 The milk separator should receive no more careful cleansing than the milker. After milking it is good plan to dip the teat cups in cool water and allow the machine to pump water through the tubes. All parts should be scrubbed with brush and washing soda and then rinsed. The metal parts may be well sterilized with steam and the rubber parts kept suspended in solution of II pounds of salt and five ounces of chloride of lime in 10 gal Ions of water. The solution will have to be changed every week, and it is well to put in an extra ounce of chlo ride of lime every other day.

DAIRYING ON BUSINESS BASIS
Farmers Must Use Milk Scales, Tester and Record sook-keep Account

In order to put dairying upon a busi' ness basis every farmer needs to use the milk scales. the tester and the rec. ord book Farmers must come to this proposition and do a little simple book keeping to know where they are. Every successful business man has a ledger to guide him in his transac. tions.
 Every dairyman needs to enter a separate account with each of his COWS so that he may have an indicator to tell him at the end of the year just how much feed each has consumed the amount of milk produced snd the percentage it tests.
 Too many farmers of this country are still keeping scrub COWS, feeding and milking them twice each day fourteen times each week and sixty times zach month.
