Many who grant that the separator
is useful in the summer. do not fully
realize that it is just as useful in the
winter time.
In fact where there is quantity of
milk to handle, it is in some respects
even more of necessity.
Milk has, of course, many points
which require especial attention dur
ing the cold weather. and to adjust
these seems to be the special mission
of the separator
Almost everyone who complains dur
Ing the cold weather that the cream
does not rise properly, has seen d.
rections to obviate this by heating on
the range almost to the scalding point
when the milk is first strained.
Some nave tried this with success,
and well know that it means more
hard work, and butter money under
such conditions is surely earned Yet,
where the milk is obtained in large
quantities this method would be out
Of the question without special facili-
ties.
The separator asks nc special ia
vors, and the cream must separate
when it gets to work. The process is
equally thorough and easy in zero
weather, or when the mercury is trav-
cling around among the nineties.
Also, the cream will be of the same
uniform quality day after day. There
is on danger of being compelled to
churn for hours just because the but
ter refuses to come, which is usually
the result of slow gathering of the
condition lessened when all the cream
is bound to come, and that at the prop
er time.
The mixing of too much milk with
the cream, the cream-gauge arranges
perfectly
Butter made from a separated
cream is uniform in quality There is
no need of an apology because the
cream was a little this or that, for
where only the cream and not the
milk must be kept at certain temper
ature, the work is easily done.
To keep the milk for hours at the
most favorable temperature might
mean great inconvenience in the
household, but the smaller cream jar

and thus easily kept at the desired

in the way.
While it goes without saying that
more butter is obtained because all
the cream is taken from the milk and
kept in the best condition, it is equally
true that the product is uniformly!
good. There is no variation
In this way, if you can please a Gus
toner one day, you can please him the
next, and this he soon discovers and
asks for your butter. Then, the dealer
who handles your butter soon learns
to guarantee it. He can sell it for
better price than the ordinary butter.

If you still wish to send the prod

load to be hauled over bad roads is
very greatly lessened Usually it is
not necessarily delivered so often; and
in the colder weather, when there ia
danger of freezing in transit, the small
can is again more easily managed
The advantage of having the farm

DRINK AND DEATH RATE.

English insurance companies inyes-
tigating the death rate of various
classes OF people, have announced
that of 61,215 average people, 1000
die annually; of 61,215 total abstain
ers. $50 die annually; of 61,215 liquor
drinkers, 1.642 die annually. and in
other words, the death rate for the
three classes is as follow: Average
death rate. 1888 to the 1000; total abb
stainers. GA to the 1000; liquor
drinkers, 1852 to the 1000. Kansas

FEEDING PEANUTS TO SWINE
Hay viii Run From One-HaIf to One
Ton Per Acre and Is Almost Equal
to Alfalfa in Value.

Dry weather and hot winds will have
no terror for the Oklahoma farmer
who adopts the motto of Pigs ana
Peanuts
The drought this season has demon
strated, says the Duncan Eagle, that
peanuts will thrive better during the
dry. hot season than even kafir corn,
and the peanuts have still further
advantage in having far greater food
value than either corn or kafir.
The highest priced pork on the mar
ket. says the Oklahoma Farmer, IL
from the peanut-fed hogs, and the ham
from peanut-fed hogs brings from 1e
to Is cents pound more than the
ham from corn-fed hogs.
The peanut hay will run from one.
half to one ton to the acre. and ii
almost the equal of alfalfa in feed
value. Farmers who raise peanuts anG
hogs can have the hogs harvest the
crop if they desire to turn them info
the peanut field, or they can put tha
peanuts. vine and all, with little corn
or kafir into silo, which makes a
richer silage than either alone. Thap-
sands Of farmers in Oklahoma need H.
adopt the motto of Pigs and pea

The time to plan a pig and peanut
campaign Is now. Splendid seed pea
nuts will be offered for sale soon. ana

New Cotton picker.

the suction apparatus has set OF
teeth in its bell-shaped mouth, so that
after the boil has entered the mouth
it will not withdraw, but will be
sucked into the tub and through the
latter into the cage. 1t Is much
swifter and neater operation than
picking cotton by hand. and two or
three men can pick field quicker

1t is the home market and the for

In what way does the saloon affect
the hame market?
Let Left Jones, the English member
of parliament, answer that question:
Il met the finished product of the
saloon. He was lying in the gutter.
He had no hat, the hat trade was suf
fering; his coat was full of holes, the
clothing trade was suffering; he had
on the remnant of a shirt, the wooden
trade was suffering; he had on no
socks, the hosiery trade was suffer
ing; he was dirty, the soap trade was
suffering; l can hardly mention use
full industry in the country that was
not affected by that mans insobriety.'
Follow this man home and you
would find by an inventory of his wife
and children that the millinery trade,
underwear trade, the dress goods
trade, the ribbon trade, and a hundred
other trades were suffering. Look
about his home, and you would find
that the furniture trade, the carpet
trade, the picture trade, the dinner
ware and cooking utensil trade, and a
hundred more were suffering. So with
the toy trade and the Christmas tree
trade; all suffering because of one

an announcement OF the classes Of

Ter prizes this year. As heretofore,
the congress will offer slo,0o in
prizes OF this amount $500 will
be offered for garden products with
a vie" OF encouraging gardening in
the state. W. G. Barrickman, sec
rotary of the organization, said yes
terday:
We hope that the prizes We are
offering for garden products will
cause 100000 new gardens to be cul-
tivated this year. We calculate that
if the gardeners raise only IS worth
of vegetables each, which is a very
low estimate, they will cut down the
cost of living half a million dollars.
Professor n. NJ. McGinnis of the
Denton College Of Industrial Arts,
has consented to travel during the
month of January in the interest of
garden movement, He will visit the
schools in the cities and larger towns.
He will cooperate with the teaci.-
ers and mothers clubs in organic
ing the boys and girls for home
gardening and for the cultivation of
vacant lots. 1t is estimated that in
the city of Austin there are 500 va
cant lots and that in San Antonio
the vacant lots, if thrown into one
body OF land, would survey 5000
acres. We have no estimates on 9TH
er cities, but we know that IN -v-
cry one of them there are many va
cant lots that might as well be
turned into gardens.
Professors w s. Taylor and c. II.
Winkler of the department of agri-
cultural education in the University
of Texas have prepared for the con-
gress garden bulletin which we
shall distribute as a manual of in
struetion. 1t will tell the people
how TO prepare the land. how to Sc
lect seeds, how to plant them and
no" to cultivate the plants, This
bulletin will be ready fer distribu-
ton next week. We already have on
file great number of applications
for the bulletin"
