A Separator Experience e have been making and selling Iter for several years. We used to the old crock system. First we fed one of the cheap water dilution larators, then got one of the regu lion centrifugal separators. We act- fly made four pounds of butter more first week we used the centrifugal fcarator than we had been making Ih the water dilution separator: We e our butter engaged to private lilies at 25 cents a pound the year bund and we cannot supply the de- knd. Our cows are Jerseys. Our ihod of making the butter is about same as others, but we find our market and then try to please customers.

Successors o o 0 imenter, and laughed at, his theories. It was in 1900 that the fiarmers first began to regard Prof. Bolley and his ideas seriously. Then a few of the more progressive and wealthy ones, who owned large tracts of land aud felt that they could afford to experi ment, decided to test his prescription for wheat smut. This was the first time the treatment had been tried on an extensive scale by practical agri culturists, and the experiments proved to be remarkably successful. The far mers suddenly awoke to the fact that there was much to be gained by the scientific treatment of plant diseases. James Linn Nash, in The World Today for December. Girls as Farm Hands "The shortage of labor in the north west this year," said a visitor to the department of agriculture, last week, "brought about some peculiar condi tions. During the harvest time many farmers found it" impossible to pro cure htlp, and often they had to call upon the female members of their families to go into the fields. I was paying a visit to a brother in Minne sota, and ascertained that he was utilizing the services of his two daugh ters, refined and educated young wo men, without whom it would have been impossible to save the wheat crop. The girls had never done any rough work before, but they fell to with cheerful alacrity, and did as clev er work as any men on the place. This sort of thing was of frequent oc currence in the wheat belt, and the women proved themselves real heroines." Poultry Notes Get rid of the cockerels that are not promising before winter. Bone meal, wheat, oats and cracked corn are good rations for feeding poultry. Small potatoes that are not salable make a splendid poultry food for winter. A strict account should be kept with the fowls. In no other manner can business be transacted, as every item of profit and loss should be known. Charge up the family also for eggs and birds used on table, keep an ac count and mark down what eggs are worth a dozen, the day they are used, and also every pound of birds used. Hens should get plenty of lime in thdr food that there may be no soft shelled eggs. In shipping .poultry to market caret should be taken to see that there are no blood spots on the carcasses. Oats stand very high as a, feed, but owing to the large proportion of Indi g( stiblc husk, it must take second place in the list of grains. One of the greatest mistakes with beginners "is the tendency to crowd fifty fowls into a place where there Is room for only twenty. The most important point to be ob serve! in keeping fowls in confine ment is to keep them industriously at work. This is the key to aticess in the management of poultry. Buy the best stock, and even if it Is only a trio, start rislit, grow into the business gradually, profiting by experience and do not refuse the prof fered advice of old timers in the business.
