BACTERIA FOUND IN UDDER
In Experime nting With Several Bacilll
Common to Milk, Scientist Dis
covers New Germ.

A discovery of especial interest to
dairymen has recently been made by
an italian scientist named Constantine.
In experimenting with the several ba.
cilli common to milk, he found new
germ which has to do with the form.
ing of rennet and the coagulation OF
milk and it thrives especially well in
the milk If left in cows udder at
milking time. When the COW is not
MIXED dry, these acid-forming bac-
terra develop rapidly and set up in
Gammation likely to cause serious
complications.
1t is not an unusual thing for poor
ly MIXED COW to develop case or
caked udder or mammitis, but the eX-
act cause of the trouble has not until
the present time been fully understood.
The change in the milk due to these
organisms is entirely different from
the change which occurs in ordinary
fermentation and the presence OF the
harmful bacteria cannot be determined
by ordinary methods employed. A spe-
cial set of fermentation tests tor this
purpose have been devised and these
are of especial value to the cheese
maker The presence of the germs in.
dcates faulty milking and an unwhole-
some condition of the udder. The dis
covery of the bacillus serves to en-
phasize the Importance Of clean and
thorough milking

Bismuth In Alaska.

A considerable ledge of rock, carry.
ing bismuth in commercial quantities,
has been found in the Totalanika coun-
try of Alaska by well-known miner
named John Leach. Tests demon
strate that the ore carries bismuth
from 20 to 80 per cent pure. Bismuth
brings from $500 a ton upward, and
of all metals Is perhaps the easiest
to mine. 1t melts at temperature
slightly above 26S degrees centigrade,
and can, therefore, be melted with
wood fires, obviating the necessity of
shipping the ore outside with the
heavy incidental transportation and
melting charges, burden other min
ing interests have to bear because OF
the governments policy Of forbidding
the development of coal mines in
Alaska. While the presence Of bis
muth ore in Alaska has long been
known, the Leach claim Is the first
discovery Of large deposit. Here
tofore most of it used in the States
has been imported from Saxony and
Bohemia, although Connecticut has
mines from which considerable guam
titles Of the ore have been taken. Bis
muth Is used principally as an alloy
constituent, but also enters into the
preparation Of paints, medicines, face
powder, etc.

FEED CALVES IN STANCHIONS
After Young Animals Have Devoured
Milk and Gain They Lose Desire

There are several good reasons for
feeding calves in stanchions. The
calves can bn fed their milk, then
their grain, aid after they have eaten
the grain they will lose their desire to
suck one anothSrs ears. A stanchion
made of wood sill be entirely satisfac
tory 1t shoui be made from 3 to 31s
feet high and Is to "a inches from
center to center, with the neck space
to inches wide. 1t is built in the
same manner as the old-style rigid
stanchion. The calf should be fastened
while eating, but loosened from the
stanchion after it has eaten it's grain.
The calf pens and Gtanchions should
be built in the south side of the barn,
where plenty of sunshine and light
can be had.

TRY SOME SUMMER PRUNING
Practice Tends to Produce Fruit
Spurs by Checking Flow Of Sap
Size Of Fruit Increased.

(By e. p. SANDSTEN Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, WyoD
Summer pruning should be as regu-
larly performed as winter pruning
After the shape of the tree has been
obtained through winter pruning, the
filing out of the branches and the
trunk should be accomplished by sum-
mer pruning. This is especially true
during the fourth and fifth years after
planting. AS a rule, most fruit grow
ers prune their young trees too Reav'
lily during these years. Growth be-
comes excessive, especially in length,
and the branches do not become prop
erly braced at the crotches OF the
tree. II summer pruning is done be-
tween the middle and the latter part
of June, when the growth in length
has reached from II to Is inches, by
cutting off the terminal buds, it will
Invariably check the growth in length
and increase Ihe thickness of the
trunk and branches. Further, it tends
to produce fruit spurs by checking the
flow of the sap.
Summer pruning may also be prac-
ticed on older or bearing trees in con-
nection with the thinning of the fruit.
In this case there is very little occa-
sion for cutting and pinching off the
terminal shoots, as older trees make
little or no wood growth. Cutting out
a number of fruit spurs will give
larger food supply for the remaining
ones, and the size of the fruit borne
Is greatly increased.

