SEPARATORS HAVE PRUNING CAREFULLY MANY ADVANTAGES ALWAYS PAYS BEST It Is practically Impossible ta produce cream of good quality for but ter making without a cream separator, say the dairy specialists of Clemsoo college, who give below some points on the type of machine to buy and some of the advantages of a separator. In purchasing a separator, the tlrst consideration la to select a standard make, that Is, a machine manufactured, sold and guaranteed by a reliable com pany which makes separators for use rather than for sales purposes. The stundard machines are constructed on sound mechanical principles and are made of good material. When a machine sells for a very low price It Is usually because of cheap materials and poor workmanship. These types are short lived, us the ma terials from which they are con structed are low grade and soon wear enough to cause considerable loss of butterfat In the skim milk. This loss will increase as the use of this type of separator is continued. The loss in butterfat because of poor separation, I f saved, would pay the difference In price in a few weeks. Standard separator companies main tain a service In communities where their separators are in use, and are alwuys glad to keep their machines In good repair and efficient running order. I f a farmer Is not acquainted with standard makes of separators, he should consult his creamery manager before making a purchase. The advantages of the centrifugal cream separation over the gravity or hand skimming-separatlon are as fol lows : 1. The range of temparature and condition of milk at which the cream can be successfully separated Is much greater than that for successful sep aration by the gravity method. 2. A much better quality of cream can be obtained, us the separation can be done before the milk gets old, while by the hand-sklmmlng method the time required for efficient sepa ration is so long that the cream de teriorates somewhat before It Is re moved from the milk. 3. As much as one-fourth of the butterfat Is often lost by the gravity method, while an efficient cream sep arator will not lose more than one- hundredth of 1 per cent In the skim milk. 4. The thickness of the cream can be regulated to suit requirements, while by the gravity method the thick est cream that can be obtained Is about 20 per cent butterfat. It is best to produce cream testing 35 to 40 per cent butterfat for shipment to the creamery. 5. Many Impurities and undesirable germs are removed, while hy the grav ity method exposure to impure air is likely to contaminate the milk with taints, and promotes the action of un desirable bacteria. 6. The skim milk Is left In a more natural condition, thus making It mors suitable for feeding purposes. A lfalfa Compared With Bran for the Dairy Cow "The hay produced from the aver age acre of alfalfa In Wisconsin has as much food value for dairy cows as three tons of hi an,” Is the opinion o f D. Gruber, ulfalfu specialist of the Wisconsin College of Agriculture. That the dairymen are realizing the ■oalue of alfalfa is evidenced by the large Increase In acreage devoted to alfalfa. In 1923 Wisconsin furmers raised 160,000 ncres. The 1924 acre age had Increased to 207,000 acres, and the new seedlings last year will bring the acreage to about 400,000 for 1925 season. The high lime and protein con tent of alfalfa bay is what makes It valuable as a feed, as these nutrients are low in most home-grown feeds and must be supplied by purchasing expensive concentrates.” In tests conducted by experiment stations, It has been found that where alfalfa has been substituted for bran In the ration a slight increase in milk now has resulted. Value of Alfalfa Meal On account of many inquiries with regard to the feeding value of alfalfa meal a test was made at the Central Experimental farm with a group of Ayrshire and Holstein cows. The cows were fed standard rations of corn silage, clover hay and meal, the meal being partly composed of either bran or alfalfa meal. The alfalfa meal In the test did not prove as valuable as a feed for dairy cows as bran, but this depends a good deal on the price paid for each. I f the alfalfa meal can be bought at a price some 10 to 15 per cent lower than bran. It may prove more economical. Fence-Breaking Habit When cows have once learned the habit of breaking through a fence. It la hard to break them of It. There are two things that yon can do and these are first to feed the cows all they will eat and the other Is to put more wires on your fence. The wires should be so light and so close to gether that the cows cannot get their heads between. On the other hand when cows are fed all they want to eat. they will want to lie down and chew their cud. Pruning will soon occupy the atten tion of many fruit growers and ques tions will arise concerning the best procedure under certuln conditions. Horticulturists at the New York state agricultural experiment station at Geneva assert that many orchard- Ists prune too much, without regard to the real Deed of the trees. It Is pointed out that with trees which are well selected when the orchard Is set out It Is necessary to remove only oc casional branches which start out In the wrong place and to remove dead, Injured and crossed limbs. I f the trees are bearing small fruits, If the tops contain many dead branches, or If the seasonal growth Is short and scant, judicious pruning Is recommended as a means of rejuvena- tlon. "This usually consists In cut- ting back many branches and In en- tirely removing orther»,’’ says the sta tion authorities, who lay down the fol lowing general rules applicable under such conditions: “ Prune weak-grow ing varieties heavily, strong-growing kinds lightly. Varieties which branch freely need little pruning; those with many unbrnnehed limbs, much prun ing. Prune trees in rich, deep soils lightly; In poor, shallow soils heavily." The cutting back of all the branches of a tree Is practiced regularly only with peaches and some plums. It Is said. “ This is attributed to the fact that, with these fruits, the wood of the past season, and therefore the crop. Is borne progressively further away from the trunk, so that It Is necessary to head-ln these fruits by cutting back the branches in order to keep the bear ing wood near the trunk. On the other hand, apples, pears, cherries and most plums are borne on spurs from wood two or more years old and with these heuding-ln is not so desirable. Exper imental evidence obtained In tests on the station grounds Indicates that win ter pruning has no special advantage over summer pruning, except that the pressure of other work is less.” Dwarf Apple Tree Unfit for Commercial Orchard Dwarf apples have no place In com mercial orchards In New York when compured with the standard sorts, ac cording to horticulturists at the agri cultural experiment station at Geneva. Although the advantages claimed for dwarf trees will appeal to amateur growers, the weaknesses of these miniature trees render them unfit for large plantings. Due to the fact that the dwarf trees take less space, a greater variety of fruit can be grown In the garden or small orchard than where standard- size trees are grown. Dwarf apples also make attractive ornamentals, if properly cared for, and thus add to their usefulness for home planting. “ Dwarf trees are trees which by various means have been made to grow smaller than normal trees of the same variety,” say the station horti culturists. “The dwarf trees are just as healthy and vigorous as normal trees and produce fruit of the same size and quality "In America, dwarfing Is usually ac complished by grafting scions or cut tings from standard varieties on some rootstock which dwarfs the top. It Is usually necessary to resort to summer pruning as well to secure true dwarfs. On the station grounds, the standard trees are grown on the so-called French Crab stock, which is widely used In America. Dwarf apples come Into bearing slightly earlier than do standard apples, but the difference In this respect Is not sufficient to make the dwarf trees any more desirable commercially."
