Many farmers regard the plant food

they regard commercial fertilizers as

their nitrogen, phosphorlc acid and pot
ash do the same work in plant nutri-

Three Things Necessary
\ writer for the Cream Bulletin gives
these three points as the things neces-
sary to produce good separator cream.
The first requirement is perfect clean
liness Every article that is used about
the milk must be washed with good
soapsuds or some washing powder ey-
cry time it is used. The sooner II is
cleaned the better. After being wash
ed il should be thoroughly scalded with
boiling water ana then thoroughly
dried. find borax excellent for clean
ing my separator.
The second requirement is to keep
the cream cool. The best place is near
an open window at the northwest cor.
ner Of the house This provides Il free
circulation of air. The vessel in which
the cream is kept should not be shut
tight with a metal cover. 1t is better
to keep thin damp cloth over ii, rs
this allows ventilation.
The third requirement is to keep the
cream well stirred. Fresh cream
should never be added without mixing
it thoroughly with that which is al
ready in the can.
BY following these instructions II
will not bee difficult to deliver good
