Sennrating the Sexes.

A great deal is said of the neces-
sity for separating the sexes, some
insisting that it should be done as
soon as sex can be determined. In
Asiatics It is not often necessary until
the chicks are pretty we'll grown. In
fowls Of the Mediterranean varieties
separation must be made quite early.
In American varieties it depends upon
the stock and the stage of develop
ment of the individual cockerels.
Frequently the removal of a few of
the cockerels disposed t. annoy the
pullets makes it possible to keep
males and females peaceably togeth-
er until well along in the season. In
many cases the separation can be
made early as we'll az later, the
chicks being divided into small lots
anyway, and it being just as easy to
separate by sex. - Farmers Home

Work OF the Daiyv Division.

Prof, Webster, chief OF the dairy
division of the National Department
of Agriculture, says that his division
has conducted an experiment in maxi
ing some 5000 pounds OF butter un-
der varying conditions, and carrying
Il for storage for several months at
different temperatures. The conclu-
sion reached is that light sailing and
low temperature with the use OF
sweet cream give much the best re-
suits for storage butter. Further ex-
perimeAfs with an additional 1000
pounds OF butter are now in progress.
Suggesting that the butter makers
should take kindly TO the work OF the
government. Prof. Webster replied:
'Yes, they do as a rule. We have
'butted in as the saying goes, be-

nnin Crows and the Potato Bug.

T.. D, Maize. of Dickson, Tenn,
who is an experienced gardener and
potato grower, says that the rain
crow is the only bird in the country
which will destroy the potato bug.
This bird somewhat resembles the
common dove, both in size and color.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Maize says, this
bird is becoming extinct, and unless
protected by rigidly enforced laws,
will disappear, he fears, within the
next few years. A pair of them nest
ing about his garden the present year
has devoured thousands of the Color
ado beetle, while all other birds have
scorned the potato patch menu with

Stringy Cream and Milk.

Excessive bacteria is, of courEe,
the real cause of the stringy cream
and milk frequently complained
Dairyman says;
The books say but little about
stringy cream, but a good deal about
stringy or ropy milk. If the milk
when first drawn shows no ropiness
or stringiness, but after standing
twelve to thlrty-siy hours, develops
a thlckening and stringy appearance,
there is no question but what bacte-
ria are the cause of the trouble
There are many kinds of bacteria
which produce this condition, but 1t
Is enough for our present purpose 70
say bacteria without going into the
special forms which the bacteriolo-
gists have discovered.
Very frequently the milk is seeded
with these bacteria from the water
used in washing and rinsing the pals,
cans and other milking vessels. This
suggests at once that these milking
vessels should be thoroughly steril-
lied before being used. To do this
they should be subjected for some
minutes to live steam or to absolutely
boiling water-simply not water il
not enough, it must be boiling. Pour
into the can and then cover and allow
the steam TO kill everything that has
life that may be in the seams or on
the sides of the vessel.
Another source is in the stagnant
pools In which cows love to wade and
the grass and weeds through which
| they travel. In this care, bacteria
gets upon the legs and upon the ud-
der and fianks Of the cows and during
tho process Of milking some of them
are dislodged and fall into the milk
where they rapidly multiply and in
time produce a stringy character OF
the milk or cream.
stu another source may be In the
dust OF the stable, which falling into
the milk pals seeds the milk with
these offensive bacteria.
In either OF these cases,the remedy
| Is, OF course, to avoid the cause

A Ringing Utterance.

An utterance which has the right
ring. and which finds response in
| the hearts of thousands of good citi-
zens who might not have had the
courage to make it, or the grace of
speech to put II so we'll, Is the reply
which Bishop Hoss, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, made to
some politicians and newspapers In
Tennessee friendly to the liquor inter-
ests, when they intimated that the
Bishop had no right to say what he
had been saying about the traffic, and
that it would be to his advantage and
to the profit and credit of the church
IL the Bishop should leave off med
ding with politics. These are the
words in which the Bishop made an
swer to the suggestion

heritance. 1t came to me from hon.
est and stout-hearted men who helped

ing to crack them over the heads of

Possibly the liquor war has en-
tered upon new phase by the United
States Brewers Association having
bound its members to sell no beer to
dealers whom any brewer has placed
under a ban. But we shall sound no
dirge for the Anti-Saloon League
until more is known about the ban
and the placing of it. Doubtless. a
systematic and general wedding out
of undesirable patrons is one of the
moves needed to rehabilitate malt
liquors and all who traffic in them.
Certainly, the gravest evils of alco-
hol, direct and indirect, are those of
cheap spirituous beverages, red
eye" BLACK joe" and less euphon-
ious variants of fusel oil. Those
brewers see clearly who have advo-
Gated separate licenses for the two
classes of beverages, and also the is
suing of but one sort of license to
each Galoon. Even with this arrange
ment, however, the beer saloon will
not vindicate itself so long as the
blacklisting of disreputable bars is
left to individual brewers, as the AS
sociation seemingly leaves it. Free
competition will operate in the future
as in the past; each brewer, fighting
hard for profits, will turn a lenient
eye upon his own bartenders and Gus
toners. But once let a National or a
State committee sit as moral Judge,
with power to restrict the sales of
all Association members, and thS

Intemperance and Poverty in Albany

Few Albanians would like to be-

of New York State similarly situated
There seems no good reason why
such should be the case; neither
would they like to believe that there
is a greater amount of poverty in
this county than in such other cout-
ties. The report of the State Board
OF Charities for the year ending Sep
tember so, 1907, sets forth facts rel
ative to intemperance and pauper-
ism in our city and county which
seem to indicate that we are in a
much worse condition in these re-
spects than the other counties of the
State containing second class cities.
Beginning October /, 1907, and end

of Albany because of intemperance; (;
