U. s. AND o A

There will be some criticism and
a great deal of commentator for the
provision passed by the lower branch
of Tor federal aid to good
roads. This aid is to be given along
rural mail routes. The amount to be
expended varies from SIS to SIS per
mile, annually.
North Dakotans are quite interested
in the measure because Of the siren
uous efforts made in support Of the
measure by Congressman
some people will insist that the ap-
preparation viii open up opportunities
for special graft-that the money will
be somewhat thrown away-or that 1t
will give politicians increased oppor-
tunity for building up machines.
On the other hand the necessity for
good roads is now so firmly impressed
on the people that the appropriation
will be generally endorsed. 1t passed
the house by a large majority.
1t is in the interests Of the farmers
and the rural communities nj North
Dakota-with it's many rural mail
routes-wiu receive a great deal of
benent.
The proposed Improvement to high
w~aysNglong which mail carriers travel
will result in improved and speedier
service rural route patrons and bet
ter roads for the farmers Of the ter
ritory in which the roads are con-
structed. The Improvement Of the
mail route roads will be missionary
work-and lead to increased efforts
on other roads to make the country
highways uniform.

will erect warehouses. Other induce
ments are being held out to get a

North Dakota potatoes are gaining
an international reputation for their
excellence. They are in demand over
less favored sections Of the country.
In parts OF California North Dakota
potatoes bring more money per pound
than the famous oranges, grown in that
state.
OF course prices may not always
continue to be as Ugh as at present
but the indications are that the de-
mand win continue sufficiently strong
to make the industry In this state a
decidedly profitable one.

MAY

The month of May is always a fav-
orite in North Dakota. If a flicker
tail was asked to pick out three Of his
favorite months it is quite possible
May would be one of them. Still May
is quite tickle. Some times it is balmy,
calm and altogether delightful. Again
it has all the whirling zephyrs of
March and all the wet and showery
days OF April.
1t is a popular month with the
anglers, the baseball fans and other
outdoor people. They always well
come May with open arms.
North Dakotans hope that the pres
ent May will be strictly on its good

RIDING ON

There is an ordinance against rid
ing bicycles on the sidewalks. For
some years this has been ignored.
One reason was that the streets in
the Third, Fourth and Fifth wards
were in such bad shape that it was
impossible to ride on them. Bicy-
clists either had t. use the sidewalks
Or walk.
In this way the public tolerated
the violation of the ordinances I'M
til the bikers now seem to think they
have exclusive rights or the side
walks. They ride at high speed. If
aged men or women or little children
don't get out of the way they are
bumped into and injured.
The bike riders should remember
they are using the sidewalks only on
the tolerance of the public. They
should also be impressed with the fact
that they are violating the city or
dinance-and are subject to a fine for
each time they are on the sidewalks.
Should the bikers show a reason
able amount of courtesy and regard
for the rights of others-it is probable
that riding on the sidewalks will not
be so bitterly opposed while the paw
ing is in progress. But if their reck-
less methods are continued the people
will demand that the mayor and the
police enforce the ordinance.

Persuaded 'by his friends" and his
law partner, r. A. Nestos, member
Of the executive committee of the
North Dakota Progressive Republican
league, and leader Of the progressives
in the legislature, the erstwhile stall
wart politician from Minot has seen
a great light and viii make the cam
paign this yea as an insurgent. More
than a touch Of humor, not to say
pathos, is intermingled, in the can
didacy of c. A. Johnson and Jas. A.
Buchanan, the two, "also rams" Of the
republican party in North Dakota.
The Farmer Candidate" and the In
surgent of the North forgetting the
past and setting their faces sternly
toward the high mark to which they
have been called, have plunged into
the fray, and will fight to the bitter-or
glorious end. They brandish in their
hands the sword of insurgency; on
their escutcheon the words-"I want
Office" and from their lips the
clarion cry, Insurgents, may we
sometime lead you to victory-but vic
tory or defeat we must be your lead

Pembina Pioneer Express: c. A.
Johnson of Minot has again declared
his desire to occupy the gubernatorial
chair and is having petitions circulated
to get his name on the republican
ballot for the primaries. Mr.. Johnson
has twice met defeat for governor,
after receiving the nomination and it
ought to be enough. The republican
voters ought to take into consideration
the ultimate result In voting for a
man like Johnson, and vote accord
ingly. The democrats want nothing
better than to see a twice-defeated
candidate come up the third time in
this state where the faIlacies of the
republicans have elected a democratic
governor for three successive terms.
1t is high time that the republican
party Of this state come to their
senses in place OF following fantom
ideas at their own expense.
Beach Chronicle: The Chronicle,
prior to the North Dakota presidential
primary, contended that La Toilette
was not an issue in the presidential
campaign, and later developments
prove that we were correct. He has
not been considered seriously outside
of his own state in any OF the primar-
les held to date. Tuesday, in Massa-
ehusetts. he received but 1000 votes
out of $4,000 cast, and the Associat-
ed press says: .Ia Toilette Is a joke.
The small vote for La Toilette was one
Of the features of the primary, and
many towns reported without a vote

man, but as a presidential candidate
he is a joke in every sense Of the
word. Taft carried Massachusetts by

