OWN YOUR CREAM SEPARATOR
Five Reasons Why Each Farmer
Should Possess One,

There are a number of very good
reasons why Il farmer should own and
operate a cream separator. The other
day. while addressing a meeting of H.
linois dairymen. {. f. Lee of the Col
lcge Of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin enumerated the follow.
ing:
First.-Therc is little or no loss of
skimmilk,, which, of course, has a high
feeding value.
Second.-Therc is less danger of in
Producing such contagious diseases as
tuberculosis into the herd if the milk
is skinned at home and only the milk
produced upon the farm is fed.
Third.-Time is saved by not hauling
whole milk to the factory.
Fourth.-Fewer products have to be
cared for upon the farm.
Fifth.-There is q wider market for
cream than for milk.

becomes from the products Of the farm
itself. 1t is no case of robbing your
neichbor's farm Of it's fertility to build
up your own. The longer this Is FOL
lowed the richer and more intelligent
the farmer becomes.
1t will be assumed that you already
have a fair grade Of milk COWS. 1t is
common knowledge that you can take
a fair grade of milk cows and breed
them to a sire a little better than they
are and the female offspring will be
better milk COWS than the mothers.
These young cows can be bred to Il
sire better than themselves. II the
next generation will be still better.
The better the ancestry Of the sire the
better the offspring. If this plan is
carried on up the line the trouble will
be in getting sires better than the
COWS. This. however. is the plan to
work on. for as soon as the sire be-
comes no better than the cow there is
no advancement made. AS soon as he
becomes poorer the value OF II III
crease ii, the herd becomes poorer.
Consequently il hchoovcS us to keep
in stcp and get only suitable sires to
head the dairy herd.
In selecting the sire bc sure that he
has sprun. from high class mixers.
His mother should be Il high class
mixer. and the mother of his father
should also be. The farther back this
can be traced the more likely will his
offspring be the kind of mixer you
would want and expect it to be. Then
too. do not forget the individual him

SOFTEN THE HARNESS..
It Will Wear Just Twice as Long it 1t
Is Given OiIing.

Harness that is pliable and reason.
ably soft is not very likely to rub skin
ned places on the horses sides or
backs. writes 4 correspondent Of Farm
Progress. Stiffened back bands, belly
bands, pole straps and cruppers will
cut away the hair like Il knife when
they touch the horse.
The collars should be given atten-
ton right along. ] won't use anything
but a leather collar. and that is a gen
eral practice. But unless Il leather col
lar is kept clean and fairly soft it will
ruin a shoulder very quickly. Allow
ing dirt and sweat to cake on the in
ner surface of Il leather or even Il cloth
lined collar will bruisc and rub Il
shoulder badly in a very few hours.
Harness ought to be both washed
and oiled at least twice Il year. Be
fore it is oiled it should be washed
with warm water and plenty of soap.
Use any form of mild soft soap or good
laundry soap, scrubbing the harness
with n brush to get all the dirt off.
After washing the harness use meats
foot oil. working it into the harness by
rubbing it carefully. If the harness is
| pretty dry you will be surprised tl
find how much oil it will take to soften
up a set of double harness. Better
have at least three quarts on hand, as
it may take every bit of it to fix up one
set of double harness.
There are many very good harness
blackings on the market, correctly
mixed and easy to apply. If you can
not get hold of any of them Il little
ivory black mixed with the neatsfooi
oil will give a pretty finish to the har
ness.
1t is a real satisfaction to handle har
ness that is soft and pliahle, as har
ness ought to be. Undoubtedly wei
oiled harness is even a greater salts
faction to the horse that wears it.

