THE SEPARATOR

Successful DairNm1u.

In carly days farmers set mill, on hitch-
On or pantry shelves to raise cream. At
ter standing T. to q hours the cream was
skinned with tin swimmers ana set ava,
in a cool place usually the cellar. Less
than one-half to three-fourths Of the cream
was thus secured. When enough had nc
cumuatcd a churning was made. Later
milk was put in deep setting cans kept
IN we'll or spring water, and after .
hours the cream was skinned, or, in II"
, more improved cans, the skmmlk was
drawn from the bottom, leaving the
cream in the can. Here again onc-third
Of the cream was left in skmmlll to be
! fed TO pigs. Thirty years ago the first
| cream separator was made I'm this Coun-
try The principal of the separator IS
| based ON specific gravity Of liquids. As
| the separator bowl rcVolvcs a about 5000
: revolutions per minute the heavier por-
zion OF milk, skimmilk is thrown outside
| by centrifugal force and discharged,
while the lighter portion, cream, Is
| thrown to the center Of the bowl and dis
charged through separate tubes. The adj
vent OF scparators was a great boost for
the dairy business, as it separated prac-
tically all cream from milk, preventing
waste and making It possible to feed
sweet skmmilk to stock.
! Types OF sepdTdtOrs on the market to-
day are legion. Ii Is estimated the sales
OF separators In the United States
amount to 1850 per year These range
in capacity from 200 pounds Of milk PEI
hour in the small hand separators to 42p
pounds in the big power machines anC
cost from 500 TO 5000, and it MAJ be in
tercStng to note that the best mc'han
ical skill, workmanship and material OBJ
talnable are used in their manufacture.
BY turning slightly the CREAM screw
in a separator the cream can be mad'
thick or thin or rich or poor in butte
, fat, as desired depending ON tn" amour
of skimmilk Incorporated with 1t. 70
example, common table cream Of 20 pc
cent. fat or a very rich thck cream con

Some study has been given to the Wom-
en- farmers of Kansas with a view to
discovering why they have been So uni
formily successful. The first great rea-
son is said to lie In the fact that gS per
cent. Of these Kansas women who are
managing their farms and making Sue
cesses of the enterprises are scientific
farmers. They do no profess TO know all
that there is 10 be learned about farm

OF them have had little experience In
the management of the farm. though
they have been farmers daughters aud

Take Plenty of Time to Eat

There is saying that rapid eat
ing is slow suicide" If you have
formed the habit of eating too
rapidly you are most likely suffering
from indigestion or constipation,
which will result eventually in seri-
Gus illness unless corrected. Diges-
ton begins in the mouth. Food
should be thoroughly masticated and
insalivated. Then when you have
a fullness of the stomach or feel dull
and stupid after eating, take one of
Chamberlain's Tablets. Many severe
cases of stomach trouble and con-
stipation have been cured by the
use of these tablets. They are easy
to take and most agreeable in effect.

COPIED for The GuARpIAS9

| NSopleu Ahb
Inscribed to my youngest living broth
er, Henry c. Stephen. !
Self-same sounds of monotone;
Wheedling like the buzz of drone;
Whilst the workers busy hum,
Is all silent round the gum,
Where no sweets are being stored,
| To replete the common hoard,
And the buzzing has not the life
| Of the worlds great rushing strife.
Butts like the sound of muffled drum;
While treading to its music glum,
| Goes the swain on his daily rounds,
Listening to the same old sounds,
| Content in his tread mill gait;
Needless of the happy fate
Which contents him with his lot
| Meath the dull, secluded spot;
| Which to him has no bright charms,
OF the city's rushing haste,
Where no moments go to waste.
| But the noise and clangor ring
Round the wheels, which humming sing,
Midst the clatter and the din,
, AS their daily tasks they spin.
Oh, could now be thus content,
Like the gypsy with his tent
Roaming over the face of the earth.
Let each camping be my hearth,
With no thought for the morrow,
Nor any care or trouble borrow;
But lay me down sweetly to rest,
AS the birding in its nest.
Under natures arch in view;
Meath its deep, cerulean hue,
With myriad stars to shed their light,
In my dreams throughout the night;
Midst the drowsy realms of sleep,
Where no sorrows would Ger me creep,
Lulled by the herds low twinkle
With no care to leave its wrinkle
On the brow in furrows wide.
Like the washings of the tide,
With its restless craving maws;
AS of pain when hunger gnaws;
Thus my soul ne'er satisfied,
Languishes from all it has tried,
Seeking pleasures ever anew,
Other than which comes to view.
Wand ring around each pleasing scene;
Der the hills with verdure green;
Under each Ger shadowed nook,
Besides sweet waters bubbling clear,
Ger which thrushing singing near,
Marble notes fluent and sweet;
Naught is seen that's not complete.
But with all there fingers still
Throughout woods, by murmuring rill,
Where all seems so peaceful and calm
Like the oasis with its palm;
Loneliness which hovers around
In its confines with no bound,
ELa Gobova' % ta
Parching to the fevered taste.

DON'T BUTT IN

By Fred A. Campbell in Call of tn
Moose, and respectfully dedicated b
the editor of The GUARDIAN to all char
acter assassins.
If you have sporty neighbor,
Who is always raising Ned,
Comes horne early mornings,
/, Making noise to wake the dead,
Whose skin is always loaded
With lager beer and wine,
You needn't talk about it,
1t amt costing you dime.
If you know little fairy,
That's as nice as she can be,
Who likes to have a Jolly time,
And quiet drink of tea,
Who delights to ride in autos,
Always ready for spin,
You needn't talk about it,
You've no license to butt in.
am trying to convince you,
This is what | would convey,
No matter what you see or hear,
AS you pass along life's way,
Twill do no good to gossip,
, You may as well keep still,
So you needn't talk about it,
For there's plenty others will.
Remember when you're talking,
About naughty things you've seen,
That the ones who do the talking
Should themselves be very clean;
So before you start the story,
Look with care it's not a knock,
Folks who live in homes of glass
Should never throw rock.
There's not many saints among us,
There's few who never sin,
If we dig hole for others,
| We ourselves might tumble in,
You know there may be someone,
With a most inquiring mind;
Who might start investigating;
There's no telling what he'd find.
So once more I'd like to mention,
In my most engaging style,
Whate 'er you see that's naughty,
Just pass it with smile;
If you forget you saw it,
Twill save much pain and woe,
You needn't talk about it,
Just let the darn thing go.
