CREAM SEPARATORS.
Their Advantages For Farmers With
Few Cows.

q Few COWS.
Cream separatOrs were not thought
much of until recently, says William
Swan in The Prairie Farmer. Now
their use is becoming widely spread
over the entire west Every farmer
who has six or more cows is obliged to
have a separator in order to get good
results from dairying, either on large
or small scale. The time is coming
and is near at hand when every farmer
who has few or many cows to milk
will have a cream separator. Still
there are any number of farmers yet
who do not realize how much profit
they are losing every day by not using
q separator. They have heard others
tell of their experience with a separa-
tor, but paid little attention only for
the time being. One thing they object
to is paying such an exorbitant price,"
as they term it, for separator, but
they do not hesitate moment at the
price of any other piece of machinery
used on the farm. The cream separa-
tor is used more than any other ma
chine on the farm, you might say, as it
Is used twice a day 365 days in the
year, and it brings in more dollars
than any other machine. Of course
there are other machines that must go
hand in hand with the separator. /
wish could impress upon the mind Of
the farmer who has not a cream sepa-
rator this thought-that whatever you
do you wish to receive as great COM
pensation as you believe you have hon.
estly earned. Now, you earn more
than you really get for your milk at
present. You must remedy that leak
as quickly as possible for your own
special benefit. 1 am not an agent for
separators, as some may suppose, but
would merely give some facts as re-
CARDS them. The cream separator that
will separate all of the cream and only
the cream from the milk is the kind to
buy. Here are a few benefits to be de-
rived from the use of the separator:
First, you can get the cream out of the
milk Immediately after milking, and
thus you will only have to care for the
cream; then the skimmilk can be fed
in it's sweet, warm state to the calves
and pigs; second, the milk becomes
cleansed from all particles of dirt when
separated third, the finest butter is
made from the cream, and it will COM
mand the highest market price.

Skim I'M iIIx as an Insect Destroyer,

It may not be generally known that
skimmilk or buttermilk readily mixes
with kerosene, forming an emulsion
which destroys insects without the
danger Of injury to animals or plants
on which they might be that might re-
suit from the use of the pure oil or of
oil and water. We first learned of this
from using this mixture for the scale
insect, or mite, which causes scaly legs
on fowl. We found that one or two
clippings or washings with it would
cure the worst case Of scaly leg and
leave the skin as smooth as when first
hatched We never had occasion to
try it for lousy animals, for we never
had one, but we do not hesitate to rec
ommend it, and we have lately seen it's
use advised for ticks on sheep, using a
gill of kerosene to one gallon of milk.
We did not make our mixture so strong
Of kerosene as that, but perhaps the
larger tick may need a stronger appli-
cation than an insect so small as to be
scarcely visible to the naked eye.-

A heavy storm swept over this section
M onday night, which for time looked
like genuine tornado and many timid
ones took to their cellars until all dan
ger was over. The damage, however,
was light. The wind mill of the G, M &
st Ky 20 was blown down and the
chimney on Robe BOWS residence was
demolished. A large tobacco shed con-
tanning two acres of the new crop be-
longing to John Evans, was completely
wrecked entailing heavy loss on Mr.
Evans. Mrs Peter Guam also suffered
the loss of part of her tobacco barn.
Several other barns in different direc-
tons were more or less damaged. At
Kegonsa lake the wind was terrific.
While buildings stood the pressure, boat
houses, piers and boats suffered most.
A large number of boats were lifted
bodily from the water and pounded to
pieces. Jake Torgeson's electric launch
was dragged across the bay and left
high and dry on the opposite side
without damage.

How OIeO Is Made.

Notwithstanding the protests of the
oleo trust and it's friends in congress,
the various formulas for making oleo-
margarine have been made public, and
they are at least interesting, says the
Philadelphia North American.
One of the processes for making the
kind of butter that is sold in Pennsyl-
vania as a dairy product is thus de-
scribed in the patent Office records:
"The process consists in first forming
a soap emulsion of the fats or fatty
oils with caustic soda; then precipi-
tate the lyes; then applying chlorinat-
ed alkaline I've or chlorinated gas to
the soap emulsion"
That sounds like a recipe for making
soft SOAP but when the color is added
the result is gilt edge creamery" but

On Thursday, Aug 10Th, 1890. Oswald
Kravick aged % years and one month,
died at the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs Lars Kravick, in the town of Chris
tiana. The young man was sick only
four days. On the Saturday previous to
his death he attended an ice cream So
cial and on his way home complained of
not feeling we'll but the following day
was up an around until after dinner
when he was obliged to go to bed and
from that time he rapidly grew worse

