Tubular 
In February a certain man | 
wished to try an experiment with | 
a Tubular separator. He wanted | 
to know by actual test exactly ~ 
what the Tubular would do. 
He had no cows so he arranged 
with a dairyman neighbor to make 
the experiment with the milk from the 
dairy of the latter. The arrangement \ 
was for the experimenter to skim the \ 
milk at the neighbor’s dairy, and the \ 
cream to go to the creamery instead of \ 
The dairy owner feared a loss of 
cream in this way, and so bargained that 
the experimenter was to pay the difference 
between what would have been obtained for 
the whole milk and the money actually re- 
ceived for the cream. 
At the end of the month Mr. Dairyman 
was surprised to find that the cream had re- 
turned him $30 more money than the factory 
would have allowed him for the whole milk. 
Sequel—Next day the dairyman and two 
neighbor dairymen each bought a Tubular

their own dairies was always open to them.

that they often carry them off before they are 
fully ripe and there is little opportunity to 
enjoy their beauty. 
The same is the case with some of the 
cherries, especially the bird, or red cherry 
(Prunus Virginiana), a medium-sized native 
tree or shrub which looks very pretty with its 
shining red fruits among the glossy leaves. 
Very distinct in appearance is the Japanese 
Prunus tomentosa with small bright red 
fruits which look very attractive against the 
dull green foliage. It is quite hardy and 
forms a dense, round headed-shrub six 
feet high or more, sometimes growing into 
a small tree.

When Sweet Peas Fail 
ape sweet peas I planted last year were 
not a success, so on July 18th I 
planted along the same fence seeds of gourds. 
The vines rapidly climbed over the fence 
and within a short time completely screened 
it. I grew an assortment and had gourds 
of all shapes. The vines must have a 
support of some kind—either a trellis or ar- 
bor—and excellent results have been obtained 
from allowing the vine to clamber over an 
old tree.
