rest for Speeding.

A motorist was stopped by police
man for speeding, whereupon be be-

an ass. After he lad paid his fine,
the judge reproved him for what he
had said to the officer.
Then l mustn't call policeman an

Certainly not" said the judge. You
must no. insult the police"
But you wouldn't mind If called
an ass a policeman, would you?"
Why. ne, If it gives you any sat

a smile.
The motorist turned to the man
who had arrested him. Good day. po-
liceman," he said. and Immediately

Electricity on Farms.

has made great advances in the last
two years. In some communities the
farmers have financed local distribu-
ton systems, taking current from the
nearest cross-country transmission
line at one point and retailing it
among themselves. In other commu-
mites individual farmers find it de-
sirable to pay for lines directly from
the power plant to the farm. Other
electric companies install the connec-
ton and require a yearly minimum
use proportionate to the investment
in the line extension.

MISTAKE TO CHANGE BREEDS
Start With the Kind Liked Best and
Stick to It-cull Poor Specimens
and Buy Better Ones.

To change breeds every now and
then is poor practice One should be
very careful before the particular
breed is chosen. To use a Holstein
sire one year in order to obtain a
large flow of milk, Guernsey sire an
other year to secure richness of milk,
and a Shorthorn sire the next time,
is the wrong principle to employ in
the breeding and raising of good cows.
Undoubtedly some good cows will
be obtained in the herd from such
methods of procedure, but there will
be no uniformity of size, form, appear
ance and production, and the owner
has no assurance of what he is going
to get in the future 1t is a case of
too many in the mixture, and it is
guesswork as to which one will come
to the top.
First, select the breed with great
care, then stick to it. If mistake is
made the first time in obtaining poor
specimens and poor producers, then
rectify the mistake as soon as possible
by selecting the right kind of sire
belonging to the same breed to head
the herd, or by selling the animals

ances, a thoroughbred, but which, at
farrowing time, showed up litter Of
pigs that fell short of the scrub"
standard. This kind of robbery is SO
apparent and the hog market so easily
reached that it is inexcusable allow
ing oneself to be thus plundered,
especially when good sows are to be
obtained-sows that eat no more feed
than the poor breeder and produce
double the number of offspring.
Old rickety gates are farm robbers
that get in their work almost every
day in the year. You would hardly
believe how much time you fool away
in worrying these nuisances open and
shut, beside the amount of time their
frequent repairing calls for.
The old tumble-down fence belongs
to the same class of robbers, ana it
holds you up at times the whole year
around, despoiling you of time, labor
and money in repairing; often causing
you to hunt the country over for stock
that broke out; training the stock to
be breachy by encouraging them to
sneak through the crops.
The crimes of these common rob
bers are too numerous to mention, the
means Of their suppression too appar.
ent for us to waste more space con-
demning them. Hang them without
mercy.

SEPARATION OF SOUR MILK
Pour From One Pan to Another,
Breaking up Curd as Fine as Pos
slble-PreVents Clogging.

Milk that has curdled will separate
with difficulty. Such milk should be
thoroughly mixed previous to separat-
ing, by pouring from one can into an
other. In this way the curd is broken
up as finely as possible, so that it will
not clog the machine. The separation
of curdled milk finally clogs the skim
milk tubes, with the result that more
skim milk passes through the cream
outlet, making a thinner cream.
On the other hand, when sour milk
which has not curdled is separated,
the cream produced will be thicker.
This is due to the fact that cream
from sour milk has a high viscosity,
or is less fluid, and smaller proper
ton of cream is delivered, contain
ing a higher per cent of fat.

1t is usually safer to try to improve

improve by changing to a different
breed. There are good individuals and
good strains within any of the breeds
