ladies. Study It well Note
the two angry women who
stand facing each other, bitter
ness and hatred in their hearts,
cruel words upon their lips, and
then take heed OF the for1orn,
helpless, pathetic figure Of the man
between them.
II is a picture to make the IN
Outstanding weep, and the pity Of
1t is that Is Is one that 50 many,
many men have only to shut their
eyes to see reproduced in their
own homes, for It is the picture
Of the wrangling in-laws that turn
50 many homes that should be
happy into understudies Of purga-
tory.
In this picture the artist has
seized upon the moment in which
the long-drawn-out quarrels be-
tween q mother-tn-law and daugh-
ter-in-law have come to a crisis
and the wife has told her husband
that he must choose between her
and his mother, and that one or
the other of them goes out Of the
door.
How shah a man decide?
He loves his wife devotedly. She
is the one woman in all the world
he picked out to be his companion
through life. He knows that she
loves him. She has been good, and
faithful, and loyal to him. She Is
the mother Of his children, and he
is bound to her by all the ties that
can unite a man to a woman. He
rs a domestic man, fond OF his
home, finding his greatest interest
in IT. A thousand voices bid him
choose his wife II he must decide
between the two women.

ing a Location For the
Separator.

All normal cows milk contains fat,
existing in the form of very small
globules which rise to the surface on
standing because they are so much
lighter than the rest Of the milk. This
surface layer We call cream and II con.
tains most OF these fat globules. Until
recently the only method for separat-
Ing this cream was by means OF set
ting" the milk, or allowing II TO stand
for a length Of time sufficient for all
the cream TO rise TO the surface. This
method. often called gravity method,
Is still quite widely used on account Of
the cheapness OF the apparatus fequlr.
ed. A few shallow pans or jars or a
special dreamer" Is all that Is needed.
The gravity methods, still quite com.
monty used in some sections, include
three. namely: shallow pan Dreaming,
deep setting and the dilution method.
With all OF these methods. the milk
must be allowed to stand from "a to
70 hours before the cream can be re.
moved from the surface and for this
reason are not practical or convenient
where large amount OF milk must be
separated. There are other objections,
the most serious OF which is the fact
that too much fat is lost in the skim
milk. No method will remove all the
fat but the mechanical cream separa.
tors Of which large numbers are now
in use will remove 1t most completely.
The principle OF all mechanical cream
separators is about the same-the milk
flows through a rapidly revolving bowl
and the mechanical force throws the
skim milk. which is heavier than the
cream, to the outside OF the bowl and
the cream remains near the center. In
this way they can be removed in sep.
arate streams.

There is very little difference in the

recommended for use, remembering,
however. that it takes practically two

ment. Burnt lime crushed and
screened may be applied with drill.
A good lime spreader does the work
rapidly and well. Lime should not be
plowed under. but should be thorough.
ly and promptly mixed with the soil,
preferably with a harrow.
1t has been said that any convent.
ent time IS a good time TO apply lime.
In the case of old sour solids def.

qucstionably when green crop Is

The average sour soil examined at
this station would require Tin round

three tons Of hydrated lime or four
tons OF air-Blacked lime or ground
limestone to correct acldlty in one

ably four or fve applications have
been given.
The worst diseases, such as Miidew
or Blight, Leaf Spot, Anthracnose. and
the common form OF Fruit Rot can be
very effectively controlled by any one
who will follow the treatment outlined
above with reasonable care.
Brief descriptions OF some OF these
diseases may enable interested grow
ers TO recognize them without much
trouble.
Anthracnose.
The Anthracnose Is most noticeable
on fruit. These fruit spots are dark
or black In the center with light Dor
der and are somewhat depressed
Sometimes a fruit may be almost u
mass Of spots. II does not cause rot,
but renders the tomatoes unfit fol

causes spotting OF the leaves and
stalks,
Blight or MiIdew.
This disease attacks the leaves and
fruit especially. II causes rotting OF
the fruit which often starts ut the
stem end. 1t kills the leaves, working
with extreme rapidly during moist
weather 1t may completely destroy
all the plants in a field within week
or two after having been first noticed.
When a leaf which Is partly alive and
partly dead is examined in the morn.
Ing or after cloudy day when there
has been some rain, there win be noted
slight white growth on the under
surface Of the leaf just in the edge OF
the living part Of ii. This Is the fun.
gus which causes the disease. The
leaves which are attacked have an ap.
pearance as though they had been
scalded with hot water, then they dry
up and die.
.... Leaf Spot.
The leaf spot Is first noted Hpon the
lower leaves OF the plant, and gradu.
ally spreads TO those higher up. The
spots are frequently so numerous as 10
almost completely cover the leaf. Bad.
iy affected leaves dry up and fall of,
so that In severe cases of the disease
there Will be 10 leaves left on the
plant except near the growing end oil
the stalk.
All the above diseases are favored
in their development by moist warm
weather Care should be taken not &c
work among the plants when they are
wet. as this practice will frequently
carry the spores OF the fungus from
one plant TO another.
When there is doubt in regard to the
Identity of any disease. a specimen
