Cases In Point.
Seventeen experiments have recently
been performed at the Indiana expert
ment station to demonstrate the i'm
pOrtance of this one point. In six in
stances large inflow was used, In six
small inflow, and in the remaining
five cases the inflow was normal.
In case of the large inflow the float
was removed from the receiver of the
separator, and the milk was run
through as fast as the separator could
take care Of 1t. In case OF the small
tnfow the separator was fed at the
rate Of about two-thirds its capacity.
The results show that where the ma.
chine was forced beyond its capacity
the separation was less complete, and
the loss of fat In skim milk was ave
times as great as where the inflow was
normal. A decrease Of the inflow be-
low the capacity OF the separator did
not materially reduce the per cent or
fat In the skim milk. II the inflow Is
decreased beyond certain limit. while

Rate Of Inflow Should Accord With

Every separator is built to take care
Of q certain amount OF milk. 1t has a
certain capacity. The capacities Of the
average hand machines range from
$50 to 900 pounds of milk per hour.
When the machine is forced beyond its
capacity the milk has to pass through
the bowl so fast that 1t is not exposed
to the centrifugal force long enough to
effect complete separation of the fat.
The more milk that is run through the

"Hard milking" occurs from varied
causes. Sometimes the trouble is due

which drop down into the canal from
above and form sort Of ball valve

come from injuries to the lower part
(the sphincter OF the teat). These last
causes usually arise from injuries re-
ceived from without and occasionally
are due to warty growths at the open

The Dainty Eater.

The dainty eater is not the COW the
dairyman wants for business, because
his profits come not from the feed that
remains In NOV and bin, but from
that which is consumed, says ID. w.
Lighter in National Stockman and
Farmer. During the winter, when they
do little or no work, we feed our horses
light ration that we cali malnte-
nance ration, but In tie spring we add
to the maintenance ration lot Of corn
and oats to be transformed into pulling
The food consumed besides the mainte-
nance ration Is what gives us results.
I have no use for a cow that cannot
utilize three or four times the mainte-
nance ration.

There is no question but dairying

profits every detail Of the industry
must be carefully observed. This ac-

WHEY FED CALVES.
Important Points In Rearing Them In
Good Form.

Important Points In Rearing Them In
Good Form.
Some persons claim that good calves
cannot be reared on whey. Others
have said that the best cows that they
ever saw in the dairy include a num-
Der that We're reared during calfhood
essentially on a diet of whey. The
truth probably lies between these two
extremes, remarks Professor Thomas
Shaw in considering the matter, as
follows, In American Agriculturist
Calves can be reared in better form
II they are not given much whey until
they are five or six weeks old. Before
feeding whey the calves should be
started on new milk during the first
week or two. No supplemental food
will take the place of new milk at
such time. 1t would seem to be an
absolute necessity in order to start
the work of digestion Alright. III 1t is
not started right, I'll doing is likely to
follow, even though the management
subsequently should be judicious. Then
a change Is made from new to skim
milk, taking one to two weeks to make
the change from all new milk to all
skim milk.
AS soon as the change is begun to
skim milk then oilmeal or faxseed or
linseed Cruel may be fed as the calves
may be able to take 1t. This is put
into the milk until they eat meal free
ly. AS soon as they do this it is put
into the meal that is fed dry. With
this added to the mixture it may be
composed Of the following: Ground
corn three parts, ground oats three,
wheat bran one, oilcake one. For a
time the calves may be allowed to take
all of this that they will eat
Changing to Whey.
When the change Is made to whey
the calves will be five or six weeks
old, as intimated. Should they be
younger three to four weeks should
be occupied in making the change from
all skim milk to all whey. If they are
FIVE weeks old, the change may be
made In one or two weeks, but Ii
should not be sudden. The quantity
Of whey to feed will be little more
than for calves of the same age on
skim milk-that is, 1t will be fourteen
TO eighteen pounds per day for calves
at six weeks, increasing at the rate of
one to two pounds week for the next
few weeks. 1t should not be given to
the extent of unduly distending the
paunch, as has been sometimes done
Animals OF that class are sometimes
rendered hideous because of the large
amount of paunch they carry as re-
suit of the excessive feeding of whey.
The character of the whey--that is,
the condition in which 1t reaches the
calves-is important. When brought
from the whey tank at the factory 1t
Is frequently in bad condition because
OF careless management.

sistants 10 the makers. Farmers. as n
rule. do not recognize the fact that
they are assisting in the manufacture
of butter or cheese. as the case may
be. and that the part they perform is

Value of Special Pains.
I believe that If every man In Mime
sofa would given special attention to
the selection of his cows and would
take special pains to keep the cows
comfortable and feed them the nutri-
ment that they need for milk produc-
ton In less than two years we could
add 100 pounds OF butter fat per COW.
That is pretty broad statement. We
are getting about 135 pounds OF but
ter fat year. but believe If the farm
ers paid special attention to the care
Of their cows we could raise that to
235 pounds on the average with the
COWS that they have.-T. c. Hacker

HumOr in Journalism.

