Utilizing Hand Separators.

T. G. Claiborne writes: after feed
ing our calves we have six gallons of
milk daily, which is set in dish pans
in cool cellar and churned every sec
ond day. In the fall and winter we
get satisfactory results, but at this sea-

py condition of young grass the cause.
I should like fresh skim milk for the

thankfully received"
Answer: The trouble you are exper-

at this season Of the year. The cream

ponds largely on the specific gravity
between the milk serum which con-
tains the solids not fat and the fat
globules. When the fat globules rise
to the surface, which they ordinarily
do because they are lighter than the
milk. they constitute the cream. 1t
has been definitely shown by repeated
experiments that milk creams more
rapidly when thoroughly chilled imme-
diately after milking than under any
other conditions. This is due in a
large measure to the fact, that the i'm
mediate chilling of the milk prevents
the formation of fbrin and other like
substances found in minute quantities
in milk, but yet sufficient in amount to
entangle the fat globules as they rise
to the surface and hold them within

Il is easy 10 understand why your

in your letter. does not cream satisfac-
toTily during tive warm weather.
Under your conditions a hand separ-
ator will solve most Of the difficulties
with which you have TO contend and
enable you TO secure virtually all the
fat In the milk without much added
labor The centrifugal force gener-
ated by the separator is so powerful
that It Overcomes the action OF the
abrin and enables the perfect separa-
ton of the milk and cream. Besides
that 1t leaves the skim milk in an ideal
condition for feeding calves or other
young stock which may be maintained
on the farm. Furthermore. by skim
ming the milk and adding such adj
juncts as fiaxseed jelly with little
dry corn and bran you can raise just
as good calves as you now raise on the
whole milk. By the use of a separator

to-day. A good hand separator large
enough to handle the product from six
TO ten COWS can be purchased for from
$50 TO SO, and you can save enough
milk fat in the course of year or two
to more than pay for the machine. A
hand separator if properly cared for
will last for several years. and is COM
paratively simple to operate, but it re-
quircs competent supervision. By the
use of separator you get all the fat
in the milk and you reduce the bulk OF
cream which it is necessary to cool by
spring water or other artificial means
to the minimum.
While grass tends to increase the
flow of milk, as do other succulent
foods. it does not of necessity reduce
the amount of fat, and it would be
more likely to favorably affect the
dreaming Of milk than to retard it.
Your difficulty. as already explained.
Is due to other causes Professor

Will people who talk about dogs

Intelligent is used almost universal
~ in talking and writing. when peo-
pie mean docility; /. e., the readiness
of the animal to accept instruction
says Joseph A. Graham in Outing
Now. as in human beings. dOcility is
likely to be an evidence Of second
rate intelligence, and the degree OF
intelligence is likely to appear when
the animal is doing things on his own

but to the man who tries to think
accurStely the constant parade OF an
obedient animal as one of exceptional
mental ability Is painful.

The Sheep Industry.

Certainly the high price of wool will
stimulate the raising Of sheep in the
South. We have always liked sheep.
and deplored the fact that SO few were
raised in the South. If you asked a
farmer why he did not raise sheep, he
would reply, "he feared the ravageS
Of the dogs" Now, every phase OF
farm operations has it's drawbacks,
but it seems very weak to give way to
such an obstacle. II our farmers
would set themselves to the task, we
are confident they could find out way
to restrain the hungry cur within
proper bounds. Think of the wool SELL
ing in Georgia at thirty-two cents a
pound. We met farmer while attend
ing the institute in Douglas, Ga, who
said: Il have not sold my cotton yet"
We replied, "You should sell now while
you can get ten cents, and then you
could settle up, and hold your new cot
ton if the price went below ten cents"
He said. Il have no selling to do. I
sold several hundred dollars worth of
wool here last week, and I have no
need for the money for my cotton
We wish there were thousand more
like him, who were growing wool and
mutton enough to pay their expenses;
it would help much in the cotton-hold-
ing movement. OF course it would be
foolish to go into sheep raising, ex-
pecting wool to remain at present high
price. But you can rely upon this
that our country is getting so thickly
settled and our cities are growing so
rapidly, that both mutton and wool will
always bring sufficiently high prices to
repay any careful shepherd. We hope
many farmers will add a small flock
Of some good breed of sheep to the live
stock property upon their farms. We
are proud that several men in South
Georgia can count their flocks by the
thousand. If you propose to branch
out any, be sure to include sheep in
your list. 1t will be no more difficult
to contend with the enemies which be-
set the sheep, than it will be the black
root, rust. caterpillar, boil worm and
the boil weevil upon your c0tton.-

purpose we would advise PLANTING only
the cowhorn variety. Ii grows rapidly
and will furnish more feed per acre
than any other variety except the ruta-

The turnip Is certainly valuable

IT is 10 exaggeration to say that 1t is

If turnips were valued to the extent
that they should be there would be

than it receives. 1t is an excellent
food for all healthy stomachs. AS

There is 10 crop easier to grow than
this. once the'soil is properly prepared

SOW on freshly turned soil, as it dries
off so fast. Unless it rains very soon
after the seeds are likely to spoil before
terminating.
To make big crop of turnips it is
always we'll to mix several kinds to-
gether, at least three.
A good mixture is fiat Dutch, Cow
horn and Aberdeen, and if possible,
add also Purple Kashuyre and Yellow
Globe. The seeds should be well mixed
together in equal proportions and sown
freely enough to insure stand. Seeds
are cheap. and it pays to get perfect

On land at all rich, it is not difficult

On the dairy farm, or where hogs
and sheep are kept, turnips have 4
value much beyond what mere chem
zeal analysis would show them to be
worth. A certain amount of succu-
lent food is very essential to the health
of animals in the winter when there
is no grass or other green food. In
the total absence of all other green
food there may be times on the dairy
farm where there are very fine cows
when turnips may we'll be valued as
high as 81 per buShel. A peck OF them
fed even in one meal or two may ward
off or cure indigestion frequently and
thus prevent worse ills.
Turnips boiled with cottonseed is one
Of the best and cheapest milk -produc-
ing feeds that we can use in the South.
They can be produced at cost of five
cents per bushel, easily, but if they
cost three times that sum, they ought
to be largely grown on every farm, es-
pecially for cattle, hogs and sheep.
Horses and mules. too, will be bene-
fitted by small feed Of them in the
absence of other green food. The
sulphur that is in turnips tends to
make them healthy food that purifies
the blood, promoting a healthy appe-
tite. By all means, SOW one acre and
see if 500 bushels cannot be made and
very easily. too. Top dress with ma
nure and the land will be in fine con-
dition for the following crop.

1t recommends setting about three by
five feet, on good soil. The canes are
allowed to run on the ground the first
year. Breaking the vines when cult
yating is prevented by always running
the cultivator the same way. Early
in the spring. before growth COM

posts along the rows about ten feet
apart and rising above the ground only
one foot; on each post nail cross piece
two feet long. Stretch a light wire
along the outer end of these arms, on
each side; No. 10 or IL will be heavy
enough. Tie up the canes on the wires
equally on each side. This trellis will
keep the fruit up out of the dirt and
make it much easier for the pickers to
get all the berries.
