DRAIN S0GGY SPOTS ON FARM
Wet, klarshy Places Are Not Only In
convenient to Work Around, but
Are Expensive.

CBy DANIEL SCOATES. Mississippi Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Couldn't you turn into money-mak-
ing patches those soggy spots on your
farm-marshy spots, where the young
corn turns yellow and has the
"drowned-out" look? Such spots are
not only inconvenient to work around.
but are expensive as well.
Tile drains, as rule. have proved
to be the most economical form of
drainage, as they last indefinitely and
give satisfactory returns.
Use good tile.
Use an engineers level in putting in
your tile.
Use 4-inch tile or larger for ordinary
purposes.
Have the size of your mains calcu-
lated.
Before you cover your tile test the
grade with q level to see that the
drain has the proper fall.
Protect your outlets against caving
banks and burrowing animals.

CARE FOR WATERMELON CROP
Frequent Cultivation 10 Recommended
by c. X. McQuarrie Of Florida
Experiment Station.

Frequent cultivation for water
melons is recommended by C. X. Nc
Quarrie of the Florida experiment sta
ton. They should be plowed with
some shallow-running tool until they
cover the ground. At the last cult
walton some hay crop should be plant
ed between the rows; A legume is pre-
ferred. Mr.. McQuarrie does not rec
ommend the planting of watermelons
in raised hills, except on fiatwoods.
The hills soon dry out below the seed
and they will not terminate. On high
land it would probably be better to
plant in a furrow. The hill not only
retards termination. but it confines
the root system of the plants when
they come up.

Various methods of clarifying milk.
such as straining, filtering. sedimenta-
ton, and the use of centrifugal ma
chimes. have been employed both in
this country and in Europe. Some Of
these have been fairly successful in
removing both dirt and bacteria, but
none has proved entirely satisfactory.
One important objection to such meth
DDS of handling milk, especially In the
small dairy, is that they require con-
siderable time, and some Of them ad-
ditional machinery, and thus add to
the cost of production. 1t is much
more important, however, to 60 far
the dirt from getting into the milk st
all, because much Of 1t dissolves read
fly in the warm milk. cannot be re-
moved, and thus communicates the
milk with both filth and the bacteria
of the dirt. 1t is necessary, therefore,
to secure some means whereby the
dirt can be originally excluded.
It has been found that If the stables
are we'll cleaned and ventilated and
exposed to sunlight, II the cows are
kept well brushed and cleaned; II, Just
before milking. the parts of the COW
Immediately above and around the pail
are washed or wiped with a damp
cloth, and IL the mixer is clean, wears
clean clothes, and uses sterile uten-
sils. the quantities of dirt and bacteria
which get into the milk are greatly
reduced.
A number of devices for excluding
the dirt have been tried in this coun.
try and in Europe. One of the sim.
plest and most practical of these is q
milking pail with a cover which re
duces the area Of the surface exposed
during the milking. In order to test
the efficiency Of such a pail for keep
| ing out dirt that would fall into an
open pail. experiments were carried
on at the Connecticut experiment sta
ton which resulted in the following
The amount or dirt in the milk from
the covered pail was only 81 per cent
of that in the open pail. By the use OF
the covered pail an average of 20 pei
| cent of the total number of bacteria
and Al per cent of the acid-producine
bacteria were excluded from the fresh

FREAK VARIETIES OF FRUITS
Home Orchardist Should Be Satisfied
With Standard cIasses-Ne~
Kinds Are Risky.

(By c. w. RAPP, Department of Horti-
culture A. & NJ College. Stillwater)
New and freak varieties of fruits
are frequently gold bricks" A new
or freak variety of fruit has no place
on the average farm. The home or
chardist should be contented with the
standard varieties. Then. when his
trees come into bearing, he will have
a real orchard. If new or freak va
rieties are planted they will in about
nine cases out of ten be worthless.
The farmer should save his money and
leave the testing of unknown varie-
ties to those who can afford to do It,
Later he can profit by their expert.
