TURN SEPARATORS TOO SLOW
Large Majority of Operators Lose
From Seven to Twelve Pounds of
Butter From Each Cow.

Extensive Investigations conducted
by Purdue experiment station and
others show that 10 out of 20 separa-
tor operators turn their machines too
slow and that every time they do they
lost from to IL pounds of butter per
cow per year. This serious loss many
times spells the difference between
success and failure in dairying.
Every kind of separator, to do eff
cient work, that is get the greatest
percentage of cream from the milk,
must be operated carefully in accord

COYOTE FRIGHTENS THE TOWN
Savage Animal Finally Driven Away
by School Children Unaware Of
Danger.

A gaunt gray coyote terrorized Por-
tola, Cal. 1t was first noticed when it
attacked two dogs at the residence of
Thomas Dorithy.
Mrs. J. Hardy, who was passing at
the time, narrowly escaped being bit
ten when the coyote broke away from
the dogs and attempted to attack her.
The dogs pulled it down again, how
ever, before it reached her.
During the recess period It appeared
at the schoolhouse, but the children
chased it in body and frightened it
away They were not aware of the
real danger.
A number of hunters are securing
the hills close to town in an endeavor
to locate and kill the coyote.

BUYING NEW COWS FOR DAIRY
Those From Farmers Who Practice
Rational Methods of Feeding Are
Always Preferable.

In buying new COWS for the dairy
one should buy from farmers who
practice rational methods of feeding,
preferably from those who do not
feed calves In stanchions. The feed
should not consist of too much grain
and rich concentrates.
Many COWS have been fed 80 much
grain that they have lost their capac

CHARLIE CHAPLIN AND OTHERS.

Charlie Chaplin, the idol of the
movie audiences, is also worshipped of
the movie managers. Because the peo-
pie want him, the managers must have
him. And that they must have him
at any price, the reported closing of a
contract with him for the enormous
pay of 100000 during the coming
year is ample evidence. The contract
is, of course, for one year only. Even
movie managers could not make such
terms for contract covering a series
of years.
But what of that? AS the case
stands, Charlie Chaplin will draw in
that one year, if this report is true,
enough to pay him twice the amount
of money which will be paid to Mr..
Wilson during the term Of the four
year contract between him and the
United States. And, as things look
now, Charlie Chaplin is more likely to
have his contract renewed at the end
of the designated time than is the
president.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

THRIFT IS SELF DENIAL.

Generally speaking, thrift is not
born with US, nor is it thrust upon us;
it is, in the great majority of cases, a
matter of delicate and intentional &C
quirement by means Of sclf-imposed
obligation, with a definite purpose in
view. And withal, to reach the maxi
mum effective accomplishment there
must be a penalty which gently, but
firmly and constantly, insists upon the
regular observance of all those factors
which contribute to the ultimate sue
cess. Certain self-derials are made to
effect saving and meet the payments
as arranged. The result is distinct
gain, if the debt was properly in
curred.-The Guardian.
