#5 (IARDEN SAVING The principal advantages of the farm separator to the patron of the Creamery are increased value of skimmilk, saving of cost in hauling he dairy products, less expense in making up the butter, a smaller and less expensive creamery plant, and a possibility of a better butter product. I have named these advantages of the farm separtor in their value of im- portance, although there may be a Rreat many @xceptions to this\enum- eration. For instance, the lessening of the cost of delivering the dairy pro- ducts to wome distant creamery may be of greater value than the increas- ed value of the skimmilk, and there may be other conditions that would change the order of the advantages , Of the farm separator. Users of the ‘farina separator find one of their greatest advantages in having the warm, sweet skimmilk, fresh from the cow, for calves, pigs and other feeding purposes, With sep- arator skimmilk there _ is no scouring other digestive troubles with the calves, and this one point is not ful- ly appreciated, for this trouble im- pairs the future usefulness of our ca more than we think. Where patrons deliver whole milk at the creamery it will cost them on the average about eight cents per one hundredweight for hauling With a herd of twenty cows, giving one hundred thousand pounds of milk an- nually, means a cost of eighty doll got it delivered at the deliv it usu- cent per means 1ousand poundg of or four 1g I f butter fat, that the will y saving six‘y the amery him- ¥ DAIRY VALUES, or ttle this Lili s to creamery, In ering cream one half fat ally costs out a which 0 pound of with one milk thou utter hundred t! texting cent, and COst of cr dollars, and often hauls very the cream becauge h ia man sel free of oa reach ou from { and haul fat to rr quantit the what he and of his si 11s IR Cultivator FARM NEEDS oftent. mes THE SHEEP. of as wise Sheep are spoken a land ing gr 1 worn-out farm fertility con nuisance by some people, but them credit ag be- | of rundown or call them ow give ners eal renovators and STvVers, 18 even the latter and more, too. habits make conservers of fertility, it where most an opportunity averse to water an elevation for their resting place, they do like the | succulent growth, even though it weeds found in the lowland of a field or which has by the washings from the higher sur rounding land They are The them distribut needed, if Though sheep and life and of sheep not only f rs given i brat of are always seek he pasture been season, with marked effect. hen manure go to waste!

An excellent trough for feeding grain to poultry 1s made in the regu- lation V shape, except that the bot- tom board is about threes inches wide on the Inside, thus giving a chance to clean it thoroughly. This trough is long enough so that there is room for every bird on one side or the other, If the flock is large, have a number of troughs. There are always some fowls in a flock who will fight harder for food than others, but will not be a bit greedy if there Is room enough for all. We arrange smaller troughs for the soft food; they are really boxes with the gides flaring out and with a broad board at the bot tom so that they are not easily tip ped over, They are about eight inches high, The mash is put in these boxes and after the fowls have finished the boxes are removed, washed out and set in the sun to dry or in season when there is little sun they are wip ed dry, This keeps them clean and prevents any musty food from accum ulating in the corners. Water ves sels are also supplied in sufficient in take winter warming off the chill. week these vessels scalded and then dried.

Interests ore” Medical Profession By President Eliot, of Harvard. HE future occupations and Interests of the medical profession are to be In some respects different from those of the past, and they are to be more various. The ordinary physician has for the lagt hundred years been almost exclusively a man devoted to the treatment of diseases already developed in human bodies or of injuries already incurred. He made his diagnosis, and then sought remedies and a cure, He was the sympathetic and skil ful helper of sick or injured persons. Most of the cases that came under hi# care were cases considered plain as to symptoms, period and accepted treat ment, The minority of cases were obscure, and called for unusual knowl edge and skill in discerning the seat of the disorder, or the approximate cause of the bodily disturbance. Hence the special value of the experienced consult ant, who was ordinarily a man of some peculiar natural gift of body, mind or temperament, possessing also In high degree the faculty of keen observation and the habit of eliminating irrelevant considerations, and ultimately finding his. way to the accurate, limited Inference from the facts before him, Both the ordinary physician and the consultant have already been much helped by the extraordinary progress made in medical sclence during the last thirty years, but they have been helped chiefly to a surer recognition of diseases es tablished in human bodies, and to a better treatment of their patients’ dis eases when recognized, The physician or surgeon commonly renders a personal service to dividual, sometimes for a nec unifary recompense, hut often without compensation. He is often a trusted adviser in the most intimate fam cerns. Birthg and death alike bring the physician into the home.

WOMEN RIDING ASTRIDE. The custom of fashionable women riding horseback astride is so grow. ing In England that it can be pre dicted that it will be the rule instead of the exception in a very few years, and that it will attract no more re mark than the custom of women bley. cling. The practice id already often followed by society women in Rot. ten Row, the fashionable riding place in Hyde Park, London, Among the prominent women who ride in this fashion are Viscountess Castlereagh, the Dutchess of West: minster and the young daughter of the Duchess of Sutherland. Thelr present the neatest appearance. Seen from some points of view it can hardly be realized that they are not using a side saddle The chief opposition to the custom comes from the teachers of horseman. 5 ship, who find the new style much casier taught.
