Self- 
Balancing Bowl 
The Secret of Perfect Skimming 
The Belgium Melotte is the only single-bearing-bowl 
ever made. This patented bowl hangs from one 
frictionless ball bearing and spins like a top. It is 
self-balancing. It skims as perfectly nfter 15 yea's’ 
use as when new. Positively cannot ever get out of 
balance and vibrate, thus causing cross currents 
which waste cream by remixing with the milk. Six 
hundred pound Melotte turns as easily as 800 pound 
Separator of other makes. Spins for 25 minutes 
unless brake is applied. No other Separator has 
or needs a brake.

THE MEADER-ATLAS CO., 107 Hudson St., New York 
A Sunday in May 
“Toll Elsie to wait till the birds sins 
and the grass grows green." wrote grand¬ 
dad. And now that the grass is so vividly 
green, with bright yellow dandelions for 
good measure, and Mother Itobin has 
begun carrying worms to her nest in the 
little cedar, we miss him more every day 
We find a copper cent under the pictur¬ 
esque old elm where he used to sit watch¬ 
ing as we worked, and shutting our eyes 
it all comes back, the long, quiet figure in 
the loose khaki hunting coat, the sound 
of his kind, whimsical voice expounding 
some point in Aesop’s fables to the little 
girl crouched at his knee. Surely he was 
here—yesterday. 
It seems that grand-dad has left behind 
a monument other than that granite block 
in the village churchyard. No one who 
is cheerful, unselfish and companionable 
ever leaves this world without making 
his impression on the lives of those who 
enjoyed “having him around.” It is the 
secret of human progress thus far. _ Our 
heritage is the memory of grand-dad’s un¬ 
quenchable spirit, his ability to make 
people laugh, his tenderness for little 
children and for little, helpless creatures 
within reach of hungry claws. It is some 
years since grand-dad started the big light 
that we all knew must be a losing oue. 
“I want to go with my boots on, to be a 
man till the very last.” said he. and his 
wish came true last Easter Sunday. 
Elsie and little .Taue have found this 
Sunday afternoon very dull, it. seems, 
with Cathy gone back to the mill, daddy 
and Mr. Perkins deep in magazines, only 
to be roused briefly, when at all. Little 
Jane climbs into my lap. looking earnest¬ 
ly first in one eye and then the other, 
chuckling at the smile thus brought to 
mother’s face. Whose lonesome child is 
this? 
“Mr. Perkins is reading out by the gar¬ 
den,” states Elsie in a noncommittal 
tone, “and he says that he’d like to see 
the pollywogs.” 
“That so?” says daddy, looking sur¬ 
prised. “Well, we might go down there, 
I suppose.” This is a great moment for 
Elsie, and she runs off to bring the 
“man.” Meanwhile daddy pins a piece 
of paper to our back door, which asks 
chance visitors to follow the lane back 
to the pasture in case this fine May Sun¬ 
day brings one to our gate. 
The big potato-planting job is done for 
the year, and daddy’s careful gauging of 
rows as to width and Straightness makes 
the field look restful to the eye. like a 
well-planned picture. The sun-sprouts 
have outstripped the rest of the planting 
far beyond expectations; most of the 
plants were four inches high as the oth¬ 
ers broke ground, and now they have 
grown out of covering bounds, and we 
will have to depend on smudging off frost. 
There was a frost here May TO that stif¬ 
fened the clover leaves, and whitened 
fresh cultivated ground. We planted a 
large number of smudge fires, but the 
smoke simply would not stay on the field, 
being carried off in the changeable cur¬ 
rents of air. Perhaps these very currents 
of air are what saved the green vines. 
Down at the pasture gate we are met 
by old Grace, who looks rather glad of 
company. It seems that even a big red 
cow gets lonesome sometimes, for she 
shows intentions of following on behind. 
But we are only going as far as the pool 
where the pollywogs live. 
The pasture is a low acre. The laud 
slopes down to it from the north, south 
and west, and on the east is the woods. 
At first glance you see only a section of 
low,, springy ground, dotted by clumps 
of yellow buttercups set in green swamp 
grass. But there are dainty paths nibbled 
about where the grass is sweetest, aud 
in the center we are planning to have a 
water-lily pool. Daddy has said that it 
would lie really possible to bring the 
water down grade from the spring, also 
warming it on the way down by means 
of an open ditch. It. is a matter of much 
interest and pleasure, for we are all 
curious to see Gloriosa, Eugenia De Land, 
Paul llariot, Gladstonia and the yellow 
one we don’t pronounce unfold their 
waxen buds. 
The pollywogs have grown since we 
saw them last. The spring is at the foot 
of the west slope, and enclosed in a box¬ 
like structure that prevents animals from 
slipping into its 4-ft. excavatiou. It is 
the abode of 11 frogs, some thousands of 
pollywogs and one of the most alert 
water spiders, and overflows into a little 
pool which seems to be their playground. 
It looks very easy to be a pollywog; ap¬ 
parently there is nothing to do but wiggle 
those tails until they cease to be tails. 
If they have any responsibility at all, it 
is to keep up this motion, I think, for 
they are all so busily engaged in doing 
nothing else. The water spider, crafty 
and cool, watches for Elsie to continue 
that game of tag. She has often touched 
the spot where he has been, which is as 
near as she is likely to be. He moves like 
a flash, faster than eye can follow, but is 
back again in a few seconds, darting out 
from the edge where a fringe of grass 
hides his exits. Daddy has thrown down 
a platform of rails, and the children find 
it great sport to lie propped up on their 
elbows and watch the pool at close range. 
