VALUE OF CREAM SEPARATOR
A. Much Milk Obtained From Four
Cows Where Machine 10 Used -
From Five Ordinarily.

The farmer who uses a cream sepa.
rator obtains as much milk from four
cows as is obtained from five cows
where cream is raised in pan. The
separator method gets 25 per cent
more cream from the milk and this
viii pay far separator in a year in
dairy herd of ten or more cows. As
the cream Is separated while fresh and
sweet. ripening can be controlled and
butter of much better grade can be
secured than II the cream is raised by
gravity.
The use OF separator lightens the
work for the housewife. The machine
is kept In small room adjoining the
barn and only the separator parts are
brought from the house. These in.
stead of numerous pans and crooks
are returned to the kitchen for wash.
ing after the fresh skim milk has been
fed to the calves and pigs.
A well-made separator will last for
years. in spite OF the fact that 10 is put
into service twice a day. The sepa.
rator should run for from four to six
years without repairs, II reasonable
care is used.

found to be TO blame. Statistics pub.

oNE.cRoP SYSTEM NOT SAFE
Objections Given by Bradford Knapp
at Conference Of Bankers-Diver-
slfication 10 Remedy.

Seven objections to one-crop sys-
tenn of agriculture are set forth in Cir
cular No. Sc OF the office OF the sec
retary. which is reprint OF an ad-
dress delivered by Bradford Knapp at
n conference of southern bankers.
The reasons why a one-crop system is
unsafe are stated by Mr.. Knapp to be
as follows:
"First-Because the system de-
pends upon market and crop condi-
tions of the one crop alone. Failure
Of crop or failure OF market alike
bring serious disaster.
"Second-Because it fails to provide
for tho maintenance OF soil fertility.
"Third-Because II fails to provide
for a sufficient livestock industry to
consume tho waste products of the
farm and make its waste lands pro-
ductive.
"Fcurth-Becaus 1t does not pro-
vide for system Of farm manage
ment under which labor, teams. and
tools may be used to the fullest advan-
tage.
"Fifth-Because II brings return in
cash, but once year instead of turn
ing the money over more than once
year.
"Sixth-Because II does not pro
duce the necessary foods to supply
the people upon the farm and keep
them in health and strength.
"Seventh-lt limits knowledge, mar
rows citizenship, and does not foster
home building. but does encourage
commercial farming"
The remedy for these evils Is diver
4 sification. Diversification. however
means something else than change
from growing cotton to growing some
thing else. One Louisiana man. who
believed that he was convert to di
versihcation, planted 500 acres OF to

turned from cotton to corn and hat

have been or where existing balances

3. Lack of any systematic practice
In handling funds among most coun-
ties makes 1t very difiicult to carry out
over even o single year any persistent
maintenance policy. because funds of.
iicially obligated for maintenance pur.
poses are not protected against spo-
radio and irregular drafts for miscel-

that there will be no balance in the
maintenance fund In the last half or

Of the fund allotted may have been
spent.

nance work Is made dissatisfied by
the constant, unin.ell!gent and unfa-

8. Maintenance continuing over q
period OF years-the ultimate indis-

One OF the most frequent questions
asked In regard to grazing is, How
many hogs will an acre carry?" II is
impossible TO answer such general
question IN very definite way. II
can be answered approximately in the
following way.
Hogs from eight to twelve months
old ought to average pound and
half to two pounds OF grain per day
during the fattening period. We know
approximately the amount OF food re-
Quired to make this amount of grain,
and II we make guess of the yield
we can make an appropriate guess of
the number OF hogs required to con-
suiie the crop In given time. A
crop OF % bushels OF corn. with the ac-
companying cowpeas. ought to make
400 pounds OF pork. or be the equiva-
lent OF feed for one hog for 200 days.
lf we want 10 consume that amount In
80 days. It would require seven hogs.
II the hogs are OF mixed ages, includ-
ing pigs. 1t will carry an average of
ten to twelve hogs per acre. Peanuts
would make a little more pork per
acre than corn, but when the carbohy.
drates are added to more nearly bal
ance the ration, the pigs will be main
tained for as long a time on peanuts
as the corn will carry them. The same
acreage in sweet potatoes will carry
the hogs from one and one-half to two
times as long as an acre of corn, II the
