The Farm Cream Separator.

Butter making in the home dairy
and creamery has been almost revo-
lutionized by the introduction of the
farm separator, which separates
cream from milk by centrifugal
process. The shallow pan or crock
system and the deep-setting system
have been largely eliminated, and
with their exit considerable part of
the drudgery of the household disap-
peared. The farmer is now no longer
required to make the daily trip to the
creamery; he can retain the skim milk
to feed his calves and pigs and de-
liver the cream, sweet, every other
day, when properly cared for, and
this substitution of cream delivery for
milk delivery by creamery patrons
saves them labor and millions of dol
lars yearly in expense.-Report Secre-
tary United States Department Of
Agriculture.

Milk and Milking.

Many people believe that milk is
ready-made and stored in the udder Of
the cow simply awaiting the mixer.
This impression is corrected by the
statement of the well-known scientist
John Burroughs, who says: Most
persons think that giving down or
holding up the milk by the COW is a
voluntary act. In fact, they fancy
that the udder is a vessel filled with
milk, and that the cow releases or
withholds it just as she chooses. But
the udder is a mandatory; it is
filed with blood from which the milk
is manufactured while you milk This
process is controlled by the cows
nervous system; when she is excited
or in any way disturbed, as by a
stranger, or by taking away her calf
or any other cause, the process is ar
rested and the milk will not flow. The
nervous energy goes elsewhere. The
whole process is as involuntary as is
digestion in man and is disturbed or
arrested in about the same way.-In-
diana Farmer.

Stoppage of Milk FIo>y.

A very common trouble in every
dairy is to find an animal with the
point of the teat closed, either due to
a bruise of teat itself or to infection
of the milk duct which causes a lit
tie scab to form, and unless this is
properly handled with care and clean
illness the infection is apt to cause
loss of the entire quarter. Thoroughly
wash the part in an antiseptic solu-
ton; then dip teat plug into heal
ing ointment and insert it, allowing
same to remain from one milking to
another. In this manner closure can
be overcome in very simple and sat
isfactory way. A milking tube should
not be used if it can possibly be avoid
ed, as there is much danger of infect
ing the entire quarter by it's use

igor in the Flock.

The period of usefulness of good
sheep varies much with the breed as
well as with individuals of the same
breed. Some become improbable at
three or four years of age, others at
ten or twelve or even older. Whenever
a sheep begins to show signs of weak
ness, evidence of disease or lack of
thrift and vigor it should be removed
from the flock. "All is lost that i
poured into a cracked DISH" all is
lost that is put into an unthriftv
sheep-worse than lost often, for a
diseased sheep may do great damage
to the flock, and when one loses thrift
it loses its natural power to resist dis
ease. Nature has marked such one
for destruction, and the shepherd
should forestall nature by disposing of
it.-Orange Judd Farmer.