TO TRAIN BLACKBERRY CANE
Sometimes Desirable in Order to Fa.
cilitate CuItivation-Wire Trel-
lis Is Favored.

blackberry roots live for many
years, but the canes, with the eXcep
ton Of two varieties, bear only in
their second year. After the fruiting
season, therefore, they are cut out
and burned. The one.year-old canes
may usually be left to themselves
throughout the winter Not more than
three or four new canes are left to
each plant, however, and the others
are thinned out at the same time as
those which have fruited.
In some cases, it will also be desir
able to train the plants in order tc
facilitate cultivation as well as to pre-
vent damage by winter SHOWS. A wire
trellis may then become profitable
investment. The simplest form con
sists of single wire attached to posts
set at intervals of from Is to 30 feet il
each row of plants The canes are
tied to this wire about 21a feet above
the ground Another method is to mai
cross pieces to the posts and stretch
two wires from the ends Of these cross
pieces, which form a support for the
blackberry canes on each side.

His Glass Eye In Pain.

A very peculiar accident happened
to o. r. McColley. While walking
with one of his customers, James l..
Boyd, he suddenly threw his hands to
one of his eyes which he had had re-
placed with glass one.
He exclaimed in great pain that
something had hit him in the eye. He
was nearly frantic for some time, when
Doctor Cogswell was summoned and
the patient was removed to his office
After the pain was relieved the eye
was removed, and 1t was discovered
the back of the glass eyeball had
broken and the vacuum from the hol'
low inside had drawn the optic nerve
through the broken part, which caused
intense pain.
The inside part Of the eye is badly
inflamed and it will necessitate the
placing of a new glass eye as soon
as 1t has healed sufficiently.-From a
Wolsey Is. Dak.) Dispatch.

EASY TO GROW STRAWBERRY
Profitably-Must Be Carefully
Packed in Boxes.

1t is an easy matter to grow crop
of strawberries, but quite another
thing to sell them protitably. Straw.
berries, to sell well. must be packed
carefully in boxes and placed on the
market soon thereafter. Few towns
are well equipped with Strawberries
during the strawberry season. Any
individual who will plant one to five
acres will find a ready market for
all his product at home. For home
market strawberries should be very
nearly ripe when picked; but for
shipping they should be picked a
little gHecnor. 1t is an easy matter to
pick small area, but when several
acres have to be picked over every
day 1t is not easy. Shortage Of help
is the main trouble. When picking
for shipping a field should be picked
every day If possible, but for home
market, to pick over the same ground
every other day is often enough. 1t
is well to see that the boxes are well
filled.

Mice Help to Catch Other Mice.


A little device has just been patent
ed which transforms any standard pre-.
serving jar into a mouse trap. The
traps which kill the little rodents lose
their usefulness after a time by rea.
son of the fact that the odor left by
the deceased vermin acts as warn
ing to the acute noses of others, 50
that to be of use the tray must be
scalded or otherwise fumigated at reg.
ular intervals. The preserving jar
mouse trap does not hold any odor,
and, being of glass, it catches an un-
limited number of mice, one after the
other. The bait will catch the first
mouse, and after that the newcomers,
seeing their fellow inside, will be
prompted by curiosity to follow, and as
each one enters the trap entrance Is
automatically set for the next one.

SHRUBS FOR HOME GROUNDS.
B. W. ANSPON
Maryland State College or Agriculture.

