USING THE DISC HARROW.
A Very Efficient Implement, But Only
When Handled in Just the
Right Way.

The disc as form of soil cultivator
is becoming constantly more popular;
but it must be used right to be effective.
An expert with the disc harrow says:
want to say an encouraging word
for the disc harrow. Not all soils are
adapted for it's use-exceedingly stony
land is ill-fitted for its use, nor perhaps
the heavy, sticky clays. But upon loamy
soils that are loose and upon which sod
quickly forms after seeding there is nc
tool to compare to the heavy disc. 1t
seems a waste of money to buy the
small light machines. Farmers often
say: my team is light, cannot draw
those big 2O-inch discs, weighted" All
right, then you won't do much business.
These small teams always mean poor
cultivation-upon these heavy sods
there must be given the draft of three or
four horses of good weight-not less
than 1900 pounds. Upon the machine
besides the driver may be added an ex-
ira load of stone to put the discs down
at least five inches, and if the sod is not
torn up go deeper. The field may look
uneven when finished, but a spring
tooth or smoothing harrow will do the
leveling and the soil will have been
thoroughly mixed and the cultivation If
prolonged for two weeks will approx
mate the old-fashioned summer fallow
And If carried along periodically for
four to six weeks it will reduce the stub
born quack grass. Cheap disc sharpen
ers are upon the market costing not
more than $3.50 to So that will do the
work effectually. These sharp discs
will do more work with less weight and
somewhat reduced draft.

BITTER FLAVOR IN CHEESE
Dairy Authorities Have Tried
to Solve in Vain.

In discussing the means of getting
rid OF bitter flavor in cheese, at a
conference of dairy instructors at OF
tawa, Canada, Mr.. Publow said:
When the whey is delivered back
to the farms we follow this plan: We
have the tanks thoroughly cleaned and
then the day when the whey does not
go back, the farmers have an oppor-
tunity to thoroughly clean the cans.
Where this has been done, there has
been no trace of the bitter flavor at
the factory the next day. We have the
bitter flavor in some factories from
which the whey does not go back,
some of them being the cleanest fac
tories we have in eastern Ontario. In
one factory, think the cleanest WIS.,
tied this year in eastern Ontario, out
of the milk of 81 patrons only that Of
four patrons had this bitter flavor,
and the curd made from their milk
was as bitter as bitter elm. The curd
broke down quite soft and would
pucker your tongue. Three of these
patrons had their cans under trees,
with no tree near it, but they MIXED
in stable that was not clean, and
the yard where the milk stood was not
clean. When the cans were removed
from under the trees and thoroughly
cleaned, and the stable of the other
patron was whitewashed and the milk
taken care of, the trouble ceased right
away.
eve find the bitter flavor is the
most difficult thing to handle in the
making of cheese. 1t seems to be diff
ferent from the ordinary bitter and
open cheese. The more the acid de-
veloped in the curd, the more open
the cheese would be. We get the best
results by having the milk come in
sweet. But the milk from one section
was SO ripe that the curd showed acid
when it was soft, there was bitterness
in the cheese, and they would open up
no matter what we did. The open
ness was in little circles or Sits across
the cheese, and in every case the taste
was little bitter.
In going through the country |
have been surprised to see how many
cans are under trees. But there are
many cases in which the cans are
kept away from the trees. where the
people are clean and the milk cared
for in first-class fashion, and yet we
find this bitter flavor. Unless the in
lection is in the grass as we'll as IN
the trees, l do not understand how it
can infect milk under such circum-
stances"

Electricity in Farm Work.

In the application of electricity to
everyday work Germany has gone
further than any other country. How to
adapt electricity to blowing has been the
most difficult problem in this new
branch of agriculture. The commonest
form of automobile plow has a series OF
knives that cut into the soil and turn 1t
over. The towing system, however, has
given most satisfactory results. The
pillow is drawn across the field by cable
and drum, while the operator, mounted
on the fore part Of the instrument, regu-
lates it to suit himself. Both surface
and subsoil plows are operated In for
ward and backward gangs, cutting the
soil from few feet t. 20 or more in
width

Farmers Were Buncoed Badly

The farmers in several states tried
to get laws passed last winter to pro-
tect them against reckless automobile
drivers, but in nearly every case were
sold out; for the laws that were en-
acted were actually dictated by auto
makers, in their interests. In some
states the country road speed limit
was raised from ten miles an hour to
20, and farmers hands were tied so
they can do nothing. In short, the
rural people were buncoed.-Farm

A New Venture in the journalistic
Field Of New Mexieo-Published
BY N. s. Rose.

N. S. Rose, publisher of the Deming
Graphic, and formerly publisher of the
Cerrillos Register, is in the field with
a new publication, the Southwestern
Advertiser, whose purpose is an ambi-
tious one, that is to furnish month
ly digest of the development of the
southwest and the Republic of
Mexico to the manufacturers and deal
ers throughout the United States. AS
Mr.. Rose, who is also a member of the
New Mexico Bar and is the possessor
of considerable executive ability, has
made a success of every one of his
ventures in New Mexico, the Adver-
tiser will undoubtedly also bring good
returns to him besides filling a place
in New Mexico journalism that has
thus far not been presented. The
first issue of the Advertiser, is an
eight page quarto, filled with inter
esting industrial items culled from the
press of Texas. New Mexico. Arizona
and Mexico and should be of value to
every manufacturer and dealer who
seeks market in the southwest.

No Longer Connected With the

James H. Nicholson formerly of
this CITY, is in trouble at Ell Paso ac-
cording to the Ell Paso papers. He
was arrested for being drunk and dis
orderly and when searched at police
headquarters had the bank book of w.
B. Bull upon his person and could
give no account of how it came into
his possession. While at police head.
quarters he managed to elude the Off
GERS and ran away but was captured a
few minutes afterwards. A short time
later while still at the police station
he made another break for liberty, but
this time successfully. The assertion
that Nicholson is still in the employ
of the New Mexican Printing Company
is erroneous, as is the claim that he is
captain of the National Guard Com
pany in this city, he having been re-
moved for the good of the service by
Governor Otero. The Ell Paso police
have Nicholson located and will arrest
him whenever wanted. An effort may
be made to bring him back to Santa
Fe to face number of charges.

OFFICIALS OF THE
ROCK ISLAND MEET
Plans Decided Upon for the construc.
ton Of Causeway to Connect
Galveston With Mainland.

spending two days inspecting termina
facilities and Investigating large in
terests recently acquired by the Rock
Island Railway system, President Lo
rec and Third Vice President Winchel
left for the north. Other officials OF
the Rock Island met the party here.
Plans for causeway to connect the
island and the mainland were practi
cally agreed upon. They will cost ap.
proximately $2,0OO,00O. This will do
away with the single track bridge,
which is the only avenue of commun-
ication that now exists for the i'm.
mense commerce that seeks this port.
The Rock Island will control valu-
able terminals here and prove an i'm
mense revenue producer if other roads
do not come in. 1t is understood the
Rock Island and Frisco will use the
Galveston, Houston and Henderson
Road between Houston and Galveston,
until an independent line is built by
the Rock Island.
The Rock Island recently sought to
acquire from the Southern Pacific the
Houston and Northern be-
tween Houston and Galveston, but
failed
The independent line to be construct
ed will parallel this branch of the
Southern Pacific and in connection
with the line the Frisco is building
from Brownsville to Galveston, means
a spirited competition between the
Southern Pacific and the Rock Island
for south Texas traffic. Some railroad
men even predict that it will eventual
ly end in open war between these in
terests. The Rock Island trains will
be running into Galveston within a
month.