The cause of death appendicitis.
After suffering for about ten weeks
with consumption of the stomach, John
l. Severson laid down the cares of this
life at $3.50 o'clock Thursday morning,
Aug %, 1900 at his home in this village,
aged So years, 4 months and days.
Mr. Severson was born in Sogen, Nor
way, April IA, 1912, and in 1866 he came
to America, settling at Koshkonong. In
1863 he enlisted in the 18th Iowa In
fantry and served until the close of the
war, being honorably discharged. On
the 18th of July, 1868, he was united in
marriage to Miss Susan Hermanson,
from which union four children were
born three of whom survive with their
mother to mourn the loss of kind faith
er and husband. Four years he was
elected treasurer and two years chair
man of the town of Christiana. He was
also chosen commander of the G. A r
Post in this village one year and has al
ways been an enthusiastic member of
the order. In 1892 the republicans in
county convention nominated him by
reclamation for county treasurer. All
the public duties entrusted to him were
honorably and faithfully discharged and
in his death the village looses an honor

No dietetic reform would be more
conducive to improve health among
children, and especially to the proven
ton of tuberculosis, than an increase
in the consumption of butter, says an
exchange Our children are trained to
take butter with great restraint and
are told that it is greedy and extrav-
agant to eat much of it. 1t is regarded
as a luxury and as giving a relish to
bread rather than in itself a most i'm
portant article Of food. Even in pri-
vate families of the weather. classes
these rules prevail at table, and at
schools and at public boarding estab-
lishments they receive strong re-en-
forcements from economical motives.
Minute allowances of butter are served
out to those who would gladly con-
sumo five times the quantity. Where
the house income makes this q matter
of necessity there is little more to be
said than that it is often a costly
economy. Enfeebled health may easily
entail far heavier expense than a
more liberal breakfast would have
done.
Cod liver oil costs more than butter,
and it is, besides, often not resorted to
until too late. Instead of restricting a
child's consumption of butter, encour-
age it. Let the limit be the power Of
digestion and the tendency to bilious
ness. Most children may be allowed
to follow their own inclinations and
will not take more than is good for
them. The butter should be of the
best and taken cold. Bread, dry
toast, biscuits, potatoes and rice are
good vehicles.

Rise of the Creamerv.

Prior to 1872 no such thing as a
creamery or butter factory had been
known, says the Washington Post.
who were we'll provided with pure
water, mountain pastures and other
favorable conditions, had provided the
cities with small percentage of good
butter at an early day, and Herkimer
and Orange counties, n. Y, extended
the art and developed great interest in
cheese, as we'll as butter making: The
Western Reserve of Ohio. followed
these. and in this limited area prior to
1872 was produced all the fine butter
worth naming. All the butter coming
from the great west was denOminated
in the markets as western grease"
Think of all the Fox river country Of
Illinois and it's broad prairies every
where, likewise Iowa, whose butter
and cheese product today, added to it's
home consumption, equals $5O,O00,OO0!
Think of all this being of the lowest
grade Of stuff. But in 1872 John Stew
art of Manchester. Ia, invented a
creamery The world had never known
butter factory. On Spring Branch,
where was plenty of spring water, he
erected a building and began to buy the
milk from his neighbors. In 1876 he
showed up at Philadelphia and took
the worlds prize for fine butter It
opened everybody's eyes, and it opened
up new resources in the west. Iowa
today has over $50 creameries and
nearly 100 cheese factories. Other
states we'll situated have made similar
improvements.

had just made a half moon in a piece

AUSTRALIANS CANNIBAL TREE
DESTROYS IT'S HUMAN PRFY

Mrs. Ellis Rowan of Melbourne, Aus
tralla, who is at present in New York,
and who has travelled more extensive
ly in the cannibal country than any
other European woman, has told re-
Gently Of the existence in Australia of
a forest tree which is perhaps one of
the most wonderful plants Of nature.
1t will hold in its center and devour
the body Of a man quite as readily as
our inSectivOrOus wild flowers trap the
insects on which they partly subsist.
The tree is called the cannibal tree.
As Mrs. Rowan describes ii, its aD-
pearance may be imagined TO resemble
a mammoth pineapple which often
reaches to the height Of eleven feet.
Its foliage is composed of a series of
broad, bOard-lilSe leaves, growing in a
fringe at its apex. Instead, however,
Of standing erect, as does the little
green tuft at the top Of a pineapple,
these leaves droOp over and hang to the
ground. In the largest specimens they
are often from fifteen TO twenty feet
long, and strong enough TO bear the
weight of man. Hidden under these
curious leaves is to be found a peculiar
growth Of spear like formations, ar
ranged in a circle and which perform
the same function for the plant as do
pistils for flowers. They can not, how
ever abide to be touched.
