Save Grain by Clean Threshing:
There is no doubt that a great deal
e. of grain goes into the strawstacks
-every threshing season. Not so much
as some people believe, and not enough
in many cases to make it pay to thresh
'the strawstacks for the grain in them,
but enough to- make clean threshing
.neceasaiy.
Before the threlting season ended
last year, twenty-two states of the
Republic to the south, where efforts
toward cleaner threshing were carried
e Ai on, reported an aggregate saving of
17, 16,000,000 bushels of wheat. Other
states, although they did not give
figures, reported greatly reduced har-
vest losses, In addition to wheat, at
which -the clean threshing campaign
was especially aimed, there were cor-
responding savints of other grains
which are harvested ancj threshed in
' much the same manner as wheat and
usually with the same machinery. An
average of several thousand tests
showed that raking shock rows saved
about one bushel of grain an acre. In
the past this operation has been an
infrequent practice. Figuring this
year's wheat crop at about 71,000,000
acres, a saving of one bushel an acre
would mean $160,460,000, at $2.26 a
bushel. A corresponding saving might
be effected in Canada.
The time of threshing depends on,
weather conditions. In regions subject
•to heavy rainfall only a small part of
small grains is threshed from the•
shocks. Threshing from the stack re-.
guires extra help to do the hauling andi
stacking, but less help at threshing
time. Desidesg-stackeel grain can be
• threshed later when help is not so
hard to get. Grain threshed out of the
shOelemust be very dry if it is to keep
well in storage.
In some small neighborhoods sever-
al farmers go together and buy a
thresher, running it with their trac-
tors. In still other instances an indi-
vidual Owns a small thresher, costing
$300 or so, and threshes at his own

Keep the Fall( Pigs Growing.
"Keep the fall shoats growing an
putting on fat, even if you have t
buy earn at a high price in order t
do lt," is the advice of several su
cesefill hog breeders. This is essex
tially true on farms where cows a
kept, and where it is possible t
add skim -milk to the diet.
"Hogs that are put on the marke
should be grained in addition to the
summer priathire," is the advice of on
of the most successful breeders, "Fa
pig's that are being turned on pasture
should be on part feed of corn to keep
them putting on flesh to fit them for
an early market. Too many hogs are
run through the summer on pasture
alone, and then fed out for winter mar-
ket when the price is at the bottom.
The time to get the fall pigs to market
is in the summer or the early fall
when the price is et, the top."
I asked a man who. aims to have
from sixty to one hundred fall pig
read Y for market,how he planned h
feeding program, "I intend to carr
them through the Summer on alfalf
and about one-half as much corn a
they will eat. To finish them I wi
plant six acres of ninety -day corn o
fall plowing. As soon as this start
to dent I will turn the hogs into t
field and let them 'hog down' the cor
They will be in good shape when the
go into the field and will be read
to take on fat rapidly, and shoul
be ready for the market by Septembe
15 to October 1.
"I know this is a good way to feed
from my experience of last season,
explained the farmer. "In April, 191
I bought eighty head of October pig
I fed them a half -feed of corn and run
them on alfalfa until August. 20, when
I turned t'nern into a six -acre field of
niriety-day corn. They weighed one
hundred and ninety pounds each whe
they went into the corn, and when
sold them, September 20 they averag
ed two hundred and fifty pounds. De
livered to •market they brought $1
per hundred pounds. Thus, each acr
of corn, which would make about fprt
bushels per acre, made me eight hun
dred pounds of pork, which at $1
per hundred, was worth $152."
Another practical farmer was aske
if he thought it practical or profitabl
to feed $1.50 corn to $18 hogs," an
replied that he thought so. "I think
can put two pounds a day on my hog
until they go to market, and thi
amount will mean a good profit t
me."
Next door I found a man with two
hundred head of pigs he had picked.
up. These will be fed through th
summer in order to have them read

that would amount in a year to $18,25.
At that rate, in two or three years the
separator will have earned its cost.
And such figuring does not consider
the saving in butterfat, So it eein be
seen that if one plans to make reach
butter a .separator is a necdssity.
After the milk is brought from the
barn while still warm, it should be
strained through a wire strainer and
cheesecloth combined, to remove all
of the lurking dirt that may have got
into the milk. After separating all
of the milk from that milking, the
separator should be taken apart and
thoroughly washed end cleaned, ac-
cording to the directions which are
furnished withthe machine.
It is 'surprising how many persons
merely pour some warm water throigh
the separator and "take a chance,"
I remember% conversation with one
s lady about the keeping and ripening
is of cream.
Y "Why, before I get a chance to even
a start to ripen my cream," she told me,
s "I find that it has 'turned' a good
11 many times lately."
n "How often do you plan to churn?"
s I asked her.

