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

The disc as form of soil cultivator
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 its 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 no
tool to compare to the heavy disc. 1t
seems waste of money to buy the
small light machines. Farmers often
say: my team is lisht, cannot draw
those big 20-inch discs, weighted" All
right, then you won't do much business.
These small teams always mean poor
cultiyation-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 II 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 II
prolonged for two weeks will approxi-
mate the old-fashioned summer fallow.
And II carried along periodically for
four to six weeks 1t 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
4 Difficult Problem Which Many
Dairy Authorities Have Tried
to Solve in Vain.

In discussing the means of getting
rid Of bitter flavor In cheese, al 4
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 ard
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 I WIS.,

four patrons had this bitter flavor,
and tie 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,
and the other had cans in the yard
with no tree near 1t, but they milkel
In a 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 mill,
taken care of, the trouble ceased right
away.
I'VE 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

veloped in the curd, the more open
the cheese would be. We get the bes,
results by having the milk come in
sweet. But the milk from one section
was SO ripe that the curd showed acid
when 1t 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 slits 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 aie
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
fection is in the grass as well as IN
the trees, l do not understand how Il
can infect milk under such circum-
stances"

May. Although eggs are sometimes
deposited by this insect upon healthy.
well-established trees, It evidently
prefers to select sickly or newly
transplanted ones. especially those
whose bark has been injured by ex-
posure to the sun. The eggs hatch
within few days after being depos-
tied. The young larva soon eats
through the bark and proceeds to bore
at some depth beneath the surface,
leaving behind It a fiattened channel.
Sometimes single borer will girdle
tree and cause its death. The larva
reaches its full growth by the end OF
the summer being then a pale-yellow-
ish grub about half an inch long, with
a broad. fiat head. During the winter
1t remains quiescent. The next spring

pleted in about three weeks. The
beetle then cuts an opening through
the bark and escapes to continue the
work Of destruction begun by its an
cestors During the warm part of the
day 1t may be seen flying about In the
hot sunshine.
There are three ways of combat.
ing the borer: Q) by destroying the
grubs while they are at work in the
tree; (2). by the application of some
substance that will prevent the eggs
being deposited or will destroy the
eggs and newly Matched larvae. and
(3) by wrapping the tree with some
thing that will prevent the females
gaining access to the bark. But. by
the best methods known, borers are
difficult insects to combat. The larvae
make their way into the wood so
soon after the eggs are deposited and
keep SO completely out of sight as
they work, that they may do much
injury before their presence is sus-
pected, and are difficult to kill when
detected. 1t Is a case where an ounce
of prevention is most decidedly more
effective and more economical than a
pound of cure.-Arizona Station.
