INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. How Successful Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. 5 oo MUk Dilution Separators. Newspaper Bulletin No. 77, Indiana Experiment Station: Within the past few months there has been introduced to the farmers of Indiana. what is termed a dilution’ cream separator. This is not a separator as commonly understood by dairymen, where cream is separated from milk by centrifugal force, but is a specially constructed can, usually of large size, in which cream separates from milk by rising to the surface, by the common gravity Process. The principle of creaming in this can, however, differs from that usually performed in the dairy, through the mixing of water with the milk to assist the cream to rise. These specially made cans have certain pe- culiarities of construction and are ad- vertised by the makers as “cream Separators.” The cans of different manufacturers differ in form and style, but the principal feature with all is to fill the can partly full of new warm milk and then at once add a large quantity of cold water. This of course dilutes the milk, perhaps 100 per cent. In this diluted condition, the claim of the manufacturers is, that the cream wil rise more completely and rapidly than if not diluted; that in 20 to 30 minutes it will all rest on the surface of the skimmed milk, which may be drawn off from below. In 1893 the Indiana Experiment Sta- tion for two weeks carried on an ex- periment on the influence of dilution of milk on efficiency of creaming. The results of this work, as published in bulletin 44 of the station, were that a@ greater loss of fat occurs in skim milk when dilution is practiced than with undiluted milk, that the loss is greater with cold than with warm water, and that by diluting the milk @ poorer quality of skim milk for feed- ing is thereby produced. These results were in accordance with conclusions arrived at through similar experiments at the Vermont,, Cornell, Illinois and Ontario college stations. The process of dilution was not to be recommended a@s a general practice. These so-called separators are pat- Feed up the poultry for moulting time. A well-fed flock will sometimes molt so easily that the process will be hardly noticed, and will even continue to drop a few eggs every day. It is often easy to get meat from the slaughter houses. When pigs or hogs are killed there are waste portions that may be cooked and kept for a few days. This will greatly stimulate the pro- duetion of new feathers and will cor- respondingly relieve the strain on the system. eee We notice in a poultry paper the ex- pression of the editor, “Never, never, never, feed soft messes of any kind.’ To us this appears a rather queer sug- gestion. It is queer in the light of modern experience, which seems to have demonstrated that the soft mess is a great boon to the poultry, espe- cially if they have been for months confined to a grain ration. Many of our most successful poultrymen feed soft food once a day the year round, and find it of great advantage. The writer of this always had trouble with indigestion in his fowls before he adopted the pian of giving the fowls a breakfast of cooked or scalded ground food. Since that time, a period of five years, no indigestion has ap- peared, and he attributes that fact en- tirely to the ‘fact that the whole-grain ration was in part supplanted by a food that required less work by the digestive organs of fowls. | eT SE eT The King Bird and the Poullryman. Don’t allow the small boy with the squirrel rifle to go into your groves and practice his marksmaaship on the King birds, says Wallace’s Farmer. The question is often asked what is the best method of destroying the hawks which prove such a hindrance to the poultry raiser. The success which you meet with in destroying the hawks will be nothing to brag about, it matters not what pian you may adopt to that end. The hawk is an exceedingly wary bird, and you will spend many weary hours trying to trap him, without success. But you can enter into an alliance with the King birds, and when the hawk comes stroll- ing your way in search of a dinner they will furnish him so much enter- tainment that he will forget what he came for. He will soon learn where @ pair of these audacious little fighters are on guard, and will avoid the local- ity in his flights. The King bird kills some bees, and for that reason every- body so minded think they have a license to slay them without mercy; GREY TOULOUSE GEESE.

The gos- lings are more hardy than the common variety and grow very rapidly, fre- quently weighing, when 4 or 5 weeks old, from six to eight pounds each, and at 3 months from fifteen to eight- een pounds. They require no food but pasturage, except in winter. Im color the geese and gander are alike, but voice than the goose. The quality of the flesh is good. On this page we show a pair of gray geese of this va- riety. aR nnn ented, and the Cornell Experiment Station at Ithaca, N. Y., has recently published a bulletin describing and il- lustrating eight forms of them, as de- seribed in the Patent Office Gazette. Persons interested may perhaps se- eure a copy of this bulletin on appli- cation. The farmers and dairymen of Indiana are advised mot to purchase ‘these cams. The price as a rule is ex- rbitant and the practice of dilution is undesirable. But if the farmer wishes to secure the same results ad- wertised by the makers of these cans, he may obtain them by diluting his milk in a comparatively inexpensive, round can, such as may be secured of any reputable dairy supply house, or can be made by any goad tinsmith. Such a ean, however, should have a faucet in the bottom, through which the skimmed milk may be drawn. In fact, if our farmers will set their milk undiluted in deep cans—say eighteen to twenty inches deep and eight in diameter—set in cold water or cold’ room, they will get more satisfac- tory returns than when set in shal- low pans or crocks.—C. 8. Plumb, Di- rector, About the Poultry Yard. The element of beauty should not be lost sight of in the breeding of poultry. Certainly the good-looking hen is not likely to lay any more egg3 than the unsightly one. Nevertheless, there is a real value in having a flock uniform in color and markings, and withal beautiful. The young especially are stimulated by the beauty of the fowls to take an {nterest in them.

