 the farmers of Indiana what is
termed a dilution cream separator.
Ih1s Is not separator as commonly
understood by dairymen, where cream
IS separated from milk by centrifugal
1orce, but is specially constructed
can, usually of large size, in which
cream separates from milk by rising
10 the surface, by the common gravity
process. The principle Of creaming in
th1s can, however, differs from that
usually performed in. the dairy,
through the mixing Of water with the
m1lk to assist the cream to rise. These
specially made cans have certain pc
cuhar1tles of construction and are ad-
Vertlsed by the makers as cream
separators." The cans of different
manufacturers differ in form and style,
out the principal feature with all is
TO MI the can partly full of new warm
mix and then at once add a large
quantity of cold water. This of course
o11utes the milk, perhaps 100 per cent.
IN this diluted condition, the claim OF
the manufacturers is, that the cream
VIII rise more completely and rapidly
tnan II not diluted; that in 20 to 80
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
tlon for two weeks carried on an ex-
pertinent On the influence of dilution
OF milk on efficiency of creaming. The
results of this work, as published in
bulletin A 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 milk
a poorer quality of skim milk for feed
ing is thereby produced. These result;
were in accordance with conclusion:
arrived at through similar experiment:
! at the Vermont, Cornell, Illinois an6
| Ontario college stations. The process!
of dilution was not to be recommended
as a general practice.

NEED SUPPLEMENTS NATURE.
Atavtsm Among Animals Accounts for
Their Distinctive Peculiarlties.

AtaV1em Among Animals accounts ZOE
Their Distinctive Pecultarities.
Students of natural history are well
have arrived by process of evolution
at their present state-that necessity
has endowed them with certain traits
that nature primarily denied them. One
of the closest of observers has reached
the conclusion that all such phenom-
ena may be explained on the ground of
atavism. Thus he claims that the horse
of our day derives his swiftness and
power of endurance from the fact that
his ancestors in former days were
obliged to flee from and frequently to
defend themselves against their ene-
mics, the wolves. In like manner he
claims that the reason why the horse
SHES is because his ancestors were
forced to be constantly on the alert
against hidden enemies, and that the
reason why he rears and plunges is be-
cause only by pursuing such tactics
could his forefathers shake off wild
animals who had leaped upon their
backs. Sheep when frightened imme-
diately rush off to the highest point
they can reach. The reason, says the
same author, is because all sheep orig
inally inhabited mountainous districts.
And this, he claims, is also the reason
why they wear a thick fleece of wool
all the year through, the summer tenn
perature in mountainous Districts be-
ing almost as cold as that of winter.
Finally, we are assured that the rea-
son sheep invariably follow a leader is
because their ancestors were obliged
to go in Indian file through the narrow
mountain passes. Pigs have also en-
gagged the Investigators attention. He
was puzzled for good while as to the
cause OF their grunting, but now he
thinks he has discovered the real rea-
son. The pigs of today, he says, evil
IDENTIFY grunt because their ancestors
made their homes in thick woods, and
only by making this sound could they
keep track of each other and guard
themselves against going astray from
the common herd. Commenting on
this latter explanation, scientist sug-
gests that DR.. Robinson might now do
we'll to spend some time in trying to
find out why the horse neighs and the
dog barks.

Manly Miles: These are the two
largest geese known; they are very
compact in body, dignifled in carriage,
quiet and gentle in disposition When
3 years old and well fattened they will
frequently weigh forty-fve to fifty
pounds per pair, sometimes reaching
as high as sixty pounds per pair. They
will lay from thirty to forty eggs in a
season and seldom sit. Their feathers
are valuable, of which they yield about
half a pound at a picking. The gos-
lings are more hardy than the common
variety and grow very rapidly, fire.

the geese and gander are alike, but
can be distinguished by the form and

About the Poultry Yard.

The element of beauty; should not
be lost sight of in the breeding OF
poultry. Certainly the good-looking
hen is not likely to LAY any more eggs
than the unsightly one. Nevertheless,
there is, real value in having flock
uniform in color and markings, and
withal beautiful. The young especially
are stimulated by the beauty of the
fowls to take an interest in them. This
interest may develop into something
of value to the ones that are moved
by it.
Feed up the poultry for moulting
time. A well-fed flock will sometimes
molt SO easily that the process will be
hardly noticed, and will even continue
to drop few eggs every day. 1t is
often easy to get meat from the
slaughter houses. When pigs or hogs
are killed there are waste portions that
may be cooked and kept for few days.
This will greatly stimulate the pro-
duction of new feathers and will cor
respondingly relieve the strain on the
system.
We notice in a poultry paper the ex-
preston of the editor, Never, never,
never, feed soft messes of any kind
To US this appears rather queer sug-
gestion. 1t is queer in the light OF
modern experience, which seems to
have demonstrated that the soft mess
Is a great boon to the poultry, espe-
cially if they have been for months
confined to a grain ration. Many OF
our most successful poultrymen feed
soft food once day the year round,
and find it of great advantage. The
writer of this always had trouble with
indigestion in his fowls before he
adopted the plan of giving the fowls
a breakfast of cooked or scalded
ground food. Since that time, period
of five years, no indigestion has ap-
peared, and he attributes that fact en-
tirely to the fact that the whole-grain
ration was in part supplanted by a
food that required less work by the
digestive organs of fowls.

BUSINESS during the past weeI
has continued active. There has
been a between seasons stacking o,
new demand in some departments
and an increase in orders in others,
but taken as whole, the situation
shows volume of business which
surpasses all previous records tor
the time of year. Business failures
during the past week, according to
r. G. Dunn & Co., numbered 158 in
the United States and % in Canada
against 238 in this country and %
in Canada during the corresponding
week last year.
The crop situation is generally
favorable, although the season is
late. There has been no particular
activity in the home trade demand
for cotton goods, but fair business
has been done; and values have
been well supported, with an up-
ward tendency noted IN some lines.
In the iron and steel trade big
schemes Of industrial consolidation
and their possible effect upon trade
and prices are expressing attention
but the volume of new business in
both crude and finished products is
much smaller than It was few
weeks ago. The price situation
continues generally strong. =

THOSE SUPPRESSED PAMPHLETS

No answer was made to this letter
except to send an official COPY to the
postmaster general, who issued in
structions to the postmaster at San
Francisco to hold the pamphlets. The
spirit and design Of the pamphlets will
be indicated by few extracts. In ono

Lest others should be entrappsd in

only be fair and honest on the part

"The way has already become plain

Mr.. Atkinson not only speaks thus

yet be recognized. and rightly recog-
