LOSS OF FAT IN SKIM MILK
Chief Cause Probably Is Speed of Bowl When Turned Too Slow Milk
 Does Not Skim Clean.
(clemson College Bulletin.)

NSlemSon college Bullet1n.)
 Every farmer who uses a separator to skim his milk should give close at- tention to see that he does not lose fat in the skim milk. A small percentage of fat going into the skim milk contin- uously means great loss for the year.
 If COW gives 5000 pounds of milk and four-tenths of 1 per cent is lost, 1t would mean for the year a loss of about $S per COW.
 There may be many causes to pro duce such loss. Probably the chief cause Is the speed of the bowl. If separator is turned too slowly, the milk does not skim clean and fat goes over into the skim milk. Another cause might be the temperature of the milk. For close skimming milk should be S5 degrees or above. Still another cause is an unbalanced bowl. See that the separator gets plenty of oil when running and do not neglect fl when 1t gets out of order.

SUCCESSFUL TRANsPLANTlNG

To successfully transplant, great deal of care is necessary. Observe these few important simple rules:
 If possible, choose a cloudy day for this work, or do it in the evening. Wa ter the plants so that the soil is thor oughly saturated; then lift the seed lings carefully with plenty of soil and gently separate the plants.
 With a sharp knife remove about two-thirds of the leaves and'stems and then puddle the roots. On no account should the sun reach the roots, even for moment.
 The holes should be ready to receive the plants. Fill them with water and set the plants firmly into the soil, pressing the soil carefully about the plants-drawing dry soil on top of the wet soil.
 If the sun shines shade the plants for few days.

VALUE OF IMPROVED ROADS
Value of Farm Increased by Ge,''"s Crops to Market Rapidly anu
 CheapIy as Possible.

The value of good roads is Deeom ,ss ing more and more recognizeu III sa United States every day. WISE .,.aed I point to the fact that tap-line raliita the spurs cannot be constructed in .n' ,a country for less than $75,ooo noid and that the cost of these must pc pa@ aar by the commodity transporieu them. nuch
 The good roads do not cost so thing .s and are just as efficient. Everysn1to to that makes it easier to get crops s,rm the market raises the vaiue astahls lands by making them more proN' to the farmer.

Too Busy for Court.

President Judge Thomas D..
Bailey ordered a continuance of
all civil cases listed for the first
week in May and partof the first
of the second week in the Hun
tingdon county court. This has
been done to enable farmers in
terested as suitors, jurors and
witnesses to continue their spring
work without interruption.
Judge Bailey remarked that
while ordinarily court procedures
should take preference over pri-
vate business it is more impor-
tant at this time that farmers
should be engaged in their work
every day possible in May.

The Life Of Army Camps.

AS soon as our new volunteer
or conscripted armies are mobil-
lied the problem comes up of the
kind of life they are going to
live in camps. The first thing to
be looked out for is their physical
comfort. They need good food,
well cooked, and plenty of it.
1t will pay to make the boys
comfortable. The less their hard
ships, the more willingly they
will do their bit.
The boys need pleasant recrea-
tions and some home life sur
roundings. They will be put
through some stirring physical
stunts, giving them perhaps all
the athletics they need. 1t may
not be necessary to organize
baseball and football leagues to
work off steam. But when the
days work is over, they need
pleasant recreation tents where
they can meet and form friend
ships and gain refreshment for
another day. A good line of
movie shows would do a lot to
relieve the tedium of this hard
working life.
The churches and Young Mems
Christian Association have a great
chance to provide wholesome ia
cilities here for recreation, so
that the boys will not be driven
by dullness to seek diversion in
harmful ways.
