DEVICE TO SEPARATE CREAM
Machine Will Often Pay for Itself in
One Year, Much Depending on
Number of Cows Kept.

The cream separator is a mechani-
cal device for separating the cream
from the milk, almost instantaneously
by centrifugal force. It's advantages
over the old methods of separation
are:
l. 1t takes practically all the but
ter fat and will save from five to ten
dollars per COW each year over any
methods.
2. Skim milk has it's greatest feed
ing value while warm, clean and
sweet.
3. The labor connected with the
care of the milk can be decreased
and the profits from the cows greatly
increased because a better quality Of
cream can be obtained.
A cream separator is an invest
ment and not an expense to anyone
who keeps five or six good cows, and
wants to make butter or sell cream.
A separator will often pay for itself
in one year, often in less time, ac-
cording to the number of COWS kept.
With proper care and attention, a
cream separator will last decade.

the sides of the doorway and to place
around the ba~e of the framework. An
old mop handle, rake and hoe handles,
broom handles, clothes poles, rug
pole, curtain poles, wornout shade roll
ers, any of these will do for the
framework. Broom handles and other
short pieces can be spliced end to end,
by binding stick splints to opposite
sides with string Gig. 81. In addition
to the poles, you will need a barrel
hoop for the framework of each win
dow opening, and another for the
arched top of the doorway.

framework by mailing uprights A to

hut, and how the framework of each

before putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Girls and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid complex
ions, also those who wake up with a
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath
others who are bothered with head
aches, bilious spells, acid stomach or
constipation should begin this phos-
plated hot water drinking and are as
sured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin
on the outside, SO hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the inside or
gans. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
Women who desire to enhance the
beauty of their complexion should just
try this for a week and notice results.

tests showing that from nine to fifty
per cent increases have been made by
better feeding and care.
The answer, of course, depends a
great deal on previous feeding and
care, but it is not an important ques-
ton.
The important thing is that we know
positively that by better feeding and
care better breeding and selection the
production can be increased very
largely and very proftably. 1t doesn't
matter what form of effort gets the
credit, the result is what we want.

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
lions and poisonous toxins before it is
absorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind certain
amount of incombustible material in
the form Of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs a certain amount Of
indigestible material, which If not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow Of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate
in it, which is a harmless means of
washing the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,

MILK ONLY WITH DRY HANDS
Habit and Liable to Cause Cows
Teats to Chap.

Mixers should be allowed to milk
only with dry hands. The practice Of
wetting the hands with milk is filthy
habit and is liable to cause the cows
teats to chap in the winter time.
Milking should be done quickly and
thoroughly, with no violent jerking Of
the teats.
After each COW is MIXED the milk
should be removed Immediately to the
milk house.

school conditions in South Carolina
Mr.. Brown assumed the duties of this
office July 1, 1915, and since that time
has visited each OF the 174 mill
schools in the state.
Many Of them have voted special
tax levies Tor additional teaching force
and maintenance, and considerable
number have voted bond issues for
modernly equipped buildings. In addi.
,tion to this, scores Of night schools
have been conducted in mill villages,
which have been q powerful factor in
creating sentiment for better day
school attendance by the children,
and equally influential in encouraging
patrons to invoke the compulsory fea.

Work for special tax levies and bond

territory is covered in an automobile
