A MODEL SCOTCH DAIRY FARM.

: A model dairy has beAinaugurated near Monkton,.."ScotM, by the Scottish Dairy., Association. The North British. Agriculturalist gives a very graphic report of the institution, which is full of : interest.-. All the machines and utensils were" provided by the Dairy Supply' Company, and includes a vertical steam boiler of 3 horse power, Lawreace' s capillary refrigerator, the De Laval separator, the Eccentric Victoria, and other churns, and a butter worker. By the apparatus brought forward in this model dairy, it was claimed that by using this capillary refrigator milk could be deprived of its animal heat in a few moments after being drawn from the cow. The refrigerator is placed on a stand, and consists of a cistern communicating ) with some twenty metallic tul&Hitted ' up in close horizontal order, with an I -escape pipe, and over these tubes the milk is allowed to tiickhv through very small holes,-so that bJßjs time it reaches the basin below it is within a couple of degrees of the temperature of spring water. For the transmission ! of milk to large towns or cities, this apparatus is a most necessary adjunct to a dairy farm. It is also stated that all disease germs are distroyed by putting the milk through this process. ■ 'By. the contrivance known as the separator there is effected the rapid and complete separation of cream from milk by the application of centifugal force. They can be worked with either steam or gas engine. The advantages daiujed are. that the cream can be S/fefslted from the n;ilk immediately after milking, no ice being necessary, whilo a great saving of space is effected. Also, 20 per cent more butter is produced than when the milk is set in the- ordinary way, and the milk and cream may be used from twenty-four to thirty-six hours earlier than by the usiuAprocess consequently giving producof excellent quality. One of the greatest advantages claimed was that butter could be made within an hour after the milk had been drawn from the cow, On the machinery being set in motion, .thirty-eight gallons of milk were poured into the vessel placed on a stand beside the separator, and communicating with it by means of ftap, which regulated the supply. Within one minute from the time the milk was poured into the vessel, the skim milk and cream appeared simultaneously from their separate tubes, the cream coming out at. the rate of about a tenth of tho quantity of skim milk. The cream appeared to be' thick and of excellent quality, while the skim was of a bluish color and entirely devoid of cream, thus proving the superiority of the process compared to the old "skimming" prooess, It seems impossible by aiiy setting system to get all the cream out of the- milk, Mr Chilton the Superintendent, jjays he has proved this over and ovelfeain at shows by running skimmed milk through the separator—milk that has had all the cream taken from it that the setting will give—and the separator has never failed to extract from this a percentage of oream, which has yieSjd an appreciable quantity of butter. most successful setting will leave at least 1 per cent, of butter in the skim milk, while the separator takes all tho butter to within one-quarter of 1 per cent, '.lncluded in the milk put into the separator on this oocasion was eight gallons of milk, new from the cow, and to an appreciable extent it was shown that the quantity of cream drawn from this was greater than from milk which had stood for several hours.

It may here be remarked that before being placed in the separator, the milk drawn from oach cow may be woi"hed separately, and the quality tested by a lacometer, The rough averagoitet of the quality of milk is that it oJp to yield some 10 per cent of cream. On this occasion the cream pfoju&d from, the milk put into tho separator W weighod and found' to amount to w$ lbs, fully more than 10 • per: cent. The process was thereafter completed, by the butter being made in the "Eccentric" churn, the cream yielding butter to the oxtent of 10 lb to 12. quarts.-of-cream. While there is a great dsal loss l'.buttermilk by this process than'when the milk is chuined whole, the buttermilk is of better quality, from the fact .that it contains less skim milk. Only about twenty-five minutes was required to turn tho cream in the ohnrn into butter of excellent flavor.

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS are never imitated or counterjeited This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of : the..highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world tt*fe Hop Bitters was the purest, besWuT' most valuable family medicine onjpji, many imitations sprung up and began, to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of R 8., and in every way trying;-to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting, to make money on- the credit and good name of Hi B, Many Ufam started nostrums put up in similar style' to E-.8,, with variously devised names in which the word "Hop" or " Hops" were used in a vyay to induce pe'dpte to believe they were'the same as Hop-Bitters. ' 'All such pretended . remedies or cures, no matter what their" style or name is, and. especially those with the word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name or in any way- connected with them or their name, are imitations' : or counterfeits.
