RIGHT WAY TO RUN A SEPARATOR

1t is useless to ask your butter-n1alSer
to turn out first class produce with
cream that has been abused before 1T
is delivereds
OF course. the cream must be kept
cool all the time. You cannot make
good product by keeping it in a warm
room.
A better way to take care of the
tcream is to lhave a shotgun can for
reach milking Just before going to the
factory, empty all this into the ship
ping can and deliver a good. clean
product.
If you must keep the separator in
the barn, have a good, tight partition
making clean, sanitary separator room.
Harmful bacteria may be harbored in
the filth upon the walls and floor of
the separator room. See that there is
no filth there.

A MOVABLE CORN CRIB

A good movable corn crib may be
built of barrel slaves. that is the walls,
the roof of lap siding or any kind of
roofing you want
For the side wallis use two lengths
of slaves and run pole on tho mid
die. as shown in the cut to nail the
slaves on and run the two rods
through the middle of the crib, one
through poles and one through plates.
The size of the crib is according to
how much corn you raise.
The walls must slant out a little
toward the top. as this will keep out
the rain better. The floor is tight.
This kind of a crib is quite cheap
and may be built of small poles nailed
close together If no barrel slaves are
at hand.
Such a crib keeps the corn in good
condition. 1t drys quickly and keeps
dry all the year around which is not
possible for corn kept in a tight gram
airy where it molds and spoils at once.

WHEN APPLES SHOULD BE PICKED.

The time for picking red apples is
commonly gagged by their color, and
that of yellow apples by the color of
the seeds The latter is the only Re
liable test of ripeness, for an apple
picked just as the seeds are turned
light brown, and before they become
dark around the edges, will be found
to have not only full flavor but the
best keeping quality. But red apples
are often left for some time after the
seeds indicate maturity to allow them
to put on more color, which they do
rapidly under the influence of the bright
days and cool nights of autumn.
Growers should bear in mind, how
ever, that to defer picking after the
seeds Indicate ripeness, invites water
core and shortens the life of the fruit
in storage often to a serious extent
with the mid-winter varieties.

AS a general rule the nock VIII not
do much during the month of August.
Some hens are still broody; some are
beginning to moult and one may expect
but few eggs for while.
Then, too, most of us are apt to
grow careless about the poultry bust
ness, since it is not, at present. bring
ing us in anything worth mentioning.
We neglect to clean out the drop
pings as often as we used to; the
roosts are never washed and aired out;
no fresh new nests take the place of
the old, filthy ones; while the heat
coupled with all these. produces scent
both nauseating and dangerous to the
flock.
Lice and mites thrive under these
conditions and unless we keep close
and constant watch they sneak in and
are playing havoc before we realize
it. So let's dip the hens about the
time theys begin to .moult and spray
the poultry house thoroughly with
some effective. homemade solution.
There are many such and they cost
next to nothing.
Let's wash the roosts with ten
quarts of good, strong soapsuds, to
which have been added quart OF
kerosene and some strong brine, or
use a good coat of whitewash.
Let's see that every atom of the
droppings is removed from the build
ing. then, to make sure we have done
a clean job, spade up the dirt floor IL
bury the last vestage of filth. This
should bring matters back to normal
and with an occasional spraying, ought
to insure the flock beginning the fall
and winter egg-laying campaign early.
SCIENCE AND FARM BOYS.
The sky-scraper newspaper editor re-
Gently asserted that "all the science
there is about farming can be easily
acquired by the young man as he grows
up with the farm and assimilates it
with the practice of agriculture"
1t is one of the common and most
dangerous mistakes to assume that any
boy born and raised on a farm is
natural farmer. There are as many
born on the farm who ought to be In
commercial life as there are boys born
in the city who ought to be farmers.
No matter where boy is born he must
have a natural love of farming and to
this he must apply science in his every
day work to become successful.
If the science of farming was taught
to farm boys there would be fewer
disconnected ones. Many a boy with
an active brain and a healthy ambi-
ton leaves the farm because he can
not see any scope for his activities.
He must have occupation for his brain
as well as his muscles and if he had
been taught the science of farming he
might have found plenty of both to
keep him from becoming lonesome and
might have remained on the farm.
The monotony of farm life is the
result of ignorance as to its wonderful
interest and possibilities and when
these are understood by either boy or
man, contentment and success always
follow.
