The Real Man Problem.

Justus Miles F'orrnan, who can write
love stories to suit even the most faS-
tidious, is about to publish his first
long novel, which VIII appear on Feb.
H. and will be called Journeys End"
1t is a modern romance and is said TO
concern the two sides of a mans ma
ture, not exactly in the DR.. Jeyl1iH and
Mr. Hyde fashion, and yet 1T asks the
question whether the real man is as he
is born, with certain traditions and in
herited instincts, or that which he
makes himself by his struggle with the
world Now this is a very large order
and if Mr.. Fornaan can answer it sat
isfactorily we will be much Indebted
to him for information upon an Inter
esting point. But most all men are not
only two sided, but many sided. 1t is
10 be hoped, however, that the writer is
not preaching the dangerous doctrine
of on-responsibility of a man for his
actions. Judging from the light and
airy tales which have come so tar from
the pen Of Mr.. F.orraan it is difficult to

Will the Hand Separator System Prevail in
The Dairy Industry.

Time, or some person endowed with ST.
pernatural power of predicting future
events, only can tell whether the hand separ-
ator system is eventually to become the
chief system in the manufacture of butter,
but nevertheless as this system apparently
is on an increase, thought of this kind
often creeps into the man who is interested
in that work. With the capitalists, separ-
ator manufacturers and separator agents on
the one side, active for the growth and sup
port of this system, and as rule with the
farmers, butter makers and few dairy en-
thusiasts on the other, perhaps putting forth
only inactive restraint one is tempted to
draw the conclusion in favor of the former
class in regard to the prevalency OF this
system.
The separator agents are perhaps doing
more towards magnifying the advantages
and making the disadvantages of the hand
separator system among the farmers appear
as insignificant as possible, than any other

De Laval Expansion.


The De Laval Dairy Supply company has
recently moved into new and larger quarters
in San francisco, now occupying Six large
floors at OIL Drunem street.
A representative of The Ranch recently
called on this firm while in San Francisco
and was guided over the premises by Major
N. E. Baker, who is so we'll known among
dairymen on this coast.
No better evidence of the remarkable de-
velopment of the dairy industry on the Pa
cihc slope is needed than shown by the
great growth of business of the De Laval
Dairy Supply company.
1t was only few years ago when Mr..
Baker made his first visit to the coast, plac-
ing local agencies, visiting creamerymen and
dairymen attending farmers meetings, etc.
AS a result of his recommendations branch
of the De Laval company was established
at San Francisco and a repair department
put in to attend to separator repairs, in
charge of a man imported from the COM
pany's head factory in Sweden.
The company found it necessary for the
accommodation of the trade to carry gen
eral line of creamery and dairy goods.
About a year ago a new Incorporation
was formed, The De Laval Dairy Supply
company, having in view, as its name inn
plies, the object of dealing in all lines of
creamery and dairy supplies with F. J.
Arend president, N. E. Baker vice-president,
II. w. Van Houten secretary and c. E. Hill
treasurer and general manager Mr.. Hill
has given the situation on the coast most
careful study, and under his management
the business of the firm has increased very
greatly.
A branch house of the dairy supply COM
pany was recently established at Portland,
Oregon.
The Merz Dairy Supply company are
their agents on Puget Sound.
When we remember how such a COM
paratively short time ago the darymen of
the coast were clubbing along as best they
could, getting their supplies from eastern
houses at long range, we realize how great
a change has been wrought by this enter
prising firm, with its splenddly equipped
San Francisco establishment and well-man-
aged branches at other principal coast
points.
Anything in the line of new machinery can
be supplied on instant notice. Repairs of all
kinds are quickly made in separators and
machinery.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1903-07-01

A Nebraskan farmer has invented a new
machine called a compound-catastroph
averter. The machine is both compound
and complex. 1t is meant for dwelling
house. 1t has three foundations, each one
of which may be made the undermost at the
inmates will. One foundation is a boat
bottom. If the farmer wakes up in the night
and feels his house being borne away down
a tributary to the Missouri river, he merely
presses button on a varegated switch
board which is attached to his night-shirt,
and the boat bottom becomes undermost.
The farmer then settles back to his slum
Der, while his house floats serenely toward
the Gulf. Another arrangement provides
for cyclones. This consists of pair of i'm
mense wing-sails backed by rudder made
of rooster feathers, non-conductor. When
the tornado comes farmer has but to
press another button and his house instantly
becomes flying machine. He then settles
back to rest, and is soothed into a sweet
sleep by the gentle rocking of his domicile
as it scars through the ETHEREAL heights. The
third attachment is compound averter OF
all the chronic catastrophes of his country
such as prairie fires, thunder bolts, light
ming, sand storms, etc. These latter are
somewhat too complex to describe, but 1t
will suffice to say that with these various
attachments, the farmer need rarely be dis
turbed from his nights rest more than once
during each night unless the food cyclone,
thunderbo1t and all should come at one time,
and statistics show that this happens but
six times year in any one section of Ne
braska.

On The Price of Beef.

At the East Tennessee Farmers Institute,
held at Knoxville last week, ]. Ewing Hite
of Gallatin, a student at the Tennessee Elk
pertinent Station, was one of the speakers
and discussed ''Will Agriculture Pay?" Dis
cussing the outlook for the cattleman, Mr..
Hite, among other things, said:
Looking at conditions, the high price OF
beef is laid at the doors of the so-called
beef trust but the fact is there are only 49,
100000 beeves in the United States to feed
100000 people. 1t requires in the present
time study to raise beef to the highest point
of profit"
Some months ago the press of the nation
and innumerable politicians grew furious
because of "beef trust" but the farmers
who keep in touch with the world and con-
ditions knew the principal cause of the high
price of beef

class of men. If they can persuade them to
believe that one hundred dollars is a small
insignificant sum in comparison to what
may be earned from that investment above
the earnings of the system, which they are
already pursuing, they care little about the
ultimate results of the plan, when put into
execution. The agents are not to be CEN
sured on this account, but those who have
a more direct interest in the ultimate pro-
duct, viz, butter ought to raise objections,
if a one-sided view of this question is per-
mitted. If the conclusions as to the advisa-
bility of this system are to be drawn from
the advantages considered numerically, in
contrast with the hauling milk SYSTEM"
then the hand separator system will certain
ly come out ahead. The chief advantages
of the hand separator system are as follows:
I. Better skinned milk for feed.
2. The milk can be SKINNED and fed at
regular hours.
3. Not so much to haul to the creamery,
hence less time and less cost.
4. The capacity of plant can be in
creased.
The chief disadvantages are:
I. A poorer quality of butter.
2. The application of hand power in the
separation of milk.
If the hand separator system is the COM
ing one, and no effective and systematic
restraint can be wisely administered, then it
is time for the friends of good butter to
come out and give helping hand toward
improving the quality of cream, SO that a
quality of butter, suitable to the tast of con-
sumers and commanding the highest market
price can continue to be manufactured.

The Frye-Bruhn Co. is establishing big
stock ranch on Kadiak Island, Alaska. The
company contemplates sending North some
$4,000 head of sheep and several hundred
cattle Of these 800 head of yearling heif-
ers and $500 head of sheep have gone North
on the Melville Dollar. The steamer will
make two more trips after this one. This is
by far the largest single shipment ever sent
to Alaska and it is even question whether
so many sheep were ever before sent North
in single season. With the stock the COM
pany is dispatching men to care for it, ma
terial for houses, pens and sheds and house
hold effects, and machinery for curing and
caring for hay on large scale.
