KILL THE WEEDS.

Cultivation of corn should begin
with thorough work to kill the
weeds, and cultivator with long,
coarse teeth may do the work best,
scooping of the witch grass and bury

the corn is we'll established it fills the
space between the rows with feeding

FEEDING WoRK TnAMs-

The problem of feeding work teams
In a way that will get the largest
amount of work out OF them has al
ways been hard one. We may give
a team the best of care during the
spring months, but when the real
hard work Of the year comes along
the horses have run down and are
In poor condition for heavy work
The facts are we work horses too
hard and they are put into hard SER
vice without being properly seasoned.
One OF the largest users OF horses in
Chicago Keeps his horses at work
only four hours a day. The result
is his horses are always in the pink
Of condition, and they last from eight
to ten years, while the average life OF
a draft horse on city streets is four
years.
One should feed to get the greatest
amount Of service. Corn and clover
should now be replaced with oats

oats are as high as they are now.

CAUSES OF TAINTED MILK.

A noted Swiss scientist, DIR. GrebeI,
has formulated list of things which
cause the tainted conditions of milk
most frequently met with. They are
as follows:
1. Poor, decayed fodder, or ira
.tional methods of feeding.
2. Poor, dirty water used for
drinking water or for the washing Of
utensils.
3. Foul air in the COW stable, or
the cows lying in their own dung.
4. Lack OF cleanliness in milking;
manure particles on udder.
:. Keeping the milk long in too
warm, dirty places.
6. Neglecting to cool the milk rap.
idly, directly after milking.
2. Lack Of cleanliness in the care
of the milk, from which cause the
greater number of.milk taints arise.
8. Poor transportation facilities.
8. Sick COWS, udder diseases-and
the like
10. Cows being in heat.
IL. Mixing fresh and old milk in
the same can.
IL. Rusty tin pals and tin cans.

BANK GAZE LOCKS.
Robbsrles More Frequently Committed
BY EmnloNes than bY outsIders.

HoupeFlea more Frequently N~'''''
by Employees than By Outsiders
When new device is invented Its
author or its manufacturer tries 10
convince the public of its enormous
superiority over everything else win
the best OF intentions and in perfect
honesty, he sometimes INDUCES IN ex-
travagant claims. There may be truth
in what he says, but 1t is occasionally
mixed with error II is wise, there-
fore, to receive some of the statements
with caution. Here, for instance, Is
story put forward by the advocates Oh
one particular type of bank lock. The
point Of It all is that only a small pro-
portion Of the bank safe locks are SO
made that persons in the employ Of
the bank cannot steal the "combina-
ton" ANY one who knows much
about such devices knows that the COM
bination includes several numbers
say, &c, 40 and 30. In order to open
the lock, q person must rotate a knob
in one direction until an index points
TO its first number. Then he turns II
the other way to the second. Having
moved 1t once more till the index
points to the third provided there be
only three), the task is virtually COM
pleted. To steal the combination is TO
learn the secret OF the number, which
is ordinarily known only to two OF
three officials of bank, safe deposit
company, or other important business
house.
The pretence is put forward that few
locks are so guarded at the back-or
the inside surface Of the door-that
any one who knows much about such
things cannot get hold Of the secret IN
an interval ranging from half min
ute to two minutes All he needs, It is
asserted, is a screwdriyer. Ordinarily
during banking hours the safe door Is
left open for convenience, or, II not,
could be swung open on short notice.
OF course, any one in the employ OF
the bank would have a better chance 70
do this than an outsider. And 1t is as
serted that most Of the bank robberies
are committed by employees. AS an
extra precaution, it is customary from
time to time to change the combina-
ton, so that If anybody has once learn
ed the old one dishonesty the knowl-
edge will be useless.
There is, however, still another pro-
lection which has not been mentioned,
and which ought to thwart the designs
of persons who have the right figures
in the wrong way. Most bank safes
have a lock which can be opened only
at a certain hour, say 10 a. m. A clock
inside the dor is so connected with the
lock that before that time the COM
binaton won't work. Nothing short
Of dynamite will do the business at
any but the appointed hour. An UNI
faithful employee might, hide himself
and stay all night in bank, but the
secret would do him no good. The lock
would not surrender until the
usual time, when several other persons
would have arrlved.-New York Tri-
