THE SEPARATOR.
IT Properly Handled 1t Viii Prove a
Splendid investment.

Splendid Investment.
Every progressive dairyman should
have hand separator. You can then
give the calves fresh sweet skim milk.
1t is expensive to feed calves on Whole
milk, especially when you can sell the
butter for 90 cents per pound and sup
ply the fat taken from the milk by oil
meal or oil cake at few cents per
pound.
From the other side, the separator is
certainly splendid investment as a
labor saver. 1t is also valuable as a
means of getting all the butter fat from
the milk. Get good standard ma
chine. but don't get very small size
unless you have only very few cows
For ten to twelve cows we would GER
tainly recommend $50 to go pound
per hour separator.
Cleaning the Machine.
Wash the machine every time it is
used. Don't believe the agent who
tells you that you can wash hi; ma
chine by simply dipping the parts in
warm water. Any one who has han
died vessels in which milk has been
kept knows that that is not so Use a
brush, not a dish rag. II wash each
piece of the separator; Il y pour boil
ing hot water over the parts and allow
to dry.
Use plenty of oil on the bearings. and
thus greatly increase the life OF the
machine. Fasten the separator Sc
curely to the floor, take three minutes
to speed it up, heat UP the bowl with
little lukewarm water before separat-
ing, then flush out with a little clean
water after the milk has run through
to get all the cream.-Professor ". ].

WINTER PEAR.

"A Variety OF Promise to Commercial
Pear Growers.
One of the most evident needs of the
American commercial pear grower is
an attractive winter variety of good
dessert quality that is at the same
time productive and least fairly re
sistant to blight. The supply of do
nestle winter pears is rarely equal to
the demand of our domestic markets
One OF the best genealogical authori-
ties says that the Croker is most
promising new variety in this field. 1t

Dairy Talk Of Today.

The handling of milk the first few
hours after it has come from the COW
has great influence on its quality and
the commercial value of the products
made from it. The care of milk seems
simple matter, but better methods in
our diaries are of the greatest impor-
lance to the success and reputation OF
American dairying.
Testing of Dairy Cows.
Officially authenticated testing of dali
ry cows is becoming more ana more
the leading feature of the work of
breeders. These tests are regarded by
the public as the true index OF the
value and Of the capacity of all breeds.
Practical dairymen are placing abso-
lutte reliance upon them as an invalua-
bic aid in the selection of sires with
which certainly to improve the capaci-
ty and profitable production of their
cows
Dairy Products In Demand.
The greatest profit is in selling milk
and cream to customers, the next in
having annual customers who will take
either cheese or butter as it is made.
Then follows the selling of cream to
the creamery and. lastly, butter to the
store trade as one can catch the mar
ket. There seems to be a constantly
increasing demand for the products
of the dairy which keeps pace with the
increase of cows. There is n bright
prospect ahead for all who wish to en-
gage in this great branch of agricul-
ture.-S. f. Emerson.
Where the Expense Comes In.
Professor W. J. Fraser of the Illinois
College of Agriculture says, 1T is what
the farmer does not know about his
cows that hurts" If he knew how ey-
pensiye it is to keep Il poor COW, he
would not do it. Twenty-Five good
cows will earn more net than a hun
dred moderately good cows and more
than LOO poor cows. The poor COWS
Will not pay their way. In one case the
cows will keep the farmer: in the other
the farmer will keep the cows.
The Milking Machine.
The Farmers Advocate saws: I've
did not believe in the efficiency of the
milking machine until we saw one at
work. Now that we have been shown
we cannot say too much in it's favor
There are milking machines and milk
ing machines, SO be careful what Won
buy when you are approached by
smooth tongued milking machine sales
man. So far as we know, there is only
one or two approved makes of milking
machines. Better go slow in the pur-
chase of machine and be sure Won
get good one"
Culling the Herd.
II IS the constant aim of progressive
dairymen to improve their herds. and
such Improvement must depend largely
upon culling the herd and getting rid
OF the Improbable animals.
Keep Out the Bacteria.
The most careful handling of milk
AFTER it is once infected with bacteria
Will not suffice to make good product
from it. The bacteria must not he al
lowed to gain ingress if clean, whole
some products are desired. Thorough
washing with boiling water, or. better
i've steam. followed by rapid cooling
and subsequent exposure to the direct
rays OF the sun. is the only sa,.itary
way OF handling the dairy's utensils.

orchard in California. It is locally
known as the Croker Bartlett and has
been disseminated since 1902
1t has but recently begun to attract
attention elsewhere, but is considered
worthy of testing in eastern pear re-
gions.
The tree is reported to be a vigorous
grower, thus far free from blight and
regularly productive. The fruit is
somewhat subject to scab in the To-
cality of its origin and therefore needs
to be sprayed to protect against this
disease.

Is years I wrote every week society

week, without fail, unfit I was grad

list of prominent and successful men.
No other university contributes as
large a number, although three or
four are not very much behind. This
is certainly a startling story, and
shows the darker side of the college
and university question. Is Professor
Conrad right when he says that, in
his judgment, the college ambition is
no longer doing the good that it did
half a hundred years ago?
The relative compensation Of college
graduates, compared with those who
leave our high schools and go directly
into business, is no longer so marked
as to be a deciding factor in the case.
Fifty years ago every college gradu-
ate was already booked before COM
mencement day for a lucrative posi-
ton: this is no longer the case. The
struggle comes after graduation, and
it is q competition which puts to the
wall no small proportion. Meanwhile
the expansion of our college courses
and the necessary increase in the en-
trance requirements pushes the grad
yates forward to an average of about
p years. The professional school takes
two or three more years, and the
young man is at least 20 years old be-
fore he begins to earn his living. The
only escape from this dilemma is pass
ing directly into business from the
high school, or a shortened college
course. Columbia allows the fourth
tho ~ h.
fessional. Their universities teach dur
ing the last two years along the line
of professional training. viii the trend
hereafter be to send more OF the boys
directly from the high school into pro-
fessional training or into business?
We have had no intention to act as
umpire in this case. The colleges, be-
ing private establishments, occupy an
anomalous position in our educational
system. Many Of our high schools are
better equipped for laboratory work.
and offer a broader curriculum than
some of our colleges. There is no cues
ton but that the college will have to
define itself more accurately, and its
relative right to a specific collegiate
rank Its ability to do for a pupil what
cannot be done by the high school will
have to be demonstrated. The college
must fit boys for the days they live in.
and at the same time give them truly
classical vision. Professor West of
Princeton warns US that I'VE have al
ready toe many second-rate and third
rate and fourth-rate men among our
scholars. And he insists that the ma
jority of college students to-day are
mot familiar with the standard books
of history and poetry" The college,
however, say what we will Of its de-
fects-and these should be pointed out
with increasing directness-ls doing
this grand thing for us; 1t is keeping
an increasing host of our boys in
school. and under scholarly influences,
four years longer than they would be
without such institutions Unless this
|can be accomplished in some better
way, we must continue to say the more

can give to boy is, Go to college,
