level and be kept clean and we'll oiled.
The oil should be thin, or light, so that
1t will not gum the wearing parts. A
heavy oil will make the machine run
hard and will gum quickly on small
high speed bearings, All the bearings
of the machine should be frequently
flushed with coal oil. 1t is we'll to make
a run about once in two or three
weeks, using coal oil on all the bear
ings. This keeps the parts free from
gum and washes out grit or sand that
may have blown into them.
1t is an excellent plan to have a cover
of closely woven cloth or oilcloth that
can be kept over the machine while 1t
is not in operation. This will keep out
dust and sand and will add materially
to the lasting powers of the machine.
The separator should be set up on a
good solid floor, so that it will not
move or sway as the operator turns the
crank.
The life of a separator depends main
ly upon the factors just pointed out.
A machine that is allowed to run gum
my or dirty may wear out In a year.
If kept free from dirt and well oiled it
will last number of years.

A GALLOWAY COW.

progressive he is not long in detecting
their value, and the most successful
breeders of pure bred cattle attain
their position only through years Of
patient endeavor, beginning with one
pure bred sire which possibly cost him
800 and looked very much more I'M
reasonable than did $500 or $500 few
years later.
Fright here wish to make mention
as to prices. have received letters
from a few breeders who say that
they have to sell their bulls for $40 to
$50 per head. A farmer can well afford
to pay more money than that for a
bull and should be made to do so. ANY
farmer can well afford to pay $3.50 for
a good bull to use on a herd of com
mon cows and then make a large profit
by the investment. But the great
mass of farmers are still unconvinced
There Is not a farmer in this whole
country that would even hesitate at
$3.50 for a good work horse simply for
the work there is in him. Teams are
selling from $500 to $500. Is 1t not a
strange judgment of values that will
hesitate at paying that price for an
animal that will put many times $50
more selling value into his herd for
years to conner

Cumption On The Farm.

Bad tools will spoil the best
workman.
The worst bedfellow in the
world is worry; kick it out!
One can very often cut down
his expenses by cutting out his
extravagances.
The average farmer will find
plowshares more profitable than
mining shares.
The man who is always putting
his foot down is pretty sure in
time to encounter a tack.
Occasionally we meet with
people who are like some of the
modern bedsteads-all brass.
The sundries" item in a
mans personal account may
often cover a multitude of sins.
No man is fitted to train horses
who is not thoroughly sympa-
thetic and brimful of horse
sense.
Owner of the coop: Who's
in there?" Rastus: "Aint no.
body in here 'ceppin' us chick
ems"
About the most uncomfortable
and unsatisfying work in which
a man can engage is thrashing
his wildcat crop.
Do you keep account of every
thing on the farm? If not, how
are you going to tell whether you
are gaining or losing?
Pigs are quick money, for in
six or seven months they are
ready for market, at a big profit
if we'll fed and cared for.
We need not wear ourselves
out worrying about what will
happen when the soil wears out.
Such a calamity will not happen
in our time.
Don't be too much impressed
with what everybody says"
Sometimes this everybody" is
nothing more than some neigh
borhood gossip.
If pigs show an unthrifty con-
dition something is wrong in the
feed or management. Find out
the trouble and, remedy it, OF
you will lose money.

Kindness is the only profitable policy
to pursue with live stock. The man
with a loud or harsh voice and In

for the best care of all live stock.
