BUS/MESS BITS. 
In the manufacture of hand-power cream 
separators no feature has gfiven rise to so 
much perplexity as the construction of the 
bowl. The new bowl used In the Empire 
seems to solve the problem in a practical 
and simple manner. The catalogue recent¬ 
ly Issued by the United States Butter Ex¬ 
tractor Co., Bloomfield, N. J., gives full 
information in regard to its construction 
and workings. This new bowl is not an 
experiment, as It has been used several 
years abroad and has been subjected to 
exhaustive tests by experts In practical 
every-day use on dairy farms. We believe 
it will hasten the day when a separator 
will be found on every farm where cows 
are milked. 
Don’t wait until your berries are ripe be¬ 
fore making arrangements for your berry 
baskets. You can, as a rule, buy on more 
satisfactory terms early in the season. 
Coles & Company, 109-111 Warren St., New 
York City, handle the output of 27 fac¬ 
tories, and they will treat you right. 
CoRN-planting time will soon be at hand. 
To get the corn in quickly a good planter 
is necessary. For those not planting suffi¬ 
cient acreage to afford a two-horse planter 
the Spangler will be sure to please. It 
has fertilizer attachment and does Its work 
in a satisfactory manner. Spangler Mfg. 
Co., York, Pa., is the maker. 
The farmer or chicken raiser who is not 
familiar with the Victor Incubators and 
brooders should write at once to George 
Ertel Co., Quincy, Ill., for the 178-page 
Illustrated descriptive book of Incubators 
and brooders. It is “chokefull” of poultry 
lore. It will tell you how to Increase a 
hatch in almost any machine that is made 
anywhere near right. There is much in 
It, too, about hatching and raising ducks, 
how to build poultry houses, etc. 
It Is claimed that the greatest exhibit of 
pleasure vehicles ever assembled in one 
building is the current stock of the Colum¬ 
bus Carriage & Harness Co., Columbus, O. 
More than 2,000 pleasure vehicles of all 
sorts and styles are shown. The great 
success of this company Is due to their 
plan of selling direct to the user, thus sav¬ 
ing the buyer the entire middleman’s 
profit. A very handsome Illustrated cata- 
logrue and price list will be sent on appli¬ 
cation. _ 
Notes by the Doctor. 
If in the event of an accident the one 
hurt should vomit soon thereafter, the in¬ 
jury is likely to prove serious. If a limb 
be Injured so that some deformity results. 
It is probably either fractured or dislocated. 
If fractured a comparatively slight amount 
of force will be required to restore It to its 
natural shape, but It will only remain so 
while the force Is kept up. Its natural 
mobility will be found by the one examining 
it to be the same as ever, except for the 
pain attending the movement, together 
with some mobility that is not natural. In 
the case of a dislocation the mobility of 
the limb is lessened. There is a fixedness 
of the Joint at the seat of the injury that 
is unusual and the normal shape or contour 
of the limb cannot be restored by any mod¬ 
erate degree of force. A flushed face does 
not necessarily imply the existence of fever; 
neither is the lack of color a guarantee that 
fever is not present. In the absence of a 
clinical thermometer, or the skill requisite 
for Its correct application, the hand of the 
nurse, if warm and placed on the body of 
the patient under the arm, will serve the 
purpose fairly well. Before the cllnl^l 
thermometer came in this rough test of the 
temperature was the only one.available to 
A chronic, “tearing ” Cough, can be so alleviated 
that It via be scarcely felt, while the way Is being 
paved for a perfect cure with Dr. D. Jayne’s Ex¬ 
pectorant.—Adr.

“it has persuaded Buffalonians that they 
have not been forgotten by outside rela¬

letters received by T. W, Lee, General 
Passenger Agent of the Lackawanna
