N THE days when Harlem was so
far west that little boys used to
long d%esirously to go out there and
kill buffaloes, Indians and other
unprotected game, Matthew Dor
sey- and Wolf Tone Cassidy shook the
peat from their feet and emigrated to
America in the bowels of a ship that,
like all vessels Of the aching past,
went four feet up and down and six
sideways to every n ahead.
On landing at Castle Garden, they
remained in the city long enough to
purchase a gold brick apiece and get
held up and robbed; then their bucollc
desires ~ameliorated with metropolitan
disgust and they trekked to the afore-
said west and constructed for them
selves two little shacks, perched high
on the edge Of Somebody or Others
cliff. And there they lived and pros
pered, though not to any alarming de-
gree; for they never achieved more
than one pair of shoes at a time, al
though, on the other hand, they never
went beyond three broken window
panes simultaneously.
And so passed nigh unto half a
century; and it was Thanksgiving
time.
Mr.. Dorsey, having finished the
breakfast dishes and lighted his du-
deem, went out to his front door to see
what Mr.. Cassidy was about; and Mr..
Cassidy, having done precisely the
same thing, did precisely the same
thing.
Good morning, Matchew!" he
called across the little gardens.

SEPARATOR is GREAT ASSET
Advent Of Machine Was Big Boost for
Dairy 5uslness-cause Of Much
inferior Butter.

By c. B. LANE, Dairyman. Copyright
1s14)
In early days farmers set milk on
kitchen or pantry shelves to raise
cream. After standing twelve to
twenty-four hours the cream was
skinned with tin skimmers and set
away in a cool place, usually the eel
lar. Less than one-half to three
fourths Of the cream was thus Sc
cured. When enough had accumulat-
ed churning was made. Later milk
was put in deep setting" cans kept
in well or spring water, and after II
hours the cream was skinned, or, In
the more improved cans, the skim
milk was drawn from the bottom,
leaving the cream in the can. Here
again one-third of the cream was left
in skim milk to be fed to pigs. Thirty
years ago the first cream separator
was made in this country. The prin.
cipal of the separator Is based on
specific gravity Of liquids. As the
separator bowl revolves at about six
thousand revolutions per minute the
heavier portion of milk, skim milk, is
thrown outside by centrifugal force
and discharged, while the lighter por
ton, cream, is thrown to the center
of the bowl and discharged through
separate tubes. The advent of sep
arators was a great boost for the
dairy business, as it separated prac-
tically all cream from milk, prevent
ing waste and making it possible to
feed sweet skim milk to stock
Types Of separators on the market
today are legion. It is estimated the
sales of separators in the United
States amounts to 175,OOO per year.
These range in capacity from two hun
dred pounds of milk per hour in the
small hand separators to four thou
sand two hundred pounds in the big
power machines and cost from one
to six hundred dollars.
By turning slightly the cream
screw" in a separator the cream can
be made thick or thin or rich or poor
in butter fat, as desired, depending
on the amount of skim milk incor-
porated with it. For example, com
mon table cream of 20 per cent fat
or very rich thick cream contains
from fifty to sixty per cent butter fat
One would think "a cleaner and bet
ter favored cream would be produced
by the introduction of the separator;
but, as matter of fact, the flavor and
sanitary qualities of separator cream
produced on the average farm are not
as good as before, and the quality of
butter made in creameries from this
separator cream is inferior, largely be-
cause the separators are not kept
clean.

Butterfly Decoration.

Many artists have employed the but
terfly in decoration, but neither brush
nor crayon is as effective as nature
itself. No imitation, however good
can do justice to the gorgeous colors
of the tropical butterfly. One might
as well try to reproduce rainbow in
oils. A most effective novelty-a but
terfy tray-was shown me yesterday
by a charming North side hostess. 1t
was made on the same principle as
the tapestry tray. A glittering butter
fly, the spread of whose wings must
have been all Of ten inches, was
mounted on a stalk Of milkweed. The
pressed butterfly was then covered
with glass and hemetically sealed in.
To say that the tray was stunning is
to speak very feebly of its attractive
ness. With this objet dart as a cen
terpiece a clever hostess could easily
arrange a butterfly luncheon. Chi