The only Baking Powder made

Ripley County democrat. (Doniphan, Mo.) 1905-1920, 1912-11-29

The amount of centrifugal force
exerted outward from the center on
the milk In separator bowl Is deter
mined by the speed and diameter Of
the bowl. AS the diameter of the
bowl is decreased the speed at which
1t is revolved must be increased or
there will be a loss of centrifugal
force.
This can also be illustrated by
swinging a ball attached to the end of
q string in circle. The greater the
length Of the string, the greater the
pull exerted. AS the string is short
ened, it will be noticed that the pull
1t exerts decreases unless the speed at
which 1t is whirled Is increased.
Therefore, in bowl, which has com.
paratively large diameter, the maxi.
mum centrifugal force is secured
without running the bowl at an ex.
eessively high rate of speed This
means greater durability because it
reduces the strain upon the operating
mechanism.
Centrifugal force is what causes
separation In all cream separator
bowls, but there are several conditions
which affect the thoroughneSs of its
work. The first separator bowls made
were hollow and centrifugal force was
required to act upon the milk en-
masse. 1t was necessary that these
bowls be revolved at an excessively
high rate Of speed to insure sufficient
centrifugal force being developed to
force thu milk solids, other than but
ter fat, through the thick wall of milk
to the outer edge of the bowl. Fur
thermore. the results were uncertain
as there was no provision made In
these bowls to prevent the informing.
ling of cream and skim milk that had
been separated.
Most separator bowls are now equip
ped with an interior device composed
Of q central milk.feeding shaft and a
number Of disks. The disks divide
the milk into thin layers or sheets and
centrifugal force acts upon each sheet
of milk independent Of the others.
The disks increase the capacity Of the
bowl and reduce the speed at which II
must be reyolved by eliminating the
necessity Of forcing the skim milk
solids through a thick wall Of milk.
! The use Of disks has now become q
standard feature Of separator con
struction.
While it is true that the separator
bowl does the actual work Of separa-
tlon, the mechanism which revolves
the bowl Is Of the utmost importance
In fact, the design and construction

Spiral cut gears are now used in the
best separators because they run
smoothly and prevent larring, loose or
unsteady motion, or h3ck-lash. They
do this because they have four teeth
In mesh where spur cut gears have
one tooth in mesh at time. The
slightest iarring or unsteady motion

THE SELECTION OF A cREAM

Bureau

By 7. T. wiLLouGHBG Of the n Hc Servies
Bureau
The selection of separator Is not .
difficult matter II the farmer will
bear In mind few simple facts.
Cream and skim milk are separated
In the cream separator by the action
of centrifugal force. Centrifugal force
is a force exerted outward from the
center Of the separator bowl and Is
produced by revolving the bowl at a
high rita. of speed, Just what the
action OF centrifugal force is can DO
best explained by simple and often.
used illustration.
When ball attached to the end Of
string is swung around in q circle,
the ball, because of its weight, will
exert an outward pull. The force
exerted on the ball, which makes it
try to get away from the central point
around which it is whirling, is centrl-
fugal force. When whole milk enters
the separator bowl 1t is acted upon by
centrifugal force and the heavy milk
solids are thrown to the outer wall of
the bowl. The butter fat, which is
the lightest part Of milk, Is not so
strongly affected, and gathers near
the center Of the bowl where it mixes
with small amount OF skim milk and
forms cream.

The quality OF material used in
making the gears will materially affect
the amount OF wear they will stand.
Tough close grained iron Is the best
material for this purpose as it wears
smoothly and does not grind or cut.
The shafts, splndIc5, and frame of a
separator are among the most expen.
siYe parts of the machine and should
be protected from wear as much as
possible, lnthc better grade Of cream
separators, phosphur bronze bushlngs
are used to protect the frame and
operating mechanism. This is very
smooth, tlne-grained metal which does
not cut the parts moving in it, 1t Is
slightly softer than the steel shafts
and spindles which move in it, and
consequently bears the burden of wear.
Herein lies its value 3s the bushings
can be replaced at very small cost
whereas it would be q considerable
expense to replace the shafts, spindles,
and frame.
The bowl spindle or neck bearing of
a separator is one Of the features a
farmer should carefully investigate.
The purpose of this bearing is to keep
the bowl properly centered and to pre-.
/ vent shocks or vibrations from being
transmitted TO the bowl from the
gears. This bearing to be satisfactory
must be strong, simple, and free from
the necessity Of difficult adjustments.
The fewer parts the bearing has the
better, providing, the parts are prop.
erly made.
