FRENCH MILK
 POWDER PROCESS
Article Produced Found by AnaIy- sis to Contain All of Con- stituents of Milk
 Except Water.

Th~ processes currently employed for making milk powder are based upon desiccatior by heat. In a pro cess recently devised in France by Le- comte and Lainville the action of cold Is substituted for that of heat. The milk Is poured into vessels similar to those which are used for producing blocks of artificial tee, and is cooled to a few degrees below the freezing point (about 2S5 deg. F0. Suitable precautions are taken to prevent the water of the milk from freezing In solid mass and to cause 1t to assume the form of fine snow. The congealed milk Is then placed in a centrifugal separator which revolves very rapidly. The snow crystals remain in the ma chine while the other parts of the milk are expelled in the form of the soft, greasy paste, which still con tains some water The desiccation Is completed by placing the paste in a drying room heated to moderate and uniform temperature. The milk pow der thus produced has been proved by analysis to contain all of the consti- tuents of the milk, except the water in an unaltered condition. The pro- cess is equally applicable to whole milk. and to milk deprived of part or all of it's cream.

 Cost of Putting Pound of Beef
 Onto Feeding Steer.

We have been laboring In season and out of season to induce farmers to build si1os. The silo is no longer an experiment. It has been used by dairymen with success for thirty years It was for a long time supposed that it could only be used in dairying, says the Wallace Farmer. We have found out now that it is almost as val uable to the man who grows stock as to the man who milks COWS. We arc finding out that silage very materially decreases the cost of putting a pound of beef onto a feeding steer. We have found out that it is good for the eve, for the brood sows, and for young stock of all kinds as we'll as for dairy cattle. The only animal on the place to which 1t is not safe to feed it is the horse; just why we do not know. It is perhaps entirely safe if of good qual- ity but dangerous if moldy.
 We are finding out still more about silage, namely, that by using sum- mer silo, one about half the size of the winter one, we can bridge over the droughts. which come in every coun-

EXCELLENT QUALITY OF MILK
Jersey Cow Is Unsurpassed for Beauty, Utility, Profit and Superiority
 of Product.

The milk of the Jersey COW will al ways be in great demand with the critical consumer, because it contains far greater proportion of nourishing solids and rich. highly favored, but ter fat than the milk of other breeds.
 The man who investigates the ad- vantage of the Jersey COW over the dairy breeds will generally invest his money in a Jersey COW, and the profits will demonstrate his wisdom.
 The Jersey COW yields as much profit as two or more ordinary COWS. She is healthy. vigorous and costs no more to keep than an inferior cow

REGULAR TIME FOR MILKING
Job Should Not Be Performed by Tired, Dirty Farm Hands, Just
 in From Field.

There is much loss in milking be- cause of having this work done by tired and dirty mixers. but the men doing the work are not to blame for being in this condition, says a writer In the Kimball's Dairy Farmer They come from the fields with their clothes covered with dust and perspiration, and as soon as they have their supper commence the milking Is 1t any won der that it Is often only half done? If farmers would make it rule not 10 compel the help to do milking out ot seasonable working hours they would experience much less trouble In SC curing help The milking should be made part of the days work and not an addition to it. Many farmers. espe- .cially where only ten or fifteen cows are kept, look upon this job as a side issue; that is, the milking can be done when they can't do anything else. The milking is as important as any part Of the work. and whether you are blowing or harvesting. make your plans so that when the time comes to milk fl can Be done without any delay. Again, the best results cannot be had from COWS unless they are mixed at regular hours,

GREEN RYE FOR MILK COWS
May Be Fed When It Heads Out and There Is More Nourishment in
 It at That Time.

Green rye may bc fed as soon as 1t heads out; there is then the most nourishment in the stalks. Cut when free of dew, and let 1t wilt few hours before feeding Feed small quantities at first half forkful may be given to each COW after the hay has been eaten When fed thus there Is no danger. of bloat or hOyen. The feeding of green feed to cattle should be in the hands of a careful man. and not given to boys or q careless hand. Attention to this rule will frequently save the life of valuable COW.
 Horses at work should not he given green feed. as il is liable to produce collie. Cows should not be turned out to pasture too early. Wait until tho grass has made some growth, and there is some Hourishment in the grass. Before turning out to grass give the COWS a feed of hay or straw first. After the hay is eaten they are turned on the pasture. For the first day or two let them graze. one or two hours. When the cows are accus' toned to the change they may remain out all day Experienced dairymen feed a small grain ration throughout the grazing season. If you are getting 16 cents per gallon for milk, 1t will pay to do this.

