RICHNESS OF CREAM
AN ECONOMIC FACTOR

In visiting the numerous Cream
cries throughout the central western
states, Prof j. D. Jarvis, of the
Dairy aud Creamery Improveme emit o
ahe De Laval Separator Co., found
a numberYof causes responsible Tor
the large loss of butter-fat, and the
defect inequality Of the butter manu-
factured. The chief Of these was
chin, Creama The density of Cream
is one Of the most important factors
III the success or failure Of al Crea i
cry. This may seem strange to many
Creamery Managers, especially those
whose Low testing cream comes in
sweet, or those who are receiving
whole milk as we'll as gathered
cream. Nevertheless, thin Cream is
chiefly responsible for the abnor-
Glal loss of butter-fat. and quality
of butter, and hence the low price
paid the patrons for the fat.
Ten years ago creameries re-
ceived whole milk which was deliye
ed to them daily, and they ex-
periencei littlle trouble with the
quality of their butter because the
patrons had to deliver the sweet
milk or it could not be used. This
milk was SKINNED with factory-size
delivering a very heavy Cream hus
excessive loss of buttter-fat in the
blttermilk were prevented
With the Introduction of the
Hand Separator, the Creamery indus
try has been revoultionized. The
progressive Farmer of to-day kesps
Ills skim-milk for feed, and delivers
nerely the cream to the Cream
cry. Cream does not sour as quick
~ as milk, hence, deliveries to
the Cremery need not be as freauen
wnlch means a material saving in
the cost of getting the butter fat
from the farm to the Creamery, and
the Dairy business is in every way
more satisfactory and profitable
to the patron,
Because of this fact, Creameries
have abandoned their skimming
stations and patrons are using the
Hand Separators. The best is al
ways the cheapest.

let Us MAKE THIS
THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

If every man who reads this
and every woman, ,too-would make
1T his or her business, the next
hour he or she has, to look around
the home premises and see how
they could be fixed up to look bet
Ter it would be a great thing for
Extra. 1t might not induce people to
do much but perhaps if you
would look around bit
you would find there lis loose
board in the sidewalk, a broken
picket i'm the fence that the corner Q
the porch has sagged or the front
steps need a new plank in them.
Maybe the house has needed a new
coat Of paint for long time. Per
haps new curtains are needed at
the front windows. And the inside
of the house is quite as important as
the outside-is more important, for
it is OH the inside you live and
where visitors gett their real inn
preston of you and of the town.
Maybe before you get through, if
you will really look about you,
there VIII be several things that
can be made to look vastly better
with the aid of few boards or
nails or a little vairnisl or a small
expenditure of money. Collectively
the effct on this town will be great.
There is no economy i'm letting
things run down and puttig repairs
off. A house that needs repairs is
going down hill; and a house that
lis going down hill is losing Value
value both in money and comfort
Let's make this a better looking
town; and let's begin like charity,
at home. And make Extra in fact
The City Beautiful.

TWILIGHT SLEEPERS
SHOULD awake

The Twilight Sleep Idea is a
beautiful one. Anything that tends
to reduce pain and suffering is to
be welcomed. But twilight sleep is.
nothing new in this part of the
country. We know of some towns
that are in chronic state of twi-
light slumber. and they will never
s.come to-" Some Of our own citi-
zens mentioning no names, go about
from day to day in a never-ending
twilight slumber And looking over
our list of delinquent subscribers
make 4 rise to inquire what the doe
tors use to bring their twilight-sleep
ers out of their trance. Send us the
formula, for there are a few sub
jects ON that list whom we'd like
to awaken. Did we call them twiligh
sleepers? Suffering cats. the deep
est, BLACKLIST, midnight could not be-
gin to equal the darkness and depth
of their slumbers.

AN APPARATUS
FOR MAKING ICE


Every farmer can have his own
ice nlaiitt at a cost of from $13
to $40 if he will use the apparat us
described in a new bulletin justs
issued by D. ]. d. Walters, pro-
fessor of architecture in the Kan
sas Agricultural college.
The. ice plant Is made of gal
vanized iron and consists of a dou-
bic tank with an inner tank about
10 feet long 2 fest wide, and 12
inches deep. The top of the tank
should he slightly wider than the
bottom. The inner tank should be
divided into six compartments by
means of galvanized iron strips.
This double tank should be placed
near an out door pump where the
compartments can be easily filled
with water. Being exposed on all
sides the water will freeze in from
one to three hours. A bucket
full OF hot water poured~into the
space between the two tanks will
loosen the cakes SO that they may
be removed. One freezing will give
five cakes of ice each weighing 12O
pounds Fourteen freezings will
yield four tons of pure ice, or en-
ongh to last an average family for
a year. The cakes of ice can be
packed away in saiwdust in the cell
lar as they are frozen.

those rare and delightful occasions
which will long be remembered by
those present.

Brayton, and were present on this
occasion. ALI of the grand -child ldrem
of which there are eight and two
great-grandc children. were present.
Mr.. Jenkins when he was ,13
years old, moved with his parents
10 Audubon County. He was one of
the first actual settlers in the Coun-
ty and is the only surviving mem-
ber of a family Of children. He
is a veteran of the Civil War having
been member of the 22nd Iowa
Battery i'm which he enlisted i'm Aug.
19, 1861. He took part in the bat
