How to Skim Milk.
To skim loosen the cream from the
sides of the pan with thin biaded
knife. Lift the pan to the edge Of the
cream can. tilt it to allow a little OF
the skimmilk to wet the edge of the
| pan, then with the aid of the knife
| quickly glide the sheet of cream into

fashioned perforated skinner.
This system has many disadvantages

milk liable to become too acid for DO
mestic and feeding purposes: the cream
clotted and overripe; the creaming in

Deep Cans.-A water tight box CT
barrel for holding the deep cans will
do as effective work as an expensive
cabinet creamer. but there should be

the financial means of nearly every
community in the country.
The opinion is quite general through
out the country that it is useless to
try to do anything to improve our
earth roads. This is a mistaken idea.
| In fact, q good earth road is the step
| ping stone to macadam road. The
| earth road is the foundation for al
future improvements. With proper
plans for the future the earth road
eau be constructed at once. a com
paratively small annual outlay for
maintenance will then serve to keep
it in shape until funds are available
for further improvement with hard
surface.
One Of the most frequent faults with
our present earth roads is that they
are located where they should not he:
Grades are too often unnecessarily
steep, drainage is poor or entirely lack
ing and streams are seldom crossed at
the most favorable bridge site.
To relocate these roads entirely or
even to large extent is out OF the
question. The general location or the
present roads must be maintained be-
cause of the farm improvements which
have been made along them. But Won
derful improvements can be made 5y
modifying the location Of short sec
tions here and there Instead of going
over a steep hill it is often feasible to
go around it on a much easier grade
without materially increasing the dis
tance.
The elimination Of one or two steep
hills on line of road will frequently
enable horses to draw three 0" four
times as much to market as they could
/: draw on the old road. 1t takes an'
! proximately four times as much power
/! TO draw loads on 10 per cent grades as
on a level.
The earth road should have at leas'
+! six hours Of sunshine each day. Brusf
! and trees which impede the drying ac
tion of the sun should he removed. IN:
southern and western exposures snouie
be as complete as possible. With grave
md macadam roads this is not SO nee
essary, as a certain amount OF mos
N ture is needed to keep downrthc dust.
IS But comparatively few Of our eartl
k roads have been dignifed by any i'm
proyement which could be termed con
!, struction. To expect good earth roa'
where none has ever been built Is lk
expecting harvest from ground Whic'
has never been TILED. An earth roa
must be built, just as a macadam 0
gravel road must be built. and sll
and experience are required IN oroef

The first and last requisite IN roa
Il construction is drainage. This,
course. must be modified to suit th
conditions Of soil and climate. Wher

must be taken to get rid of the waite

Deep Setting System.
Milk should always set twenty four
hours before the skimmilk is drawn.
and thrty-siX hours in winter Is bet
ter. Milk allowed to stand only twelve
hours before skimming will yield
larger volume Of cream. but it will test
low (from Is to 20 per cent?. while the
skimmilk may test as high as from
6 to | per cent and over. especially
If the water has not been cold. In

we have in the case of the longer set
ting richer cream and less loss Of
fat in the skimmilk, two desirable re-
suits in creaming milk.
Butter made from cream from the
deep setting system is usually OF good
quality. rs the cream is always at
low temperature. which is unfavorabie
for the development Of bad flavors
The disadvantages are the heavy
lifting of the cans. the storing and
handling of Ice and the heating o.
the skimmilk for the young stock.
The only time water may be advan
tageously added to milk is when the
cows have been long time in mill
and the milk is viscous and rich II

required at the time is usually small
but it Is imperative that 1t be done
promptly or not only will the amount
be large, but the roads will be bad Tor

structed and rightly maintained, can

When the traffic Is very heavy the
earth road must give way to a hard

fact that bankers alive to the pretensions of get
rich-quick scheers and that most of them treated

that most of the elnbezzled money goes. And for
this reason: Most defacations pile up like in

a cashier takes out little money and puts it into
stocks that look al right but wrong He loses
what he has stolen, and keeps stealing and more
to make good and cover his tracks. When his small

that he cannot jugge the accounts much longer, he
takes out large and in sheer desperation puts
it into a scheme that makes promises of enormous
profits. 1t is the act of the oft quo ed drowning man
clutching at straw, and he knows it. He knows
that there is not than chance in fifty that he
will make the turn; but he takes that chance When
the crash comes the big, ugly end of the pyramid is
proded into plain view, and he has ruin and dishonor
for his share.

The Truth and Freedom" is a
monthly publication issued by Elder
Halliday Trice, Of this city, It's first NUM-
Der being distributed last Monday. The
paper is for free circulation and is in
tended to reach those especially who do
not attend church. The editoS lays
stress upon the mistakes OF denomina-
tionalism and quotes scripture in sup
port Of his grounds. He rather points
out The objections to too much depend
ence in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and calls at
tention to the scripture, which declares
that the Truth will make you free. "
Otherwise Truth and Freedom serves
as q message Of scriptural advice and

ray yield good fruit from his work.
