THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
July 11, 1896 
Humorous. 
Day in aud day out some satirical churl 
Is flinging a jest at the fair bloomer girl; 
But there’s this to be mentioned—deny it who 
can— 
She’s sightlier by far than the bloomer young 
man. — Washington Star. 
“Did the kitty hurt you?” asked 
papa, seeing his little boy’s puckered 
face. “Yes,” answered Charlie, “that 
kittie has got teeth in her toes.”— Youth's 
Companion. 
“ I cannot marry you,” he remarked 
sadly to the leap year girl; “ but I will 
be a parent to you. 1 accepted your 
widowed mother last night.”— Philadel¬ 
phia Record. 
“ I keali. Y think, John,” said Mrs. 
Severe, “that you smoke too much.” 
“ Well, my love,” said John, “ if you’d 
occasionally give me a chance to talk, I 
might let my cigar go out.”— Harper's 
Bazar. 
“ Did you fall ?” said a man rushing 
to the rescue of a woman who had 
slipped on the pavement this morning. 
“Oh no,” she said. “I just sat down to 
see if I could find any four-leaf clovers.” 
—Atchison Olobe. 
Parvenu Hostess (to stable boy at¬ 
tired as waiter for the occasion of a 
dinner party): “James, why do you not 
fill Mr. De Gluttonne's glass ? ” James : 
“Lor’ ma’am, what’s the use? He 
empties it as fast as I fill it.”— Credit 
Lost. 
One Sunday morning not loDg ago a 
certain young boy was playing with a 
small step ladder. His mother saw what 
he was doing and asked him what he 
was playing. “Oh,” he said, “I’m 
playing this step-ladder is my bicycle.” 
“ But,” replied his mother, “don’t you 
know that it’s wrong to ride a bicycle 
on Sunday?” “I know, mamma, but 
I’m playing I’m a Jew.”— Life. 
Flossie is six years old. “Mamma,” 
she asked, on Christmas day, when the 
guests had assembled, “ if I gee married 
will I have to have a husband like pa ? ” 
“ Yes,” replied the mother with an 
amused smile. “ And if I don’t get mar¬ 
ried, will 1 have to be an old maid, like 
Aunt Kate?” “Yes.” “ Mamma,” (after 
a pause), “it’s a tough world for us 
women, ain’t it ? ”— Modes & Fabrics. 
Jamie, three years old, had a sore 
throat aud mamma had to paint his ton¬ 
sils. She told him to say “Ah” when 
she was read}’ with the brush, and soon 
the disagreeable task was over. Soon 
afterward little sister was telling him 
his a pbabet and he was saying it over 
after her. When she came to “R” Jamie 
shook his head. “ No,” said he, “ Don’t 
want to say ‘R’ ’cause mamma will paint 
my froat.”

SOME THOROUGHLY PRACTICAL 
SEPARATOR TESTS. 
M UCH has and may be said of the impracticability of many Experiment Station tests. 
Prof. H. H. Wing, of Cornell University Experiment Station, furnishes a most practical and 
welcome innovation in this respect, by making public in Cornell Bulletin 105, the results of 
his official tests of different separators of various makes and sizes in actual use, just as he found 
them running in their every-day manner, in his personal canvass of creameries and dairies in 
central New York, from July to October, last year. 
This is testing of an official character of more practical, trustworthy interest and guidance to 
the man who uses a cream separator for his own profit or loss than is'afforded by a hundred reports 
of what different manufacturers’ own special experts succeeded in doing under their own prescribed 
conditions with their own especially selected and previously tried machines. 
It is simply the difference between practicability and impracticability. 
The “Alpha” De Laval shows best always under any and all conditions, 
but the more strictly practical the conditions the greater the margin of iis 
demonstrated superiority. 
Prof. Wing’s practical, every-day-use tests showed AVER AGE relative results as follows :

Such tests as these mean something to practical creamerymen and dairymen 
not extreme and exceptional possibilities.' They are just such tests, as a similar canvass of both 
Hand and Power machines will duplicate in any State or section.
