Weed Seeds In Manure.

1t is 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 a barn
yard heap and for a short while in
piles, as when shipped in carload lots
from cities, it was found that in the
first case there was no danger, and
in the second case little danger Of dis.
tributing live weed seeds.

out, the points being spread out so
that the bed piece can easily drop into
the space when the ditch Is two feet
or more in depth. The front digger
is the same size, but set in the middle
All are held firmly by brace rods and
sharpened like the fiat end of pickax
A wheel is set under the front end to
steady the movement and Is braced
backward An adjustable draw iron
is placed above, through which the
rod may pass at any height suited to
the depth of the ditch.
The handles are also adjustable,
raising them as the digger drops low
er
In hard subsoils one will save the
cost of this simple device in digging
seventy-five rods of ditch. In our
hardpan sections of the east, which al
ways need drainage, one does not feel
encouraged to dig bitches with pick
and shovel when more than half the
energy is required to loosen the dirt.
With this machine the toughest sub
soil when dry handles as rapidly as
loose sand.

Then there's our gasoline engine. ]
kept track of it once for three weeks.
It pumped water to the house and to
the barn, separated the cream of TWEEN
ty cows and churned and worked all
the butter on gallons of gasoline at
Is cents a gallon. 1t saws the wood
and works the corn-shredder and
makes itself generally more useful in
its way than the average hired man
and at a small fraction of his cost.
Then, the barn is a great comfort.
There's a cement basement under the
stable-the only one of its kind in
this part of the State. The manure
falls through traps in the stable floor
and Is preserved intact and put out
on the land at least four times year.
That's another thing that gives us no
end of advantage over our neighbors.
They pile their fertilizer in their
barnyard and let the best part Of 1t
bleach and drain and wash away with
out returning it to the soil which alb
solutely demands 1t.
We have $50 acres of level, black
soil that plows like soft putty. Be-
sides corn, oats and wheat, we raise
hay. fax and enough vegetables for
our own use. But we have found that
we can make far more money from
our pure bred cows than directly from
the soil-Success.

Peaches are more liable to rot In
damp and muggy weather than when
cool and dry. Some varieties are
more subject to rot than others. That
all varieties with fuzz on them are
less liable to rot than the smoother
varieties does not agree with my ex-
perience.
Neither can correct conclusion be
drawn from one or two seasons ex'
perience, for soil, location, fertilization
and culture also are factors in the rot
problem. Fruit on a rankly-grown
tree is much more subject to rot than
on one more moderately grown. Yet
/ think the weather has more to do
with 1t than any one factor. One
year all our early peaches were quite
subject to rot, while the next year
there was very little rot Yet with un.
favorable weather Champions were
practically a total loss, Crosby, stump
and late varieties practically free.
do not think the matter of fuzz VS..
rot worth considering as a factor In
setting an orchard, except people do
not wish to buy fuzz.
In regard to hardness of bud, a
good frost peach well grown will stand
more cold than any other peach tree
we ever had on our grounds. And
varieties Of the frost type (if l may
call them so), Crosby, Pratt's, Hills
Chill, etc, are more hardy in bud
than many other varieties, especially
Of the Crawford class, but with the
varieties of the Chinese type, which
bear young and have hardy bud,
what little hardness, If any, the fuzzy
varieties possess above them Is much
more than offset by their failings.-'

Eruit Tree Doctor Fake.

The latest fake practiced on farm
ers is done by man who visits the
MACE and claims that he has been
sent out by the State to examine fruit
tree diseases, says an exchange. The
fellow will go over the orchard and
mark all trees which he claims are af-
fected. Shortly after his visit con-
federate will appear and say that he
has a preparation which will cure the
disease for which the tree is con-
demned and will contract to inject a
fluid into the roots for a certain price.
Both men are swindlers and should be
run off the place with shotgun. The
only men empowered to inspect orch
ards are the county inspectors, who
ars known to most fruit growers.

Keeping Cream Sweet.

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 anil
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 or s.
gallon shotgun can Is most convent
ent. Cool the cream in we'll water
by stirring. In few minutes 1t can
be reduced to the temperature of the
water. After the cream is cooled it
can be added to the cream contained
in the supply can used in delivering
cream to the station. The cream sup
ply can, while being filled and held for
delivery, should be kept in water at
as 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 SIS or 60
degrees, and at this temperature will
remain sweet for delivery in good
shape at the station.-Kansas Farmer.

Red Glover VS.. Alfalfa.

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
davs Certain it 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-
niaI in it's habit of growth and under
the most ideal conditions will not fur'
nish more than two cuttings of hay
In q 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 q season for several years in sue
cession. and this is why our dafrymen
have clung to it through all these
wears like a pup to a root. we are
10th to concede that red clover Is the
hotter forage in the production of
milk but it does look that way, and
we know farmers in different parts
of the State who are taking up Its
culture quite extensively-Denver
Field and Farm.
