A e b A i e > TP ADVERTISEMENTS Has self-centering bowl; detached spindle % Every De Laval equipped with Bell Speed-Indicator § CREAM SEPARATOR HESE are the days when you are getting more milk in the pail, and with butter-fat at its present high price you want to be dead sure that you are getting all the cream out of the pail. You certainly can’t afford to feed butter-fat to the calves and pigs at from 30 to 40 cents a pound. All sorts of “‘claims’’ are made for various cream separators, but what you are loaking for is ‘*proof.” v Here is the most convincing kind of proof that the De Laval is the cleanest skimming machine: Fifteen years ago there were a dozen different makes of creamery or factory separators in use. Today the creamerymen and large milk plants the world over . use the De Laval almost exclusively. In fact, it’s hard to find a large cream producer or creameryman who willallow any separator . other than a De Laval in his plant, no matter what the price. Why?" Because they have found that it makes a difference of several thousand . dollars a year to them:whether a De + Laval or some other make of machine is used. They simply can’t afford to use any other machine. This is proof of De Laval closer skim- ming that you can't afford to ignore. Even if you don’t separate as much * cream’as the creameryman, you can't " afford to waste it any more than he can. Your local De Laval agent will be glad to let you try out a New De Laval on your owa place.

Flax Offers a Chance for Proflt (Continued from page 10) _particularly for the farmeér who would like to recognize each fiartxcular crop as a standard crop, whxch may be re- lied upon to aid him m hxs farming processes. The average American farmer does not like to'gamble on con- ditions. He likes to grow a crop and prides himself on how well he can do it, but he is too sensible to think much of a crop that doesn’t pay for the work, or much of the men whe fix it so that the crop can not be relied upon, even though the demand:‘in !the country :during- the entire year wlll far exceed the output of seed. FLAX FIBER PAYS. WELL AT PRESENT Just at the present: t.une the fiber .side of the flax crop beging to show ‘'symptoms of being. of yuge:to -the pub- lic. There are many,:by-products of value being made from.the common threshed straw, that is; the straw that .comes from the threshing machine, so that many hundreds of farmers.in the Northwest last .year sold their straw -at varying prices from four dollars to - seven dollars- a ton. This helped the crop in part to pay them for the grow- ing. .No doubt these insulation boards and coarse rugs and paper pulps’ first ‘trial will gradually develop into more extensive industries, - and when they ‘need a higher quality of fiber than that which is now being produced, I feel justified in saying that the north- western farmers will- be :able to pro- duce that fiber. R ATS STRAW AND SEED HAVE FOOD VALUE Just now the demand for food prod- ucts of all kinds, namely, wheat, oats, barley, rye, any of the cereals and small grains which will furnish food for shipping purposes are thé ones which are receiving the heaviest .at- tention. on the part of farmers and being called for by the public. How- ‘ever, it should be remembered that flax is not wholly lacking in its food and feed producing capacity. .The flax straw is used very largely now as feed for stock if not sold for tow and manu- facturing purposes. Flax seed is one of the most valpable and highly con- densed food stuffs. The seed is al- ready eaten as a portion f several cereal . breakfast foods, and in these ‘can be used to the extent of from 3 to- 10 per cent. Our people as yet have not appre- ciated the food value of this seed when properly mixed with wheat; 'barley and oafs, or other of the : cereal foods. However, it is not likely that it will ever he largely used in this way. ' One of its largest uses as a food producing plant rests in the faet that the oil cake or the oil meal ‘which constitutes approximately two-thirds of the seed output is the highest concentrated cat- tle food ‘in existence, that which is’ most: desirable for the production of milk . and dairy feeding purposes. FOURTEEN Previous to the wax‘ this oil cal\e or ofil meal almost all went to Denmark and, Holland. Now it does not go there and is being very generally used in the 'United States and is in my opinion at the present 'time, = according to its” market value, the cheapest of our cat= tle foods, cheaper even than bran and . middlings and other milled products, I believe it is wholly worth the atten= tion of our people and that their ate tention, particularly - the farmers’, should be continually called to the feeding value of - thxs by- -product of oil manufacture. NAVY BEANS- FOR ‘A. LATE CROP ‘Navy beans do best in a cool climate and a loam soil. ~ \June 115 2 good time ‘to plant. The land“should be frees from weeds which lessen the yield and make harvesting more difficult. They, ‘can be seeded with the grain drill, closing up enough holes 'so as to make the.rows 2 to 3 feet apart. The plants should be 2 to 4 inches apart-in the row. Two to three pecks of seed aras required per acre. The -cultivation should be shallow. The beans can be harvested by pulling and leaving in small piles. - Machines are made for harvesting beans. They can also be plowed out by running a plow shailow, In fair weather the beans can be threshed after laying in the piles a day or two. The beans can. be threshed with the ordinary threshing machine by replacing the concaves with ‘boards, It may be necessary to run the. sepae rator a little slower thian for grain. Bean straw has good feeding values The beans should. be -hand picked. bes fore marketed. —Agr Ex., Dept. N. Dy Agr. College, (P. O.).

Put in a few extra. acres of corn this year if possible. ‘It might ev en he ad- vvisable to plow up some poor vxeldmg timothy sod and plant it to corn. The fodder will yield as much food as the timothy would, and will: nrovide the grain crop in addmon The average yield of corn in- Minnesota is 1800 pounds of shelled corn as compared with 1,000 pounds of 'oats. , Thus an ‘acre of corn is worth an acre of timothy and nearly two acres of oats, either for animal or human food. Minnesota 23, Northwestern Dent and the Flints are all early and will provide early feed for hogs next fall,
