THE SELECTION OF A CREAM
SEPARATOR
BY T. F. wILLoUoHBY of the INC Service
Bureau

BY T. F. WlLoUoHBY of the INC Service
Bureau
The selection of a separator is not a
difficult matter if 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
high rate of speed. Just what the
action of centrifugal force is can be
best explained by simple and often
used Illustration
When ball attached to the end of
a string is swung around in a 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 centri-
fugal force When whole milk enters
the separator bowl it 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 a small amount of skim milk and
forms cream.

few years as he win realize that he
has a machine that will do good work
for many years. That is the real test
of a separator after all. Any separ-
atOr that will develop centrifugal force
will do good work for time, but for

Reasons for Crop Rotation
By George P. KOCH in Washington Agricultural

The reasons for the rotation Of crops
are very numerous and as important as
they are numerous. First, when plan
CT rotation is followed one crop tends
to correct the faults of the soil which
another previous crop has made and
thus the soil is kept on balance. The
inequalities are thus worked out by the
average of many treatments. One crop
may be very shallow feeding crop as,
for instance, wheat or oats or other
shallow growing grains, thus all the
fertility Of the soil is taken from the
first four or five inches AS a rule the
nitrogen and phosphoric acid are most
abundant III the first four inches and
potash and lime deeper in the subsoil,
because these elements have a greater
tendency to leech; so when a deep
booted crop is followed by shallow
rooted one these elements are brought
from the subsoil and when the roots of
the deep-rooted crops decay these ele
ments are nearer the surface within the
reach of the shallow-rooted crops. Thus
The surface soil is gradually enriched
by the deep-rooted plants.
Different plants require many differ
ent kinds of plant food; one may util-
lie large amount of nitrogen as com.
pared with others which may use phos-
phoric acid, potash or lime For in
stance if a crop of mangels or barley
is grown upon field continually with
out rotation with some nitrogen gath
erer it would not be very long before
no crop could be raised because the soil
would be completely drained OF its
nitrogen, while there would be suffi-
Gent lime and potassium exide to grow
good crop of wheat or clover or some
other crop which does not require 50
much nitrogen but utilities a greater
quantity of other elements. Crop resi-
dues should always be placed at the
disposal of weak feed crop. For in
stance, mangles or barley should never
be grown after light soil of clover or
other legumes Wheat or oats should
always be grown in preference to the
barley or mangels, because the former
crops are light feeders and the latter
crops are the heaviest kind Of food TAX
ers. 1t can readily be seen if the re-
verse were the case the mangels would
take up the majority of the free nitro
gen and phosphoric acid and there
would not be much left for the wheat.
But if the first rotation is followed, the
feeding capacity of the soil is equal
lied and there is sufficient quantities OF
the elements so that good crop can be
had every year. With the continual
growing of grass and grain the humus
content of the soil becomes very small
because the humus becomes oxidized
and passes of into the air and in many
