One of the serious drawbacks to the
production of alfalfa is the growth of
and competition with weeds of various
kinds. There are both winter as well
as summer weeds to bother in the
growing of this very valuable hay
crop. For winter pests, the chick weed
and the dead nettle the most trouble
some, while crab grass, rag weeds
and other common weeds must be
fought continuously during the sum-
mer. Often entire fields are taken pos
session of by the above named enc
mics even where every possible pre-
caution has been taken. And 1t is only
by persistent effort that all the fields
are not overcome by them.
1t is now being generally recognized
that the best way to keep weeds under
control is by narrowing or cultivating
the crop. This work may best be done
after each cutting, Just as soon as the
crop can be shocked or taken from the

II farmers generally appreciated the
real objects Of soil cultivation, and
would adopt the use of more modern
cultivating implements than are COM
monty used, more crops could be made
on the same soil with much less time
and expense.
Every one recognizes that one object
Of cultivation Is to kill weeds, This,
however, is not the only reason. Aside
from killing weeds, soil cultivation
should aid in the conservation Of the
soil moisture by putting the ground in
such condition that more water will
enter in the form of rain. In addition
to this, cultivation should conserve
the water of the soil by keeping 1t
loose, open in nature, and thereby pre-
vent evaporation from the surface.
Incidentally, as the soil is made more
open, a greater amount of air enters,
the plants are fed better, the root sys-
TEN of the crops spread more freely,
and at the same time the activities of
beneficial soil bacteria are promoted.
In the cultivation Of the soil for any
of the field crops, it is not necessary
to go very deep to accomplish all the
above objects. In fact it has been
shown by experiments that shallow
cultivation, such as may be done with
harrows and small cultivators, is much
more effective than the deeper plow-
ing, such as Is done with the double
shovels. Not only is 1t more effective
to cultivate shallow. but it is far
cheaper to do so.
When good seed bed has been pre-
pared for the ordinary field crops, and
the seed planted on the level" the
first cultivation may best be done with

Dirty Milk.

Milk is about the most univer-
sally used food for the reason
that it is the only food that can
be used in the earlier years of
childhood, and is almost as ex-
tensively used as meat by persons
of maturer growth.
The milk standards law passed
by the last legislature includes as
its most important feature pro-
vision that milk which contains
visible dirt shall not be sold. OF
course every man who buys bot
tied milk has noticed occasionally
a small deposit of dirt In the bot
tom of the bottle. This means
that this milk has been handled
under unsanitary conditions and
that manure from the cows flank
dust from the stable or dirt from
the hands or person Of the mixer
have been allowed to get into 1T.
In whatever way this dirt is in
troduced it carries with it large
numbers of bacteria. These may
not only turn the milk sour but
they may, and often do, produce
disease, and many epidemlcs of
typhoid, diphteria and septic
sore throat have been carried by
milk. Milk, therefore, which
contains visible dirt ought not to
be accepted by the consumer. If
you find dirt in your mllkman's
attention to the law. If the con-
dition does not get better notify
the nearest inspector of the state
food and drugs department.. Do
not fail to tell your milkman in
this connection that the fine for
violation of the law is not less
than $40 and costs for the first
offense.

field, If the ground is not too wet. By
starting the job Immediately after the
removal of the hay, the weeds will be
easier killed or checked, since they
are small at this time, having been
shaded from the alfalfa.
Almost any kind of harrow will
serve for this purpose, but narrow
spring tooth may be best. Where this
can not be had, the spike tooth or the
disk may be substituted. 1t is essen
tial that the disk be used in such a
way that too many of the plants are
not cut off by the disks.
To one who has not followed the
practice before, it may seem that the
cultivation is too severe for the crop,
but the experience of those who fol-
low the plan regularly shows that it
Is beneficial Not only are the weeds
killed or held in check, but it seems
that the soil cultivation helps the fol-
lowing crops,-J G. Pridmore, Uni
versity of Tennessee.

the weeders, or wide section spike
tooth harrows; for these implements
enable one to accomplish all that could
be accomplished with slower pro-
cess, such as is usually followed. The
weeders and harrows do so much more
In a given length of time, and are,
therefore, much cheaper to operate.
When the crops are so large that these
rapid-working tools can not be used
longer, cultivators doing the most
rapid and most effective work should
be used. Rapidly in the work can not
be too strongly emphasized, and for
that reason the implement that re-
quires more than one operation to the
row to give thorough cultivation
should be discarded.
The time of and the number of cul-
tivations to give must be governed by
conditions. Generally speaking. after
each rain, when the soil Is rapidly
evaporating the moisture supply, the
land should be cultivated, as we said
above, to save the water. When there
are weeds of any kind to kill, cultiva-
ton should be done, When the ground
for any reason has become compact,
cultivation should be done.
Knowing the objects of cultivation,
and the fact that deep blowing Is not
at all essential to the profitable pro-
duction of crops, and that there is real
economy in the use of the shallow
rapid-working implements, and that by
this means we must keep good
mulch on the soil to accomplish one
Of the objects of the work, we are
ready to go forward to do our June
cultivation.-J. G. Pridmore, Univer-
sity of Tennessee.

Diseased Operatives in Food.
Handling Establishments


Do you know that the men who
handle the food for your kitchen
are free from disease?
Probably you have never given
the matter any serious thought,
nor considered the matter very
important one. Nevertheless, if
you desire to protect the health
of your household you should
keep on the lookout. Many a
case of consumption, venereal
disease, ETC., has been transmit
ed by diseased operatives in food
handling esta blishments. The ty-
phoid convalescent may in some
cases transmit the disease to
other persons.
The sanitary food law of Tenn
esee forbids persons suffering
from "any contagious or infec-
tiou disease" having anything to
do with the food supply, and fix
es the punishment for both such
diseased persons and their en-
ployers for violation of the law.
If you know of any instances
where the law is violated notify
your health officer and write the
facts to this department at Nash
vile.