Next to a million dollars a hearty
laugh is about as pleasant thing as
one can have. Everybody really
wants to laugh. No man and no
newspaper can be really great without
d sense of humor. The Chicago Rec
ord-Herald regards the promoting of
smiles and laughter IS a part of the
legitimate mission of the press. For
years the alternating Currents" col
umn of S. E, Kiser in that paper has
been daily source of delight to it's
readers. The cartoons of Ralph Will
der on the first page also are designed
to- make people laugh-and to make
them think as we'll. In fact, the hum
or of the RecOrd-Herald, like it's news
columns is always clean and kindly
as we'll as amusing and entertaining,
1t affords a striking example of the
right way to "tcll the truth laughing"
Famous humOrist contribute to the
Sunday Magazine of The Record-Her-
aid, with the popular nOvelists and
celebrated writer's on timely ques-
tions. Both text and illustrations are
of the highest standard Of periodical
literature-the new idea in Sunday
journalism perfected.

i" In God We Trust"

lucky has introduced bill providing
for the restoration to coins of the
motto, "In Coo We Trust" Speak
ing to the Washington correspondent
for the New York World Mr.. James
said: "After six years of fourishing
the big stick, President Roosevelt has
at last removed one trust, that's In
God We Trust In removing the
motto he struck one of the greatest
blows to religion and morality that
has ever been given in this country.
He says that some one may laugh at
the motto. Such an argument, if fol-
lowed to its logical conclusion, would
tear down every church steeple in the
land. Mr.. Roosevelt will soon find
that his countrymen do not sympath-
ize with him in his willingness to abOl-
ish the motto which expressed the ma
tional gratitude to the Creator. 1.-THE

Closing of Oxide Works.

j. FL. Lewis, in Milwaukee Free
Press: The closing down of The bic
oxide works at Mineral Poinl throws
several hundred men ont of employ
ment at a most critical period of the
year. 1t has been customary for this
plant to close down a part of the
furnaces every year in order that re-
pairs might be made to the CRATES and
this is needed now all through the
furnaces which have been operated to
their fullest capacity for more than a
year. The shutdown therefore is only
temporary aud ii is safe to assume
that operations will begin again with
in the next thirty or sixty days. The
Mineral Point camp is therefor prac-
tically closed down air-tight for the
present.
The closing down of the oxide works
directly affects several mining com
panies throughout the district who
have had market for their ores with
this company, and their closing down
is now a matter of certainty.

Steps in the Wrong Direction.

Hudson True Republic: 1t is a pc
3uliar condition of affairs when the
'aders of the two great political par
of the country, men who have run
the presidency twice, favor the
adding of campaign expenses upon
the people. That would be one more
step in widening the gap between the
people and the select few at Washing
ton; it is another step toward Euro
pean mOnarchies. A number of such
steps have been taken during the terms
of Roosevelt. Foreign diplomats de-
clared the last White house reception
as quite the thing in European capitals
but that they had never before seen
any thing like it in this country.
Many of the requirements that hedge
about royalty have become quite fam
iliar around our national capitol.
This with growing tendency to narrow
down the rights of the states in the in
terest of federal authority will make
all good citizens rejoice that there
will be no third term to the present
administration.

The Temperance Wave.

The Hudson True Republican,: The
temperance wave that is sweeping the
country is encouraging and would be
more so if it carried little more as
surance that it is not one of the tenn
porary uprisings that are so transient
in their nature. About ninety per
cent of the territory in the south has
been swept by this wave. The portion
left, however, includes the large cities
where intemperance has always been
most disastrous; but the most encour-
aging feature of the wave is that it
has swept a square mile of Chicago.
That is something like boarding the
Devil in his den. 1t is evidence of a
change some where, and may be a step
showing that the world is able to rise
above some of it's worst evils.

Resolves fr the future are not limited
to our own time, for nearly 1000 years
ago Pliny, the scrapbook maker, noted
in his quaint fashion the return Of the
Saturnalia made a memorandum that
during the coming year he must make
sacrifices to certain gods whom he had
neglected and that in other ways he
must amend his life. There is no rec
ord that he did, so his New Year
resolutions were probably forgotten

The ARMY of Immigration.


Milwaukee Journal: If there were
any doubt about the vastness of our
country it would be dissipated by the
realization that during the past l, 285,
$40 immigrants have been admitted &,
and most of them already been swal-
lowed up that no one realizes that
they have come.
The immigration flood of 1906 was
huge. This year it was exceeded by
1S4 ,6l4.
Where have they come from? Every
where. Nearly 500 countries have sent
their quotas. The greatest number
came from Austria Hungary, 338, 452;
81 ,SO7 from Germany, 2S5, 73l from
Italy, 25S, 943 from Russia, 56 ,657 from
England, less than 1000 from China,
bat more than $4,000 from Japan.
Yes; so did we think there was an
agreement with Japan through which
her little brown men would be kept at
home.
These 80, 900 and more are only those
whom we know have come. The figures
do not include the armies which have
slipped in by way of Canada and
Mexico.
America is very we'll content to re-
ceive the greater number of her immi-
grants. Experience shows that they
develope, that they are being assimi-
lated. The portion Incapable of as
similation she does not want, and she
has never wanted.
