Speed of separators.

G. B. Fulmer says: A separator
should always be brought up to speed
very gradually. The time necessary to
do this will be from six to ten minutes.
We have seen the flow of milk started
in a separator in less than two minutes
after the belt has been started on the
intermediate. The practice of such
quick starting should be discouraged,
as aside from the undue strain given
to the separator spindle and bearings
it is an unnecessary strain on the belts
leading to the machine. With a slow
er starting of the moving parts in the
bearings, the oil is given a better
chance to lubricate the wearing sur
face, a smaller amount will be re-
CURED to do the work, and the useful
ness of the belts greatly prolonged. At
ter the proper speed has been obtained
it should remain constant at this point,
as any material t1uctuation will inlu-
ence the Swimming and the consisten-
cy of the cream.
The speed of a separator bowl should
never be much greater than that recon-
mended by the manufacturers. While
there is a large factor of safety al
lowed above the speed stamped on the
machine, we are verging nea the dan
ger point when we go much above it.
The amount of friction is increased as
the square of the speed. For instance
it we double the speed of a shaft, we
increase the friction on the oils four
times. The strain on the separator
bowls can be well understood from the
following supposed case. We will take
a separator with a bowl twelve inches
in diameter with a required speed of
5000 revolutions per minute, which
will give us a centrifugal force of 6,13C.
II we increase the speed Of the same
bowl to 1000 revolutions per minute,
we will have a centrifugal force of
8,343. In other words while we have
increased the speed one-sixth we have
increased the centrifugal force one-
third. Looking at this question from
the efficiency of the separators with
the same bowl, we find that if by rea-
son of small pulleys or slack belts, we
lose speed from 5000 to 5000 revolu-
tons per minute, we lose the centri-
fugal force from $3.50 to 4,257, or by
decreasing the speed one-siXth we de-
crease the dreaming force one-third.
From this we see the necessity of run
ming separators at their proper speed.

The Future of Range Cattle.

T. f. B. Sotham of Chillicothe. Mo.
contributed an interesting paper on
the future of range cattle, at the re-
cent meeting of live stock breeders in
Detroit. Mr.. Sotham said that calves
could be raised cheaper up to weaving
time on the range than anywhere else.
But when they were wintered over
they would not weigh as much in the
spring as in the previous fall. The
calves could not sustain themselves
like older cattle. He thought that
eventually range calves would be ship
ped in the fall to the cultivated farms
of the western and middle states to be
matured and fitted for market. This
would save time, as there would not
be six months lost in the growth of the
calves as at present. In this way the
ranges and cultivated farms could keep
up a profitable business, the range men
raising the calves till six months old.
up to which time they sucked their
dams n grew as fast as they would
anywhere, and then selling them. to
farmers and feeders who were pre-
pared to carry them through the win
ter and keep them growing. The range
men would also have to depend upon
the breeders in the older states to keep
up the quality of their herds. They
must keep steadily improving their
herds by the use of the best bulls of
the beef breeds. AS the breeding of
these range herds improved, the quail
ity of the bulls selected would have to
improve also, and naturally prices like
wise.

LAwYER OBJECTED
To 8 Question Because the Witness Was
HypnOtfzed by Counsel.


The other day I objected to a GER
tain question put during the cross-ex-
animation of a witness in a case in
which | was engaged" said one of the
busiest of New Orleans lawyers. II
objected on the ground that the ques-
ton was leading and also because it
was irrelevant to the cause at action.
but those were not my real reasons.
II | had framed exactly what was in
my mind l would have said: I object
to that question because the attorney
who put it is a hypnotist, and already
has the witness under such control as
to render the answer thoroughly
worthless. Yes, I am entirely in earn
est. The witness was a weak, hysteri-
cal woman, and the lawyer to whom l
refer is a man of great physical vigor
and masterful, imperious temperament.
Before he began the cross-examination
he held up his finger and cried out
sternly: Look at me, madam! Look
at mel The poor, 1uttering witness
stared at him like a fascinated bird,
and at the exact psychological mo-

little brain was empty of everything
except the compelling force of his
presence, he fired his first question at
her, like a bullet from a gun. As a
matter of course, she answered pre-
cisely what he wanted her to answer,
and the whole examination was as
palpable an exhibition of hypnotic
control as you would find this side Of
Charcot's Clinic. I couldn't swear that
this lawyer is conscious of the power
he exercises, but from the way he goes
about it | am inclined to believe that
he is, and there are others in the pro-
fession who are almost equally dex-
ferrous. We used to call that sort of
thing personal magnetism, but it is
really hypnotism, pure and simple, and
by and by, when we come to under
stand such phenomena better, some
sort OF enforced limits will unques-
tionably be placed on it's manifestation.
It's pretty hard to hold ones own
against an antagonist who can make a
pipe of a witness brain and play any
tune pon it that he pleases ."-New

