In fact where there la a quantity of
milk to baudlu. It la la some respects
•ven tuviH of a necessity
.Milk baa, of court*. many points
which require especial attention dur-
ing tlie cold weather, and to adjust
theae teems to bo the special tulaalon
of thb aeparalor.
Alinoat everyone who'complains dur-
ing the cold weather that thtr cream
does uot rise properly, has seen di-
rections to obviate thla by boating on
the range almost to the scalding point
when the milk la first atrained.
Some nave tried thla with aucceaa,
and well know that it meank more
bard work, and butter money under
auch conditlona Is surely earned. Yet.
where the milk ia obtained in large
quantities thla method would be out
of the question without special facili-
ties.
The aeparator asks no special fa-
vors, and the crehm must separate
when It geta to work. The process Is
equally thorough and easy In zero
weather, or when the mercury la trav-
eling around among the nineties.
Also, the cream -will be of the same
uniform quality day after day. There
Is on danger of being compelled to
churn for hours just because the but-
ter refuses to come, which is usually
the result of slow gathering of the
condition lessened when all the cream
Is bound to come, and that at the prop-
er time.
The mixing of too much milk with
the cream, the cream ga^ge arranges
perfectly.
Butter made from a separated
cream is uniform In quality. There is
no need of an apology because the
cream was a little this or that, for
where only the cream and not the
milk must be kept at a certain temper-
ature, the work Is easily done.
To keep the milk for hours at the
most favorable temperature might
mean great inconvenience in the
household, but the smaller cream jar
ma* b« placed near the kitchen range
and thus easily' kept at the desired
temperature, without being very much
In tbfc way
While It goea without saying that
more butter la obtained l -cguee all
the cream la taken from the milk, and
kept in the boat, condition, It la equally
true that the product . is uniformly
good. There la no varjatlpn.
In this way. If you can pleaae a cus-
tomer one day, you can pleaae him the
nest, and thla ho aoon discovers and
aeks for your butter. Then, the dealer
who handles your butter aoon learns
to guarantee It. lie can eell It for
better price than the ordinary butter,
and since the laat bit of gain Is all
gain, the profits are thus very mate-
rially Increased.
If you still wish to tend the prod-
ucts away to be manufactured, the
load to be hauled over bad roads Is
very greatly lessened. Usually It Is
not necessarily delivered so often; and
In the colder weather, when there Is
danger of freezing In transit, th? stnall
can is again more easily managed.
The advantage of having the farm
skim milk to feed to the stock is of
two foUt value. The chilled milk
which Is sure to come back from the
creamery being In no way equal in
feeding value to the fresh milk, which
even if reheated, still lacks in value,
while It Is Increased In cost of pro-
duction.
At every turn there Is an Independ-
ence gained, and this Is one of the
great things to the farmer. The more
he can plan to do his work, Independ-
ent of others and the weather, the less
will be the friction, the more complete
the satisfaction.
It is at the last end of the process,
however, that the real profit stands
out. There are expenses connected
with dairying, heavy ones, and after
these are met, the rest Is gain. There
is not a fixed percentage of profit on
the whole.
Legitimate cost must come out, no
matter what the receipts, and the
more we can save at the last end of
the process, the greater will be the
pure gain.

COTTON PICKERS SAVE TIME FEEDING PEANUTS TO SWINE
We like to defend our indulgencies
and habits even though we may be
convinced of their actual harmfulness.
A man can convince himself that
whiskey Is good for him on a cold
morning, or beer on a hot summer day
—when he wants the whiskey or beer.
It's the same with coffee. Thou-
sands of people suffer headache and
nervousness year after year but try to
persuade themselves the cause Is not
coffee—because they like coffee.
"While yet a child I commenced
using coffee arfd continued It," writes
a Wis. man, "until I was a regular
coffee fiend. I drank It every morning
and In consequence had a blinding
headache nearly every afternoon.
' My folks thought it was coffee that
ailed me. but I liked it and would not
admit it was the cause of my trouble,
eo 1 stuck to coffce and the headaches
stuck to me.
"Finally, the folks stopped buying
coffee and brought home some Postum.
They made it right (directions on
pkg.) and told me to see what differ
ence It would make with my head, and
during that first week on Postum my
old affliction did not bother me once.
From that day to this we have used
nothing but Postum In place of coffee
—headaches are a thing of the past
and the whole family Is In fine health."
"Postum looks good, smells good,
tastes good, is good, aad does good to
the whole body."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek. Mich. Read "The Road toWell-
vllle." In pkgs.
Postum now comes In two forms:
Regular Postum -must be well
boiled.
Instant Postum Is a soluble pow-
der A teaapoonful dissolves quickly
lu a cup of hot water and with cream
and au*ar, makes a delicious beverage
Instantly. Grocers aell both kinda.

