Delightful Bathing the Year Round,

Few people realize that right here
in Utah, we have Il of the most
derful bathing pools in the world. But
those who are acquainted with these
splendid baths will testify that the
Sanitarium Baths, 80 West Third
South, Salt Lake City, rank second
to none, either in the delightful op-
portunity for a comfortable swim at
any season of the year, or the highly
beneficial properties of the natural
hot sulphur water.
Not only is bathing a pleasure I'M
der these conditions. but many people
who have been %grievously troubled
with rheumatism or nervous disorders
have actually experienced full recov-
Sanitarium.
The Sanitarium Baths invite you to
come and bring your family and enjoy
a swim in this wonderful water. The
pools are emptied and cleaned twice
every week and lady and gentlemen
attendants as we'll as instructors make
it a desirable place for you to bring
your family, for catering to the bet
ter element" is the secret of the
highly desirable patronage enjoyed by
the Sanitarium Baths.
In connection with the large swim
ming pools, are conducted very fine
Turkish Baths. Tub baths and pri
vate plunges are also an attraction
to many, all going to produce a bath
ing resort equalled by few and sur
passed by none.
It's just another of Utah's natura
wonders developed for the bettermen
of mankind. Adv.

In a spring house in which the water
stands at the proper height and is
continually running through the
trench.
This is an effective and economical
method, both as to labor and expense
OF construction. AS in the cas OF the
shallow-pan system the real efficiency
OF this system of separation depends
upon the temperature Of the milk.
The best method Of separating milk
vet devised involves a considerable
outlay OF money and the farmer ex-
poets better results from 1t than any
other method. naturally-and he gets
them too. Whether a man makes OF

WAYS OF '-PARATING MILK
BEST Method Yet Devised Is CentrI-
fugal Machine and Involves Con-
siderable Outlay of Money.


The three systems of separating
milk in most common use are: The
shallow pan. deep setting and centri-
fugal.
The setting of milk in pans or
crooks, letting the milk stand for
from - to "a hours. depending upon
the temperature. and then skimming
the cream. is known as the shallow
pan system. This is the Oldest meth
cd Of separating cream from milk,
and varies greatly in efficiency, de-
pending very largely on how quickly
the milk is cooled after coming from
the COW and how low a temperature
Is secured during the Dreaming pro-
cess.
The deep-setting system is used al
most as much as the shallow-pan.
The essentials Of this system are cans
six to eight inches in diameter and
about two feet long. which are placed
in cold water. Often a trench is dug

factory results. Extensive expert
ments are being made with this grass
and arrangements have been made so
that sufficient seed will be grown for
all demands.
Rhodes grass is continuing to show
its high value for Florida n Gulf
coast conditions. American-grown
seed will b. produced to meet the
continued growing demands.
vetcheG
Interest in the cultivation OF
vetches, especially the hairy vetch,
continues to increase, and there Is
probably now a greater acreage grown
than ever before. In many parts OF
the United States seed Is now being
grown successfully. One difficulty In
the production of hairy-vetch seed,
which ordinarily must be grown with
a small grain crop, has been the sep
aration of the seeds.
BY means of the spiral seed sepa-
rator. this can easily be accomplished
and these machines are nov available
to American farmers. There is a
son to believe that within the near
uture sufficient American seed Will
be raised to meet the demands n
probably reduce the price of seed
much below what is at present asked
The department has recently intro
duced the purple vetch. which is
especially promising, inasmuch as IT
Yields as much hay and more SEED
per acre than the common vetch.
Cowpeas.
The cowpea investigation, especiai'
ly in breeding, has resulted In the
production of a considerable number
of exceedingly promising new varie
ties. some of which, especially from
the view point of seed production, are
apparently superior to any OF the
standard varieties.
Alfalfa.
The breeding of improved varieties
of alfalfa, especially hardy ant
drough-enduring strains, has devel
oped new possibilities through tho
finding of forms of yellow-1owere'
M~edicago falcata that produce new
plants from true lateral roots. Gel
tain of the forms that possess thii
character are good forage types, AM
II is hoped that by hybridizing then
with selected plants of common a
falfa an extremely vigorous strait
will result.
AS a result of the recent introdu1
ton of new roots of seed of Peruvia'
alfalfa. the chances of establishin
this variety in the southwest are bt
coming extremely favorable. Peruvia
alfalfa has so thoroughly demonstra'
ed its value as a quick-growing strai
for warm climates that little difficult
Is anticipated in getting it thorough

this amount q, 210, $50 acres were sur

Dwarf Kafir Corn Has Proved a Prof
table Farm Crop.
The department Of agriculture an
nounced that the dwarf kafir corn has
been extensively distributed through
federal states and commercial agen-
cies and has proved to be a very de-
sirable and profitable farm crop.
Feterita has awakened much interest
as a desirable type Of white durra.
Both faterita and dwarf kafir are
adapted to harvesting with the ordi-
nary grain header, which add greatly
to the value as crops for extensive
farming.
The department has taken a promi
nent part in the campaign now being
waged for the planting of pure anc
viable broom corn seed. Experiments
with dwarf broom corn tend to prove
that this crop is usually sown too
thickly for best results.

Potato Diseases.
The appearance in a destructive
way of several new diseases of po-
tatoes in large producing areas has
caused great alarm and heavy loss in
certain of the important potato pro-
ducing districts of the Rocky Noun
tain territory. Among these mala-
dies, heretofore unknown in this III
try, are leaf-roll, known in Europe for
a number of years, curly-dvarf,
r~osette, and the mosaic disease.
The attention of the Psychologists in
charge of this line of work has been
devoted exclusively to a study of the
cause and methods for controlling
these troubles. AS a result of the in
out by which the resistance of the
foliage of potato varieties or seed
lings may be tested in the greenhouse
during the winter which will greatly
facilitate the work of potato breed
ing and will also furnish a method
of determining whether seed potatoes
are free from this disease. Recent in
v~estigations have proved that the dry
rot of potatoes, which has been de-
structive in certain regions, is not
caused by Fasarium, as was previ-
ously supposed, but that this disease
is due to other wound parasites.
Date Ripening.
The work during the last year has
proved beyond a doubt hat the arti
fetal %ripening of dates such as the
Degelet Moor may be carried on
cheaply and efficiently merely by
keeping the full-sized though imma
ture fruit in a moist, warm condition
Fruit so ripened is cleaner and more
attractive than that ripened on the
tree. Thus the failure of the Degelei
Moor to ripen on the tree as it does
in some parts of the Sahara Desert
which at first seems a great draw
back to date culture in California
turns out to be an actual advantage
permitting the ripening of the frui
more uniformly and more Efficient,
than is possible in the open air, where
the conditions cannot be controlled.
Date Propagation.
The rapid propagation of date off
shoots is a matter of great import
ance to the development of the dat

Just outside the entrance to the

apartment house where many young
officers live. and baby carriages are
a not infrequent sight in this vicinity.
Not long ago the commander OF the
yard had a notice posted on one side

enter. because they frightened the
horses. Shortly afterwards the fol

the other side OF the gate:
