HOW SEPARATOR is WORKED
Pulls Milk Away From Cream as 1t Is
WhirIed Around BowI-Speed
Is Big Aid.

Cream rises from milk by gravity.
The fat in the milk Is lighter and
rises to the surface, but 1t takes q
long time to do 1t.
Tie separator pulls the milk away
from the cream as it is whirled
around the bowl. 1t acts just as q
stone tied to a string and swung
around the head. The faster it is
swung the harder the pull.
When the milk is placed In the
bowl and the latter is whirled around
at tremendous speed the heavier por-
tons of the milk are drawn to the
bettom and the fat and lighter por-
lions to the top. The whole volume in
the bowl becomes arranged in layers,
the pure milk separated from the fat
goes to the very bottom, that not per-
fectly separated rising toward the top
and the fat or cream slipping of the
surface.
Now, the faster the bowl is re-
volved the cleaner the milk will be
Skinned" because the centrifugal
force is greater. The slower the bowl
is revolved the more fat there will be
left in the milk. Simple, isn't it?

strong influence in promoting a love
of gardening.
Apart from the beauty of this gar
den, it's wildness and the numberless
plants one is glad to see in England
under conditions differing from those
in which they live in their native coun-
try. there is also here a rock garden.
A rock garden made as it should be,
planted with such flowers as aubrietia.
alyssum, arabs, etc., is rock garden
founded naturally. There can be
grown many beautiful flowers from the
Alps and Himalayas. This one at
Leonardslee to those who love flowers
is a pure delight. A mass of color,
wandering walks, here splash of blue
and there a splash of yellow, then sud-
denly view of streaming water which
adds to the beauty of the wildness we
love so much, make up whole which
gives thousand new ideas to those
who are devoted to their gardens.
Nothing to offend the eye, but every
thing planned for the sake of the flow
ers brought from the Alps and else
whare that will enable them to attain
to and show all their natural beauty.
Leonardslee is garden happily stu
ated. and when one walks on the hill
top the breath of the sea seems to float
across this mass of flowers. Beyond
the mere pictorial beauty of the place,
there is something which appeals to
those who have an eye that can see
more than the mere picture, and that
is the development of those flowers in
which Sir Edmund Loder takes a de-
light.
It is not given to everyone to see so
many rhododendrons growing as if
they we're in their native land; but it
is much more pleasurable to see the
seedlings which have been raised in
this beautiful Sussex home. Here we
have under certain conditions a beau
tiful English garden, color, fragrance
and everything that one wants to sur
round an English home. 1t is a gar
den for the specialist. Sometimes the
gardens for the specialists are most un.
interesting; but at Leonardslee we
have knowledge and the pictorial love
of flowers truly and happily blended
together. The specialist can revel in
this garden, and those who do not
know the rhododendron from the aza
lea can appreciate the beauty and
scent of their flowers.

There are a great many different

production of certified milk, any OF
which are an Improvement over the
old open pail which has no provision
for keeping out dirt and which should
not be used in any dairy.
Generally speaking, the sanitary
pals have small opening. Some are
provided with a strainer through
which the milk passes in entering the
pail. This strainer consists in some
cases of metal wire, but is not so cat

REMOVING THE YELLOW TINT
How Delicate Embroidery, Long Pack
ed, May Be Restored to
Proper Color.

A Young woman who was given half
a dozen antique hand-embroidered
round collars and under sleeves OF
exquisite stitchery found them just
the style to use with round-neck and
kimono sleeves.
The drawback was the yellow tint
from years Of packing. An Cd col
ored laundress succeeded in whiten-
ing them without acids or weaking
fabrics made delicate with age. This
is the way to do It:
The pieces are put into cold water,
which is thick with pure white soap
and a drop of bluing. This is allowed
to come to the boil Remove the arti-
cles at once, rinse through several
lukewarm waters, finally through a
bluing water, and put on the grass
while wet to bleach.
Do not rub or squeeze hard. Some
times it is necessary to repeat the
washing and boiling If the pieces are
very yellow.
When bleached put the right side
down on the ironing board, smooth
edges into place and iron under
linen cloth. Do not use too hot an
iron, as old materials scorch easily.
If the grass is dusty put pieces on
clean towel. They bleach better when
fiat on the grass, though sometimes
they need an after rinsing.
Never permit old embroidery to be
CASUALLY done I'M. If you cannot do
them yourself find an expert.

FEW WORDS FROM DR.. COGAN
Gives Out Advice Which is AS Good
Now as 1t Was 800 Years
Ago.

Rather more than 800 years ago
there lived in England a ruddy-faced,
jolly old doctor. His name was Thorn
as Cogan. The name Cogan makes one
suspect that there was bit of the
brogue to the old doctors tongue and
that before he started in long, long
life a-doctoring English people he had
himself stored up health and strength
on the lean diet of an Irish cottager.
Anyhow, Dr. Cogan, in quaint old
book Of general advice, put down these
words-words so true that they are as
good now as they were more than 800
years ago. Let's let good old Docther
Cogan write us an editorial about our
eating:
THE quantitie of meates to be eaten
ought of all men greatly to be regard
ed, for therein lyeth no small occasion
of health or sickness, of life or death.
For as want uf food consumeth the
very substance of our flesh, so doth ex-
cesse and surfeit extinguish and suffo-
cate natural heat wherein life consist
eth.
Use a measure in eating, that thou
maist live long.
The greatest occasion why men
passe the measure in eating is varietie
of meats at one meale. When we are
we'll assisted with one dish or two,
then come other more DELEGATE and
procureth us by that meanes to eat
more than nature doth require. Thus
varitie bringeth Us to excesse. and
sometimes to surfeit also. Common is
that saying and most true-that more
die by surfeit than by the sword.
And even If nature be not actually
sickle upon a full gorge, yet they are
drowsie and heavie and more DESTROYS
to loyter than to labor. Yea, the
minde and wit is so oppressed and
overwhelmed with excesse that f Ay'
eth, as 1t were, drowned for time
and unable to use his force"

Pasteurized Cream.

During recent years the pasteuriza-
ton of cream for butter making seems
to be gaining favor in our best
creameries. In fact this practise has
become almost a necessity in those
localities where cream of all kinds
is gathered from various sources. The
butter maker has come to realize
that if he is to have control over his
finished product, so that he shall have
some assurance of the constant and
uniform quality of the output, he must
resort to means by which he can elm.

The Paying Cows.

The Ohio experiment station has
found a man in that state who is a
thrifty farmer of the smaller class,
owning but small bit Of land, who
commenced 20 years ago with a single
COW. Even now he has but ten cows,
but they individually produce from
10000 to $4,000 pounds of milk per
year. The gross income from his
cows varies from $160 to $219 per
cow per year. Average feed bill is
about $55 per cow per year. This
dairyman kept a record of what his
COWS and their ancestors had done
for the whole 20 years Of his expert
ence as dairyman. He bred his best
cows to the very best sires he could
secure, and locked more to the per-
Torrance at the pail than to dairy
type or conformation.

Ell IA dens In England-a garden In

Edmund Loder, Bart, whose
love of flowers has made fairyland

characteristics.
Tree and shrub, winding walks,
glimpses of even the sea itself COM

But there is something more than
scenery. Sir Edmund Loder has
knowledge that few possess of the
Himalayan rhododendrons. Masses OF
the rarer species, with their wealth of
flowers and vigor of growth, arrest the
eye of the visitor. There are to be
seen the exquisite Rhododendron Auck-

blandfordianum and seedlings OF great
beauty. A book might well be written

among the fairest flowers of the world.
Rhododendrons and azaleas make color

Uses of Foulard.

Foulard is becoming one CT the

is used not only for entire dresses and
for trimmings, but also for lining
loose coats, being especially favored
with those of shantung and like ma
terials. 1t is an excellent material to
choose for frook for weekend visits,
as it packs wel., and is easily shaken,
after unfolE.ag, into smeothness and
freshness.
Plain toulard Is supplemented for
these purposes with the dotted and
striped weaves and those printed in
ting flowers or in oriental designs.
Altogether it is a wise choice for the
woman who must be economical in
dress.
