NO CURE FOR ALFALFA WILT
Unlikely That Any Remedy for Dis.
ease Can Be Observation-Disclosures
Of Crops Is Advised.

For wilt, common disease OF the
alfalfa plant in the West, there is no
known remedy. According to experts
OF the Oregon experiment station it is
unlikely that any practical remedy can
be developed, owing to the nature Of
the disease. Where it becomes seri.
Gus rotation of crops is advised. Wilt
is most prevalent on heavy soils, par
ticularly where drainage is slow.
This disease has been reported in
New York and California and has re-
Gently been identified in certain sec
tons of Oregon. 1t is most serious
where the stand of alfalfa is heavy
and spreads fastest in the fall, when
the surface soil is constantly wet. 1t
also attacks clover.
The moisture causes rot to develop
on the stems near the surface of the
soil and this forms point of attack
for the wilt disease. A white cotton
like mold grows over the surface Of
the stems and leaves affected. The
roots of the plant are not, however,
always destroyed.

SANITARY MILK PLANT
Cleanliness often Overlooked in
Rush of Business.
score Gard Used BY Dairy inspectors
Should Be Posted Where 1t Can
BE Easily Seen by Employees
" Avoid Strainers,

During the rush of business the i'm.
portance of cleanliness in the milk
plaht is often temporarily overlooked.
AS reminder of points often neglect.
ca IN this way, score card, such as
IS used by dairy inspectors in scoring
city milk plants, should be posted
where 1t can be easily seen by the
employees who, by studying it, can
learn wherein they are lacking, from
the inspectors point of view. The
dairy division of the bureau of ami
NAL industry of the United States de-
partment of agriculture will send a
sample score card on request.
Many of the items on the card are
self-explanatory, but there are some
details in milk-plant sanitation which
are not given on any score card. If
the floors, walls and ceiling are
smooth and are made of sound and
durable materials, they may be easily
Kept free from dirt and dust. Con
crete floors are very satisfactory. for

no cracks in which dirt can collect.
Iron plates laid in cement are SAM
tary and are more durable than con
crete.
A separate room for handling the
milk apart from all other operations
IS essential and all doors must be kept
closed to exclude flies and impure air.
1t is better to provide pure air by
means OF modern system of ventila-
ton. Even when the air is pure, the

watts, pasteurizers, coolers, filters and
other apparatus should be covered to
prevent all unnecessary contact with
the air.
The milk must be kept cool after it
is received at the plant, and not be
allowed to stand long before bottling.
II not used at once the cans should
be put into refrigerator or the milk
stored in tanks made for this purpose.
These tanks must be in cool place
or be surrounded with a jacket of ice
water or brine. Strainers or cheese
cloth are more satisfactory and more
easily cleaned than those of wire
gauze, but the use of strainers of any
kind should be avoided as much as
possible. Some dealers strain the
milk after it is pasteurized before it
is run into the filter. This may in
crease the bacterial count and fur
thermore is unnecessary if the milk
is properly clarified or filtered before
pasteurizing and if the apparatus is
clean.
A filter of cheesecloth and cotton,
if used, must be changed several
times during the day. The cheese
cloth must be washed, sterilized and
kept where the air is pure. 1t can be
used a few days before throwing away,
but the cotton, of course, should be
used only once. AS soon as the milk
is put up all parts of the apparatus
should be thoroughly cleaned by first
rinsing in cool water, then washing

THE BEST PLACE.

The mountain top is small. There
IS hardly room enough there for the
few who reach it's height, and, unless
those who do keep a firm foothold,
they may be pushed off and dashed
to pieces.
The way to the mountain top is
steep and rugged, the rocks are slip
perry, and the path is full of landslides.
The valley is broad and fertile, and
there is room enough there for plant
ing and for harvesting.
The ordinary man can earn his liv-
ing in the valley; the extraordinary
man may be able to attach himself
to the mountain top
am not asking you, young man,
not to travel upward, nor am | sug-
costing that you forever remain on the
plains; but / am attempting to pic
ture the dangers of steep climbing,
and the liability of not being able to
find foothold at the top.
Better, far better, be a good tiller
Of the soil down in the green valley
than starve among the mountain s
rocks
In these days of strenuous bust
ness. Of liberal education, and Of OPP
portunity, the old adage that there
is always room at the top" is not as
true as it used to be. for, even though
there may be room at the very top,
one must take fearful chances in
climbing. and he will meet strenuous
men en- route, ready and anxious to
win, not only by advancing them
selves, but by pushing others down.
The tendency to go beyond ones
ability, to occupy positions unnatural
and difficult to hold. is responsible for
many failure. and has ruined many
men who would have been successful
had they been contented and indus
trious, with good prospect OF prosper
ity.
Ambition should be made OF sterner
stuff than that which drives man out
OF himself into unknown regions, or
into places too high for him to gain a
foothold, a footing which, even if he
does gain it, he may be unable to
keep.
It is your duty to do your best. to
make the most of yourself, to encour-
age rather than to cramp ambition.
to use common sense in the making
OF yourself. that brand of good sense
which does not allow you to stay be-
low your level and which will prevent
you from striving to go beyond it.
Thousands of men move from where
they are. dissatisfied and disgruntled.
and enter new and unknown fields.
when, if they had remained at home.
making the best of their opportuni-
ties, they would have been worth
more to themselves and to the world.
Where you are. unless it is below
the surface, may be the best place in
which for you to work and to STAY.
Certainly, you should not allow your
self to leave your base of operations
until you are sure that where YOU are
is not the place for you to be in. and
until you know of a location within
the probable scope of your CAPACITY
Beware of the top. unless there is
a safe road leading to it.

REDUCE COST OF BUTTERFAT
Result Given of Experiment With Sill
age at Kansas Experiment Sta
tion-Feed Cost Saved.

An experiment conducted at the
Kansas experiment station shows
that silage reduces the cost of pro
ducing butterfat from 80 cents to q
cents. The herds in this case were
of sufficient size to give reliable data
and eliminate the difference that
might occur between two cows.
The lot which were fed silage gave
seven pounds more milk in the sum-
mer and 95.5 pounds more in winter
per month than the herd which were
fed dry feed.
The butterfat was also increased by
.46 in summer and 4.6 in winter. The
difference in the cost of feed was even
greater. The silage-fed cows saved
so cents per month in the cost of feed.

The pumps and pipes can be rinsed

mediately after using. They must
then be taken down and thoroughly
washed; this can easily be done if
there are several couplings in the

be kept tight and free from dirt, rust

apparatus or cans afford good lodging
places for bacteria and, being hard
to clean, should not be used.
