Washing the Cream Separator.

One of the most important ques-
lions to settle, when buying a sepa-
rator, is that of it's cleanliness. The
ease, quickness and thoroughness
with which a separator bowl and
skimming parts can be cleaned will be
found to be a large factor in the
economy and satisfaction of it's SER
vice. 1t is, indeed, so great factor
that every separator maker claims for
his particular machine the best and
most convenient washing feature.
The actual number of the parts to
be washed does not pay so important
role in the washing as one might
think. The chief tEing is, perhaps,
the material of which they are made,
and next to this is the construction.
There are some metals to which milk,
cream and fat PARTICLES seem to have
a special attraction, and they stick
everlastingly to such surfaces. Some
skimming devices are so constructed
that it is we'll nigh impossible to get
strong, securing flow of water
through them, fact that obviously
makes them hard to clean.
One of the best materials for bowl
construction known is nickle silver,
the material used in skimming sec

THE NEW CABINET.

President Wilson was a little slow
in announcing his cabinet and it was
not officially known until after the
appointments we're sent to the senate.
The following is the personnel OF
the new cabinet, the most of whom
are not generally known:
Secretary of state-William Jennings
Bryan, Nebraska.
Secretary of war-Lindley M. CARR
son, New Jersey.
Secretary of the treasury William
G. McAdoo, New York.
Attorney general-James M. Nc
Reynolds, Tennessee.
Postmaster general-Albert Burle-
son, Texas.
Secretary of the navy-Josephus
Daniels, North Carolina.
Secretary of the interior-Franklin
K. Lane, California.
Secretary of Agriculture-Dav M.
Houston, Missouri.
Secretary of Commerce-William c..
Redfield, New York.
Secretary of Labor-William B.
Wilson, Pennsylvania.

attraction for cream and dirt particles
in milk. 1t is easy washed and is
non-rusting. In fact, it will last for
years without losing its polish.
To render the cleaning of United
States separator Swimming sections
even more easy and thorough, how
ever, the Vermont Farm Machine
Company has invented and is now
marketing it's Patent Mechanical
Washer. This device, which is shown
in the illustration herewith. is es-
pecially desiged for quickly cleaning
the u. S. separator parts. 1t is so
arranged that the washing water is
driven hard through the sections,
actually scrubbing them clean of all
impurities, and doing the work in
short time-less, in fact, than is re-
quired by any other type of separator
bowl.
The addition OF this Mechanical
Washer to the already efficient equip
ment of the United States separator
adds the final touch of perfection to
this popular machine. By it's use all
of the drudgery and time wasted in
cleaning has been eliminated, and the
task is accomplished quickly and
thoroughly, without any messing or
firing.
Every man who owns a United
States cream separator should in
vestigate this new device. 1t will
tighten labor and shorten work.
Those who are contemplating the
purchase of a cream separator would
also do we'll to look into this subject
of cleaning the bowl-it is important.
In fact, every dairyman should send
to the Vermont Farm Machine Com
pany, at Bellows Falls, Vermont for
their folder describing this Mechan-
ical Washer, as we'll as their catalog
and description of their 1913 model.
These publications will give some
valuable information on separating,
and are worth reading. They are

DEATH OF DR.. DE LAVAL.

Carl Gustaf Patrik De Laval, known
throughout the world as the inventor
of the cream separator, died on Feb
ruary 3rd, in Stockholm, Sweden, his
native city, at the age of Ct years.
DIR. De Laval was best known to
fame for his invention of centrifugal
cream separators and as the founder
of the cream separator concern which
bears his name.
His activities, however, we're by no
means confined to the development of
the cream separator. He was one OF
the most prolific and versatile of the
world IS great inventors and in addi-
ton to his invention of the first con-
tinuous cream separator he achieved
notable success in various other fields
of scientific endeavor and practical
usefulness.
Shortly after his invention for
separating cream from milk by means
of centrifugal machine in 1878 he

PLANT CROPS FOR THE SIL0.

