ANIMALS MUST BE
KEPT COMFORTABLE.
Animal Is Finely Adjusted, Com
plicated Organism Requiring
Closest Attention.

The dairy COW Ii finely adjusted,
complicated organism that Ia subject
to considerable degree TO external In.
fiuences. The highest production OF
butterfat is produced when the COW Ii
In comfortable quarters, and the body
tissues are normal. These facts are
present usually during the opening OF
the summer when the grass IL In good
condition. AT that time the tempera-
ture is just about right and there ID an
absence of flies and vermin, which
tend to irritate the COW. In conjunction
with this the grass Ia most paiatable,
all of which contribute toward con-
tentment In the dairy COW, and az a
reward she produces very large dow
of millH
During the winter conditions are
usually the reverse and abnormal con-
ditions are brought about. Then an ar.
tificial temperature Ia required to
maintain the bodily heat and keep the
COW comfortable. When the COW Ia
turned out to shiver In the cold. con-
siderable combustion is required in
the body to maintain the animals tenn
perature.
II a COW Is in warm quarters she will
have this food supply available. and
consequently she will produce great.
er amount Of butterfat. II Is also pos
sible to feed more economically In the
barn. and there is less turmoil to an
noy the animals when they are com.
fortably housed and In stalls, than
when they are turned out at night.
The dairy COW can eat hay at leisure
and will not be required to expend en-
ergy in self-preservation, which en-
ergy should be devoted to the produc-
ton OF milk.

A motor-driven machine for clean
ing and grading fruit, that has just
been brought out in Oregon, is ca
pable of handling apples, peaches,
pears, oranges and lemons, and OF dis
tributing them into ten grades at the
rate Of over 1900 pieces an hour.
The fru:: is first fed into the cleaner,
where 1t is thoroughly cleaned by
revolving brushes made of hog bris-
ties, and from this machine 1t passes
automatically to the grader. The
grader Is built in circular form and
occupies a space about thirteen feet
in diameter, the outer part consisting
OF sloping table which lis divided
radially into bins for receiving the
different sizes of fruit as II is graded
The center OF the machine liz occupied
by revolving plate, on which are "a
cups. each OF which, as 1t passes I'M
der the discharging apron of the clean
the point where the fruit fs received
the cup is practically closed at the
bottom. The opening at the bottom
Of the cup is controlled by two cam
rails in such way that it gradually
widens as the cup swings round the
circle, and at point over the proper
bin this opening becomes large enough
to allow the fruit to drop. The cups
and other parts OF the machine with
which the fruit comes In contact are
lined with felt SO that there liz no
danger that the fruit will be bruised
during either the cleaning or grading
process. The machine is intended to
be driven by an electric motor or
gasoline engine.-Popuiar Mechanics

In the case OF whip grating, or
splice grating. as 1t is sometimes
called, the scions are cut late In the
fall or very early in the spring from
healthy growing wood. the same as
for cleft grating. The scions should
not be cut when they are frozen. and
IL not cut until March should be ex-
amined to make sure that none are
blackened or injured by winter freez-
ing. Use no soft wood or green, i'm
mature growth for scions.
Scions are cut five or six inches
long and kept In a cool, moist place
until grating IL done. IL grated to
root stock, the work can be done early
in the cellar and the planting done
1t is better Ii the stock liz OF the same
size as the scion, but IL OF slightly diff
ferent size, one side should be matched
carefully, the inner bark Of scion and
stock coming together. II both are of
the same size the inner bark will
come together and unite better all
around the cut. The graft il planted
SO that the first bud liz just above
ground.
When ready for grating, smooth
cuts are made diagonally across both
scion and stock, and tongue and
groove or notch made as shown in the
cut. The union is then made with
care, and the graftage held in place
by strong thread or twine and pro-
lection OF wax or waxed cloth put
around it. Root gratis are planted
with no protection about the splice, 1t
being simply held in place by Irvine or
thread.
When root grating Is done In the
winter, the gratis should be packed In
moist sand or sawdust and kept from
drying out, but not disturbed until
time to plant in the spring. as they
will have begun to cailus and to unite
in some degree. 1t Is well to handle
them carefully. Two or three buds
are enough to leave on the scion,
which can be cut back later, as de-
sired. The only tool required for whip
grating is a sharp. thin-bladed knife.
1t is well to disinfect all wounds and
pruning tools.

SOME DIFFICULTIES
FOUND In CHURNING
Expert of State College of Wash
inQton Gives Five Factors as
Cause of Trouble.

Difficult churning may be caused
by one or more Of the following fac.
tors, says Nystrom In q bulletin is-
sued by the State College of Wash
ington:
/. The cream may be too sweet. In
which case foaming occurs, resulting
in insufficient concussion.
2. Cream may be too cold. In which
case the fat globules are too hard to
stick together.
3. Cream from stripper cows or
from cows fed dry feeds exclusively,
contain hard fat globules which do
not stick together readily.
4. Thin cream containing too much
milk does not allow the fat particles
to coalesce.
s. Improper agitation, either too
fast or too slow.
