Enumerators Think There Are
More Children Now Than
Two Years Ago.
REPORTS ARE NOT MADE

Although the school enumerators
who finished their work yesterday did
not take the census of the city this
year as they did two years ago, they
believe the city's population is greater
than that shown by the Y. NJ. B. c., in
its recent report at the Saturnalia
The enumerators took the census two
years ago and found approximately os
many citizens as did the Y. NJ. B. c
last month. That there has been gain
since this time is shown by the fact
there was q fairly good gain in the
enumeration of the school children this
year over the report of last year.

Some of the old-time dairymen are
coming around to the belief that red
clover such as was grown around Den
yer twenty-five or thirty years ago, Is
better forage for the production Of
milk than is alfalfa as grown nova
days. Certain 1t Is that we are not
now getting the quality Of milk that
was produced quarter Of a century
ago, when nearly everybody had a
little patch of clover 1t was quite
natural, however that we should have
exchanged the old friend for the new
for the reason that red clover is bien-
NAL in it's habit of growth and under
the most ideal conditions will not fur
nish more than two cuttings of hay
in a season. On the other hand, al
falfa is a perennial plant, and when
once established will continue to pro-
duce four and frequently five crops
in a season for several years in sue
cession, and this is why our dairymen
have chung to 1t through all these
years like a pup to a root. We are
10th to concede that red clover is the
better forage in the production of
milk, but 1t does look that way, and
we know farmers in different parts
of the State who are taking up its
culture quite extensively.-De

It ia we'll known that there is con-
siderable risk of introducing new
weeds by the purchase Of manure and
hay and other feeding stuffs. E. l.
Oswald, of the Maryland experiment
station, undertook to obtain more def
mite information on this point, espe-
cially as regards dissemination
through manure, by studying the eff
feet of the fermentation Of manure
handled in different ways and of pass
ing through the digestive systems Of
animals on the vitality of various
seeds, including seeds of about fifty
of the worst weeds found in Maryland.
In experiments in which the manure
remained for six months in barn
yard heap and for a short while in
piles, as when shipped in carload lots
from cities, 1t was found that in the
first case there was no danger, and
in the second case little danger of dis
tributing live weed seeds.

The first step in keeping cream
sweet is to keep 1t as clean as pos
sible. Clean cream cannot be produced
by filthy methods of milking nor by
handling the cream or milk in unclean
utensils. Milk cans, stirrers and pals
should be thoroughly scalded in hot
water and dried and exposed to the
sunlight and pure air.
The next step is to remove the ami
NAL heat from the cream as soon as
possible after separating. Run the
cream from the separator into a con-
venient utensil for cooling. A 3 or s.
gallon shotgun can is most convent
ent. Cool the cream in we'll water
bv stirring. In few minutes 1t can
be reduced to the temperature Of the
water. After the cream is cooled 1t
can be added to the cream contained
in the supply can used in delivering
cream to the station. The cream sup
pIy can. while being filed and held for
delivery, should be kept In water at
az near the temperature OF freshly
pumped water as possible. The aver
age temperature Of we'll water in
Kansas is about Sc degrees. With 1t
cream can easily be held at So or so
degrees, and at this temperature will
remain sweet for delivery In good
shape at the station-Kansas Farmer.
