Cream Separation.

I had occasion to visit a butter fac
tory where the separating of cream
from milk was going on, and as the
inspector was about to make test
Of the skimmilk remained to see
the result, says a correspondent of
Farm and Home. The test showed
one-tenth of per cent butter fat re-
naming. This the inspector told me
was very good skimming. Arriving
home, I sat down to figure out what
the loss of one-tenth of 1 per cent
meant to the farmers who were sup
plying the milk of 600 cows to the fac
tory. Putting the average test at 4
per cent and the income per COW for
the season at $35, find the loss per
COW S71a cents, for a herd of 20 cows
$3.50 and for the 600 $525. I would
strongly advise farmers to look into
this, as there are separators which if
properly run by competent man will
remove all the butter fat from the
milk, or, at most, showing only slight
trace in the test bottle. Dairymen can
not afford to lose the apparently small
loss Of one-tenth Of per cent.

wheat was fed to one set of lambs,
ing two sets received mill screenings.
No. screenings is that which comes
from the elevator first, and this con-
tains clover seeds, alfalfa seeds and
the seeds from weeds of various kinds,
while No. 2 screenings is made up
mostly of cracked, broken and shrunk-
en- wheat.
The roughage used in the experiment
was the same in all Of the sets-a good
quality Of alfalfa hay.
The sets on both grades of screenings
made better gains than that on good
wheat and one Of them better and the
other almost as good as the frozen
wheat set.
Taking into account both the rate and
the cost of the gains, the results of
this experiment indicate that it is
more profitable to feed screenings than
either good or frosted wheat.
The frozen wheat used in this ex-
pertinent was Of medium grade, nei-
ther the highest nor the lowest, and it
gave better returns in rate of gain than
wheat Of good milling quality. This
result agrees with that obtainable at
the Canadian experiment station, where
it is often found necessary to dispose
of large quantities of frozen wheat.
From the standpoint of composition
taken as a whole, the better grade of
frozen wheat ranks little inferior for
stock feeding to that fully ripened.
The composition of both kinds of
screenings shows a high feeding value,
though the large percentage of crude
fiber indicates that they are less digest
ible than any of the wheats.
On account Of the numerous fine
seeds the first screenings contain, they
will give better results fed to sheep
than to cattle and pigs. ST..
In Manitoba and other portions Of
Canada, where there are frequently
large quantities of frozen wheat, it has
been tested, ground and soaked for IL
hours before use. One hundred pounds
of frozen wheat were found equal to
791 pounds Of skimmilk in increasing
the live weight of pigs. The pork was
considered excellent, much superior to
that Of hogs fed on peas alone. The
quality of beef from steers fed on fro
zen wheat was pronounced to be partic-
ularly excellent by the butchers and
by the members Of eight different
households who examined it critically
when served as roast beef.
The various feeding trials indicate
frozen wheat to be practically equal
to a mixture of wheat, oats and barley
for hog feeding and to stand very high
as a concentrated food for fattening
cattle.

How to Get a Good Lot of COws-Help
ON the Farm.
With hundred cows there should be
eight to ten mixers, but not necessari-
~ all men, and most of them not giving
the cows. As an average one man can
milk about eight cows in an hour. says
Hoard's Dairyman. A dairy farmer of
many years experience estimates that
milking and other matters connected
with the immediate care of the cows
and their product require the labor Of
one man for each 20 cows.
1t is quite possible by persistent and
intelligent selection to get paying
herd Of milk cows by indiscriminate
purchase and constant disposal of such
as fail to milk proftably. To this end
a careful record should be kept of the
daily production of each COW for the
whole year and by using full blood
dairy sire for the best cows raise a
herd of first class dairy cows. 1t is not
for us to specify which of the dairy
breeds TO select. In fact, breed is of
less Importance than strict dairy inner
itance and potency. In buying dairy
bull look well to the performance of his
dam and grandams. his sisters and his
aunts.
Our personal experience and the tes-
timony Of the most successful dairy
farmers in all parts of the country
lead irresistibly to the conclusion that
it will pay to build a silo.