s The Art of FASCINATING
{ By LOGAN II. ROOT 8

The doctor placed the tips Of his
thumb and fingers on the lady's wrist,
looked wise, sympathetic and respect
full, all in one glance; then. taking out q
blank slip, wrote a prescription.
This is merely a light sedatdve,"
he said. II do not attach much I'M
portance to 1t, for the shock you have
received must wear off gradually. I
would advise diverting your mind 50

congenial and who interest you."
"Thank you, doctor. I dare "a you

to have YOU call as often as your other

There was some desultory chat, after
which the doctor withdrew, promising
to call again in a few days. Mrs. AL
landale told him that she required
soothing more in the evening than in
the daytime and she would be glad
when he could find it convenient to
call between 8 and IL O'Clock p. m. He
promised to do his best in this respect.
A few days later the doctor tele-
phoned Mrs. Allandale that he must
visit a patient in her vicinity that even

K. WORTH1NGTON was the
physician Of the upper ten

physician Of the upper ten
thousand-not a physician Of
the upper ten thousand, but
the physician Of that class. He was
thirty-five years old and considered the
handsomest man Of the city in which
lie lived and practiced his profession.
One night a lamp exploded in the
home of a young widow, setting fire
to the clothes of an old lady, a men,
Der of the family, and burning her so
severely that she lived but twenty-four
hours after the accident. Every doc
tor in the neighborhood was called in,
among them DIR. Worthington. There
was little that could be done for the
| patient, who was known to every
doctor there. but there was a great
deal to be done in calming those pres
ent. AS oon as the physician Of the
upper ten thousand entered practition-
ers earning a begYarly $1,000 to $1O,-

their shells, and when he spoke in his
musical baritone voice a few words
cnjoining quiet a calm fell Upon every
one in the room.
Mrs. Allandale, the young widow in
whose house the accident occurred,
was so impressed with Dr.. Worthing-
tons aristocratic bearing, his self con
troll and that influence he possessed over
his fellow beings, especially women,
that she resolved to win him for her
second husband. Mrs. Allandale had
heard a story about the doctors having
to employ a chaperon at his office and
realized that her game must be played
with great delicacy in order to be sue
! cessful.
About a week after the death and
burial of the person who was burned
DIR. Worthington was called to visit
Mrs. A%llandale. He responded at once
and found the lady reclining in her IL
brary. where logs blazed in a gothic
fireplace. She had on a pale blue silk
~negligee-she was 4 blond-and a lamp
shaded in pink was on a little table
beside her. The blue was especially
becoming. and the pink lamplight on
her complexion added to the pleasing
effect. DR.. Worthington was perfectly
aware from the moment he entered the
room, that the lady's intentions were
: those of women from whom his duenna
was expected to protect him. But, oh.
how different this appeal from the 9th
crs.
The lady did not extend her finger

SlLAGE FOR WETHERS.
II Moidy or From Very Immature Corn
It Shouldn't Be Fed.

Breeders who have fed silage to in
lamb ewes have generally had very
good results. Trouble has come from
feeding silage that was not perfectly
sweet. Moldy or frozen silage or silage
from very immature corn should not
be fed to ewes. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary to see that each eve gets the
amount intended for her. Two to four
pounds per head daily is quite general
ly considered enough for best results.
This is eighty pounds for twenty
sheep. and if fed carclcssly it is mighty
easy for or more ''piggish' ewes
to get six or eight pounds daily, and
disaster may follow. when the silage
will get the blame and not the man.
1t will make good feed for %fattcning
wcthers in connection with other
roughacc and grain rather rich in pro

Under the new leader, President A.
CT. Murray, a campaign is already
under way at the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation for another record year. This
association with Frank H. Gregory as
general secretary has shown rapid ad-
vancement.
Within the past three years i'm
provements have been made to the
building at total cost of $4,000. The
new additions include a swimming
pool, gymnasium. bowling alleys, en-
larged reading rooms and library,
committee rooms and commodious
quarters for the general secretary and
other officials
Through the efforts of the general
secretary the association has not only
been able to pay off large part of
the debt. but with the assistance of a
hustling band of workers the member
| ship has been increased to nearly 600.
During the coming year efforts are to
be made to have the membership
reach 1000.
Since the introduction of the up-to-
date swimming pool and gymnasium
there has been an average attendance
of SO each day. On April rs the first
indoor swimming tournament ever
held in Harrisburg will take place at
the Pennsylvania Railroad Young
Mems Christian Association and will
