The Hand Cream Separator.

9
farmer who milks five COWS or
more and is either selling the
cream or making butter of it, needs
a centrifugal hand cream separa-
tor to secure the best profits.
The hand cream separator, work
ing under favorable conditions,
does not leave over 1-20 of pound
of butter fat in 100 pounds of skim
milk. The gravity systems and
di!ution separator methods of Sc
curing the butter fat will leave,
under favorable conditions, from
/ to I of pound Of butter fat in
100 pounds of milk.
According to these figures, IA
farmer who uses hand separator
and milks ten cows, which produce
$4,000 pounds OF milk year,
would lose in the skim-milk but
80 pounds of butter fat year on
the total amount of milk. By the
other methods he would lose from
200 to $50 pounds year. Fig
uring butter fat at twenty cents a
pound, there would be an annual
loss of from S34 to SS4 between
the hand separator and the other
methods.
Advantages of the separator
Not only does the machine secure
practically all the butter fat, but it
delivers the skim milk in a sweet,
warm and undiluted condition
ready to be fed to the calves. Very
few dairy utensils are needed, as
the milk is separated as soon as it
comes from the COW and the skim
milk is fed at once.
Less work is required to handle
the milk in this manner than with
the other methods.
The cream delivered from the
separator is of uniform richness; it
has had all the tibrous and foreign
matter removed. The milk has
not absorbed bad havors and odors
from standing around and the
cream is in excellent condition for
ripening. Thus there is a gain in
the quality and quantity of butter
obtained
Not only is the centrifugal sep
arator of advantage in the produc-
ton of fine butter, but it is equal
ly advantageous in the publication
of milk and cream for direct hu-
man consumption. Diaries i'm
prove the quality of their milk
very much by running it through
the separator and then mix the
milk and cream before bottling it..
The average farmer cannot af-
ford to haul the whole milk to the
creamery, even if he is within
hauling distance and the roads are
good. The skim milk often comes
back in a cold, half-sour and con-
taminated condition, which is un-
fit for feeding purposes. Even if
it does come back in good condi-
ton, it is impossible to feed it
regularly, and it is far from being
equal to hand separator milk. Too
much time is required to haul it
to the creamery compared to the
hngth of time required to separ-
ate it at home by hand. The hand
separator cream, by careful hand
ling, need not be hauled to the
creamery oftener than every other
day during the summer and per-
haps not oftener than once in three
days during the winter months.
Hand separators may be pro-
cured in sizes varying in capacity
from 150 pounds of milk (lS gal
lons) an hour to 1,29O pounds
Q44 gallons) an hour. The prices
varying from about $40 for the
smaller size to about S175 for the
larger size, depending upon the
particular make.

Expert Yeuna Riders.

one OF the prettiest sights Of Cen
trail Park is to see the children mount
their ponies, either at the Plaza
Square entrance or at the eth ave-
nue. bride path The start is never
accomplished without much petting
and sugar giving, which the ponies
expect and apparently enjoy. and II
all makes very pretty and interest
ing picture. The roads at Tuxedo.
Cedarhurst and Newport, too, are
frightened by merry groups OF chill
dren riding gayly along, either with
riding master or grooms. For riding
is one OF the fayorlte pastimes Of the
children Of the rich, and It Is such
splendid exercise that parents who
can afford 1t generally see that their
children are initiated into its myster-
les Just as soon as they are big
enough to handle a pony. Not only
is riding the best possible exercise
for developing the body, but it de-
yelops courage and Intelligence as
well. The horseback rider must be
able to think and act quickly. The
mind must be alert for every little
detail along the road, and all these
signs must be stored away for future
use.
The child's first attempts at riding
are made under the instruction OF
some fully competent person, for TO
learn at the outset TO sit correctly
and hold the reins properly is all inn
portant, One OF the greatest physical
benefits OF riding is perfect polse OF
body. but this only results from rid
ing properly. The little girls are
usually taught to ride astride Instead
Of on the side saddle. They wear
divided skirts and have their boots

The strenoth Of a Cat.

The cat Is, for its size, one Of the
strongest animals. DR.. Huidekoper,
who made a special study of feline
anatomy, commented on the large
and powerful muscles which are at
tached to the cats bones and which
form a complete system of springs
and levers. Muscles again enable the
cat to withdraw its claws under the
protecting pads which prevent the
claws receiving injury when not In
use, says Home Notes.
The shoulder blade, arm and fore
arm Of the cat lie at what is termed
CLOSE angles" and the jumps which
the cat can take at such enormous
distances are due to the great power
in the closed angles OF the joints.
