Great Britain is Considerably
Worried over the Matter of
Tonnage Scarcity.

LONDON, Jan. 14-The question
Of tonnage for carrying the oversee
trade and particularly the growing
scarcity OF tonnage under the Brit
ish mercantile flag is causing a great
deal of anxiety. A week or two ago.
an unofficial announcement was made
that work might be resumed on mer-
camille shipbuilding in various yards
Of Great Britain, but so far as Off
clal confirmation has been received
and from the meagre reports regard
ing government orders in several
yards It seems that there is very lit
tie likelihood of transference Of any
quantity of workmen from govern
ment to private contracts in the near
future.
AS about one-fifth of the total mer-
camille tonnage of the country Is
Communicated for admiralty purpos-
es, and during the four weeks ending
December s. forty-nine vessels were
sunk, In addition to the already large
losses, it will be seen that there is
only comparatively small margin OF
boats left for carrying the country's
trade.
In addition, the cost of the few YES
sells now being completed has increas-
ed considerably since the original
contracts were placed, owing to the
continued rise in prices of raw ma
terial, the difficulty Of transporting
the material, and higher wages de-
manded by workmen.
Neutral countries have not been
slow in taking advantage Of these
conditions and are placing orders for
boats in most available yards, as well
as buying up second hand tonnage at
increasing prices.
The way in which the government
Is handling the shipping question has
caused much adverse criticism from
ship owners for some time. past and
these were emphasized in the House
of Commons recently by several
shipping members. One deprecated

VALUE OF CREAM SEPARATOR
lege Says rs Per Cent More
Cream Secured From Milk.

1.-THE farmer who uses a cream sep
arator obtains as much milk from four
COWS as is obtained from five COWS
where cream is raised in pam says
G. H. Eckles of the Missouri College
Of Agriculture. The separator method
gets rs per cent more cream from the
milk and this will pay for separator
in year in a 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 if the
cream is raised by gravity. The use
of a 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, instead of nu-
merous pans and crooks, are returned
to the kitchen for washing 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 it is put
into service twice day. The separa-
tor should run from four to six years
without repairs, IL reasonable care is
used.

removal of her milk product as often
as seems necessary, or shall we dry
her down to suit our convenience in
milking?
AS our population and the cost of
food products increases, milk as one
of the most valuable of food products
will also increase in price, and in the
near future it will be as customary
for dairymen to milk cows three times
day during the earlier portion of
the lactation period as it is now to
milk but twice. Indeed, owing to the
wonderful milk-producing qualities of
Holstein-Friesian cows, in order to
avoid congestion of the udder it is the
common practice among those having

Practice of Watering Herd But Once
Daily Is Not to Be Recommended
Three Times Is Better.

It Is a mistake to be satisfied with
watering the herd but once day. If
they can be induced to drink twice or
three times day, 1t should be done.
Cows need much water.
1t has been found that the average
mich COW requires about 81 pounds
of water day while in milk (nearly
ten gallons), and about 81 pounds
while dry. or this, the COW in milk
takes rather more than two-thirds
(say seven gallons) as drink, and the
rest in her food, while the dry cow
takes rather less than two-thirds as
drink, and little more than one-third
in the food.
