Force Of Habi,.

A Boston psychologist was recent.

them to the highest bidder.

Why Farmers Buy separators.

The president of the Wisconsin
Creamery Butter Makers Association,
in answering the question why farm
ers with cows buy hand cream separa-
tors, says:
/. He wants his own skim milk and
wants it fresh and warm.
2. He does not want to drive to
the creamery at a particular hour
every day in the year.
The farmer of the future is going to
be an educated man hence all this
bowling and crying about the poor
quality of butter made from hand
separator cream is not going to change
his views so long as there is really
nothing against the system.
The facts brought out only go to
show that by this system it ought to
be possible to make even a better
grade Of butter and that the faults
enumerated are simply the abuses OF
this system.
The up-to-date buttermaker will ar
range to ripen the cream at the farm
and send team out from the cream
cry to gather all cream regularly and
not allow any to be hauled to the near
est station to be shipped to one or the
other of the large centralizing plants.
In my opinion the constant "kick-
ing and finding fault with the hand
separator is driving our business away
to be swallowed up by the centralizing
plants.

To Get More Eoos.

The editor Of Poultry says: Other
things being equal. the hen provided
with food richest in protein and other
egg-making materials will produce
more eggs than the hen fed rations in
which these food elements are def
cient.
1t is a well-known fact that the
grains usually fed are deficient in pro-
TEN. That is why poultry relishes
animal life of all kinds, why hen will
chase a grasshopper clear across an
acre lot. She needs the animal food.
The wise poultry raiser. therefore.

Winterinq Bees.

In the very coolest climates, or at
least, where the winters are severe,
and the temperature runs for several
weeks below zero, cellar wintering
seems to prevail. Whether this Is be-
cause bees can be best wintered that
way or not, We cannot say; but it is
usually safer to follow the prevailing
custom. Indeed, some beekeepers say
1t is impossible for them to winter on
summer stands, even when packed in
hives OF the most improved pattern.
On the other hand, there are some
beekeepers who cannot winter indoors.
but always have success in outdoor
packing. For this latitude the out
door method generally gives the best
result-that is, the beginner seems to
succeed better.-American Cultivator.

Give the Horse Rest.

To Woodworking horse repose is
as much necessity as good food, but
tired though he may be, he is often
too shy to lie down, even when a good,
clean bed is provided for him. I'm
less horse lies down regularly his
rest is never complete, and his joints
and sinews will stiffen. While it is
true that some horses that sleep in a
standing position continue to work for
many years, 1t is equally true that
they would wear much better If they
rested naturally. Young, nervous hors-
es not infreQuently refuse to lie down
when first led to the stall, and when
introduced into town stable the habit
may be confirmed, unless inducements
are offered to overcome the dis
inclination.

capons vs.. Breeders.

A correspondent of Successful Poul-
try makes a statement which needs no
comment:
Pessimists say there is nothing new
under the sum-" That old adage Ito
put it mildly is fib. In this age of
most wonderful scientific progress We
all know and see many, many new
things Of unquestioned utility that
have belonged to no past age. This
something new" is not mere theory,
but safeguard and dollar-bringer for
raising earliest chicks successfully.
In January, 1906, we Matched with in
cubators $40 chicks of the same pure
breed. We put 420 chicks in the arti-
fetal breeders and gave 420 chicks to
twenty-one capons. Each capon had
twenty chicks to brood, which we
feared was too many. and If we were
doing 1t over again we would give
each capon fifteen chicks.
For the benefit of many readers who
don't know exactly what capon Is
let us explain: A capon is a young
rooster that has been unsexed by
surgical operation. 1t is then neither
a rooster nor a hen. Becomes lazy,
fat and sweet tempered, bearing like
relation to rooster as a steer does
to q bull. Capons will mother"
chicks as carefully as hens. We
bought these twenty-one capons at 81
each from Philadelphia commission
merchant They were nine months
old and averaged ten pounds each in
weight.
Every % days we took the chicks
from the capons and put new lot of
chicks under them fresh from the in
cubators, thus using the capons for
mothers to each lot of newly Matched
chicks, to make sure the chicks would
have an extra good start. then put
them in the breeders when 21 days old
Here is "the proof OF the pudding"
Out of the capon-mothered chicks we
lost five. OF the brooder chicks we
lost 49,
We. had an order from hotel for
broilers at two pounds weight at so
cents pound or one dollar each broil-
er. The capon chicks averaged two
pounds each in twelve weeks, tho
brooder chicks took fourteen and
half weeks to average two pounds.
They were all cared for and fed alike.
We started even and received $415
for capon broilers, and $377 for the
brooder lot. A difference of $3S in IA
vor OF the capon-started chicks. We
tried this over three times with like
results, then fattened and sold the
capon mothers In June, averaging IA
pounds each at 1920, which is 30 cents
a pound. This adds $500 more to
the capon's credit or a gain over ex-
elusive brooder raising of $S4.20.
We found that. the feed of the ca
pons and the oil for the breeders cost
approximately the same.

A stranae Test of Manhood.

The ancient clan Macleod used to ex-
erclse a strange test to prove the man
hood of their chieftans. At Dunvegan
castle, island of Skye, there is preserved
the large horn known as "Rory More's
horn" This capacious vessel holds
rather more than bottle and half Of
liquor. According to the old custom,
every laird of Macleod was obliged on
his coming of age to fill this horn with
claret and without once laying it down
to drain it to the dregs. This was
taken as a proof Of his manhood, and
he was then deemed a worthy sue
cessor to the lairds Of the past.-Dun-
