RIGHT SPEED OF SEPARATOR
If Bowl Does Not Travel at Proper
Speed inefficient skimnino. viii
Be the Result.

The speed at which the cream sep
arator is operated is a matter of Inn
portance. If the bowl does not travel
at the proper rate of speed, inefficient
skimming will be the result. too much
butterfat being left in the skim milk.
A decrease in the speed of the ma
chine will cause a decrease in the fat
test Of the cream, while running the
machine too fast will cause an In
crease. Care should be taken to OPP
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 relt-
able Indicator or a watch.

flled by more profitable animals, ac-
cording to a report made to the dairy
division, United States Department Of
Agriculture. This averages nearly 81

New Hampshire associations some not

age Increase per COW of 763 pounds Of
milk annually, and an increase of
S49.30 in the income over cost Of feed.
In six associations that have been at
work for three years, six herds Sc
cured an increase of 866 pounds in
the milk yield per COW, and an income
over cost of feed of $9S.31 more than
the herds formerly averaged.
In general, cow-testing association
work in New Hampshire is on a good,
sound basis, the department says. AS
sociation members are studying indi-
vidual COW records, the ability Of pure
bred bulls to increase production, wise
feeding practices, and the proper rails
ing of young stock. The influence of
these studies is affecting even dairy
men who are not members Of the asso-
Citations.

Laurel. Sept. david Bushsw,
aged Sc years a retired farmer, shot
and killed himself at the home Of his
daughter. Mrs. Lille Kitchens. in
Laurel. this morning about IL o'clock.
Mr.. Bushaw had made several previ-
Gus attempts TO take his life, but each
time was stopped before he could do
so. 1t is believed that despondency
over his wife's death was the cause of
his suicidal purpose, as he had on
several occasions expressed a desire to
die in order that ne might join his
wife.
Three weeks ago Mr.. Bushaw left
home, saying he was going to kill
himself. Posses secured the county
but could find no trace of him. About
three days later he returned, but
would give no explanation regarding
his absence. He once tried to cut his
throat with a razor, but was stopped
and since then a careful watch had
been kept on his actions.
About 1890 o'clock this morning
Mr.. Bushaw went up TO his room,
presumably to take a nap. and about
half hour later, Mrs. Kitchens vas
startled by hearing a shot, and on
going into Mr.. Bushaw's room, found
him lying on the floor with revolver
clasped in his hand. He died before
doctors could be summoned.
The deceased is survived by four
children, Mrs. Kitchens and Miss

Washington. Sept. 1.-President
Harding, speaking today at the OPEN
ing of the fall term of the Army War
College, declared that mo matter
where the best aspirations of the world
lead US, there never may be a time
without the necessity for armed
forces"
The President in his brief address,
however. pledged the 200 officers in
his audience. that during his adj
ministration they would never be call
ed to perform military service they
could not enter into with all their
heart and soul as Amercans."
Referring to the situation in the
West Virginia coal fields, the Presi-
dent declared: I'VE ought not to
have a conflict like that which is going
on in West Virginia. 1t is due to lack
OF understanding
Mr.. Harding said there were two
relative essentials to the civilization
TO which we all. aspire; one is an
understanding among men at home
and the other an understanding be-
tween nations"
The President expressed the belief
that the time was coming when the
burdens of armament" could be di-
i1inished.
u wish with all my heart he add
ed, that there will be less of armies
end navies."
Declaring that through 1900 years
of Pagan history and 1000 years of
Christian civilization the world only
lately had come to civilized state of
armed warfare. The President re-
iterated that he thought it perfectly
futile to think there never may be
armed conflict.
We of America, without unneces-
sary bcasting," he continued, have
come nearer to civilized warfare than
any nation
The President declared "the trouble
with the world today is that there are
too many theorists who know nothing
of actualities." Whoever" he added,
brings practical experience into play
with theory viii make a real contri-
button to progress"
The President was accompanied to
the War College by Secretary Weeks
and General Pershing, chief of staff,
each of whom made brief address.
