HOW A CREAM SEPARATOR
SPEED INDICATOR SAVES MONEY

There! If you'v We been turning
your separator at that speed all the
time, then with your twenty COWS
you've lost 1924. 10 worth of butter
in one year!"
The above is the astounding state
ment made by dairying authority
to a farmer whom he had been
watching operating his cream sepa-
arator.
When you buy a cream separator
you will find on the crank handle,
in large, raised letters, instructions
something like this" 55.revolutions
per minute Or it may read 45
or so or 60; it varies on the different
makes of separators. Suppose, for
example, yours reads "55 revolu-
tions per minute" What does that
mean? 1t means, whenever you
operate that cream separator, you
should turn the crank handle pre-
cisely 50 turns to the minute. The
manufacturer has tested his sepa-
rator under every possible condition
in order to know the exact method
of operation at which it gives the
greatest degree of efficiency.
But how does the dairyman kno1v
how many times he turns it? 1t is
just as impossible to guess accurately
the speed of his cream separator as
it is to guess accurately at other
things.
At a first-class dairy farm the
superintendent said that he always

WHITE INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS
(COurtesy Mrs. I. A. BOyntOnJ
CARE OF RUNNER DUCKLINGs

| CARE OF RUNNER DUCKLINGs
After the little Indian Runner
ducklings have been removed from
the incubator or to the brooder, care
should be exercised that the bed
ding does not become dampened.
Unless they are watered outside the
pen, they will soon make the straw
wet and cause disaster among the
flock. By taking 12-inch square
board with a rim tackled around it,
like box lid and filled with small
stones and sand, setting the drink
ing fountain in the midst, the water
spilled by the youngsters will be alb
sorbed and they will not get wet.
1t seems to be so natural for them
to throw the water about that it
keeps one busy renewing the straw
unless a provision of some kind is
made. This device I have found
practical while they are very young.
1t is absolutely necessary to keep
ducklings dry until they are fea-
thered.
Another important fact is the use
of clean sand. I would rather omit
feeding a flock than to omit the
sand. The matured ducks, if fed a
mash without grit, will run to the
sand tray and eat great mouthfuls
of it, showing it is necessary. It
helps grind the feed and will pre-
vent trouble with the digestive Or
gans if kept within reach at all
times. If sand is not convenient,
fine commercial grit has proven
quite satisfactory. The ducklings
seem to live to eat'' and conse-
quently need help in the digestion
of their food. When they have a
large, green yard to run in you will
find them boring deep into the earth
with their bills for bugs and sand
to help them thrive. These two
points will help the beginner in
some of the little details of duck
farming"
There are no lice or mites to COM
bat, seldom do they become sick
and each year they improve, if this
be possible, in their egg yield. To
anyone willing to work there is pro-
fit in the Indian Runner duck. 1t
doesn't take lot of money to start
but it takes time, system and sense
to get results and a person fond of
| fowls can soon ease his burdens fin
ancially with Indian Runners.
INCUBATION
When sending for eggs from any
distance place them where the tenn
perature is about so degrees and let
them rest "a hours before placing
them in an incubator or under hens.
| I prefer the latter, especially if you
have choice eggs. Build the nest
on or near the ground. put two or
three shovels of dirt in the bottom
of the nest then put straw on the
dirt. The nest should be made
slightly conceived and before put
ting the hen on the eggs she should
be thoroughly busted with some lice
killing powder. Sprinkle the eggs
three or four times after the 18th
day and sprinkle once after the eggs
begin to pip. After the ducklings
are thoroughly dry move them and

the hen to the brood coop and let
snern have little tepid water to
drink, while the hen is eating, then
let them he lowered for SO hours
when they will have their first feed
Their feeding for the first five
days consists of dry bread moistened
with milk and for the first two days
feed every two hours; next three
days feed every three hours and on
the fifth day add little of the fol-
lowing mash: Three measures of
wheat bran, one measure each of
corn meal and middlings and about
five per cent beef scrap. From then
until four weeks old feed four times
a day; from four to eight weeks
feed three measures wheat bran,
one measure each of corn meal and
middlings and one-quarter measure
OF beef scraps feed three times
day. At eight weeks old Gull brakes
should be penned by themselves and
fattened for market. The fattening
ration is two measures of wheat
bran, four measures corn meal, one
measure middlings and 10 per cent
beef scrap. Always keep grit and
oyster shell before ducks. A good
laying ration is four measures wheat
bran, two measures corn meal, two
measures middlings, one measure
each OF oil meal and beef scrap, and
one.quarter measure of alfalfa.
Ducks, if properly cared for, should
commence laying at Al to 81 months
old, and lay 10 months in the year.

