' APerhsps the most common cause for dissatisfaction among ereamery ' ns is the variation in test of cream delivered. This is especially true
n each can of cream is tested separately at the creamery. There may be
a variation in the test of the separate can white the average test for
.different months may show very little variation. To the average farmer
H, ||-y-man who has not had a very extensive experience with creain separ-
, the variation in test of his cream is quite a puzzle. I-Ie naturally
gks that if the same separator is run by the sarne man all the time and he has not changed the cream screw, the test ought to remain the same
the time. _ But the test of the cream does vary from time to time. and this fact
not in any measure indicate that careless testing is being done. It is
,rutleally impossible to run a separator without having the cream vary and me should consider it more suspicious if the ir:.t always remained exactly the same, than when there is a variation. There may bc several causes for
those variations. Brief mention will be made of the more important ones.
First: There may be variations in the speed at which the separator is
run. This at once effects a change in the per cent. of butter fat in the cream.
men the separator is run faster, there is a, greater amount of skim milk
drown out and a smaller amount of higher testing cream. The slowerspeed
glves s larger quantity of thinner cream.
Second: There may be variations in the rate of feeding the separator.
he fact that there is a. float governing the inflow of milk does not neces-
“rlly insure an equal rate of feed at all times. Sometimes the faucet may
net be entirely open, and this will decrease the amount of pressure on the
gupply and also lower the rate of inflow. A difference in the amount of
ilk in the supply can may make a difference in the rate of feed for the
In
“me reason. Whenever the rate of inflow is increased there will be_ a larger
,mount of thinner cream.
Third: Improper washing of the bowl may be another cause. The cream
mtlet is very small and if not thoroughly cleaned after each separating a
gust of dried cream may form around the edges. This will gradually make
mg opening smaller and a less amount of higher testing cream results just
gh, “ms as if the cream screw were changed. Then some times this crust
wil probably be removed and there is a sudden change to a larger amount
of thinner cream.
Fourth: A variation in the amount of water or skim mill: used for
flushing out the bowl is a very com mon cause for variation in test. It is
,ny gg cary the amount of water or skim milk used for this purpose suffi- cient to change the test several per cent.
Fifth: lt is a well known fact that the test of the milk from a herd of
cows may vary from time to time. Changes in weather, excitement, etc..
may cause these changes. This change in the test of the whole milk will also
cause a change in the amount of butt er tat in the cream. One authority
says that if the milk from a herd of cows testing four per cent is separated
se ss to give cream testing forty per cent., and the test of the milk suddenly
raises to 42.5 per cent., which often occurs, the cream will then test about 42.5
pe: cent. This makes a. variation of two and a half per cent, in the test of
the cream caused by s variation of one-fourth of one per com. in the test
ef the whole milk.
Thus it may be seen that there are various conditions which may affect
the test of cream with which the operator at tho creamery has nothing to
do, and charges of careless work or dishonesty should not be brought against him unless founded on something better than just simply a variation in
ielt.

The time is about at hand when the stock will again be turned out into
the pastures. All fences should be carefully looked over to find if posts are
all good and to ses that there are no slack or broken wires. .lf this is care-
fully attended to and fences put in good repair before cattle are turned to
pasture it will save time and worry "l'i'ier""ori."'D'o"not'isave it until after the stock get the habit of "breaking out." If you do it is probable that several times during the summer nights when you are getting your much-needed
rest you will be roused from your slumbere by the bark of the dog and find
your cattle in the field, ur the orchard, or your wlfe‘s garden, and in any
case it _makes it mighty unpleasant for you. Then, perhaps, when you go to
church, or to a picnic, or a fourth of J uiy celebration, one of the boys will have to stay at home and wut& the co ws while tho rest of the family are
sway having a good time, and that makes it pretty unpleasant for the boy.
The probability is that he will spend his time planning on how best to get
sway from the farm and forget all about the cattle, and when you get home
you find that they have been out in your neighbors cornfield. Wouldn't it bs much better to build a good fence and keep it in repair and avoid all such trouble? If you are in doubt just try lt.

~ To think that we san learn anything successfully by mere theory is ex-
pecting too much. Correct tllcory is all right in its place, and we should get all the informalion vee can about tho subject in hand, but practice is neces-
sary to complete our knowledge of it. The old adage that we learn to do by
doing is a. good one.
These principles apply to farming as well as to other lines of endeavor.
We need to read and study all we can, but this' knowledge should be supple-
mented by visiting other farms and ob serving the way in which they are conducted. A visit to the best farms of the same grade as our own will help

BY showing s.n eamest desire to learn the advice and help of the more
llpefianced may be obtained on special points of inquiry. If you can get a DPl¢¢i°I-I expert to come and go through your dairy and give his opinion
about each cow and your method of feeding and caring for milk and market- Ill. with other details, you will be exceedingly fortunate and derive great

HOW TO AVOID MISTAKES.
RICH FOODS NOT THE THING-
BY C. FREER.
One of the most important matters,
for a dairy farmer to bear in mind is that the returns he gets from his cat- tle rlenend greatly on the feed provided for them, and the treatment to which' they are subjected. If cows are neg-' lected they will not yield anything like the returns they would if properly cared for. In fact, they would thrive' much better if they had less food and
more warmth.
In the matter of fend, a cow is like a
mmhonrrl, in that you cannot mice any- thing out of it unless you have put something in. It is very poor poll:-_v to si:1r\'o or ncglect 11 cow in the winter

Mistakes are made in handling sheep
that result in losses to inexperienced men. The sheep business is all right if handled properly. In selecting the type of sheep for the average farmer to mise, he should take three essential qualities into consideration: early ma- turity. welght and quality of wool and a hardy constitution.