According to their Towering habit,
shrubs are divided into two groups.
One group of shrubs produces flowers
from buds that were formed the previ-
Gus season The other group produces
flowers from buds that are formed on
the new wood Of the current season.
1t is the first group in which the
flower buds are prepared before hand,
that we especially are interested in at
this time. Among this group are the
following shrubs:
Azaleas Golden Bell
Calycanthus Japan Ounce
Daphne Mock Orange
Deutzlas Mountain Laurel
Dogwoods Privets
Dwarf Almond Rhododendrons
Flowering Currant Spireas (Spring
Flowering Crab Flowerlng)
Flowering Peach Viburnums
The growth of these shrubs can be
controlled by pruning now. AS soon
as the flowers fade, shorten back the
old wood. Old shoots that tend to
crowd should be removed. Those
growing out of the bounds should be
cut back to conform to the general
outline Of the plant. BY this method
of pruning, strong shoots will develop,
on which the flower-buds for the en-.
suing year will form. Where the
growth of such shoots becomes too
vigorous, pinch them back.
On Rhododedrons and Azaleas cut
out the old flower heads as soon as
they fade.
Climbing roses need little pruning,
save cutting off the flower clusters aft.
err they are through Towering.
Evergreen trees, TO develop into
good specimens, should have the low
est limbs extending the greatest dis
lance out from the trunks. When up
per limbs are allowed to grow out
beyond the lower limbs, serious in
Jury results. The longer branches will
shade the lower and also throw off
the rain from them. Soon the lower
limbs will drop their needles or leaves
and die All upper branches that ex-
tend beyond the lower limbs should
be cut back until they are shorter than
the ones directly beneath them AL
ways cut back to strong bud. so as
TO leave no stub Pinching out the
terminal bud will check growth in
that direction, when the branch tends

Spiders Lariat.

There is in this country a species
Of spider which haunts evergreen trees
and catches It's prey by means of
kind of lariat
The web Of this spider is triangular
in form, consisting of four longitudinal
lines and large number of cross
fibers connecting them. Two corners
Of the triangle are attached to twigs,
but the other corner, which terminates
in single thread, is held by the spider
perched on neighborng twig. When
fly strikes the web, the spider loos,
ems his hold and the elastic threads
instantly entangle the victim.

TIME TO PICK SMALL FRUITS
If Strawberries, Raspberries and
BEackberries Become Overripe
They Become Worthless.

Strawberries raspberries and black
berries are of very perishable ma
ture. They must be picked when just
right, and if allowed to become over
ripe they become soft and are re.
jected by customers. This is loss
to the grower.
The strawberry must be reset every
three or four years for the best sue
cess, while the raspberry and black
berry should be reset every five or six
years. THIS always means a large
amount OF careful and painstaking
work.

HOW TO SECURE
A GOOD STAND
Proper Seeding OF Crimson Glover
Is Essential To Successful
Production.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The lack of rain in late summer ana
early fall is responsible for many
failures of crimson clover, because the
young seedlings are very easily killed
by lack of moisture or hot sunshine.
The seeded, then, should be hrm,
moist and finely pulverized. Where
sown in cultivated crops, such as corn
and tomatoes, the cultivation neces-
sary for these crops is usually suffl'
cient for the clover; where following
small grain the stubble should be
plowed down as soon after harvest as
possible and the land well worked-up.
Then, after one or two good rains ana
a light surface-working, the field Is
ready for crimson clover seeding,
or late years, preparing stubble land
for crimson clover by discing thor
oughly has been practiced, and under
favorable conditions has given GOOD
results. This saves labor but can not
be recommended for hard clay soils.
Method or Seeding.
The seed may be broadcasted by
hand, or sown with one OF the broad
casting machines found on the mar
ket of which the wheel-barrow seeder
Is about the most satisfactory. In cul-
tivated crops the seed may also be
sown with one Of the specials single
row hors e-seeders, made for seeding
intertilled crops but, generally, the
machine is best
When sown in corn rotary hand
seeder may be used on horseback.
This seeder should be supported foot
or 20 above the saddle horn, and the
horses ears covered to prevent the
seed entering.
Time And Rate OF Seeding.
1t is best to seed some time between
the middle Of July and the middle
of September. Along the water'fronts
in Southern Maryland and In the
southern part of the Eastern Shore 1t
may be safe to SOW as late as the
middle of September or little later,
but by far the best results are oh.
tanned II seeded a month or six weeks
earlier. In the northern part OF the
Eastern Shore and In the crimson
clover section Of Hartford Baltimore,
Howard and Montgomery counties, 1t
should not be seeded later than Sep,
TENDER LIST, and preferably or
weeks earlier. In Carroll county and
in almost all Of the lower attitudes
OF Frederick and Washington counties-
and in the Mountain Section 1t is sell
dom safe to sow after August 25th,
and it may be seeded as early as July
18th.
The most common rate of seeding is
Is pounds per acre. A few use 20
pounds, while others use only IL
pounds per acre. II the weather and
soil conditions are just right, II
pounds is enough.
