In A Travelling Skinner.

AS is we'll known. the principal OBJ
lection to the skimming plant, IN the
view of the farmers, is the trouble of
taking the milk to the station in busy
seasons. 1t may be that solution OF
the problem is contained in the follow
ing, taken from an Iowa paper:
The Advance tells of this novelty in
the shape of a cream wagon run by the
Gingerichs on Deer Creek. The wagon
is fitted up with a small kerosene steam
engine, which operates little separa-
tor. The driver goes to the farm house,
the milk is brought out and run through
this separator, the cream taken to the
creamery. while the milk is left with
the farmer. This materially ightens
the hauler's load and saves toting the
milk to the creamery and back to the
farm house They say the plan works
fine

Days passed by, wife didn't return,
And John he sad aud sadder grew.

But one fair morning. bright and early,
When nature smiled bright and kind,
The wife which John did love so dearly
Most happily he CHANGED TO find
And John is happier now than ever,
And swears they ne'er again will part,
That naught but deaths cold hands shall sever
Him from the wife who only went on visit to

Some Hard Facts.

Poultry statistics are hard facts.
That is. they are not generally credited
by the disbeIievers. 1t is hard for the
general stock grower to understand
that the small hen has outstripped the
COW. hog and the sheep in profits, yet
the figures are there. It is difficult for
the growers of wheat or other cereals
to understand that the 'pesky old
COW" is turning in more than their fine,
large fields. 1t is hard to concede that
the iron industry, and in fact, all other
industries are getting hard knocks
from that frail little creature-the hen,
Yes it's SO. It's so if the experts of the
United States government station are
telling US the truth. They have facil-
tiles for finding out.-Poultry Farmer.
