IMPORTANT FACTS
FOR cow OWNERS

The mechanical Cream Separator has
become a vital feature of every home
dairy Just as of every butter factory.
Its use means much mere and much
better cream and butter, as well as
saving of water, ice, time and room.
The difference in results is not small
but big. Few COWS now pay without a
separator. Dairying is the most profit
able kind of farming with me-.
9SS of the creamery butter of the
world is now made with De Laval
machines, and there are over 500, coo
farm users besides.

She's a Glass Eye Artist.

such strict attention is paid TO artistic
effects the eyes OF Il stuffed animal are
painted TO order. Ordinary glass eyes
may be good enough for AN ordinary
beast. but Bengal tigers and other ami
mails of noble lineage require express
siNe eyes.
II am acquainted with several taxi
dentists, and get most of thei, orders
for optical art. Painting n glass eye
isn't such an easy stunt as most people
imagine. one of the first things to be
considered is the attitude OF the animal.

F~ATTENlMe LIVE STOCK.

There is something N the makeup of
hlsr grade stock. whether horse, COW,
sheep or what not which responds NOR"
readily to good feed and care than w@ca
the same is given to low grade stock. To
explain it is beyond the writer, but that
it is SO any ol)servanl farmer Will admit.
Take a lot of well bred pigs, as an illus
ua,ion; any one who has tired il knows
that such animals bring more money in
carcass fattencd on the am rations than
pigs of q lower degree. Mind yUu. this is
in carcass form when it is practically i'm
possible for the butcher 10 tell whether
the animal is a razor back or a pur" l3efH-
shire. TIL man who has worked with
well bred stock knows, also, that they are
much easter to handl. in the process OF
preparing for market. they seem to re-
spond more quickly to the food and car"
than the low grade stock. Possibly il is
because they have not a line OF nan
starved ancestry behind them which they
must fill up, bu, probably it is because
their fine breeding covers perfection in
every point and perfection always re-
spends more freely to training e feeding
than imperfaction. Possibly this argument
is far-feiched, but the truth renkias that
those who have experimental Song this
line know that It pays. II then, il pays
from the standpoint of the carcass how
| much greater will it pay if, the sale of the
progeny. the milk. the fleece or the eggs
are to he the commodity to be marketed.