Probably the shape Of the eggs was
originally longer than at present, for
now frequently we have hens that lay
very long eggs. This would seem to
be the result, of the operation of the
laws of atavism. Long eggs are not
SO acceptable to the buyer or eater as
eggs of an oval shape, and an egg that
is too round is as Objectionable as the
long egg. True, this is but a notion,
but it is as easy to have a w~ell-shaped
egg as any other kind, as this can be
secured by selecting only ~well-shaped
eggs for Matching purposes.
The average number of eggs that
can be got from a flock of hens is very
much less than the number that can
be got from a few of the good hens. We
frequently see tables published giving
the number of eggs that each individ-
ual of a certain breed is supposed to
lay in a year. But the people that have
kept egg records have found that
these figures are ideal-that they do
not represent the facts in the case. Yet
we doubt not that they represent pos
sibilities that may be made facts in
many of our iocks. The f1ocks are
kept down in capacity by the constant
breeding with no system. If there be
a number of hens that lay but loo
eggs each during the year, their eggs
are as likely to get under the sitter
as the eggs from the hen that lays 20(
during the year. If we had some
method of knowing the poorest fowls
and killing them off each year We
would soon have focks with larger lay.

WAS a 8 FUNERAL.
Even if Aunt Lucy Did Not Know the
Dsparted.

Dsparted.
A week ago last Thursday when
Aunt Lucy picked UP her paper and
glanced over the death notices, she ex-
claimed in a voice that was checked
with emotion: my goodness! Here's
Henry Johnson dead! My, my, my! I
wonder who'll be the next to go? /
used to know his cousin Fannie Gar
wood SO well! I suppose it will be no
more than the proper thing for me to
90 to the funeral. And they live away
over on the South Side, too. It'll take
all day to get there and back. Still
there is a duty we owe to Jul friends
that must not be passed over lightly"
So on the following day Aunt Lucy
put on her most sombre clothes and
started early. The funeral sermon was
fine, and Aunt Lucy sat behind a cor
ner of the piano upon a register that
was almost red-hot, and %perspired and
wept and got a stitch in her side. The
singing was lovely, the corpse looked
as natural as life, n after it was all
over Aunt Lucy started home, declar-
ing to herself that it was one of the
most enjoyable funerals she had ever
attended. Her railroad fare amounted
to nearly half a dollar, and she spent
20 cents for lunch before starting on
the trip home, but she didn't regret it
in the least. She had received the
worth of her money, and more, too.
AS luck would have it, Aunt Lucy
met Mr.. Johnson's cousin Fannie on
Sunday morning at church. Mrs. Gar
wood had come back on a visit from
Cincinnati, where she has lived during
the past seven years, and naturally
took the first opportunity to hear her
dear old pastor preach again. tits
queer / didn't see you at the funeral"
Aunt Lucy said, after the first gush
of their greeting. What f~uneral?"
why, your cousin Henry Johnson's,
Thursday afternoon" II don't under
stand what you mean. My cousin
Henry Johnson died three years ago
on the way to Japan, and was buried
at sea-" For the moment Aunt Lucy
looked indignant, but upon reflection
she said: well it was a good fun
eral, and as long as it happened as it
did there's no use being put out, es-
pecially as I'll never have a chance to
go to the right one now, anyway

Poisoned by Sorghum.

r. S. Hiltner, Of the Nebraska exper-
iment station says:
"Stockmen frequently suffer losses of
cattle from pasturing them on sorghum
In a few herds in the state the losses
last year were heavy, but the total
number of fatalities was not alarming
ly large. An unusually large acreage
of cane was pastured last season, SO
that the loss sustained was relatively
small, Judging from reports received.
Just what the cause of the trouble
is has never been ascertained. The
prevailing opinion is that a virulently
poisonous substance is sometimes de-
veloped by the growing plant. Many
symptoms shown by the afflicted cat
tie tend to. sustain such an opinion.
The animals bloat but little. They
apparently suffer terribly and die very
suddenly. Post norton examinations
are reported to show LESSONS in the
stomach, the membranes turning
black.
"A sample case that had produced
fatal results was obtained and subject
ed to a careful chemical analysis. All
efforts, however, to isolate and identify
poisonous matter failed utterly. Al
though an effort was made to detect
the presence of toxic substances In
small quantities, it was assumed thai
refined delicate tests for traces Of
such poison were really unnecessary
from the nature Of the case. A pol
son that will kill a full grown ANNA
in ten or fifteen minutes must neces'
sarily be present, in relatively large
proportions. The analysis showed only
a trace of potassium nitrate. Cultures
made to develop toxic bacteria from
the sample gave negative results. The
leaves and stems of the material
seemed to be free from parasitic
growth. No poisonous matter, thai
might have been applied purposely tc
the leaves, was detected.
"All the data collected indicates
plainly that first growth sorghum may
prove, at times, to be just as fatal as
second growth. This e~ontroverts the
prevailing popular impression but facts