' i t REASON’S WHY HORSES SHY. Humorous Explanation of Their Fear of f ‘Newspapers, ‘The mortal terror of newspapers to _Which even the most intelligent horse is a prey is certainly a mystery. Ifa horse meets a torn newspaper lying in the middle of the road he is seized with a conviction that it is on the point of tearing him to pieces, and accordingly he falls into a sprsm of terror. I presume that the scientific explanation of this fact is that the prehistoric horse was severely abused by the newspapers of the time, and that his descendants have thus inher- ited a horror of newspapers. But, like mosé scientific explanations of familiar mysteries, this would not be worth no- ticing. Why should the prehistoric newspapers have insulted the horse? Did the cave men lose their money on horse races and then write abusive let- ters to the newspapers, pointing out the untrustworthy character of the horse? It is very doubtful if they did anything of the sort, chiefly for the reason that newspapers did not exist in prehistoric times. To come back to the horse and his fear of newspapers. It may be said that the newspaper ter- rifles him because it moves in the wind and he thinks it is alive. But the leaves of trees move in the wind and the human boy moves with or without wind under the very hoofs of the horse, yet the horse is not afraid of these things. Clearly he is not afraid of a stray newspaper because it may be blown across his path. Moreover, he is as much afraid of a newspaper that does not move as he is of one which is in motion, The true exhibition of a horse’s fear of a newspaper is that in ‘the code of equine etiquette it is con- sidered good form to appear to be afraid of newspapers. All animals have their ideas as to what is good form and cling tenaciously to them. The dog does not bark at very young children, because it is contrary to canine eti- quette to do so. The cat, who is an inflexible stickler for good form, plays with a half-dead mouse merely because playing with half-dead mice is consid- ered among all cats of good breeding to be the correct thing to do. The horse, knowing that if he did not pre- tend to be frightened nearly out of his life by a newspaper he would be re- garded by all other horses as an ignor- ant and ill-bred ‘beast, shies whenever a newspaper flutters into his path.— Pearson’s Magazine. ONE WOMAN’S OCCUPATION. She Has 10,000 Frogs on Her Califor- nia Ranch. At Stege, a little station about twen- ty miles from San Francisco, a frog ranche is located, named after the first owner of the land roundabout. The Stege ranch extends from the bay shore up to the ridge of the coast range of mountains, which incloses both shores of San Francisco bay. In the lower portions of the ranch a great ‘number of spritigs gush out of the soil in co- pious volumes. It was the sprimgs that determined the first location of the ranch. The site, overlooking an ex- pansive view of the beautiful bay, was capable of vast improvement. A dozen acres, inclosing the springs, were sur- rounded with a hedge of cypress. The grounds were laid out with taste and soon presented the rare beauty inci- dent to the profuse vegetation of a semi-tropical climate. Three ponds were formed by confining the waters of the flowing springs, some acres in ex- ttent, and stocked with frogs. A fence high enough to prevent the escape of the inmates surrounded each, and the ponds were filled with aquatic plants and mosses. Then hundreds of frogs were placed in the ponds, and from the original stock the increase has been Clever Way to Catch a Thief.

KEELEY’S FAVORITE. Minneapolis Institute Looked Upon With Favor by th Old Man. Minnesota can be proud of her rec- ord in many things. One thing in par- tcular has interested medical science of late years in relation to the climate of Minnesota. It is said by statisti- cians that the best results have been obtained from the Keeley Cure in Min- nesota, as compared with other states. Whether it is entirely the climatic con- ditions or the discipline, or whatever it is, the result is there to show for it- self. The Minneapolis Keeley Institute is located at the corner of Tenth street and Park avenue, a beautiful location, with an immense green lawn and beau- tiful shade trees. The Institute was formerly a young ladies’ seminary. The discipline is not too rigid, although it is not at all loose. The patients are controlled by the management from the time they enter, and, although ev- erything is done for their comfort and pleasure, they are protected so that they derive the full benefits of the treatment. The Institute is not a prison. Every man who takes treat- men there goes with the intention of observing the few, necessary, simple rules. If he does not observe the rules, or shows an unpleasant disposi- tion, he is discharged promptly. As soon as a man has become famil- jar with his surroundings he decides that he will enter heartily into the spirit of the thing. There are no bums or loafers found in the Minneapolis In- stitute. They are not desired. The av- erage run of patients at the Minneapo- lis Institute consists of doctors, law- yers, merchants, business men and some farmers. They form a pleasant, happy convention of good fellows, and thoroughly appreciate the benefits they derive from the Keeley Cure. Very, very few ever drink again. If they do drink, they do it wilfully. Imitators of the Keeley Cure prom- ise impossible things to lure the un- wary. There is no cure but the Keeley Cure.
