DRUNKENNESS AND DIVORCE.

A home a day, 1t is stated, was
wrecked by divorce last year IN Chi
cago. A Chicago newspaper, investi-
eating as to what extent alcohol is
responsible, gives a summary Of its
findings. Habitual drunkenness, it
says. is the charge in 1872 Of these d.
vorce cases. To this charge others
were added in 124 Isl In 80 Of
these Tin which the charge was drunk
enness and cruelty, women were the
compliments. These two charges ap-
pear together more frequently than
any other n combination of charges
on which divorces were granted. The
cases tabulated we're tried before
judges of the superior court. Others
which came before the circuit court

from Chas. F. Mills, general secretary
Of the National Top Notch Farmers
Clubs in the United States, notifying
him OF a high honor which has been
conferred on a Mississippi boy. The

Bonnie Beeson Of Monticello, who
achieved some three or four years ago
a record Of 227.17 bushels Of corn to

was made several years ago, the TOP
Notch club does not appear to have
found any, either before or since, to
equal it. must less surpass It.
In his letter to the governor, Secre-

SEPARATOR IS USEFUL
Invention Has Helped to Revolu-
tionize Dairy Business.
One Great Advantage Is Capitalization
Of MISUNDERSTANDING Plant
and Swimming Stations Are
Fast Disappearing.

(By J. NJ. CADwALLADER. Louisiana
Experiment Station.)
The cream separator is one CT the
great inventions that has helped to
revolutionize the dairy business. Its
effect has been especially noticeable
upon the butter industry. Its ten
dency has been to lower the quality OF
butter, but this is not due to any fault
in the principle Of the cream separa-
tor but chiefly to the Jack of proper
care Of the separator and In han.
ding the cream. One great advantage
resulting from the use Of the sepa-
rator is Capitalization of the dairy
business. and the whole-milk plant
and Swimming stations are disappear
ing.
Milk should be separated at a tenn
perature of IS to 30 degrees and
separation can be accomplished best
as soon as the milk is drawn from
the cow, for at that time 1t has a
temperature near SO degrees. There
which will separate at a lower tenn
perature than others, but the same
machine will do more efficient work
at a higher temperature.
Since bacteria are the cause OF the
souring Of milk and cream and they
have a luxuriant growth at high
temperature. especially the undesira-
BILE kinds, the cream should be cooled
as soon as possible to so degrees or
lower, preferably so degrees F. This
can be accomplished by passing the
cream over special apparatus made
for that purpose or, In case there is
only q small amount Of cream, 1t may
be placed in a tin vessel Of some
kind and this vessel placed In cold
running water. or ice water is prefer
able. All containers or utensils which
come in contact with the milk should
be washed thoroughly with boiling
water and allowed to sun and ali
when not in use.
The mornings cream should be
cooled to the same temperature as the
evenings cream and then they can be
mixed without injury to the keeping

FORMATION OF GAS IN SIL0
Safest Plan to Run Some Silaoe Into
Pit Before Going ln-lantern
Test 10 Recommended.

A good way to determine II there is
gas in the silo is to lower a lighted
lantern. II It goes out 1t will not be
safe to go into the silo. Gas may form
in a silo at the time of filling and for
a week or so afterward. This gas is
heavier than air and 80 will settle In
the silo. As soon as filling the silo Is
started the falling silage will stir up
enough air currents to drive out the
gas. It is safest when filing pit silos
to u some silage into them before
gotrx in. or use the lantern test.
