The WEIGHT of Milk

State College says that one gallon of
milk of average density weighs eight
pounds nine and half ounces. This
will vary slightly according to the
amount of cream in it. The greater
the proportion of cream the less will
be the weight as cream is lighter
than the milk. In the weighing of
cream the percentage of fat counts
largely. If the cream contains Is per
cent of butter fat it will weigh eight
pounds and six ounces. If it contains
35 per cent of fat it will weigh eight
pounds three ounces: 40 per cent,
eight pounds and one ounce

FACTS ABOUT ALFALFA

Alfalfa is deep feeder. Plow land
deeply.
Cut for seed when the middle clus-
tiers of seed pods are dark brown.
Six to ten bushels of seed is the
usual yield per acre.
Keep the weeds moved and raked
off the first season or they will choke
out the crop.
Cut for hay when the first flowers
appear. If cut in full bloom the hay
will be woody and less nutritious
Screen alfalfa seed before sowing,
to separate the dodder and other
weed seeds. Dodder is the worst
enemy to alfalfa
Alfalfa does not attain maturity TN
til the third or fourth year; there
fore do not SOW it expecting to get the
best results in less time.
1t is not safe to pasture either cat
tie or sheep on alfalfa, as they are

try and poultry products for one year

Calves are easily stunted. Keep
them growing, or else you will always
have an improbable animal on your
hands.
Glover and manure is a pretty good
combination for any farm, and maxi
mum crops may be grown wherever
they are used.
When a SOW will raise from seven
to eight pigs to litter, she is worth
keeping. 1t does not pay to fool with
sows that raise only four or five.
The training of the young colt should
be given to some level-headed person
The usefulness of the animal will de-
pend upon how well it has been ham

Hollow cement blocks may be used
for heavy foundation work, and are
equal to stone In fact, many con
slider them better than stone, because
of the air spaces.
Frequently farmers who set out
fruit trees get discouraged because
some of the trees kill out, others are
sickly looking and those that have
come into bearing show very inferior
fruit. Lack of proper care. Right
there is the whole trouble.
The best time to trim apple trees is

Use Best Broom Corn Seed

There is no crop in which this is
more important than broom corn.
This is raised exclusively for the
fibre, and the finer the fiber and the
better the color, the better the quail
ity, and therefore the greater the re-
turns realized. The cost of good seed
is about $3.50 per bushel which will
plant from eighteen to twenty acres.
The Improvement in the quality of
the brush will often result in an adj
vance of from SIS to $25 per ton on
the price, while the expense and labor
of raising good brush is no more
than for raising an inferior grade, on
which you lose in quality, quantity
and price. Buy your seed from re
liable dealers and it will make on
money.

OPERATING CREAM sEPARAToRs

1t is essential to understand that
the efficiency of cream separator
depends upon the manner of it's op--
GRAFTON, and if its work is to be uni
form it must be uniformly worked.
In other words the directions accom-
panying the machine when bought
must be faithfully followed if good re-
suits are obtained at all times.
A recent bulletin from the depart
ment of agriculture entitled Butter
Making on the Farm" devotes good
deal of space to the operation of
cream separators, and from it is sub
mitted the following summary of
points to be observed in running one:
First-The speed of the separator
must be uniform and up to the stand
ard required by the makers OF that
particular machine
Second-The temperature of the
milk should be such as will make it
flow readily; the warmer it is the
more perfect will be the separation.
Third The amount of milk that is
run through the machine should re-
main constant, and should not be in
creased over that which is intended
for the machine.
Fourth-The machine should be set
on solid base or foundation, so
that there will be no jar or shaking
about as it is turned, such as would
tend to interfere with the even flow
of the milk through the bowl and thus
destroy its efficiency in Swimming.
Fifth-The separator must be kept
thoroughly and scrupulously clean,
particular care being taken that none
of the tubes through which the milk
flows become INSTRUCTED in any way
Sixth--The test of the cream can
be readily changed by changing either
the cream outlet Or the skimming out

CARE OF HORSES

A collar that does not fit will have
about the same effect that an lift
ting shoe would have on a man. See
that the collar does not hang too wide
and that it does not fit too closely
against the sides of the neck. Adjust
the harness so the weight will be
equalized, and will not be on the
point of the shoulder Take a sponge
and soak the leather of the collar
with hot water. 1t will then become
pliable and more adaptable to the
shape of the shoulder. The gum
should be scraped off the collar and
it should be done without making the
leather rough. If the shoulders are
calloused, collar-pads are not needed
and it is better not to have them.
A diet omixed corn and oats is re-
garded as the best feed for the horse.
The corn, at least, should be ground,
cob and all. The feed will go little
further and the horse will do better
on it, If there are bad teeth the horse
will go down in esh on account
of starvation or indigestion before
the cause is noticed. i If just enough
hay is given to compel the horse to
clean up all that he throws out of the
manger, he will have sufficient.
The horse will be less liable to in
jury from work if only in moderate
flesh. If fed when hot or Immediately
after vigorous exercise, let him begin
on hay, as it cannot be eaten so rap
idly. There should be time for di
gestion before going to work, espe
cially if it is anything like hard work
or indigestion will be the result.

RAILROAD FEELS
STRONG ARM
OF LAW
PLATT BRINGS SUIT AGAINST
LOS ANGELES RAILROAD

CARSON, New, June 22.- A suit
was filed today against the Salt Lake
and Los Angeles Railroad Company
by United States Attorney Samuel
Platt, acting for the interstate com
merce commission, for alleged viola.
tion of the railroad law requiring the
railroads to keep their cars in repair.
The complaint has two charges, alleg-
ing, first that the railroad company
while carrying interstate commerce,
hauled caboose with imperative ap-
paratus, thus compelling brakemen to
go between the caboose and freight
ears to couple them; the second charge
alleges a violation of the railroad law
becausethe company engaged in inter
state commerce traffic ran train
hauled by and engine of imperative
apparatus, which also compelled the
brakemen to go between cars and the
engine to couple them.
This is the first suit of the kind
ever brought in Nevada by the inter
state commerce commission.
State officials are of the opinion
that the point has been reached when
the railroads will be called to time
and made to comply with the law.
While not SO stated, it is thought that
if the suit is successful and prosecu-
tion is secured, it viii be the forerun-
ner of similar suits.
The penalty for violation of this par
ticular law is fine of 800 for each
charge.

feature of alumni day at the Univer-

classes were holding reunion was the
re overy of the Old Chapel Bible which
mysteriously disappeared thirty years
ago.
The class of 1876 today returned the
hook to the university.
1t seems that one night In '76 the
seriors mischievously losked de-
cr pit old horse in the chapel. Fer
ing that the horse might chew the
pages of the Bible, they took the book
away with them to preserve it. The
affair then arorsed such storm in
college that nobody dared to return the
book and it has remained in possession
of the members of the class until to-
day.

In reference to the change in pas

it will aid materially in building up

pared to give definite figures, he was
sure, he said, that from quarter to
a half million dollars would be saved

the change. The distance from Reno