Farther up the slope a huge, guarled 
old chestnut is outlined against blue sky, 
and underneath daddy is pushing some 
rails together in the form of seats. We 
never see this huge pile of rails without 
thinking back to the days when men split 
up trees to make fences. It seems as if 
a big job like this would almost take 
courage from a man who was just starting 
out to be a farmer. Across fields tin 
State road is a-gleam with machines run 
by a twist of the wrist, fitted up like 
toilet cases. There have come to be so 
many of them that driving on Sunday is 
more of an anxiety than a pleasure. 
What a contrast! 
It re?m:; very restful to sit here on the 
old rail pile and watch the rest of the 
world glide by. My dress is probably out 
of style, but that fact does not annoy one 
out here. The oriole is singing a. love 
song in my favorite elm, and lie doesn’t 
have any preferences for listeners with 
much money, for he is singing to his mate 
on the nest that swings from a lower 
limb. Mr. Perkins is telling the children 
a story about real alligators, and daddy 
and I find ourselves listening intently to 
the fragments that drift up from the pool. 
“The old alligator, she comes up from 
the river and makes her nest, on the bank. 
Why, she makes it out of weeds and 
grass, and leaves—carries ’em in her 
mouth. An’ she lays her eggs and goes 
back to the water. Some day all the lit¬ 
tle alligators hatch out, and how they 
find the river so quick T don’t know; but 
they do. An’ the old ’gator takes care 
of ’em then : if a dog wants to get eat 
up. why, just let him go and stand on the 
river bank—she won’t even allow you to 
carry a dog on a rowboat. Lots o’ ’gators? 
Well, there’s oue river in the south of 
Florida where if yon crawl out on a limb 
over the water, in less than 10 minutes 
the river under you’ll be right full of 
’gators tr.vin’ to get you down. They 
makes a funny noise. It’s like—well, 
you know what old Dan do when he rolls 
over on the ground. The first time I 
heard old Dan rollin’ I thought it was a 
’gator—sure enough.” 
The sun gets low in the west, and the 
mosquitoes begin to remind us that it is 
time to go home. On the way we will 
stop to look at the watermelon seed, and 
see if the peanuts have sprouted. The 
muskmelons are already up. Old Grace 
is coming, too. “Oh. do let me lead her. 
daddy!” cries Elsie, and little Jane de¬ 
mands a ride; in fact the whole, party 
seems in good spirits. The air is cool 
and sweet with opening blossoms, the 
grass, that first perfect green ; it is a won¬ 
derful. mysterious old world. No. grand¬ 
dad. we’re not forgetting, just “carrying 
Oil.” MRS. F. H. UNGER. 
Milk for Exhibition 
Some time ago I r< ad an article about 
milk having been produced in the western 
part of the United States and shipped 
and exhibited at the Paris Exposition. 
The milk was supposed to have been pro¬ 
duced in such sanitary conditions that it 
did not spoil. I would like to know how 
this can be done. w. R. L. 
Two kinds of samples may appear at 
milk exhibits. There may be those es¬ 
pecially prepared for the contest by se¬ 
curing a small amount of milk under as 
near germ-free conditions as is possible. 
With a little care a quart or so of milk is 
takeu from one cow and does not neces¬ 
sarily represent the duality of milk that 
would be produced under practical and 
ordinary conditions. The 1 second class of 
samples are those which do represent in 
a tme way the whole milk supply of a 
given herd. These samples are taken in 
a careful manner, to be sure, but repre¬ 
sent truly the quality of the milk as pro¬ 
duced under every-day, practical con¬ 
ditions. The first group may win prizes, 
but such samples discourage the exhi¬ 
bition of samples of the second class. 
We believe the writer of the above let¬ 
ter refers to the production of good milk 
under ordinary conditions and practices. 
Milk of such quality is and can be pro¬ 
duced so that it will keep sweet indefinite¬ 
ly if kept cold at all times. Glean milk 
kept cold will remain sweet for a long 
time. Milk is produced on many East¬ 
ern farms today that is shipped to Ari¬ 
zona, Panama Canal Zone and other dis¬ 
tant points before being consumed. The 
ocean liners likewise are supplied with 
clean milk that ke»ps sweet indefinitely. 
As oue becomes familiar with the many 
sources from which milk may become con¬ 
taminated, he will appreciate the fact 
that it is a difficult matter to reduce 
dairy sanitation to such simple terms 
that they will seem reasonable to the or¬ 
dinary farmer. Most authorities, however, 
agree that, the following practices are 
necessary to the production of clean, 
wholesome milk: (1) Have at least the 
teats and udders clean—by wiping with 
a damp cloth or by thoroughly washing 
them; (2) use only a sterile, small-top 
milk pail; (3) use only thoroughly 
cleaued and sterilized utensils; (4) cool 
the milk immediately below 50 deg. F. 
and keep cold until delivered or con¬ 
sumed; (5) milk with dry bauds, and 
(0) have the stable air free from dust 
and bad odors at milking time. 
The first four practices will give good. 
milk under ordinary farm conditions. 
The other points are advisable if possible.
