GET Rio OF THE WEEDS

At an open meeting of the
Woman's Club in November, the
question of overcoming the growth
of weeds was discussed and it was
decided to appeal to the people in
early spring to keep the weeds down
on their own property and cultivate
flowers and grass.
Weeds are plants growing where
they are not desired, they often
must be radicated upon land that
has become foul under neglect.
Upon fields and lawns the two prin-
cipal ways of management are to
make more grass grow or to pillow
the land and grow short rotation
crops, especially such as include
inter tillage crops like potatoes,
beans and turnips. The one neces-
sity to observe in combating per-
ennial weeds is to prevent their for.
ming leaves and thus celebrating
food. Ground should be kept free
of weeds towards autumn, thus pre-
venting re-seeding for the follow
year. The Woman's Home Com
panion for March gives some good
ideas tor a one season garden.

Pres. Woman's Club.

Why Cream Te$tsVary
An Important Bulletin of the Subject, by c. H.
Eckles. Professor Of Dairying, State Of Missouri

amount of fat remaining in the skim
milk but by the proportion of the
whole that is taken out as cream and
as skim milk. In other words, at a
lower speed more skim milk goes
into the cream.
The temperature of the milk sepa-
rated varies on the farm to some
extent from day to day. While
there is great deal of difference
with different makes of separators
in regard to the effect of tempera-
ture, on the test the rule is that the
colder the milk the smaller the
amount of cream and the higher the
test. Variations due to tempera-
ture of the milk undoubtedly are
not as great as the variation due to
the speed. If cream tests 80 per
cent when the milk is separated at
80 degrees, it may from some ma
chimes test as high as 40 per cent
when separated at 20 degrees. I'm
der average conditions, however, on
the farm cream will not vary more
than 3 or 4 per cent of fat due to
the changes of temperature that are
apt to be found. Separating the
milk too cold also results in loss
of cream in the skim milk but this
is not the cause of the variations in
the per cent of fat in the cream.
Ordinarily the rate of inflow into
the hand separator is regulated by
float and does not vary to any
great extent. Occasionally, how
ever, the faucet is not fully opened
and the inflow is, for this reason,
less than usual. At times the sup
ply can be kept nearly full during
most of the time the machine is
running, and at other times allowed
to be nearly empty. This may
cause small variation in the test.
When the supply can is kept nearly
full there is more pressure and more
milk flows into the bowl. If less
than the regular quantity flows into
the bowl, the tendency is to in
crease the per cent of fat in the
cream. A difference may be made
of from 1 to 2 per cent with most
separators by changing the level of
the milk in the supply can.
The per cent of fat in the mi TX
separated has a marked effect on
the per cent of fat in the cream. 1t
is common impression that more
cream is obtained from milk rich in
fat than that poor in fat, but such
is not the case. The richness of
the milk separated effects the quail
ty but not the quantity of crea N
and practically the same amount is
obtained whether the milk has a
high or low per cent of fat. 1t is a
we'll known fact that the milk of an
entire herd may vary in butter fat
from one day to another due to
weather or excitement, and as the
COW advances in the period of lacta-
ton the richness of milk increases.
A number of fresh COWS almost al
