USE FOR A HAND SEPARATOR
Less Work Necessary In Handling
Milk With Device Than Without
Machine Saves Waste.

A hand separator saves all waste OF
butterfat. What is the use Of feeding
cows good corn. hay and other stuff
that costs money and then allowing
the product to go to waste?
Less work is necessary to handle
milk with the separator than without,
because there are fewer utensils to be
used and the skim milk may be fed to
the pigs and calves and chickens at
once, and does not have to be handled
again.
Forty or fifty dollars will buy good
separator, big enough for herd OF
four or five cows, and II will save its
cost the first year. II properly cared
for, a separator is good for ten years.
The cream from a separator will
bring more money because 1t is uni
form in richness. and is sweeter be-
cause. as 1t is separated while the milk
is warm and fresh, 1t does not absorb
odors as It would II left standing
around.
The separator saves hauling milk to
the creamery and then hauling the
skim milk back to the farm. Then
skim milk hauled any considerable dis
lance becomes cold and sometimes
dirty and tainted and not fit to feed.
II a farmer has ten or more cows he
will require larger separator-one
that will handle say $50 pounds of milk
in about fifteen minutes, and he then
should have a small gasoline engine to
do the work. II is quicker and cheaper
than hand power.

KEEP SHEEP ON EVERY FARM
Flock OF From twenty-five to Thirty
Ewes Can Be Maintained at Es-
eeedinaiy Small Cost.

By J. r. MCLINToCK. Ohio Expert
ment Station)
A small flock OF from twenty-five to
thirty ewes should be found on every
farm. A flock OF this size can be kept
at little expense. II will, II given a
chance. clean the fields Of weeds. pro-
vide a supply OF wholesome food, and
return to the farmer a neat sum from
the wool produced.
A strong, vigorous, purebred ram
should be used. Ewes. to be desir-
able should have straight backs and
good mouths. As a rule, sheep have
one pair OF permanent front teeth
when one year old. two pairs when
two years old. A eve with a full
mouth may be FIVE or more years old,
but II the teeth are neither broken nor
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1915-08-12

lost. nor worn down. the eve may be
bred and kept for a year with good
results.
A small flock Of ewes can often be
pastured during the winter on a wheat
or rye field. The best roughage for
sheep Is clover or alfalfa hay and a
few roots. II clover is not available,
however. corn fodder supplemented
with a little bran or linseed meal is
sufficient AS soon as the lambs are
old enough to eat, give them a little
cracked corn where the ewes cannot
get II.
A fence that has been used success
fully by the United States Forest
service In protecting sheep from coy
otes is recommended. This fence is
built as follows: A strand of barbed
wire is stapled TO posts at the sur.
face OF the ground: three inches above
this is placed a 30inch strip of close
woven wire fencing. and above this
are stretched two strands OF barbed
wire.
II sheep free from stomach worms
are secured, little trouble will be caus.
ed by these pests. The worms are
small round whitish worms that infest
the stomachs of the sheep. The lambs
become infested by eating grass on
which the young worms have crawled.
1t is recommended therefore. that the
lambs be placed on pastures that have
not been occupied by mature sheep.

sILo BUILDING IN KENTUCKY

From letters received by the Ken
lucky Agricultural Experiment sta
ton from farmers in all sections OF
Kentucky. as we'll as from other
sources Of information, II Is evident
that more silos will be erected in
Kentucky this season than in any
previous year in the history Of the
state. Immediately following the
laying by of the corn crop new
silos were begun on hundreds OF
Kentucky farms and conservative
estimate will place the number OF
silos constructed this season ABOVE
the thousand mark.
Farmers throughout Kentucky
have learned the many advantages
AZ the silo. They have begun to
realize the great saving in storage
space made possible by the use oil
the silo and have come to appreci-
ate the advantage of having green
succulent feed for their stock in
the winter time. For several years
rast Kentucky beef cattle men VINO
fed corn silage have made the big
gest profits on their feeding opera
tions. Dairy-men also have found
that cows fed on silage give a much
larger flow of milk and return much
greater net profits than when FED
entirely upon dry feeds.
The Kentucky Experiment sta
ton has established a silo and barn
building service which gives valua-
bic assistance To farmers who con-
Template the erection OF silos and
harms Of any type-concretc, wood
brick tile or metal. Upon request
the station silo expert will visit
individual farms. locate silos ana
give detailed instruction in the
erection Of silos. The Station also
has a number Of forms in use IN
building concrete silos. a set OF
these forms may be obtained by any
farmer in the state for nominal
rental fee. Last year n larg"
number 81 Kentucky farmers avail
ed themselves Of this service To
their great satisfaction and profit,
MANY farmers also took advantage
of the opportunity to secure plans,
estimates ~ cost and bills Of ma
torials for farm barns.

The best authorities on Runner
ducks agree that the purebred Pen
ciled Runner lays pure white eggs. and
many Of them, as invariably as does
the purebred leghorn Of different varie-
ties. AS result the Runner duck
has earned the name Of "the Leghorn
of the duck family"
As a utility fowl the true Penciled
Runner stands we'll in the lead, and
as other varieties have usually been
made from this one. they, too, are prov.
ing their worth. when given a chance.
1t Is fortunate that we have at least
one breed that has demonstrated itself
as layer, and for that reason is kept
more for utility than show. This
makes the Runner duck a farmers
bird.
The Australian and New Zealand
egg records are among the proud
achievements of those countries, and
are wonderment to many poultry
men. In referring to these records,
the breeder Of Penciled Runners gets
much consolation for some Of the best
egg records of those countries have
been made by this duck. In fact, the
Penciled Runner has won over the
hustling little Leghorn there.
In Australia the Utility club has
egg-laying contests Of great interest
Ducks and other fowl from that con
tinent and New Zealand compete In
these contests, and the rivalry is even
greater than in our fancy shows in
this country. The competing ducks

won fine places. Most Of the breeders

HOW WE DUMP VALUABLE SOIL
INTO THE SEA

In the current issue Of Farm and
Preside, a contributor writing under
the title Dumping Soil Into the
Sea" tells how middle west farms
lose eleven tons of earth a second.
Following is an extract from what
this writer reports:
Eleven tons OF soil is carried into
the Gulf Of Mexico every second by
the Mississippi River from its i'm
mense drainage district This ma
terial amounts TO $40 million tons
every year, and is equal TO the sur
face soil, 6 % inches deep, Of 3i6-
900 acres"

OF ducks there consider SIX ducks
plenty for a pen in breeding for best
utility qualities, and 1t is very interest
ing to note the type of duck the win
ners of the contests there are, in COM
parison with our present show types
here. Their ducks are much more
heavy and broad, and the type is en-
tirely different in both Runners and
Buff Orpington ducks. This is some
thing for our utility breeders to con-
slider.
Probably the worlds official record
is held by one of those New Zealand
Runners. This duck laid 800 eggs in
365 days In her second year. She laid
512 eggs In 20 months, including the
Noting season. A daughter of this
duck laid 1T eggs in 179 consecutive
days, and 293 eggs in 314 actual con-
secutive laying days. When she was
two years and eight months old her
record was over 500 eggs. The breeder
OF these ducks mated the females to
brakes whose dams had a record Of 200
eggs a year or better.
In the Christchurch test the Buzz
Orpington ducks made a fine record.
Both Orpington and Runner ducks
have made fine records in the Cam
bridge tests there. and one pen Of

after those tests had ended. In 5h
months after the above tests ended one

Orpingtons, 772 eggs; Penciled Run
ners, 74s eggs. This is an average Of
129 and 1875 per duck for the time
