Experience With the Cream Separator
l have q neighbor who has long in
sisted on the usual way of setting his
milk in a cool house and skimming it
for butter-making. He used a Bah
cock cream tester and found that his
milk from the cow averaged a butter
fat test of Az per cent, which he
knew ought to give him in three days
over fifty pounds of butter. But he
got only twenty-eight pounds of but
ter out of it. He had an excellent. cool
milk-house, and let the milk stay be-
fore skimming it till it was becoming
sour, and as he fed the skim milk to
pigs and calves, when sour 1t gave
them the scours. He finally came
over to my house one evening and
asked me what was the trouble and
wanted my experience. l told him that
l quit the old way of setting and skim
ming milk three years ago and now
use a cream separator, and that l find
that it increases the cream and butter
a great deal, but not quite as much as
he has been losing, but enough TO pay
for a separator in a little time. But l
want to say also here, that l have
found the sweet separated milk even a
bigger thing than more cream and but
ter, to feed calves and pigs while it is
sweet and good. l would never think
of going back to the old way of skim
ming, nor to feeding soul milk.-L. H.

New School For Wit.

An old New Yorker the other day

into p%anegyrics upon the 'rubber-neck
wagons"
"They are" he said, "a great school

that he has made a hit, and treasures

1naug nrating a Governor in ONTO.

The expense of inaugurating John
NJ. Pattison Governor of OHIO will ag-
gregate close to $1,000. OF this amount
the State will probably pay about
$4,000. leaving the remainder for the
board of trade to defray. The inau-
gural ceremonies proper cost about
$4,000, but this did not include the ex-
pense of the grand ball. The expenses
for this and other feature of the Oc-
casion, however, are SO closely inter-
wove that it is difficult to determine
what each separate item represents.
Including the cost of the ball and other
expenditures, it was probably the most
expensive Inauguration that the State
has eve had.-Columbus Dispatch.

Pitman Grove another company of
Philadelphia capitalists will send a
committee there at the next meeting
to ask for a similar privilege. On top
of this it is stated that a firm of
acetylene manufacturers is ready to
install a plant, and promise to have it
in operation inside of four months.
Clayton Council has granted the com
pany a franchise limited to thirty
years. The Council chamber, the
Mayors office, Jail and lower part of
the town hall are to be lighted free.
The plant must be in operation inside
of a year. and furnish gas to residents

Turn out Billy to Craze in the clover
And let old Dobbin rest,
For the days Of the farmhouse drudge are

His sun gone down in the west.

Has turned the animal down,
And the Reuben is running the mobile

Same as the swell in town.
Oh, the scurrying scoot of the startled
gopher
As he 'scapes the hurry-up pillow
That is manned by Hayseed Hi, the chauf.
1t saddens me even now!
For the auto pillow and the auto harrow
Are here with their honk and hiss;
And it cuts our sentiment clean to the
marrow
That we've got to come to this.

Is hauling his garden sass;
And / hate to arise with a word to dis

Elope in a way that they hadn't oughter,
In the auto of her sire!

finally reaches the separator and is
separated into two grades, the larger
grain remaining on the top screen and
passing off at one side of the discharge
chute. The smaller grain passes
through the upper screen of the sep

On the Plain.

Henry Clay Trumbull, speaking OF
the mission of the lowly road in the
Christians life and its relative impor-
lance in comparison to the mountain
road. says: There are times in every
life when the soul stands on the clear
heights. and no task seems to be too
difficult to the boundless enthusiasm
of the moment. But what is TO be done
when the soul has descended into the
plains. and the enthusiasm is gone, and
the task remains? Only TO go on
bravely, trusting to the clearer vision
on the mountain top, and making faith
full performance fill the place of enthu-
siasm. The mountain and the plain
has each its place in Christian life-the
mountain for clear vision ahead, the
lowIy road along the plain for the ae-
tual performance of the journey"

How the Kaiser Travels.

The German State railway is much
tempted to encourage the Emperor to
travel as often as possible, for each
journey he takes is a considerable sum
in the pocket of the nation. His Maj
esty travels in great splendor. AS a
rule there are two special trains, II
for the Emperor and II for the EN-
press. These are the property of the
Prussian State, but the travelling ex-
penses are paid by the Emperor him
self. The court trains are charged at
the same rate as ordinary special
trains. Thus, the journey from Berlin
to Elbing, near the northeast frontier,
costs rather over $500, and the same
fee is, of course, charged for the re-
turn iourney.-Chicago Journal

The Farm Ice Hnnse.

1ne farm Ice House.
Every farmer should have a supply
of ice. There are but few localities
where ice cannot be obtained with but
a short haul.
An expensive house is not necessary,
as all that is required is a building
with sides and roof, situated on ground
well drained. y,
The blocks of ice should be cut of
a uniform size with smooth edges. SO
that they will back closely. The best
tool to cut ice for small houses is a
cross-cut saw with one handle re-
moved.
There should be no floor under the
ice. A thin coat of sawdust or chaff
should be spread on the ground and
the ice packed in even layers, leaving
a space of a foot all around, which
should be packed full with sawdust
or chaff.
To. keep we'll the ice should be at
least eight feet deep, exclusive of a
foot or more of sawdust or chaff, which
should cover it.
Plenty of ventilation should be fur
nished, being careful not to have a
too free circulation of air.
In taking out the ice, care must be
taken not to dig out holes in the ice,
but commence at one side or corner
and remove a cake at a time until a
whole layer is taken out, and at all
times see that the ice is well covered.
When neighbors are close together,
it is an excellent plan for several to
go in together and put up an ice sup
ply, as the larger the quantity packed
in one house the smaller the per cent.

Little Black Man. Back.

George Wood has been seeing his
: little black man. again in his cell in
the State prison at Trenton. He told
his lawyers that he remembered a lot
of things he couldn't recall at his trial
for the murder of George Williams.
Wood said he now recalled where he
and Mack and the little black man"
went after leaving New York City. 1t
was Red Bank. He was put to bed in
a farmhouse. One of the men at the
house passed his hand over Woods
spine, and after that he was uncon-
scious. Later he regained his senses.
Again the man smoothed his back, and
again Woods consciousness lapsed.
Wood remembers a sleigh, too. but it
is not like the sleigh in which he drove
away with Williams.
