BELIEVES IN THE FARM SEPARATOR.

BELIEVES IN THE FARM SEPARATOR.
In the Practical Farmer dairyman
with fourteen Jersey cows gives his rea-
sons for using q hand separator. He
says:
81 give facts, not guesswork. Where
| used to haul 800 pounds Of whole milk
to the creamery | now haul about 100
of cream, and | get about the same
money for it, while have all the fresh,
warm skim milk twice day to feed my
calves and pigs, and, oh, how they enjoy
it! also had to send the whole milk
while it was fresh and sweet every day,
because if sour the creamery would re-
fuse it, and when hauled home it was fit
only for hog feed. But now can put
the cream in my dairy house and send
only three times week. And again, the
skim milk returned from the creamery
in summer was sour slOp, fit only for
pigs; while the fresh, warm milk Is ex-
cellent for calves and pigs.
There is quite difference In hauling,
for when had to deliver five or six cans
of whole milk, it took strong milk
wagon and man, but now il am busy
my wife or the girls can take the single

pleasant drive to take one can OF cream
to the factory and bring an empty can
back.
"Then as to washing and caring for
milk vessels, what difference 1t makes
no one can know until he tries it, not
taking any account of the actual cash
outlay for the number Of vessels neces-
sary for the handling of the whole
milk.
II hesitated when l thought Of the
price of the separator, but | bought 1t on
payments extending twelve months, and
now | am satisfied that the benefit to my
calves and pigs for feeding fresh, warm
skim milk for the year is equal In value
to the cost of the separator, taking no
account of the almost certain losses sus-
tanned every year by feeding calves the
stale, sour slop returned from the
creamery"

The boards upon rhtch he had stepped
had been ldtd across q hole.
boards upon which he had stepped had
been laid across hole in the floor
about four feet across, the mouth, so
he supposed, of well. But 1t was too
dark for very close investigation.
BY the side of this covered hole
there was a little mound Of some white
substance, chalk or lime, as he sup
posed. and in a corner Of the clubhouse
there was another and much larger
white heap. Tom had apparently been
engaged in carrying the white sub
stance from the heap in the corner to
the heap by the hole in the floor.
This was the result Of Masson's in
vestigations. when he found the light
from the doorway blocked out by 8
human figure and, turning, found that
the old woman was looking In at him.
Now, although he was in such deep
shadow that to an ordinary eye he
would have been unseen, Mason ei.
ther knew or fancfed that the old wo-
man could see him as we'll as If he
had been in the broad light Of the sun.
She stood for q few seconds without
uttering a word, and when he ad-
vanced toward. her, impatient Of that
ugly, crooked figure silhouetted against
the dim light, with the unb!inking
black eyes fixed, as he felt, upon him,
she gave forth the first sound he had
ever heard from her lips, a harsh,
faint, croaking chuckle, which was q
very mockery Of laughter.
Mason turned colder than he was
before it and, springing past her into
the warm kitchen, drew long breath
Of relief.
There was another ugly moment to
be laid in his record Of his time at the
farmhouse. Wet and cold from head
to foot, he fell into chair.

Mason left the farmer and, return.
ing once more to the sickroom, inform
ed the girl Of the plan he had formed
with her father To his surprise she
energetically forbade him to carry It
out.
I'm much worse than you think,
any of you," said she, "and want to
live for the sake of-my father. I'm
afraid Of the night. Of the night I'm
afraid I shall get restless and feverish
then and perhaps be light headed like
and wandering in my mind. So I want
you, sir, to go and rest now while
they're all out there digging, and then
you will be fresh to watch me at
night"
"But I assure you, Miss Tregaron,
you no more need watching at night
now than I do myself. II your grand
mother sleeps in the room with you,
surely you will feel safe and be able
to rest yourself"
But the girl was obstinate, deter.

stubbornly. "My grandmother goes on

an expression Of fear on her pale face.
Not yet. He has come to know how
you are. Shall | take him message"
She frowned and shook her head.
The doctor insisted.
YES" he urged gently, you had
better A kind message. He Is very
anxious about YOU"
A light seemed to cross her face as
new thought came into her mind.
"Tell him." she said in low voice,
that | am worse this morning-much
worse"
The doctor stared.
"But I cannot tell him that" he pro-
tested. "You are much better. have
already told him So"
But Gwyn rnoved her right hand i'm
patiently among the bedclothes. Evil
dently she was young woman OF
strong will who did not speak with
out intention.

said she. with some energy. las l gave

make myself worse in spite Of you."
She glanced imperiously at the screen
to intimate that he was to obey her In
junction at once. Much bewildered,
Mason went again to the door and,
opening 1t, spoke in voice which the
girl could hear.
"She fancies she Is not so we'll this
morning." said he, 'but hope that 1t
| is nothing more than fancy"
Coch Tai received this message IN
silence and with frown. Then he re-
| treated down the stairs without any
| other answer than nod. while Mason
returned to the invalid.
"Is he gone" asked she.
sYes."
The girl drew a sigh of relief.
"Why do you tease him? 1t Is not
worthy of good woman to tease the
man who loves her." said Mason, who
had been touched by the rough devo-
ton of the huge son Of the hills, by
the savage vehemence Of his protests,
| by the gloomy surliness with which ne
had skunk away on receiving Gwyn's
message.
Because" replied the girl in an agi-
tated whisper, II hate the very sound
of his footsteps. hate and fear him
more than I can tell. And don't
| don't ask me why"
Her brows contracted, and the shad-
ow of great and awful grief passed
over her face.
Mason stood beside her in silence.
What was he to do? He felt that the
key to the secret he was trying to
pierce was in this young girls keeping.
Yet he could not worm from her the
truth which would be ruin to ter lover.

This statement, being in direct op-
position to his own experience Of the
old lady, astonished Mason. The girl
went on:
"And l feel certain shan't be able

his hands with passion and speaking
in hoarse gasps, why, then, Mr.. Doc
tor, you stand a fine chance Of never
getting back to your London sweet
heart at all. and so tell YOU"
From all he heard and all he saw 1t
seemed to Mason himself that his
chance Of getting back to London,
sweetheart or no sweetheart, was so
poor already that a difficulty or dan
ger in the way more or less hardly
! mattered. He was able. therefore. to
reply with apparent eQuanimity:
"You are troubling yourself very un-
necessarily. my friend. Just ask your
self whether a man who has a great
grief and burden on his mind. as
have, is likely to have much time or
thought to give to lovemaking, and
whether. If he had, he would have
much opportunity for 1t in a place as
full Of inquisitive eyes and ears as this
house seems to be-"
Coch Tai was silent for a few mo-
ments. The doctor spoke again.
"And where is your own pride, your
own spirit" he went on. ITO think you
could be cut out so easily?"
But at that the great peasant gave a
long. shivering sigh and seemed to drop
at once into state Of absolute dejec-
tion and humility.
THAT'S it," said he in husky whis-
per. That's the worst Of 1t. 1t 'ud be
easy enough for any one to cut me out
easy enough. But 1t would be bad
Job for him to try. all the same"
He ground out, the words between
his clinched teeth and glared again
menacingly at the doctor.
At that moment there was a knock
at the wall, and he started back.
"She wants-you! said he in a sullen
tone.
The poor girl is naturally curious at
all this growing and whispering that's
going on outside her door," returned
Mason coolly. 'Ill tell her you've
come to inquire how she Is"
AYE, tell her that" said Coch Tai,
with a yearning look at the walls Of
the sickYoom as the doctor opened
the door and went in.
