Senator Robert M. LaFollette.

The management of the Cor
Wallis Lyceum Course takes
pleasure in calling attention to
the fifth and concluding number
of the seasons course, lecture
by Senator Robert LaFollette,
at the opera house, Tuesday
evening April 23.
Senator LaFol1ette is a re-
markable man. Born in a log
cabin ia Wisconsin he stands to-
day. second only to President
Roosevelt as our most conspicu-
GUS and poteut exponent of civic
reform and political purity. He
is bright, brainy and a fighter, a
''little giant'' intellectually, a
powerful magnetic speaker, a
born orator and an orator with a
mission. Since his first advent
into the political arena La Fol-
lette has fought, has fought ccr-
ruption, fought jobbery-fought
and lost, and fought again.
Whether one agrees with him or
not one must admire his courage,
his integrity: his unquestionable
character and his dogged tenacity
to fight for what he believes is
right. He is the tvpe of man
whom it is good to see coming to
the top of politics.
AS representative in compress
he was with one exception the
youngest man who ever served on
the important Ways and Means
committee and wrote more of the

THE SEPARATOR.
If Properly Handled 1t Will Prove a
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 25 cents per pound and sup
ply the fat taken from the milk by oil
meal or oil cake at a few cents per
pound.
From the other side, the separator is
certainly a splendid investment as a
labor saver. 1t is also valuable as a
means of getting all the butter fat from
the milk. Get a 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 45O to $50 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 his 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, to wash each
piece of the separator; then 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 I'D the bowl with q
little lukewarm water before separat-
ing, then flush out with little clean
water after the milk has run through
to get all the cream.-Professor w. j.
Elliott,

Sunf1ower seeds are considered val
liable to feed poultry during the molt-
ing season. They are an oily food
thought to be beneficial in the bright
ening of the plumage Of poultry. They
are of but little value as an egg pro-
ducing food.

The Bane of the Henhouse.

Mites are very small lice which con-
gregate by the thousand underneath
the roosts and in the crevices Of the
poultry houses. They hide there all
day and swarm out at night upon the
bodies of the poultry. When full Of
blood they are red; when empty, very
dark colored. They are the pest Of
henhouse and should be removed.

A Sure Cure For Cholera.

Here is a sure cure for cholera: Mix
a half pound of smoking tobacco in
dry ground feed, moisten a little and
then feed. This will be sufficient for
fifty fowls. We have had cases so
bad that it was necessary to put the
feed down their throats, but it cured
them, says writer in Farm Journal,
Philadelphia. Feed twice a week or
oftener if necessary. .f
