WHICH WILL MAKE THE IMBIBlNG OF ICE
WATER AN OCCASION OF JOY.

Analysis made by one of the ice companies
showed that raw water ice contained only two
bacteria per cubic centimetre in the clear portion
of the cake and six bacteria per cubic centmetre
in the core; while distilled water ice made by the
same concern contained six bacteria per CUBIC
centmetre in the clear outside portion and l6O,-
600 per centimetre in the centre. The lesson IS
tina: the core of cake of distilled water ice
should not be used to ice drinks foods by direct
contact. This core is easily dstinguishable by
its couded appearance.
Returning to natural ice, its advocates contend
that the water Of lakes and rivers purifes itself
in freezing by precpitating most of its Impurl-
ties into the unfrozen water underneath the frozen
surface just the artificial ice drives foreign
matter into the But they go further, and
maintain that their product is even safer than
manufactured ice, because the latter is delivered
almost Immediately after il is made, while natural
ice lies in storage long enough to permit any
iner. bacteria that remain to perish.
Any one who has followed this discussion VIII
conclude that there is little to choose between
the two kinds of ice, far concerns the Perits
of the two processes of freezing natural and
artificial. The principal source OF danger - care

rocky fields where cultivation is not
desirable.
Analyses and feeding tests show
that there Is not the slightest danger
of poisoning animals which eat the

combination Of both spraying and
brush dragging from the standpoint of

Pasture With Hogs In Early Spring.
The only method which can be rec
commended at the present time for
protection Of the first alfalfa crop is
pasturing with hogs after the eggs of
the weevil are laid In April or May.
The field to be pastured is divided
into two or more equal lots, each pro-
vided with water, shelter and facili-
ties for feeding. The hogs should have
rings in their noses II the owner
wishes to preserve his stand Of alfalfa
The hogs are moved from one inclos-
ure to another as fast as they are able
to clean up the growth Of alfalfa A
small grain ration should supplement
the alfalfa for growing and fattening
pigs, but is not to be given the brood
sows. Under these conditions the first
crop Of alfalfa is secured with no
labor cost, pork economically pro-
duced, and the weevil eggs and lar.
vac are destroyed before they can do
any harm. Thus the field is left clean
for the growth Of a second crop which
can be cut for hay.

The alfalfa weevil. introduced into
this country at single spot near Salt
Lake City over ten years ago, has
slowly spread throughout the north
ern half Of Utah, including three Of
the most productive counties, and
taken a foothold in the adjacent parts
Of Idaho and Wyoming. 1t destroys
about one-half of the annual yield, un-
less measures are taken to prevent It..
The weevils, after spending the win
ter in the fields about the roots Of the
plants, deposit large numbers of pale
yellow eggs in cavities made in the
stems with their beaks. The little
green worms" which hatch from
these during spring and early sum-
mer, cluster upon the fresh shoots of
alfalfa plants and feed. becoming
most numerous about June l. They
destroy much of the first crop. injure
the quality of what remains, and COM
pei early cutting to prevent total loss.
The actual damage to the first crop Is
not far from so per cent of Its value.
Upon the cutting of the first crop the
larvae gather upon the bit Of food
which is afforded by the new shoots
and destroy them as fast as they ap-
pear. This condition lasts until the
normal harvest time of the second
crop, so that 1t ia a total loss. The
damage to the first two crops usually
amounts to about one-half the annual
yield.
A valuable method for preventing
the injury to the second crop consists
In brush dragging the stubble after
removal Of the first cutting. This was
devised by the Utah experiment sta
ton in cooperation with farmers. 1t
was improved later. however, in &C.

ing underneath. instead Of the old
fashioned brush drag. This treatment
was widely adopted as a means of
crushing the insects. and also as a
means OF exposing them to the rays
Of the sun and to the choking action
Of the dust. The bureau OF entomol.
ogy has proved that neither the me.
chanical crushing nor the direct rays
OF the sun contribute much to the ef.
fectiveness Of the dust.mulch treat
ment. and that most OF the insects in
all stages die long before they are
smothered by the dust. The essential
factor in killing the weevils is the
heat absorbed by the soil from the
suns rays.
To kill the weevil the surface Of
the field to be treated must be dry,
free from clods. cracks and vegeta-
tion. To get best results. however,
the sky must be clear and the weather
warm. Under these conditions when
the soil reaches the necessary temper.

insect are killed In less than two min.

then free to grow. The effectiveness
Of this treatment. however, is directly

which the above conditions are com.
