Some Advantages which Their Use
Affords. to the. Farmer.
The method of separating cream by
hand machines on the farm and col
lecting it for the creameries is becom-
ing very popular in some regions and
seems likely to supersede the old plan
Of taking the whole milk to the fac
tory, says American Cultivator.
The advantages of the plan are very
evident. The farmer is saved the
daily trip to the creamery, an item
which represents considerable time
and at certain times of the year great
inconvenience. He has the fresh skim
milk to use for calf feeding, free from
being mixed with other milk, which
may be sOured or contaminated with
germs of disease and from neglected
or badly kept herds, and the milk is in
the best possible condition for produc-
ton of veal.
By running route through the
cream district the collection can all be
done by one man, thus providing the
farmer a market for his cream at his
own door. These advantages are so
evident that farmers are demanding
the convenience and insisting on being
relieved from the need of hitching up
team to haul the milk every day.
The defects of the plan are such as
to have prevented the change in some
districts. The main trouble is the
lack of uniformity in the cream. Some
farmers with little experience with
modern dairying or the use of separa-
tors fail to exercise the care needed i'll
clean milking, clean room for the
separator, cooling the milk and sepa-
rating it while it Is fresh.
The problem Of making the system a
success is that of educating the pro-
ducers to separate the milk under the
best conditions and to have the cream
collected regularly and frequently.
Cream collected once or twice a week
is unfit for use, but the successful
routes collect at least four times a
week. Some creamery managers in
sist that the main trouble is the failure
to keep the cans clean. These man
ayers give special attention to deliver
ing the cans perfectly clean and sweet,
having a double set of cans and leav-
ing them at each farm all ready to use.

Case Wa Contagious.

A young clergyman relates an Incl.
dent that occurred shortly after he was
ordained. He had been called to a
small town in central New England
which supported a Methodist church in
addition to his own, the latter being Of
the Baptist denomination.
One night, a few weeks after his ar
rival, he was awakened by woman,
who implored him to make haste, as
her husband was very i'll and had ex-
pressed desire fer spiritual consola-
ton. Hurriedly dressing he accom-
panied the woman.
On the way to her house the min
lister remarked that his companions
face was unfamiliar to him, and asked
if she were a member of his flock.
ooh, no." was the fearful reply. Il
am a Methodist and belong to MI.
Blanks congregation. but as johns
case is contagious did not like to ask
Mr.. Blank to come to see him."

Corn For the SilO.

There have been some radical
changes in opinion on this question
during the last few years. We recall
when it was thought that special va
rieties Of corn must be grown for this
purpose, corn with immense stalks and
but few ears, and that this must be cut
when full Of water, which resulted in
quality Of ensilage very like sauer-
kraut and possessing loud odOr. Elk
perience proved that there was bet
ter method, and now it is agreed that
the com should stand in the field until
we'll ripened, the husks and most Of the
leaves turned in color, which makes,
when put in the silo, sort of dry ST.
lage, very fragrant, palatable and nu-
tritious and q far better feed than the
old sort
Such ensilage will often need more
or less water to be added to insure
compactness and does not have the
lOosening effect upon stock to which
it is fed that the old sort used to have.

To- address delivered by T. L..
Hacker at the recent meet of the Mis-
souri, Dairymen's association was re-
ceived with great deal of enthusiasm,
for it was to the point and contained
the knowledge that the Missouri dairy
man is seeking, says HOard's Dairy
man. After giving his method of car
ing for the herd of the Minnesota sta
ton he gave some good advice IN the
building up of dairy herd. He advised
them to begin with the cows they have,
and by proper feed and care, by select
ing a good dairy sire and by wedding
out the inferior cows there is no reason
why a profitable herd cannot be OBJ
tanned. Professor Hacker further
stated: I'm order to receive a large
yield Of milk it is quite as important
that the cow or herd is handled proper
" as that proper feeding should be
practiced. l know of many instances
where the best Of dairy cows were
used and where good methods of feed
ing were practiced and still results fell
short of what might reasonably have
been expected simply because the ami
mails did not receive that kindly treat
ment- which Is so essential to COW
giving lots of milk for a long time.
Never hurry a cow or strike or speak
loudly or harshly A gentle voice and
a caressing touch are quite as potent
as is digestible protein"

pies to temperature that would
cause little vapOr to rise from it and
passed the warm samples around the
class. One of the students detected
the flavor of the hogpen, and | also
did. This matter was followed to the
farm where the milk was produced,
and we learned the patron practiced
putting his nights milk in an open
vat in a room where there was moth
ing else, thinking he was doing the
very best that he could. This room
was about fifty feet from his hogpen,
and to cool the room he opened win
dow on the side toward the hogpen.
The milk absorbed the hogpen odor and
brought it to the dairy school, and we
were able to detect it in the milk

FEEDING MILK CATTLE

Turnips are good for cows at the rate
Of half bushel per day, although the
ration must be increased gradually.
The cow must keep in sympathy with
her feed, and this must be slow at first
Some think the cow should never be a
boarder. They want her to give milk
all the year. 1t is wrong The milk
becomes impure unless the cow can
have a rest. It becomes depressed in
flavor when taken as strippings. Give
the COW rest of two months. If you
want good butter you must keep out
the stripper cow.-Professor Gowell of
Maine Experiment Station.
Potatoes For Milk Cows.
According to Professor w. A. Henry,
director of the Wisconsin experiment
station, milk cows may be fed with adj
vantage as much as twenty-five pounds
Of sliced potatoes per day. If great
er weight than this Is fed the potatoes
will have an unfavorable influence on
the quality Of the butter produced.
The Balanced Ration.
A cream separator will do a good
deal, but it won't take the place of
balanced ration in the feed trough.
Advantages of the SilO.
There is this advantage about the
silo-that there is much longer period
Of time in which to secure the corn
crop when so used than there Is in
which to save IL as cut corn. Then
there Is absolutely no waste in feeding
against 33 per cent waste in feeding
corn fodder prepared by any other
method. Farmers Advocate.
How to Feed Successfully.
First, let me say that in order to
have cows do well in the fall and win
ter you must feed them we'll in the
spring and summer, and to have them
do we'll in the spring and summer you
must feed well during the fall and
winter. I told one of my neighbors
this ON q certain occasion. He thought
a moment and then said, ''Why, that
means to feed all the time That is the
keynote Of success. w. Coleman in

These figures are stirring up health
officials all over the country.
However, here are some additional
census facts that throw new light on
the increase:
In 1860 the census reported deaths
from Kidney Disease, but none from
Bright's Disease.
IN 1890 of the s7,54s deaths that
year from Kidney Disease, over half,
viz, 22,330, were recognized as
Bright's Disease.
In 1900 of the 63,612 deaths, 5S,748
lover nine-tenths) were known to be
Bright's Disease.
These figures disclose that the dis
tressing increase in Bright's Disease is
not so much due to the sudden de-
velopment of the disease as to the fact
that what we have in the past called
Kidney Disease is in about nine -tenths
of all cases Bright's Disease, and the
deaths are now so reported.
