KEEP THE COWS CLEAN
Pure Milk Cannot Be Secured
From a Filthy Animal.
Curry Comb and Brush as Essential In
Dairy Barn as In Horse Stable
Remove Bedding From the
Stalls Every Day.

The curry comb and brush are just
as essential to the health. comfort and
appearance of the COW as they are to
the horse. Clean, pure milk cannot be
had from a filthy COW. A well ar
ranged barn and plenty of bedding as
sfst greatly in keeping the COW in
a sanitary condition at all times.
BY the use of good stanchions the
cows are kept much cleaner than where
they are simply tied with rope or
halter, as by the use of stanchions the
COWS are not able to back OFF and lie
down in the manure, as they do with
other methods of stabIing. Straw is
usually cheap and plentiful on most
dairy farms, and it does not pay to
neglect to bed the COW well. The bed
ding should be removed from the stalls
every day, and fresh litter provided
The manure should be hauled from the
barn to the field or storage pit often,
every day or two If possible to prevent
1t from being a breeding place about
the barn for flies, disease germs and
bad odors which faint the milk.
1t is a good plan to disinfect the
stables occasionally. whether there is
any apparent reason for it or not. It
is not expensive, can do no harm
and does much good in the way of de-
stroying lice and disease germs.
Where enough COWS are kept to make
1t profitable 1t is advisable to use
milking machines, as we believe milk
can be produced much cleaner In this
way than can possibly be done by hand
milking.
Where hand milking is necessary
see that the hands are always clean
before milking, and use a covered pail.

FACTS REGARDING WEED SEED
North Dakota Experiment Station
Makes Interesting Test With Diff
ferent NoxIous Plants.

In weed experiment at the North
Dakota experiment station. seeds Of
French weed, green foxtail. kinghead,
wild mustard, wild buckwheat, and
wild oats were planted at depths Of
one, two, three, five, seven and ten
inches. The greatest depth from which
French weed came up was two inches;
green foxtail, three inches; kinghead,
mostly from two and three inches, a
few from five inches; wild mustard,
three inches; wild buckwheat, three
inches; wild oats, few from five
inches.
The next year few French weeds
came up from the one and two-inch
depths; no green foxtail; few king
head from the one to f1ve-inch depths;
no wild mustard or wild buckwheat,
and few wild oats from the two-inch
depth.
In five years the seeds were dug up.
None of the seeds at the one and
two-inch depths were left. A few
of the French weed seeds at the seven
and ten-inch depths grew. OF the green
foxtail, one seed from the five-inch
depth grew, and one-sixteenth Of those
buried ten inches terminated. OF the
kinghead, only few of the seeds from
the ten-inch depth grew. OF the wild
mustard, a few of the three-inch
depth and nearly half of those buried
ten inches grew, and one-fourth of
those from the seventeen depth. All
of the wild oats and wild buckwheat
seeds were dead.

have been better still to plow earlier
in the season and after a good rain
and sow to sweet corn for forage later
on; then in the fall replow and allow
the land to be rough all winter IL the
soil was heavy.
In the early spring I plowed and
disked again and planted a crop that
needs cultivation, so that by setting
time in the following spring the
strawberry plants could be safely set
out. This cannot be done for good re-
suits before, because Of the. quanti-
ties Of white grubs found in a soil
of this nature. Most of these grubs
were destroyed by the winter and the
following cultivated crop, and the soil
was left in ideal condition for straw
berries. So good was it that the
first and second crops, handled with
little care and attention, gave me
good price for the labor spent In this
long preparation of the soil.

an hour before milking time. which
should always be regular, and rub the
udder well with brush or burlap
sack, to remove all dirt and dust that
might get into the milk.
Dry, well-drained and well-kept feed
lots assist greatly in keeping the cows
clean, hence, also in producing clean
milk Where COWS are compelled to
stand all day In wet or muddy feed
lot, unless much care is used, the eve
ming milk will be far from pure. A
naturally high, dry and well-drained
location is advisable for the feed lot
during winter and spring, and If 1t can
be graded and stoned it is much better.
It is preferable to have the feeding
pens provided with feed racks. In place

INJURY BY CORN RooTWoRM
insects Are More or Less Abundant in
All Of corn-crowing States Of
Mississippi Valley.
CBy J. TROOP. Purdue Experiment sta
toni

By ]. TROOP. Purdue Experiment sta
tion.)
Numerous letters have been re-
ceived by this station, concerning two
cornroot insects, viz, the corn root
worm and the corn rootaphis. 1t is
evident that these insects are more or
less abundant In all of the corn-grow-
ing states of the Mississippi valley.
The corn rootworm has destroyed
millions of dollars worth of corn dur
ing the last thirty years for farmers,
and yet it is one of the easiest species
of insects to control, when once the
farmer becomes acquainted with its
habits. Like most insects of this
class, it is useless to attempt to hold
1t in check by the application of poi
sons; 1t covers too much territory,
and, during the period when it does
its injury, Is concealed beneath the
surface of the SOIL AS one becomes
better acquainted with its life history,
therefore, the more evident it becomes
that the application of good, up-to-date
farming methods is the only remedy
needed.
AS the larvae do not feed upon any
thing but the corn roots, it is evident
that If a regular rotation of crops is
practiced. so that corn Is grown on
the same soil only once or twice in
three or four years, there will be no
chance for the insects to increase.

Half a part per million of iron in

iron is the constituent which imparts
a medicinal value to the water. but
ordinarily it is undesirable. More

from water from which ice is made.
or a cloudy, discolored product will

3 parts per million in water used in
the manufacture of paper will stain
paper. Iron is harmful in water used
for steaming, for its equilibrium
with acids which inside the boiler

that the free acids corrode the boiler

ried in solution by most waters is so
small that the damage it does to
steam boilers generally amounts to
little.
Waters having high iron content

The New York Sun has joined the
prosperity boom brigade. It's issue
of Sunday, April IL, teens with san
guine expressions from numerous
cities, all testifying to the outlook
for better business and return to
prosperous conditions.
But we notice that among the per-
sons so quoted there is very small
percentage of industrial producers
and wage payers.
: Also IL is to be observed that in
practically all of the optimistic state
ments no mention is made of the one
single factor that alone can insure
the return of prosperous conditions
that is, the employment of the
two or three millions of American
workers who have lost their jobs
as the result of Free-Trade Tariff
legislation.
This is the cruX of the situation.
When will these two or three mil
lions of the unemployed get back
their jobs?
When will the pay envelopes be
full and plenty again?
When will the lost purchasing
power of the country be restored?
When will the missing 10000
900 a day of wage earning and wage
spending flow again into the channels
of production, consumption, mer-
chandising, trade and transporta
ton?
Is there any evidence of revival
along these lines, outside of the very
few which are profiting by the alb
normal and ephemeral market for
their products which is the result
of the demand for European war
supplies?
These are questions which Amer
lean business should be asking. 1t
is an excellent thing to proclaim be-
lief in returning prosperity and thus

fidence and hope. 1t would be still
better if such expressions could give
back lost employment, lost wage
earning and wage spending.
Booming prosperity is all right in
its way, but it doesn't weigh much
unless there is a solid foundation
first laid for the return of prosper
ity.
That solid foundation will be laid
when adequate Protection to Ameri-
can labor and industry shall be re-
stored. and not until then.
This is a fact which business OPP
timists should not lose sight of now,
and still less should they lose sight
