WATCH DETAILS
TO OBTAIN EGGS
When using a cream separator on
the farm the following precepts should
be observed:
1. Put the separator In a bright
dairy room thut can he easily cleaned
and that Is always free from odors of
all kinds.
2 Set the machine perfectly level
and holt It to a solid foundation, pref
erably concrete.
3. 011 thoroughly each time It Is
used.
4. Be sure that the parts are prop
erly assembled, then sta rt the ma
. chine gently and slowly.
5. Maintain the proper speed and
keep an even pressure ou the handle
at all times.
fl. When separation is completed
flush the howl with a quart of skim
milk or warm water, hut do not let
skim milk or w ater run Into the crenm
7. Having set the cream Into cold
w ater and disposed of the skim milk
take the bowl ap art and rinse with
lukewarm w ater.
8. Using hot w ater, washing powder
and brushes, scrub ull parts that coine
In contact with the milk.
9. Rinse with hot w ater, then place
In boiling w ater or steam sterilizer for
a few minutes and hang up to dry.
19. Wipe fram e of separator.
The necessity for thoroughly clean
ing and scalding the separator every
time It Is used cannot lie too grently
emphasized, t ream from an unclean
separator has very poor keeping quali
ties. soon develops a decided “off flu-
vor" and becomes second grade
Cream of this kind brings financial
loss to the purchaser w hether he Is
selling It on a quality basis or not.
Poor crenm makes poor b u tter and
poor butter returns a low price to the
producer, w hether cream ery Is co
operative or otherwise.
The financial loss caused by unclean
separators is frequently not fully ap
preciated because it Is In d irect; It Is.
however, none the less real, flood

therefore, demands that the separator
he thoroughly cleaned each time It is
used.—W. H. Woodley. College of Ag
riculture. University of Arkansas.
A ttention to a few details Is often
the deciding factor lu making profits
in the poultry business.
“For Instance,** continues L. M.
Black, New Jersey extension special
ist iu poultry, "If good results in egg
production are to be expected during
cold w eather, It Is quite Im portant
that the pullets be confined to the lay
ing houses. Cold wintry blasts aud
frozen ground are not conducive to
high egg yields,
"Allow each bird four square feet
of floor space In a well-ventilated
house, and furnish a good ration con
taining plenty of green feed.
The
birds will respond by lining the egg
basket with u high-priced product.
"A nother detail Is the buying of
baby chicks for next spring's delivery.
‘Do it early' Is u good slogan, ami Its
observance may save a disappoint
ment. Many a poultrym an lias been
forced to accept chicks batched later
than lie desired ju st because he did
not place his order with his hatchery
man at an early date.
"The thoughtful poultrymen also de
term ine now w hether or not their In
cuhators and brooder stoves are in
readiness fur the coming hatching sea
son. N o w Is the time to Inspect tills
equipm ent carefully and older any
necessary parts that will increase the
possibilities of a successful season.

It may even be udvlsahle to set up the
machines and brooders und run a short
test nn them. Above ull. do not neg
lect them until the Inst moment and
aw ake to find yourself unprepared to
sta rt off at the opening of the hutch

Veal of Prime Quality
Result of Suckling Calf
Veal of the prim est quality Is the re-
suit of |>ermlttlhg the calves to suckle
their dams, In which event It Is neces
sary to allow them to have all the new
milk they will consume, und often It
Is necessary to supply an additional
nurse cow or else perm it the calf to
nurse his dam and partake In addition
ull the whole milk supply from other
sources.
The uddlllon of grain to the ration
would really convert the product Into
beef rather thHii veal, for generally
teal Is the outcome of feeding calves
exclusively on new milk. Much of the
meat that is sold for veal Is obtained
from anim als that have been fed some
grain, but It Is not dlfllcult to realize
the distinction If you have opportunity
to compare the two products. Hence,
your calf that Is nine mouths old must
be fed for beef rath er than veal, for
the prime veal calves run around 175
to 200 pounds.