had broken new men in, they could
also operate it at approximately cor
rect speed. In order to prove his
statement, one of the helpers was
asked to turn the separator at the
speed he usually operated it. The
number on the crank handle read
AS revolutions per minute. " But
the helper made only 28 turns to
the minute.
This proved how absolutely wrong
the superintendent was in supposing
that he, or any of his helpers, could
could tell when they were turning
the crank handle exactly right or
anysOherI near what the manufac-
turer told them it should be turned.
Here were pounds of butterfat going
to the hogs daily, just because he
guessed. - And if he will feed
calves and hogs with butterfat worth
30 cents a pound, when he can feed
them better on two and one-half
pounds of corn meal and skim milk,
then that shows how much the dairy
men have to learn, to get all the
profits out of dairying and farming.
At the Purdue Experiment Sta
ton, Indiana, very exhaustive tests
were carried on to show the ire
mendous losses through wrong op-
Grafton of cream separators. A sep
arator was run at its normal speed
of SIS turns to the crank handle per
minute. Fifty pounds of milk were
run through the separator. At this
speed it delivered As pounds of skim
milk and five pounds of cream.
This cream tested 2.11 pounds of
butterfat. When the speed was in
creased to Is turns per minute the
skim milk discharged was 463
pounds, reducing the cream to 81
pounds. And the amount of butter
fat was slightly less than when the
separator was turned at normal
speed.
Next test was made by letting
the speed of the machine drop down
to that which it has been found the
average dairyman operates cream
separator, with the astonishing re-
suit that the discharge from the
cream spout went up to 81
pounds, but it tested only II per
cent of butterfat-only 1 .O4 pounds
of fat out OF so pounds of milk, as
against I'll pounds when the sepa-
rator was operated correctly. Dairy
men are losing from 20 to so per
cent of butterfat with every opera
ton. This is a matter of waste
that is simply appalling when the
aggregate figures of all the dairymen
in this country are considered. It
probably runs into thousands of
dollars with each daily milking.
Now speed indicator has been
invented to be applied to cream sep
arators, mounted on the crank shaft
of the separator. As the separator
handle is turned, the exact number
of revolutions per minute that the
crank handle is making is shown in
a definite figure, 80 that it may be
read at glance. There is no CAL
culating to be done; it is only nee
essary to keep on turning the crank
handle until the proper speed is
reached, and then continue at that
exact speed throughout the separa-
ton. This eliminates all guess work
entirely. 1t also adds zest to the
otherwise monotonous operation,
particularly where the separation
requires upward of an hours turn
ing, as it does in many instances

tion-signed by 100 Sup
porters of KareI.

Milwaukee.-A gathering of the
state Democrats will be held in Mil
waukee july IA, at 1 O'Clock in the

Karel for governor and possibly
Thomas Kearney, Racine, for senator
will be endorsed.
The formal call for conference
and convention of the Democratic
kparty of Wisconsin in Milwaukee,
on Tuesday July IA at 1 D. M, reads,
in part:
We respectively invite the Demo-
cratic electors of each county of the
state to send to this gathering at
least one representative for each ESQ
votes cast at the general election for
Woodrow Wilson for president of the
United States; and we recommend
that mass meetings of the voters of
each county he held at the respective
county seats on the 18th day of July,
1914, at o'clock in the afternoon,
for the purpose of naming such dele
gates. In counties where no caucus
or mass meeting is held, Democratic
voters attending the conference will
represent their respective localities.
This gathering is called for the
purpose of promoting harmony of
action on the part of the Democratic
voters of Wisconsin, of declaring
party principles, of giving assurances
of united support to a Democratic
president and congress, and for the
purpose of recommending to the vot-
ers of the state for their considera-
ton on primary election day the
names of suitable candidates for the
various offices to be voted for at the
primaries to be held in September
next.

jury Monday.
There are 20 indictments. They
charge conspiracy in connection with
floating the notes of the Hampden
railways, Endorsed by the Hampden
Investment company, which, it is
charged, was not a substantial surety.
The transaction involved was the
f1otation of securities on the Hamp-
ton Railroad corporation Endorsed by
the Hampden Investment company,
which, it is charged, was mot sub
stantial security or indorser of the
notes of the Hampden Railroad cor
poration."

