RIGHT SPEED OF SEPARATOR
II Bowl Does Not Travel at Proper
Speed inefficient Swimming Will
Be the Result.

The speed at which the cream sep
arator is operated is a matter of i'm
portance If the bowl does not travel
at the proper rate of speed, inefficient
Swimming will be the result, too much
butterfat being left in the skim milk.
A decrease in the speed of the ma
chine will cause decrease in the fat
test of the cream, while running the
machine too fast will cause an in
crease. Care should be taken to op-
crate the separator at the speed des-
ignated by the manufacturer. To be
sure that the machine is being run at
the correct speed the revolutions of
the crank should be timed by a reli'
able Indicator or watch.

Begone Dull Facts.

Two friendly little neighbors, aged
respectively Az and years, recently
seated themselves on the curbstone
near my windows for a religious dis
cussion. 1t seemed they had over
heard some grown-ups repeating a
recent prophecy of a certain sect as to
the imminent end of the world and
were greatly exercised at the report.
The elder child, fair-haired skeptic
from a northern state, scornfully de-
clared that he didn't believe the story;
but the swarthy, darkteyed little Texan
solemnly asserted: Eyes, it's true;
know it's true; fob this mo'nfn'
read it in nah Bible" The midget
doesn't know one letter of the alpha
bet from another but he refuses to be
pinned down to vulgar facts when his
spirit wishes to soar. Are children
of the period brighter than their pred
ecessors? At his age l am sure 1
could not have fibbed with so solemn
and convincing an air.-Los Angeles

In six associations that have been at

cured an increase of S66 pounds in

In general, cow-testing association
work in New Hampshire is on a good,
sound basis. the department says. AS
ISOLATION members are studying indi-

feeding practices, and the proper rails

these studies is affecting even dairy

MaIiunant Ghost.

Last Christmas, house in Leeds
was visited by an amazing ghost.
A woman, returning home. went into
the kitchen TO warm herself at the
fire. Suddenly she was startled to see
two long white arms emerge from the
flames. Nearer and nearer they came.
until they gripped her arms above the
elbow.
The touch was like red hot iron. and
she fell fainting to the ground. When
she recovered she was surprised to
find that there had been no fire in the
crate. She visited a doctor. who ex-
amined her arms and found distinct
signs of burns. This was afterward
corroborated by another doctor.-Lon-

Atlantic Gulf Turns Strong

The shorts in Atlantic Gulf were
given q squeeze yesterday when the
stock ran from 365s up to Al. AL
though there was considerable profit
taking before the close of the last sale
at 393s still showed a net gain of more
than points. Atlantic Gulf directors
are scheduled to meet on Thursday and
the general expectation is that no ac-
ton will be taken on the preferred
dividend. The quarterly distribution
of ~ per cent was postponed in Feb
ruary for sixty days because the COM
pany was unable to arrange new
financing. This situation has not
changed, although oil production has
shown an increase not looked for. The
money coming in from that source and
efforts being made by the management
to sell two of the company's tankers
may provide enough funds to eliminate
the necessity of new financing. This
development was regarded yesterday
as bullish factor on the stock and
was offered as an explanation for the
display of strength

Hayden Answers Union CHARGES

Regarding charges presented to the
Railroad Labor Board, by the railway
unions that the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific, along with other roads. had
issued fictitious securities to the value
of more than s6oo,ooo,ooo between 1910
and 1919, Charles Hayden, chairman of
the board of directors, said yesterday
"All the securities issued by the Rock
Island in recent years have been ap-
proved by the Public Utilities Commits
sion of Illinois, the United States Dis
trlct Court at Chicago, or by the In
terstate Commerce Commission. The
latter in 1914 and 1915 investigated all
the Rock Island transactions and all
the commissions suggestions and rul-
lngs have been carried out by the COM
pany. While we do not see that these
wild statements before the Railway
Labor Board are relevant to the matte r
before it we hope the board will in
vestigate the accuracy of such state
ments, and the more the board investi-
gates the better we will like it.'

Bethlehem Statement Awaited

Bethlehem Steel Corporation on earn

is being awaited with almost as much
interest as that of the Steel Corpora
tion. Preliminary forecasts give the
impression that the company has
earned its full dividend requirements,
in contrast to the experience of some

is based on the report that shipbuild-
ing operations have proved sufficiently
profitable to make up for losses in
