Cream Separator Bowl Leaks

machine is practically useless without
new parts.
Another frequent cause of bowl leaks
is from over-speeding, which either sets
up such pressure in the bowl that
the milk is forced out through the bowl
ring in spite of its apparent efficiency,
or the increased speed causes the milk
to spray from the outlets and the tin
ware fills with foam, which finds its
way into the bowl frame.
Bowl leaks are also caused by starting
the milk through the separator before
full speed has been reached, and by
dropping the speed at the last OF the
run before the bowl is completely
emptied OF its contents.
The milk of COW suffering from in
digestion, comparatively frequent all
ment, will foam anc pass into the bowl
frame.
Illfitting AID worn out bowl rings, OF
course, play no inconsiderable part In
the trouble.

Improving The Herd

keep cows and milk them. If so,
then you may as well have as good
cows as possible, for good cow takes

requires no more attention than a very
poor producer.
1t would seem that everybody would
want better cows than he has, no mat
ter how good they are. Yet this is the
exception rather than the rule, judg-
ing by deeds instead of words. A very
small per cent only have good dairy
sires. A still smaller per cent endeavor
by test to find out which cows are
worthy of place in the herd as breed
ing stock. As long as the scrub bull
and scrub cow exist there will be no
herd improvement.

useless to buy good sire and make nc

to breed from. 1t is a slow process of

tanned and their offspring also. The
poorest ones keep dragging the record
down.

END.
No one can expect as much milk from
a herd improperly housed and fed as
from one receiving regular, intelligent
attention. Fall-fresh cows will do bet
ter than spring fresh.
/ 1t has been found that the farmer
who made the improvement and profit
was student of dairy farming. He was
q reader of dairy literature to the ex-
tent Of becoming disciple Of better
dairying. Until man has ambition to
do better he never does. When he reads
with indifference or ridicule he's a
standpatter for whom there is no hope.
But when he gets enthused and begins
to practice what he reads then there
is hope for his herd improvement.

Dairy Hints

1T is well to remember that old milk
i is never wholesome even when it has
been kept at low temperature and
lis still sweet.
You should be on friendly terms with
your cows to reap the benefit of their
full capabilities.
That milk can, is it getting rustyY
A rusty can, no matter how well it is
cleansed, will give milk an off flavor.
You cannot afford to let other farm
duties interfere with the regular care
and milking of the cows.
| 1t can safely be set down that but
ter churned and worked too warm will
be unsatisfactory in color and flavor
! Some farmers won't believe it, but
it is fact that most profitable mo-
ments we can spend are in spraying
the cows.
/ The evenings are warm enough yet
to cause the cows blood to surge to-
ward fever heat while she is being
driven up by thoughtless boy and a
worthless dog.
Cows are nervous, timid and sensi-
tive and they suffer with inconsistencies
The newly purchased cow is apt to fall
off in her milk flow for time until
she gets used to new surroundings.
Warts on cows teats may be remov-
ed by applying tinctrre of iodine every
day for a1out ten DAYS. Warts annoy
the mixer and are often painful to the
COW.

Il BOWL leak in cream separator
~ is sometimes unavoidable, but in
almost every instance it can be
corrected by change in your methods
When manufacturer puts on the crank

65 turns per minute, he does it because
it is absolutely necessary to turn the

happens that not sufficient force is gem
Grated to throw the milk and cream
across the intervening space between
the outlet Of the bowl and the spouts,
and small amount of milk trickles be-

volume that the drain will not carry
it off and the milk goes into the top
bearing and finds it way down into
the gears with disa .trous results unless
the machinery is promptly and carefully
cleaned. We have seen separators utte.-

the fact that the accumulated filth in

IN DISCUSSING the future meat

letin one Of the writers said:
"Sheep are not generally profitable to
the farmer Their numbers are slowly
decreasing nearly everywhere except on
the ranges, and the latter are SO fully
stocked that not much increase is to
be looked for in that direction. There
is no probability of any considerable
future increase in the number of these
animals.

looking the possibilities along the line
of sheep growing as small farm in

erly handled there is no more profitable
farm animal. Another writer in this
same bulletin seems to give the sheep
more consideration as meat producing
animal. This writer takes up in detail
the various ways in which the average
farm can get into the meat production
business. One of the possibilities he
mentions is: "By raising sheep more
extensively in the corn belt and in the
eastern states. The Importance of the
wool industry causes farmers to over

sheep of one of the mutton breeds
should be kept on every farm to Craze
the roadways, the stubble fields after
grain is cut and the corn field after the
corn is full grown. Both wool and
lambs are salable."
Many farm would be more profit
able enterprise as whole if a small
flock Of sheep was added to the live
stock equipment. Sheep reproduce more
rapidly than cattle and come to matur
ity at an early age, rivaling swine in
this respect. Being ruminants they
handle the same class of feeds as cattle
and are far more useful than cattle as
cleaners of waste. The meat is yer,
healthful and, as the carcass is small,
furnishes possibilities in fresh meat,
which would be most acceptable on
most farms, especially during the sum
mer season. This alone should give 3
few sheep a place on every farm. On
some farms chicken is the only fresh
meat available during the summer
season. Even fried chicken becomes
monotonous when it is the only fresh
meat appearing on the table for days al

FIVE POINTS OF A DAIRY cow.

THE five points to be observed in
selecting a good dairy cow are:
1st. Large body and especially
middle piece, indicating capacity Tor
eating and digesting lot of food.
I'd. Thinly fleshed backbone and es-
pecially back of the shoulders. This
indicates that the food is not made into
flesh.

TIME FOR DIGGING POTATOES
Crop Is important One and Farmer
Should Not Be Compelled to Buy
Them for Table Use.

Where potatoes are very dirty
when taken from the field, some
growers wash all the soil off them.
Others maintain that it ruins their
flavor and palatability. They are ce--
tainly far cleaner and more desirable
to handle when the hose has been
turned on them. and the clinging,
hardened dirt washed off.
If the ground is fairly dry when
they are dug, and if they are allowed
to take the air and the wind for a
while, they will usually be clean
enough to do without washing. There
is every reason for digging them dur
ing such weather conditions.
Potato digging should be made a
sort CT an odd job, one that can be
done at any tire when there is no;h.
ing more pressing to do. The potato
crop should be an important one, and
any farmer who is forced to buy po-
tatoes fer table use should look upon
himself as temporarily disgraced.
Enough potatoes are spelled every
year by careless digging to feed a
city of the second class fo- twelve
months. Only in communities where
the potato is the main and staple crop
is there any real care shown in dig
ging and handling this very important
food crop.
