was in drying up the soggy earth

MIX md 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 filed with
milk, and that the COW releases or
withholds 1t just as she chooses. But
the udder is a mandatory; 1t 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-

Toxic, July 20.-The Kokumin, one
of the most influential of the Japanese
newspapers, and which is generally re-
garded as the mouthpiece of Marquis
Katsura, the premier. in matters per-
tanning to the governments policy, in
an article today discussed the situation
between Japan and China and strikes a
somewhat alarmist note.
1t was expected, says the article,
that the withdrawal of the proposal to
refere to The Hague arbitration tri-
bunal the differences between China
and Japan, preceded the adoption OF
what was hoped would be conciliatory
policy by China. But this expectation
has not been realized. China now pro
poses wholly unacceptable terms and
refuses to reply to Japan's request for
reconsideration. The article concludes
"The Japanese government is exer.
cising all possible patience, but is not
carrying its endurance to the point Of
sentimentality. Unless China's MOOD
changes before the conclusion of the
current month, Japan will be obliged
to assume different attitude"

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-

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 Is
poured into a cracked DISH" all is
lost that is put into an unthrifty
sheep-worse than lost often. for a
diseased sheep may do great damage
to the flock. and when one loses thrift
II loses its natural power to resist dis
ease. Nature has marked such a one
for destruction. and the shepherd
should forestall nature by disposing Of