Planting time has arrived and
dairymen should see to it that soillng
crops take a prominent place in their
spring seeding. 1t has become a
truism that nothing returns so good
profit to the dairymen as these crops
when properly grown and properly
cared for.
The ideal soiling crop is a corn
crop, and the ideal way to take care
of it is to place it in silo. Farmers
everywhere are realizing the value OF
the silo and more sllos will be built
in Washington this year than ever be-
fore. The demonstration stations of
Western Washington have satisfied all
investigators that corn can be grown
here which will make as fine silage as
can be grown anywhere. In a late
issue of The Ranch we published a
statement from w. j. Langdon, of
Sumner, one of the most successful
and careful dairymen OF the state,
who stated that he had had great sue
cess with the Early Minnesota sweet
corn. The amount grown was sur
prising. On eleven acres of ground
he harvested 123 loads, OF seventeen
tons to the acre. This is an astonish-
ingly amount of feed to be grown on
IL acres of ground. If Mr.. Langdon
can do this, any other man who takes
an equal amount of care can do like
wise. 1t is cheaper than to buy feed
and lot better for the COWS.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-03-15

invented the steam turbine which
bears his name. Among other of his
notable inventions we're the milk
tester, centrifugal churn, an
emulser, a mechanical COW mixer, a
new form of lamp, a frictionless
vessel, an explosion-proof steam
boiler and a process for extracting
metals from ore by electrically de-
veloped magnetism, in fact he was
tireless in his activity in working
out unsolved mechanical problems of
every kind, and until the very last he
continued actively at work in his ex-
Fermentation of old and new pro-
jects, his brain as fertile and his
energy as unremitting as ever.
Many honors we're bestowed upon
DR.. De Laval. From the King of
Sweden he received the Cross of Com
mander of the Order of Wasa and that
of Knight of the Order of the North
Star. He was made a member of the
Academy of Sciences in 1886 and he
received the Academy's gold medal
in 1892. In 1896 he was made an
honorary member of the Agricultural
Academy in Sweden and in 1904 the
Engineers Society of Germany un-
animously awarded him a medal for
his pioneer development of the steam
turbine.
Few men have conferred more last
ing benefits upon mankind than DR..
De Laval. The cream separator and
the milk tester, both conceived by
him, though further developed by
others, have alone saved billions of
dollars to the worlds dairy interests
and largely made possible the wide
use of dairy products as we know
them today.
DR.. De Laval we'll deserved the
comparison so often made of him
with our own great Edison. AS the
inventions of Edison have made pos
sible the tremendous advance in the
development of electricity and it's
practical application. so dairy ma
chimes invented by DR.. De Laval have
made possible the equally wonderful
progress in the last 25 years in the
field of dairying, and DR.. De Laval
has rightly been called 'the Edison
of dairiyng.

GEORGIA SUPPORTERS BASE HOPES ON
PROWESS OF CAPTAIN BOB N'WHORTER

Athens, Ga, October 17.-(Special.)
When the red and black eleven of Geor-
gia boarded the train for Birmingham
this afternoon, 1t was the consensus of
opinion among students here that the
chances of Cunningham's stalwarts to de-
feat Alabama rested largely upon the
muscular shoulders of Capt. Bob Nc
Whorter 1t was no cry of wolf when
reports We're sent out from the Georgia
stronghold that the team was consider
ably crippled. The men are really hurt,
and the fact that Coach Cunningham is
loath to take any chances on adding to
their injuries by risking an encounter
with the Alabama foemen because of the
closeness of the game with Virginia,
seems to indicate that several subs will
be found in the lineup when the pigskin
is booted in the first kickoff of the game
Saturday.
AIabama's strong showing against
Clemson has been given due considera-
tion by Georgia coaches. They figure the
Crimson team an opponent well worthy
of consideration, and victory at any
event will be welcome news to Georgia
supporters.
Realizing these handicaps, supporters
of the red and black are basing their
hopes on the prowess of Bob McWhortcr.
For three seasons McWhorter's work has
been a sensation in the south, and many
agree that the Georgia halfback is one
