The Sand Hill Plum

One OF the very few native Okla
plum. This plum grows on the sandy
dunes which accompany with more or
less the regularity the course OF the
rivers IN western and central parts
Of Oklahoma. These plums have un-
doubtedly grown here for ages. Coro-
nado, the Spanish explorer who passed
through this plains country over three
hundred and fifty years ago. speaks
Of these plums and the refreshment
they offered. The bushes are low,
seldom rising over four feet high, and
they appear to thrive best In the thin
nest and most sterile sand. OF late
years. cattle and otner animals have
killed them out in many places, but
they still persist in many neighbor.
hoods. They are usually productive,
and no season appears dry enough to
lnIure them. All OF the early settlers
In the prairie states remember these
plums as the one fruit during the first
few years when cultivated fruits were

most instances too scarce 20 have

The quality Of the sand hill plum Is
difficult to Judge. The fact that they
were usually eaten without any other
fruits competing Tor favor made them
seem all the better, and II is difficult
to convince an lnhabitant OF the pio-
neer days that there are any plums
OF better flavor or texture than the
sand plums. As the writer remembers
them, they had a sweet rich flavor,
but were somewhat lacking in texture

years later, when the writer left that

DAIRYlNG

The two greatest inventions OF i'm.
portance to the dairy farmer arc the
cream separator and the Babcock test.
er BY the use OF the Babcock tester
the farmer can tell whether his sep
arator Is skimming clean and taking
out all Of the butter fat or leaving a
portion OF IL in the skinned milk TO
be lost The farmer can also tell by
the Babcock test which OF his COWS
give per cent milk and which
per cent BY the milk scales he can
tell which gives 5000 pounds OF milk
In year and which GOOO pounds. II
she gives only 5000 pounds of milk
and 1t contains 3 per cent butter fat
then the COW produces 80 pounds OF
butter fat In year. II she gives 5000
pounds and its tests per cent then
she produces $50 pounds OF butter fat.
Under Oklahoma conditions the 90

loser to her owner, while the / so pound
COW would produce a nice profit. Now
you see what the Babcock Test can
do In wedding out the Improbable

able ones.
The Value Of the Cream Separator.
The cream separator is one OF the
greatest aids that has come to the
dairy farmer. II has made possible
the extensive operation OF dairy farms
in communities remote from the imme
date vicinity Of local creamery. The
following indicates its great value or

systems OF creaming, more butter IA

separator and undoubtedly this fgur,
is approximately correct.

Of saving time and labor in the dairy
This is on account Of the loss OF time
and labor required in handling the
milk, also economy OF room for settina

is necessary with the old.fashioned

3, Less time. labor and expense Is
required on account OF trips to the
creamery to deliver the cream.

pigs.

day l took a woolen cloth, put little
kerosene oil on it, and rubbed both
