The separator parts should be clean
ed on each occasion Immediately after
use

milking. Cold milk means loss Of but
ter fat.
Reject the first few drops from each
teat when commencing to milk. wheth-
er by hand or machine.
The feed for maintenance may be
the same for n COW that returns 500
pounds OF butter fat per year as for
one that returns 100 pounds.
The percentage Of fat in the cows
milk Is determined by two things-frst,
the breed and. second, the individual
ity. The milk flow may be stimulated
by feed. but the fat content cannot be
affected under normal conditions

"HE formal opening Sept. Z Of the
Madeira Mamore railroad OF
Brazil crowns n Of the great
est engineering feats Of mod
ern times. In fact, 1t is said by many
authorities to be in its way as stu
pendous an undertaking as the Pana-
ma canal. The railroad extends from
the connecting coast lines in Brazil
hundreds Of miles into the jungle and
up the line of the Madeira river around
the falls of Mamore. 1t is from these
two waterways that the railroad re-
ceives its name.
The building Of the road is frequent
" likened to the digging through of
the Panama canal, and in all proba-
bility would never have been complet-
ed but for the lessons in sanitation
which the United States gave Brazil
in clearing up the canal zone. Work
has been done for almost half a CEN
fury in periodical spurts. The spas
modic attempts to drive the railroad
through the jungle were as many as
those made to pierce the isthmus of
Panama. Several big American COM
panies failed In the earlier attempts at
building, their engineers claiming that
for every tie on the road they had bur-
led two workmen.
The new line opens up an extensive
area Of valuable farming country, but
Its chief end from the viewpoint of
Brazilian capitalists is that 1t pene-
trates one of the greatest Wild rubber

Never save beans for seed from

seeds.
Eat the string beans while they
are crisp. Take a dish OF hen
