INQUIRY DEPARTMENT..

Mrs. M. ]. B., Roxana, Ala, June II,
1S92-Please advise me what TO do Tor
my cow She Is running in a good grass
pasture and is fed on cotton seed and
shucks. She is in fine condition and due
to calve IN October. The butter will not
come, no matter how long 1t is churned.
The milk foams as though II had soda In
it. Please advise me what to do.
Ans: II your cow has an abundance
of pure water together with the pastur-
age and feeding II is hard to locate the
trouble, If you keep the milk at the proper
temperature. II the cream or butter
fat rises on the milk IL seems that by
proper handling you ought to be able
TO separate the butter globules when
churning. II may be that some weed in
the pasture is the trouble. / would ad-
wise that for a week or two you keep
the COW enclosed in her lot and feed on
boiled cotton seed and slops, giving her
an ounce and a half OF salt daily and
all the fresh water she wants. Place the
milk in shallow pans until turned and
churn at a temperature of 60 to 60 de-
grees. II the cow Is a well bred animal
can see no reason why the butter fat
should not be be present in the milk, If
she is in sound, healthy condition.

CLEAN SUMMER TlLLAGE.

Recent Practice on Irrigated Land
Is Toward Deeper Cultivation
Clean summer tillage is almost q uni

a certain extent as the popular phrase
goes, a substitute for irrigation Un-

promoting conservation Of soil mois-

regions.
These experiments fully support the
view taught by the experience of about
half a century In California. In ac-
cordance with which thorough winter
and summer tillage has been SO wide
ly practiced In the arid section as an
essential TO successful fruit growing
There are. however. some conditions in
which clean cultivation during the sea-
son of highest heat may not be the
best practice.
The relations OF tillage to soil mois-
ture include both reception and conser-
vntion- For the reception of moisture
deep work with the plow and some
times with the subsoiler also Is almost
Indispensable. To retain this moisture
and to prevent as far as possible its
escape into the thirsty air Of the arid
region by surface evaporation less
depth and more thorough surface pull
verization are required.
Recent practice has been tending to-
ward deeper summer cultivation. SO
that five or six inches OF loose. finely
divided soil Is now obtained where
formerly half that depth was eonsid-
cred adequate. II has also been shown
that frequent stirring OF this fine sur
