inefficient skimmlna.


J. w. Hart: Perhaps the greatest
leak in creameries is inefficient skim
ming, through using inferior separa-
tors, or on account of one or more OF
the following: Overlooking the sepa-
rator, separating at too low tempera-
lures, the bowl not running steadily,
or at too low speed a separator that
will skim 5000 pounds Of milk in the
spring, should have its capacity cut
down to $500 in the fall to do equally
clean skimming where the speed and
temperature remain the same. The
skim milk should be tested daily, and
the information gained by testing
the skim milk should be used in reg
ulating the various factors that go to
make clean skimming. With a good
separator intelligently run the loss OF
fat in the skim milk, as compared
with the loss in running fairly good
machine by a somewhat careless OPP
orator, might amount to one-tenth OF
l per cent If the creamery receives
5000 pounds of milk a day the loss
of butter fat in year would amount
to 2,400 pounds which. at 20 cents a
pound would be valued at $3.50. This
is by no means an extreme case, and
it is likely that the loss of fat in
Swimming would have TO be consider
ably greater before the patrons com
ment upon it.

scorino MIX.

S. C. Keith: The Hanford-Hazle-
wood Cream company in Iowa have
method of scoring milk as butter
judges score butter, and there is some
little rivalry among milk producers
to see who viii receive the highest
average score; they take pride in
sending milk that will score high.
do not know whether it is practicable
or not, but l honestly believe that if
we could to-day pay for milk by what
it scored, and if we had good score
system, we would see them fall into
line. The surest way to get good re-
suits. is through a mans pocketbook:
if you can make him realize that it
will benefit him financially and that
it is for his interest to send in good
milk they will soon fall into line:
they will wash their cows three times
a day if necessary, but if he thinks
you get all there is and they get
nothing they will not want to do any
thing for you.

Water in Butter.

The government is taking steps to
regulate the amount of water that car
be incorporated with butter at least
butter that has been reworked and
that is known as renovated butter.
The government is not at all certain
as to what percentage of water should
be allowed, but the department
having the matter in charge is in
clined to fix 16 per cent as the out
side limit of water allowable. The
Department of Agriculture holds to
the opinion that no butter should con
tain in excess of Is per cent of water
The water in the best made butter
viii run from 10 to II per cent and
the experts believe that three per cent
is enough margin to leave. 1t is re-
ported that 16 per cent is the limit
fixed By the English government re-
Gently, though the amount in some
English butter is far in excess of that.
In some cases water has been pur-
posely Incorporated with the butter,
which is a thing easy to do under GER
tain conditions. 1t is an easy way of
increasing the bulk and weight ofsre-
worked butter, though doubtless it de-
creases its keeping quality.

coIorinq oIeomarqarine.

The Internal Revenue Department
of the United States has issued rules
as to how oleomargarine may be col
ored. 1t says that Lo coloring matter
may be put into oleomargarine and
that no butter containing coloring
matter can be put into it. BIT 'if
butter absolutely free from artificial
celebration, or cottonseed oil free from
artificial coloration or any other of
the mixture of compounds legally used
in the manufacture of the finished
product has naturally shade of vel
low in no way procured by artificial
coloration" the product, though look
ing like butter, will be subject to
tax of only 4 of one cent per pound.
This seems to us a reasonable regu-
lation. 1t is well-known that butter
enters to a considerable extent into
the composition of some brands Of
oleomargarine. The law recognizes
this and no effort has been made to
prevent this use of butter. at least
we may feel certain that the combi-
nation of a small amount of butter
with large amount Of oleomargar-
inc will not result IN producing an
article that cannot be told from but.

FLAGS ON PRIVATE YACHTS.
Black an Unpopular Color Among
Amateur Sailors.

No one has the courage TO fly a
black flag as a private yacht signal,
and even black in combination with
other colors is extremely rare. Orange
and black are occasionally seen to-
gether, the owners being Princeton
men. A grewsome flag is on the
Fedalma, the steam yacht of Augustus
G. Tyler of New London; a pointed
black flag with a red Maltese cross in
the center. New Workers are familiar
with William K Vanderbilt's colors,
white with a black stripe-the same
on the turf as on the water. H. c..
Roome's flag is more than half black,
with blue cross in the center Sec
rotary Cormack's pennant is in equal
portions white and black, vertically
divided The most striking combina-
ton of black and white is John Taylor
Lords pennant. You have seen it at
the main truck of the Queen NAB
black ground, with a perforated white
Maltese cross in the center. Here is
the cross without the skull and bones.

The Bronze Turkey.

The bronze turkey is at the present
time without rival. The large size
and hardness are not equalled by
any other of this genus. Without
doubt in the two respects mentioned
they will never be excelled, as the
fanciers that are handling them win
doubtless continue to improve them.
and will in that way keep pace with
the improvement of less important
breeds. The bronze variety was pro-
duced by crossing the wild turkey
cock upon the domestic turkey hen.
and the produce was afterward i'm
proved by careful selection and breed
ing. Cocks of this variety have been
known to weigh from 80 to 40 pounds
and the hens as high as 25 pounds.
The query naturally arises, What
weights will be attained in the next
fifty years, if the present rate of
progress is kept up?" Young COB
blers have weighed as high as 20
pounds at eight months of age and
young turkey hens have frequently
attained weight of Is pounds.

Natural Winter LAYERS.

In choosing fowls for winter laying
one must be governed a good deal by
the origin of the breeds. Thus it is
not to be expected that birds of the
Mediterranean class or those deriv-
ing their origin from India would
prove as good layers in the far north
as birds that originate in regions far
north. The Mediterranean classes
are without doubt good layers, but
for the coolest weather in say Wis
consin we would expect to have the
best result from the offspring of such
breeds as those that have been kept
in North China for a thousand years
and have thus been hardened in their
ancestry. The breed characteristics
qualities of the birds This is in
direct accord with the experience of
the farmers of this country. Some
years ago the Farmers Review sent
out inquiries as to what fowls had
been found to be the best winter lay
ers. A large number of answers were
received, and the majority of the re
plies favored the Black Langshar
The Black Langshans are from north
China, a region where the mercury
sinks down sometimes to 40 degrees
below zero. For summer layers we
rould select some breed from tropical
or semi-tropical regions, such as the
Leghorns and the games, but for
winter layers we would select al.
ways birds that have originated in
colder climates.

On Ducks.

From Farmers Review: The idea
that a duckling covered only with
down if allowed to get entirely wet
is dead duck is prevalent and really
good it is that everyone almost be-
lieves this. The down, if it gets en-
tirely wet, is quite while in drying,
so long that the duck is very apt to
chill; after it is feathered they shed
the water, thus protecting the down,
so it is doubtful if ever a feathered
ducks down gets wet. A down
clothed duckling might enjoy itself
in water, not cold, of a warm sunny
day, with only benefit derived from
the exercise. but how many would
watch that they got to swimming wa
ter only in such favorable times?
Thus it is best to not allow ducklings
water in which they can swim; nor
allow them to be out in the rain until
after they are feathered. But don't
forget they must have water in a
deep vessel, deep enough for them to
cover their entire bill above the nos
trils. If this is neglected the nostril
openings will get clogged with feed
and dirt and the duck will die. This
is the only way they have of blowing
their nose. Ducks blow their nose
with water and hens battle in dust,
but both require lots of grit and char
coal. Little chicks and ducks require
their grit to be in the shape of coarse
sand, or at least large part of it to
be sand. Don't let the downy duck
lings battle in water or get caught
in the rain; they won't come in; it
might not hurt them. We have had
some that thrived on it, but it is
risky.-Emma Clearwaters.