VEAL OR BUTTER?
Most Profitable Way OF Raising

! Calves Discussed.
In answer to query as to the most
profitable disposition of calves The Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer says:
The kind of cows man owns will
largely govern. Some have herds that
will raise calves and fatten them well
and not be worth the food they eat if
the milk be made into butter. Again,
| If butter is made at home the facilities
may not be such that butter can be
made at profit with the best butter
cows on earth. Milk must be properly
handled to get good butter from it, and
this requires skill and knowledge or
an undesirable butter will be made
| which is more valuable to take to the
country store and swap for kerosene
and calico than. to sell on the market
| for cash. Again, to make veal calves
proftably calves must be supplied so
as fast as one becomes fat and the
market good it can be sold and another
found to take its place at a small cost
| The profits will be slim if the COW can
| make only one calf year, for bear in
mind c yea. is one thing and calf an
| other. After calf becomes weeks
or months old it is no longer veal, but
baby beef, and will only sell for calf
price, which is always from to 4
cents less per pound than veal prices.
These are matters to be considered by
each and every one for himself. and it
does not always indicate that because
one man succeeds remarkably in fat
tening veal calves any and all men can.
| One may have tact, skill and ability to

farming and could not in butter MAX
| ing, and vice versa. The veal calf man
would not do it with butter cows with
calves bred along the same line. Nei-
ther would the butter man make sue
cess with cows bred for raising the
best of veal calves.
| No, skim separator milk won't fatten
a veal. With supplement of haxseed

Not Portable.

During one of his expeditions in the
Philippines General Lawton came
across the trail Of party of Filipinos,
which he followed for several days
with small body Of troops. One day
he and his staff reached the top of a
small eminence and saw river stretch
ing below them but a short distance
ahead. :. Turning to one Of his aids, the
general said, Lieutenant, ride ahead
and see if that river is fordable.''
The lieutenant put spurs to his horse
and soon entered the river. A few feet
from the shore the bottom shelved off
suddenly, and the horse was soon f1oun-
der1ng in deep water. The lieutenant
disengaged himself and swan to the
shore, which the horse also reached in
a short time. After a brief chase, to
the amusement Of the general and the
staff, the horse was recaptured, and,
mounting him, the lieutenant rode back.
His khaki uniform was soaked and
bedraggled, and the water spurted
from the tops Of his military boots at
every jump Of his horse. Riding up to
the general, he gravely saluted and
said, Il have the honor to report, sir,
that the river is not fordable.''
LaWton looked at him moment try
ing to maintain the dignity Of his posi-
ton, but the situation was too ludi-
crous for him. He burst into hearty
laugh, In which the staff joined at the
expense OF the young lieutenant, who,
however. tells the story on himself.
Nassau's Lake of Fire.

s'Down near Nassau, for example,
there is a curious sheet of water known
as the Lake Of Fire that is worth going
far to see. Tt is simply a phosphor-
escent lake, but it's weird effects cling
to ones recollection in an uncanny
way. It is about three miles from the

tween the posts which still mark the
entrance down grass grown roadway
to the edge Of this wonderful pond.
The water is only few feet deep, and
the pond is scarcely quarter of mile
long. We stepped into rowboat by
the dim light of a lantern, and in a mo-
ment as the boat pushed off and the
oars broke the water INTO ripples, we
were surrounded by sea of fame The

of this phosphorescence is more like
smoke than water. 1t reminds one of

stealing a Court secret.

Once when Justice w. of the United
States supreme court reached Pitts
burg on circuit a Mr.. Wright enter
tanned him. There was a case pending
then in the supreme court which in
volved the values of two stocks. The
decision was certain to make one of
the stocks valueless and the other val
liable. It was considered an even
chance which way the decision would
go. The lawyers in the case had set
tied it in their minds that if Justice B.
were to write the decision it would be
in their favor. The justice was noted
for writing long decisions. The ma
jority of the men on the bench at that
time wrote briefly. Justice W. was en-
tertained at dinner at Mr.. Wright's
house. After the dinner Justice w. be
came companionable and good natured.
In the midst of conversation about
the court and it's work Mr.. Wright
said to Justice W.. mentioning the case
In which he was Interested. II suppose
that the decision in that case will BE a
long one. there being so many points
involved" ".As long as the moral law,
my boy" said the old justice as he
smiled benevcipntly upon his host.
That was all that be said upon the sub
ject. Nh Wright. however. knew from
this remark that it was the particular
justice who wrote long decisions who
was preparing the one in this case.
This gave him the cue for the deci-
sion, and he bought stock based upon
this judgment. 1t proved correct, and
he gained exactly 100000 from this
careless remark Of the too amiable JUS
tice.
