danced as he hurriedly went into his
bogus confession of how he had
learned the secrets of the Bureau of
Printing and Engraving at Washing

how 1t could turn out cash like so
much printed calico-and then came
the real nubbin of the whole affair.
He told me of his poor old mother,
blind, dying. She was about to be
thrown out of her home for debt of
$4,000. He could make the money, it
is true, but if he went to the bank
with that many fresh bills they would

Then Miss Clement stopped and for
ten minutes as we walked along, she
added nothing to her narrative.
"Well?" l asked finally, whats the

'The rest?" Miss Clement turned to
me and laughed. What rest need

to the room in which he took me, and,
at the crucial moment, walked in. And

pounds of butter fat in the whey If
none is recovered, or, figuring the but
ter fat at % cents a pounds, a loss of
$1.0OO,0O0 worth of butter fat as al
ready stated The amount lost in
each cheese factory could be made in
to 80 tubs of butter of SO pounds each,
as shown in the illustration.
The additional expense of recover
ing this fat at the factories is not so
great as those who have not Investigate
ed the subject may imagine. Arrange
ments can easily be made to utilize
the exhaust steam from a turbine sep
arator to pasteurize the whey, and
thus prevent the spread of tuberculo-
sis from one herd to another. Pas
teurizing and separating the whey will
also greatly improve the quality OF
milk delivered at the factory, because
the cans will not be contaminated
with the whey flavor. Cheesemakers
who have tried pasteurizing and sep
arating the whey report that the pro-
cess is worth the expense on account
of these features alone, even without
considering the butter fat recovered.

What l was trying to say was that

case of love at first sight you ever

a barber while l was supposed to be a
rich woman, didn't worry him in the
least. And then the poetry began to
spring forth. And all the time, under
stand, he was changing the bills

new money. Once or twice, just to
see what would happen, I asked him
what it meant, how he happened al
ways to have new money. He only
smiled at me- Then he would recite a
little strain of mystic verse to me as
sat in the chair, something that
would show he was far better read

KEEPING UP THE
SUM MER MILK FLOW
BY A. c. oosTERHUIs.
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

AS a large percentage of the farm
er's COWS freshen in spring, extreme
care must be taken to keep them ON
full flow of milk all summer, for pro-
duction once checked is never entirely
regained.
A diminution of the milk flow is
especially undesirable early in the lac
tation period, for it either dries up the
COW early or greatly decreases the
total production. Therefore, dairymen
should be careful to supply their cows
with enough feed and comfortable
quarters, and see to 1t that they are
not worried by heat and flies.
On the university farm, silage is
fed the year round with the exception,
of the first month on the pasture. The
pasture is then at it's best and supple
rentary feeds are not so necessary
If no silage is available, soiling crops
often prove a satisfactory substitute.
If possible, have two pastures, one
for night and the other for day graz.
ing. Not only are the pastures helped
hg this alternating but the change re-
lieves the monotony for the cows. The
day pasture should contain plenty OF
shade trees and be free from stagnant
pools.
Unless flies are guarded against, the
cows may be much annoyed by these
pests as the summer progresses. Some
farmers keep their cows in darkened
barns during the afternoon, and
often suspend gunny sacks and blank
cts in the doors, which brush off the
flies as the COWS enter. Keeping the
barns and yards clean also helps some
what.
Altogether, it is easy to see that
the problem of keeping the summer
milk flow is not the simple one OF
driving the COWS into the pasture after
the mornings milking and bringing
them into the barn again at night.

BULL DOG AND
SNAKE HAVE FIGHT

An unusual battle between a bull
dog and rattlesnske occurred on the
farm of Allen Olson of Wyoming in
Iowa county while they were haying
says the Dodgeville Sun Republic.
Some of the boys had just driven a
load of hay into the barn. Several
forkfulls had been thrown off when
the youngest boy discovered the dog
fighting with large RATHER, which
the dog had found in one of the
punches of hay which came off the
load. The boys tried to do away
with the snake without the dog being
bitten, but the dog was too much of
fighter. The snake was finally killed
with club, but not before he had
severely biting the dog
The dog was indisposed for several
lays, but has now completely recov-
sred.