sisting of Gustavus Cooper, James
Ferguson, D. C. Proudfoot, Charles W.
Daley and Fred B. Wheeler, are In
dicted on three counts, charging con-
spiracy to lend the money OF the bank
to the Hampden Railroad corporation

Investment company, The amounts
involved total $4,000.
The investment committee of the
Cambridge Savings bank, consisting
of Edward R. Coggswell, Enoch Dean,
James P. Pennell, Harry E. Mason
and Leslie NJ Brock, faces four counts
involving $92,750. The charge is the
same.
Moseley was indicted on six counts
involving $122,750 The charge is
the LARCENY of this amount from the
banks.
Mellen was indicted as an access
sorry before the fact on five of these
six counts charging Moseley with lar
ceny. Mellen, Moseley and Gillette are
indicted Jointly on ten counts charg-
ing that they "conspired to steal and
did steal" the amounts involved in
the transaction with the two banks
The members of the Moseley firm,
including S. H. Fessenden, Neal Ran
tout, s. v. R. Crosby, BENJAMIN p.
Moseley and William S. Clough, are
indicted on eight counts for alleged
conspiracy to steal.
Mellen, Moseley and Gillette are in
dicted on ten counts charging con-
spiracy with the investment commit
fees to arrange the loans
The 'inwardness" of the alleged
transaction has to do with Charles s..
Mellen's fotation of Hampden rail-
road securities when he was head of
the New Haven railroad and when it
was prepared to build the Hampden
road.

PRESIDENT DECLINES TO
FAVOR VOTES FOR WOMEN
Tells Representatives Of 100000 suf-
fragettes He viii Not Indorse
Suffrage Now.

Washington, July president Will
dorse the movement for woman's suf-
frage through an amendment to the
federal constitution.
President Wilson refused to heed
the pleadings of 1000 women who
called on him fer support lin the
name of 100000 club women" in
their campaign for the passage of the
resolution providing for an eighteenth
amendment to the constitution Great
ing woman's suffrage throughout the
nation.
The president in rejecting the plea
said that he thought that woman suf-
frage was a question which ought to
be settled by the state and not by the
national government.
Il am obliged to say very frankly
to you that l am in agreement with
those who framed the Baltimore plat
form when they left out all reference
to woman's suffrage" he said. Then
the Baltimore platform upheld that
principle Of the constitution which al
lots certain questions for the jurisdic-
ton of the states and others for, the
federal government, it takes the right
course. / have always favored local
self-government. 1t is obvious to me
from what you have said that there is
no ground on your part for discourage
ment in the campaign you have been
waging in the states. think that is
the right course to pursue"
The president further stated that
president had dual duty. He was
charged with administration of the law
and was also leader of the policy of
his party as determined in advance by
the party leaders.

UNITED STATES WARSHIP
FIRES ON SANTO DOMINGO
Shells Back Up Order to Stop Bonn
Standardization Taken to
Shield Foreigners.

Washington, June 30.-The United
States gunboat Machies, acting under
orders of the navy department, bonn
barded and silenced the artillery bat
teries of President Bordas of Santo
Domingo, which had opened fire on
the city Of Puerta Plaza. although
warned not to do So.
Part of the city of Puerta Plata is In
the hands of General Arias, head OF
the revolutionists, and the artillery
of President Bordas opened fire in an
attempt to drive the rebels out.
A protest against the bombardment
was made in order to protect the lives
of Americans and other foreigners IN
the city. Only a few shots from the
Machias were needed to silence the
artillery.
Captain Russell of the South Caro-
lima is in charge of the United States
naval vessels in Santo DOMINICAN wa
tiers.
The text of Captain Russelps report
to the navy department, dated June 20
is as follows:
This afternoon about $50 when
the Bordas artillery ashore fired shells
into the city of Puerta Plata the Ma
CHS anchored in the inner harbor ana
with some shots from her main bat
terry stopped the artillery fire into the
city, after which there was no further
firing.
1--WE have the situation well in hand
and no additional vessels, either Unit
ed States or foreign, will be needed
to prevent the bombardment of Pu-
erta Plata. The prompt stopping OF
the artillery fire into the city THIS
afternoon will have very reassur-
ing effect upon the Americans ana
other foreigners in the city, who have
recently displayed great anxiety about
their protection and safety"