Suppose you cannot fill one mans silo before it is dry; you can easily remedy that by putting in water. We have done 1t and it works finely. You can even take the corn that stands in the field ready for husking and make good silage out of it if you put in water enough or you can plant some sorghum and corn, and let the abun- dance of moisture in the sorghum make for the deficiency in the corn.
 All these things are worth thinking about. What we want to impress upon your minds just now is that you cannot afford not to build silo if you are in the stock business. You can no more do without a manure spread
 CT or a grain drill There are some things that are we'll settled over most of our territory. There are sections, say in the extreme north, where it is more of a question as to whether one should build a silo or not, because these northern farmers can grow roots to much greater advantage than we can and silge Is not so practicable in a very long and cold winter on ac-

try in the civilized world at some sea son of the year With us the most dangerous time is in July and August which are usually droughty periods, when the grass Is short and flies are bad. We are finding out that by having a summer silo we can provide pasture out of the silo until the rains come in the fall
 Some of the readers may shake their heads at this, but we are telling them agricultural gospel truth. They may say: While we often have these dry periods in July and August. we do not always have them. Some years we have excellent pastures True. but your silage will keep almost as well as the fruit your wife keeps over from a year of abundance 10 year of want. Last year we fed on one of the farms belonging to the Wallace family silage that was two years old. Apparently it was just as good as the year 1t was made.
 Why do we talk about it now? Be cause. if you are going to have a silo this fall for either winter or summer use, you ought 10 be thinking about it; not about the building of 1t or the cost of 1t, although it is worthy of thought, but where you will plant your corn to necessitate the least haul ing and diminish the expense about what kind of silage you want, whether rich with corn or scant in corn. You can determine that by the thickness of planting If you want silage rich in corn to fatten steers, you want to plant it as you do for the market-for the maximum Of ears; but if you want 1t 10 feed to the dairy cows and want large yield of stock with small grain yield, you must rlant 1t thick
 The main reason we are talking about it now is because to put up a silo and use it economically you want to enlist the cooperation of your neighbors The same silage cutter and the same power will answer for two neighbors anyhow, and frequently three. but not more. Have you not a couple Of neighhors who would be ben efited by having silo? If they are not convinced of this, can you not get them 10 convince themselves by in, vestigating 1t? Then can you not ar range to cooperate in buying a cut ter and, what is quite as important, in filling the seperate silos? Can you not agree to plant an early corn and later variety?

The safe is a box just big enough to hold two bottles. side by side, and is divided into two vertical compart- ments. The door has spring lock and the key is held by the house holder, the milkman not requiring any. In the fact that the milkman needs no key lies the feature of the device. In the bottom of one Com- partment is a trapdoor that strikes the lock on the front door as it is pushed up and opens the latter.

he could neither read nor write. is dead

Leahy, who was seventy. came to

He felt that, having accumulated a
million himself, he was entitled to a
residence in the millionaire colony.
The 100000 made by the sale Of the

Nuremberg Profited by Demand From
American Children.

Nuremberg Profited by Demand From
American Children.
The bulk Of the American toy pur-
chase at Nuremberg for 1910 has been
figured, and it Is notable that 1t Is
considerably larger than in 1909.
For the first nine months Of last
year the declared value Of the toys
shipped from that district to the Unit.
ed States was $1,854,319. This is
$246,186 greater than the shipments
for the same period Of 1909 and only
$5O,O5S less than the shipments for the
entire year. Toy exports to America
for the last quarter will probably
reach $4,000. making the total for
the year something over $1,000, 900, an
increase of more than Is per cent over
1909.
These toys pay an average Of IS per
cent duty, or total Of about $4,000,
and thus without taking account OF
freight they cost the American import
ers in round figures about 100000.
From the best information 0btainable
100 per cent is a small figure to add
for freight charges, profits of whole
salers and profits of retailers. Thus
the toys bought in the single city OF
Nuremberg last year for the amuse-
ment of the boys and girls Of the
nUited States cost the American do.
nors the round sum Of 100000.