"Well, last winter I used to churn
about twice a week, but now I must
churn at least three times and some-
times four times a week," she told me.
"I can't see why it acts so," she con-
tinued, "but it seems that every time
that I get a certain amount of cream
collected it sours before I am ready.
" So I have to churn before it gets too
8, sour or rancid. Even then it does not
S. have that clean sour taste it used to
have."
I did some hard thinking, because
as far as I knew she was very par-
ticular M her buttermaking. I wen -
n dered if it could be something wrong
1 with the separator. We went to the
- machine and took it apart.
- Well, it was coated with thick curds
9 of rancid cream and sour milk that
e had been left there by careless clean -
Y ing. It was a wonder to me that the
- cream did not come out of the spout
9 sour,
"Now this looks as though it had
d not been washed and cleaned as it
e
d
should have been," I told her. "Don't
you wash it at least once a day?"
"Now I can see what the trouble
s is," she exclaimed. "Mary, come here,"
O she called, and the hired girl came in.
o "Mary," she asked, "don't you wash
this separator every day as I told
you to ?"
"Well, it's like this," and Mary
e hung her head. "I've been so busy
Y lately that I could not wash it every
- day, so I thought that if I ran some
e warm water through it that it would
go all right until I got a chance, but,
honest, I never let it go over a week."
Mary was a new girl and never had
worked where butter was made, so she
did not realize the importance of a
clean separator, but we had found the
eause, and after that there was no
more trouble.

The three letters in the successful
ork-maker's primer, are good blood,
ummer, pasture, "hogging down"
arly corn. The best way for a farmer
o make pork profitable is by starting
ith good blood, building a good
rams on the shoats, mainly with
egumes or rape, "hogging down" a
eld of early corn, and then finally
nishing with a self -feeder on shelled
orn and tankage. In this way early
pring pigs from good blood strains
an be made to weigh from two hun-
red and fifty to three hundred
ounds in ten months.
One breeder advises that he made
is. cheapest gain by letting his shoats
un into a field of new corn, in •addi-
ion to giving them access to a self-
eeder with tankage. The next cheap -
at gain's he ever made were made
hen the hogs ran to a self -feeder
ontaining tankage and corn, and et
he same time had all the good pas-
ure they wanted. If pasture is not
vailable, hogs on feed should be
iven last -cutting alfalfa.
"Pork cannot be grown profitably
ithout pasture," he continued. "If
falfa is not available, or if the
eeder is a tenant who cannot sow
falfa., it will pay to sow rape. I
ave' made tests to learn the value of
pe compared with alfalfa for hogs,
nd I find there is little difference in
e feeding value."
Separator Pays Fr Itself.
Nowadays it seems foolish to think
separating the milk and cream by
e old-fashioned method' of shallow -
n setting. By this I mean putting
o milk in pans about four inches

lemming the cream that collects on

upon his .arrival in Rome in the year
60 or 61 A.D. About eleven years
before, on his second missionary jour-
ney, Paul had 'come over from Asia.
into Macedonia and had preached the
Gospel to the Philippians, founding
there the first Christian Church in
• Europe. He had been driven from
Philippi by persecution, but returned
thither some five or six years later.
He speaks of the Philippians in terms
of warm appreciation of their eon.
stant and unfailing kindness to him,
and of the care which they had of him.
See 2 Cor. 11: 9, and compare verse
15. When he first left them and went
to Thessalonica they had sent him
gifts (v. 16), and again when he was
in Corinth. But during his long im-
prisonment in Palestine they had
"lacked opportunity" to help him.
Now, hearing that he was he Rome
and in prison, they sent Epaphroditus
with gifts for him. Paul says, "Ye
have revived your thought for me."
(v. 10 in Revised Version), and speaks
of that which they sent as "an odor
of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable,
a-ellpleasing to God."
Epaphroditus had journeyed --seven
hundred miles tirbring these kindly
gifts. While in Rome he had. been
busy ministering to Paul and helping
in the work of the Church. Paul calls
him "my brother and fellow -worker
and fellow -soldier, and your messeng-
er and minister in my need" (2: 25.) 'Se
But he had been taken riously ill
and was near to death. "For the work
of Christ," Paul says, "he came nigh
unto death" (2: 30), probably having
encountered severe hardships on his
long journey, but even in his illness
his character shines forth 'brightly,
for he was !sore troubled," not be-
cause he was sick, but , because his
friends in Philippi had heard and
would be anxious (2: 26).
If Epaphroditus is a fair sample of
the Philippian Christians, then they
were good fellows indeed. Paul speaks
particularly of their "fellowship in -
the furtherance of the gospel from
the first day until now" (1: 5), and of
their fellowship in his affliction. (4:
15). It was that sense of comrade-
ship, 'much more than their gifts, •
which pleased andcomforted h' .H •
could have done without the gifte, for
he had learned self-denial in a hard
school (vs. 11-13), but their love for
him and care of him and thought for •
him were unspeakably precious.
It is, he said, "not because I desire
a gift," but "fruit that may abound
to your account." He did desire that
they should be the kind of people who
would be thoughtful and generous,
and would do kindly deeds that would'
he to their credit. HP desired that
their credit acount should be large, .,
that they might have a rich reward
from God. For, he said to them, "My
God shall supply alT your need ace
I cording to his riches in glory be- Christ

fellowship existing between Paul and
the Christian folk of Philippi is ex-