Pneumatic Machine, Invented by Ohio
Man, Separates Boll From Pod—
Much Labor Saved.
Now it is cotton picking toward
which the vacuum principle has been
directed. An Ohio man has Invented
a pneumatic machine which seems to
be entirely practical and a great
time-saver. An apparatus to create
suction is mounted on the rear of a
truck and in front is a wire cage to
hold the cotton. A tube leading from
New Cotton Picker.
the suction apparatus has a set of
teeth iu its bell-shaped mouth, so that
after the boll has entered the mouth
it will not withdraw, but will be
Bucked into the tube and through the
latter Into the cage. It Is a much
swifter and neater operation than
picking cotton by hand, and two or
three men can pick a field quicker
with it than a small army of negroes
could do the work unaided.
Alfalfa Hay for Cows.
Because of the high protein content,
alfalfa is especially valuable as a feed
for dairy cowa, for breeding animals
and for growing young stock. It la of
considerable economic value when
grown and fed on the farm, as it takea
the place of high-priced protein-rich
concentrates, such as bran and cotton-
seed meal. It Is more economical, un-
der most conditions at least, to feed It
aa a part ration either with corn or
some carbohydrate roughage as cora
stover or grass hay. rather than to
feed it alone.
Hay Will Run From One-Half to One
Ton Per Acre and Is Almost Equal
to Alfalfa in Value.
Dry weather and hot winds will have
no terror for the Oklahoma farmer
who adopts the motto of "Pigs and
Peanuts."
The drought this season has demon-
strated, says the Duncan Eagle, that
peanuts will thrive better during the
dry, hot season than even kafir corn,
and the peanuts have a still further
advantage in having far greater food
value than either corn or kafir.
The highest priced pork on the mar-
ket, says the Oklahoma Farmer, is
from the peanut-fed hogs, and the ham
from peanut-fed hogs brings from 10
to 15 cents a pound more than the
ham frpm corn-fed hogs.
The peanut hay will run from one-
half to one ton to the acre, and is
almost the equal of alfalfa In feed
value. Farmers who raise peanuts and
hogs can have the hogs harvest the
crop If they desire to turn them Into
the peanut field, or they can put the
peanuts, vine and all, with a little corn
or kaiir into a silo, which makes a
richer silage than either alone. Thou-
sands of farmers In Oklahoma need to
adopt the motto of "Pigs and Pea-
nuts."
The time to plan a pig and peanut
campaign is now. Splendid seed pea-
nuts will be offered for sale soon, and
the farmer of Oklahoma who selects
high-class nuts for seed will be ready
in the spring io plant a crop that
never fails in Oklahoma.
Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give "California
Syrup of Figs."
j Children love this "fruit laxative,"
| and nothing else cleanses, the tender
I stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
| A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result Is
I they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
j stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
I Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
j give a teaspoonful of "Callfprnia
j Syrup of Figs," and In a few hours all
. the constipated waste, sour bile arid
undigested food passes out of the sys-
' tem, and you have a well child again.
I Millions of mothers give "California
Syrug of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it nev-
I er fails to act on the stomach, liver
1 and bowels.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

Cruel Act of Warfare.
One hundred years ago General Mc-
Clure. learning of the disastrous re-
sult of the American campaign in
Ix>wer Canada and fearing his own
force would be attacked by the British
resolved to evacuate Fort George and
abandon the country. This he accord-
ingly did, with all his troops, and with
such precij)itanty that he left behind
his tents and stores. His retreat' was
accompanied by an act that has left
an indelible stigma upon his name.
The frost had set In early and severe.
The snow lay deep upon the ground.
Yet at 30 minutes' notice, of 150
houses in the Canadian village of
Newark, he fired all save one, and
drove 400 helpless women and chil-
dren to seek shelter In the log huts
of the scattered settlers, or In the
bark wigwams of the wandering In-
dians.

Turn the rascals out—the headache,
biliousness, indigeetion, the sick, sour

out to-night and keep them out witli
Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upeet stom-
ach.
Don't put in another day of distress. -
Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach;
remove the sour, fermenting food;
take the excess" bile from your liver
and carry out all the constipated
waste matter and poison in the
bowels. Then you will feel great.
A Cascaret to-night straightens you
out by morning. They work while
you sleep. . A 10-cent box from
any drug store means a clear head,
sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver
and bowel action for months. Chil-
dren love Cascarets because they
never gripe or sicken. Adv.

Use of Fertilizer*.
The use of commercial fertilizers Is
becoming more general among fruit
growers, due largely to the fact that
stable manure is somewhat scarce In
many fruit growing districts. In or-
der to get the best results from the
use of fertilizers, the grower must
study his soil, and by observing .the
results obtained from experimental
application he will soon know the re-
quirements of his soil. Commercial
fertilizers are expensive, and require
Intelligent handling. Many growers
have, without sufficient cause, con-
demned their use. while others, after
studying their soil conditions, are se-
curing excellent returns for the
moon' in vested.
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur
and Nobody Will Know.
Almost everyone knows that Saga
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound-
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul-
phur Hair Remedy." }*ou will get a
large bottle for about 50 cents. Every-
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, ae it does It
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with It and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn-
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.
