having been tackled on with golden
hammer, and he did not feel any the
worse for shortening his signature.
In Paris he foregathered with Gull
1aume Henri Francois Ste. Marie
d'Auvergne, who had name enough

influence Of the Hand Separator.
The hand separator is exercising a
most beneficial influence on the dairy
interests in the localities where it is
being used. The man that has four or
nve cows and buys hand separator
soon awakes to the realization that
the hand separator will skim the milk
for fifteen cows as well as for the
number of cows he has. The work OF
cleaning the separator would be no
more than for the lesser number Of
cows. This leads him to look around
1or more cows, as matter of invest
ment. Reports indicate that there is
tendency for the hand separator
dairy of a few COWS to increase in
the number of animals giving milk.
The hand separator has another good
influence, and that is that the matter
OF cleanliness is emphasized. The
farmer is told by the intelligent cream
separator agent that he must wash
this separator every time it is used
and wash it thoroughly. The habit es-
tabl1shed in the matter of the separa-
tor extends itself to every other ar
ticle connected with the dairying oper-
atoms. The men that buy hand sep
arators are the most intelligent men
engaged in dairy work and are the
quickest to take up with new idea of
value. The greatest good, however
will come from the increasing desire
to keep larger number of good dairy
COWS than before the separator was
purchased.

The Rosary Of Years.

Some reckon their age by years,
Some reckon their life by art
But some tell their days by the flow Of
And their life by the means of their
heart.
The dials of earth may show
The length, not the depth, Of years;
Few or many they come-few or many
But our time is best measured by tears
All! not by the silver gray
That creeps through the sunny hair
And not by the scenes that we pass on
And not by the burrows the finger Of
care
On the forehead and face have made,
Not so do We count our years;
Not by the sun of the earth-but the
shade
OF our souls, and the, fall Of our tears.
For the young are sometimes old,
Though their brow be bright and fair:
While their blood beats warm. their heart
lies cold
Ger them the springtime-but winter Is
there.
And the cid are Outlines young.
When their hair is thin and White;
And they sing in age as in youth they
sung.
And. they laugh. for their cross was
light.
A thousand of joys may foam
On the pillows of all the years;
But never the foam brings the brave bark
home;
1t reaches the haven through tears.

ton as the water content Of the green
plant is increased. Another important
thing in favor Of alfalfa is that it
can be cut repeatedly throughout the
summer. This is not the case with
some Of the other soiling crops. We
believe that every dairyman that can
should raise alfalfa and feed it green
II he can. We say "if he can" for the
reason that already some Of our city
milk buying companies and bottling
companies are ob5ecting to the feeding
OF alfalfa as soiling crop. We have
not learned that any have objected to
1t as hay crop. though this may
come later. The writer mentioned to
an of1cer Of a company engaged in
supplying bottled milk to Chicago that
alfalfa was likely to prove a most
valuable plant for feeding green to
cows during the drouth of summer.
The officer replied that his company
would object to the farmers feeding it,
as they even objected to the cows
being pastured on red clover for more
than a short period at one time. The
belief of the writer is that some Of
these companies are becoming too ex-
acting in their demands. There Is
constant tendency among them to oh.
ject to the feeding Of any but the high
est priced feeds, such as middlings
and corn meal, out of which the farm
er cannot make profitable milk. It is
doubtful If alfalfa taints the milk at
all, and the farmer should not surren-
der his right to feed it without most
thorough investigation as to its real
effect on the flavor of the milk.

Alfalfa for soi,ino Purposes,

Alfalfa is one of the best crops for
almost any feeding purpose and is
especially valuable for feeding COWS
that are kept up and given feed cut
green. In the first place it is about
as rich in protein as is bran when
the dry matter is compared, but of
course in its green state the protein
content will be decreased in proper.

Objections to Pasteurization An.
SWered.

M. MOrtenseN, in an address to Iowa
creamery men, said: The main reasons
why creameries are so slow in adopt
ing pasteurizing are that this opera
ton Is considered to involve extra ex-
pense without any assurance of a
higher return for the product; the but
termakers are often less familiar with
pasteurization than they ought to be;
they have heard from others that it
causes greater loss in the buttermilk
and thereby the yield, and that the
body of the butter is injured and of
course they are we'll aware OF the
fact that in order to be successful in
making pasteurized butter it will be
necessary to take term in the dairy
school, and this will naturally have
some effect on the buttermaker's will.
lingness to accept the new system.
In regard to the extra cost involved
by pasteurization, this will not exceed
one-tenth of cent per pound, of but
ter where the whole milk is pasteur-
lied with live steam; by very careful
operator this expense may be reduced
to one-f1fteenth or even One-twentieth
Of cent per pound. This expense can
furthermore be reduced by using ex-
haust steam. In many of the cream
cries they will be able to do all of
their pasteurizing with exhaust steam
and In that case the only expense will
be the cost of the pasteurizer and
cooler. This expense is very small
and progressive creamery man can
not afford to consider that expense if
it will assist him in improving his
product. When we have been able to
bring our butter up to high standard
it will soon be noticed by the con-
sumers and they will readily pay q
premium on quality.
In regard to the other objections
that are made against pasteurization,
they are all suppositions without be-
ing based upon reliable experiments.
We can do just as exhaustive churn-
ing from pasteurized as from raw
cream.
The cream, however, must be more
carefully cooled before churning., It
is surely no objection that pasteuriza-
ton will demand capable operators. A.
few creameries could well afford to
Introduce pasteurization for that rea-
son. When pasteurization of milk or
cream is introduced pasteurization or
sterilization of water used for the but
ter should not, be omitted. At the
Iowa experiment station they have
eliminated several germs from water
that cause the butter to deteriQate in
quality in very short time. This
makes it evident that the pasteuriza-
tion or sterilization of water is just
as important as the pasteurization Of
the cream.
