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."