a view. 1t is in harmony with what Is
known of the chemistry of all plants
The chemical substances found in plan
tissues are characteristic of the plan
and are found in it in it's various
stages of growth.
"The results of the investigation in,
dicate then, first, that in sorghum
there is no inherent chemical poison
and second, that second growth cane
of itself, is no more injurious than frs
growth. The fact that so many fatal
ities occur prove that there is an ele
ment of danger in using sorghum TO
pasturage, and that considerable car
should be taken in feeding it. Stock
men generally, are agreed that hungr,
cattle should not be turned on to sorg
hum pasture, even for a short time"

Advices from England quote finest
Danish butter at p and % cents. This
is why Americans can not hope to get
a foothold in that market. The prices
there for the best butter are much
lower than for the best butter in this
country. 1t is impossible to take good
butter at the price it brings in this
country, pay shipping charges to Eng
land and sell it there at the same price
thai best Danish sells at.

Reports from New York and other
eastern cities indicate that the demand
for butter is to be good through prac-
tically the whole summer. Old stocks
are exhausted, and the new stock must
not only supply the demand for con-
sumers' use but from the new supply
must come the cold storage goods that
are to be held yer till next winter.
An advance of one and two cents at
this time therefore indicates a good
deal.

Poultry Notes.

The food that fowls get has some
thing to do with the fertility of the
eggs. 1t is entirely reasonable to sup
pose that a well-balanced ration will
put the bird in better condition for the
production of fertile eggs than any
other. Food that contains too much
of the carbohydrates is very likely to
have an influence against the fertility
of the eggs
The egg producing capacity of a flock
can be built up only by years of con-
slant attention. 1t is true that by high
feeding the egg producing power of
fowls is increased, and it might be
thought that pullets from eggs so pro-
duced would have the ability to lay
more eggs than the ordinary hen. Yet
poultry raisers tell us that such is not
the fact; that this forcing seems to
react on the subsequent generation.
W. do not doubt that this is true. 1t
takes many generations to establish in
improved habit of any kind.
The shape of the hens eggs is doubt
less due to generations of unconscious
selection. Most of our eggs have a.
certain plumpness, and this is the kind
that Is usually selected for setting.

Butter makers in Pennsylvania are
incensed at what they believe to be a
betrayal of their interests by the dairy
and food commissioner and the secre-
tary of agriculture of that state. They
claim hat the officials have been Sec
reilly working in the interests of the
oleo manufacturers instead of enforc-
ing the laws. A large convention of
butter makers passed. resolutions call
ing upon the governor to remove the
dairy and food commissioner and
passed resolutions of censure against
the secretary of agriculture.

Last year Denmark exported 49,
100000 pounds of butter. The amount
shipped to Great Britain was 1879, $780,
900 pounds, and Germany received
5000, 900 pounds. To all other coun-
tries were shipped 100000 pounds.
Denmark could never have accomp-
lished this had it not been that the
government supervision is so strict
that the reputation of the purity of
Danish butter is preserved. Once let
the oleomargarine makers have the
power to ship their product to London
as finest Danish and the market for
Danish butter would disappear. When
reputation is so valuable, certainly it
is within the province of government
to prevent it's destruction by counter
feits.

river ever this ledge of rock is a sight
worth seeing.
In some places the water pours over
in dense and irresistible volume, while
at other points a shallow stream will
spray itself over a higher table of rock.
On the upper Ottawa are floated booms
of logs which feed the large lumber in
dustries of that region. Handling these
wet loss is a treacherous business, and it
is easy to lose ones foothold and fall
into the swift stream. Accidents of this
Kind occur frequently. The only case
that did not have fatal termination is
the one referred to here.
The man was busy forking these logs
with those sharp prongs used to swing
them about and draw them in, when he
missed his footing and fell into the river
Though a strong swimmer he could not
Withstand the current and was swept out
into the stream and on toward the falls.
Nearing the falls he found himself still
conscious and 1t happened that he was
being hoated over one of those tables of
rock where the water is so shallow that
he felt himself touched He struggled to
regain his feet, and was successful IN SO
doing. so that he found himself standing
in perhaps a foot of rushing water at
the brink of the cataract, a great tor
rent surgipg by him on every hand.
But it seemed hopeless. He saw no
way OF getting TO Snore, and no one from
the shore could get to him. Many peo-
pie on the banks of the river were
watching him and trying to study out
some plan to save him. Finally, a large
derrick was brought to bear, such as
is used-in building operations. A great
arm with ropes was swung out over the
torrent, and wbep ne man had fastened
himself securely with the ropes he was
raised up high and swung in, just as a
large stone WOill6 he raised in construct
