good cream separator will skim
a ID per cent cream practically as
closely as % per cent cream. The
only advantage of selling cream for
butter-making purposes which tests
% per cent or less is the very small
amount Of mechanical loss. That is,
less will stick to the can and stirring
rod. But especially in warm weather,
when cream pours easily and me-
chanical losses are low, a rich cream
is best. These are the reasons:
When cream is purchased on the
basis of its test, nothing whatever is
paid for any part of it except the but
terfat. The richer you skim ii the
more skim milk is kept on the farm.
A rich cream-one testing from 80
TO 10 per cent-requireS fewer cans

value, keeps longer in good condition,
is more quickly cooled and more
conveniently handled.
Transportation charges are less and
creamerieS prefer rich cream, so that
after the customary starter milk is
added, the cream will be of about the
proper richness for churning. Every
cream separator has simple adjust
ment for regulating the richness of
cream.

Generation.

In this age l fear everybody has
nearly forgotten about the dear old

Why, we used TO gather over at
Cheatham's hotel on a fine afternoon
round at the shady side, and we vii
lage lads and laSsies were in our
glory.
Knock went the mallet against the
ball, and we waited breathless for the
ball to roll through the wicket.
All, such moments the excitement
was intense. Every eye was fixed upon
the result of the stroke and we thought

All we knew was that the game was

ORIGIN OF THE NECK RUFF
Said to Have Been Devised by Span
ish Princess for Very Par
ticular Reason.

1t is said that the neck ruff, the sort
worn by Queen Elizabeth, which may
be considered as the ancestor of most
of the modern starched muslin neck
wear, was devised by a Spanish prin-
cess to cover scar or blemiSh on her
neck.
These dainty articles of apparel
were considered tremendous eXtrav-
agance when they were first intro
duced into England. For they could
not be worn after washing. England
knew nothing of the art of starching
and the starched muslin was imported
from the continent.
Later some clever person, on the
lookout for new vocation, took les
sons in starching, and set up starch
ing shop in London. Even then starched
neckwear was considered vanity.
Philip Stubbes, who wrote many clever
and satirical words anent the fashions
of his day-and published his writings
in 15S3-spoke of starch as the devils
liquor"
In those days, as in these, the collar
that flared high and wide at the back
of the neck was held out with sup
portasses or underprops of wire, COW
cred with gold thread, silver or silk.

treatment and is easily cured. A
sheep owner should never allow scab
TO remain in his flock, as it can be
easily eradicated by proper dipping.
The only rational treatment for COM
mon scab consists in using some ex-
ternal application which will kill the
parasites. Feeding sulphur and salt
and various other preparations to
sheep will not destroy the parasites
and consequently will not effect a
cure. Hand dressing, or "spot doctor
ing as it is commonly called, con-
sists in soaking the affected parts with
a indicated solution of strength suf!i-
cient to kill the mites. This acts as a
palliative and tends temporarily to
check the disease, but will not effect
a cure.
Dipping consists in immersing the
sheep in q medicated solution that will
kill the parasites, and is the only
practical method known for eradi-

When kits Are DANGEROUS

A Scotch Highlander, in the Walker
hospital. Fraserburgh, states that at
the battle of Loos his regiment and
several others of the Scottish division,
advanced to the attack with practi-
ca!ly nothing on them except their
shirts. The reason for so doing was
that, in getting TO the Germans wire
entanglements, their kits were torn to
pieces. and impeded their progress.
Another military patient at the hos
pital was one of the twelve men
blown into n dug-out by a shell ex-
plosion. The roof collapsed and en-
tombed them, and they lay there I'M
conscious for seven hours before their
comrades could effect their rescue.
