The ripening Of cream for
churning is caused by certain
class of bacteria, which usually
get into the milk from the air.
They are also transmitted from
the churn and milk vessels. Also,
the proper ripening of cream de
ponds upon the temperature up
on which it is held. If the cream
is held at too low a temperature
the bacteria are held in check
hence cannot work normally.
Often interfering species of bac-
terra get into the milk and cream
and destroy the effect of those
that cause proper cream ripening.

Getting Rid Of Weeds.

The problem of weed eradica-
ton is one of the most serious
which confronts the farmers of
Iowa and adjoining States. Dur
ing the last few years a method
of killing weeds has been discov-
cred which promises to greatly
tighten the annual toll which the
farmer pays to these pests. This
new method consists in spraying
the weeds with certain destruc-
tive materials, known as herbi-
cides. Some of these herbicides,
of which iron sulphate is the
most promising, will kill nearly
all kinds of common weeds with
out injuring the oats, wheat, or
|
other crop in which they happen
to be growing. In fact, in several
cases the sprayed grain was
thriftier and yielded more than
that which did not receive the
treatment. This method is es-
pecially valuable for destroying
mustard in grain fields and dan
delions and other weeds on
! lawns.
Bulletin No. 1O5 of the Iowa
Experiment Station, on Notes
on Eradication of Weeds" gives
the results of experiments carried
on by Prof. Pammel and his as
sistants along this line. The
bulletin also contains a chapter
/
on the selection of machinery
for spraying weeds, by Prof.
Davidson of the Agricultural
Engineering Department. Meth
DDS of exterminating quick grass
and other troublesome weeds
that cannot be killed by spray
ing are also taken up. Full
notes on the habits of growth of
the common weeds are given.
This bulletin should be in the
hands of every farmer who is
having trouble with the weed
problem. 1t can be obtained
without cost by applying to C. F.
Curtiss, Director for Iowa Expe-
riment Station, Ames, Iowa.

Keeping poultry dry is of more
importance than keeping them
warm; if they are dry they will
be comfortable For this reason
the hen house roof should be
tight to exclude all rains. The
same principle applies to the
poultry grounds. They should be
well drained and dry for health
in summer and comfort in win
ter. The hen that must tramp
in the water and mud in winter
with wet and cold feet will not
thrive and lay.

The following simple and mex
pensive method of Kidding hogs
of lice is suggested by an east
ern hog grower. Prepare q
wallow for hogs where they can
get into water all over. Let
the water be renewed often
enough to keep it from becoming
unhealthful. A wallow that they
will root out themselves will an
swer if there is water suffi cient.
On to this water pour a quart or
more, according to size, of crude
oil. When they come out of this
they will get enough oil on them
to kill the most of the lice as
they will dip themselves repeat
edly without anybody's help they
will soon be free from lice"

For Farmers.

tUi t0ItitClSs
Turn the poultry into the or
chard in early fall. They will de-
stroy many an insect that has
made arrangements for his win
ter's board.
Grape juice, unfermented, is a
delicious drink; every farmer can
have it. Grape juice, fermented,
has its disadvantages, and every
farmer should do without it.
Place small quantity of cot
ton seed meal around the newly
set strawberry plants or around
the old ones. Cotton seed meal
generates vitality in the plant.
If the haul to town is far, be
sure that the bed of the wagon
you transport apples in is resting
on a set of good springs. Fruit
should not be permitted to be-
come bruised.
The old brood SOW should be
kept as long as she remains
vigorous. She knows better how
to raise her sucking pigs than
the younger mother.
The hog destined for the mar
ket has a short existence, and
the profit upon him is in ratio to
the amount eff healthy forcing
he is given. The young, grow
ing hog should be pushed as fast
as possible.
Flaxseed fed carefully will
keep the colts coat in fine con-
dition, bowels free, and will pro-
mote an even development to
the muscles of the legs and the
whole body.

vidual. When a hen is sitting

Gilt edged butter need cream

UT. Cooks Polar Claims.

Dr. Cook has never claimed
anything but to have a fair hear

Time At The North Pole.

At the north pole time is moth

the north pole it would be unnec-

are always at IL o'clock and can't
walk out of the hotel without
walking south. All times of day
meet at the pole, as the meeting

watch placed on the pole could
be made to point to the correct

WHAT WIFE SAYS "eoEs."
But 1t Sometimes Is Bad for the
Painting.

When property-owner knows moth
ing about paint it is bad for the
property-owner, and bad for the paint
er. 1t would not be so If the property
owner would always hire skilled
painter, and then really leave every
thing to him. But the HORSEPOWER so
often fools himself on one or the other
of these things.
The skilled painter in every commu-
nifty has some of the most incompetent
competitors that ever vexed a consci-
entious workman or contractor, and
the incompetents get jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place,
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as so
many property-owners boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
I'm not going to have that painters
mess around my house month";" the
wife says, and what wife says goes

If the painter stays away a few
days to allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: THAT painter s

| What chance does a painter have to do
good work for man who is continually
uagging at him and otherwise handi-
Gaping him without meaning it, OF
course)? A poor job is the inevitable
result of such interference.

snow, or gales of wind. The few ex-

the rule. The boisterous department
of the elements on. that day, however,
are easily accounted for by the fact
that the Vernal equinox is then near

to the date and place of Patrick's

was born about the year 1896 in the
British Roman province Of Valentia, at
a place near the Clyde, not far from
the modern Dumbarton, called from
him Fitzpatrick.
About the year 432 he began his
