Never let the farm work or stock
stand still or r~etrograde. but keep
both progressing steadily.
The productiyeness or unproductlve-

year In any dairy where tee or more
COWS are kept; this has been demon
strated time and again, so there Is no
doubt about Il. Manufacturers Of sep
arators claim that the saving Is about
ten dollars n COW per year and Is based
on the fact that the cream Is taken
from the milk while II Is sweet. hence
there IA no danger Of II becoming sour.
and because Of this almost perfect ron
dltIon The cream ripens o evenly
and, therefore. makes a better quality

done sOon after milking the value OF

greater. as It Is usually given to young
