GROUND FROZEN AGES AGO
Has Puzzled Miners Who Have
Worked in Alaska.

Miners and biologists familiar with
conditions in Alaska are aware that
in many places the ground in that
country is permanently frozen, cx-
cept on the surface, to a depth of
200 and even 800 feet. While this has
been popularity attributed to long
continued low temperature i'm winter,
the interesting theory has recently
been advanced by Il scientist that the
condition is due to far colder
weather that obtained in some pre-
vious age, and that protective vegeta-
ton on the surface has kept the frost
in the ground permanently since then.
1t has been found that when moss
has been cleared away for open-cut
mining or farming. the upper level
Of the grounds frost seemed gradually
to descend. If such is the case, it may
show that present temperatures are
not low enough to freeze the ground
to the great depths cited above.-pop-

Milk with q low bacterial count can
be produced in practically any COW
barn. Any dairy farmer with a healthy
herd can produce such milk with an in
vestment Of only $40 or $40 and a little
extra care.
The United States department of
agriculture in IN experiment produced
low bacterial count milk In a poor
dairy barn.
The only changes made were:
Simple steam sterilizer for utensils.
Clean cows, especially clean udders.
Snall-top milking pals.
Proper manure removal and good
bedding.
The bacterial count fell from as high
as 100000 to an average of 2,154.
Produce Clean Milk.
Low bacterial count is the beginning
of good milk, but milk must also be
~safeguarded from other contamination
likely in a dairy barn. There is no
legitimate excuse for the production of
milk from dirty cattle or in a filthy
stable. In addition milk must be prop
erly cooled to prevent the multiplica-
ton Of bacteria.
Reduction of bacteria in milk does
not depend on the kind of barn or ex-
pensive equipment so much as on sim
pie inexpensive precautions. Milk with
low bacteria count can be produced In
barns of ordinary type with less than
500 worth Of extra equipment. The
dairy specialists of the United States
department of agriculture have proved
this in a practical experiment.

that he is, in effect, following a system
Of double cropping and that because Of
the crop between the trees he may
need to give more attention to main
tanning the fertility Of the soil than he
would for the peaches alone.
After the trees reach bearing age
they should not be made to compete
with another crop. Even if the plant
food in the soil is sufficient to produce
successfully two crops at the same
time. the peach trees usually will need
all the available soil moisture, except,
of course, in sections where irrigation
is practiced and the supply of water Is
adequate for all purposes. Besides, a
crop between the trees would be like
" to interfere with the spraying Of the
trees, If that operation should be nec-
essary, with the harvesting of the
fruit. and in other ways.
Muskmelons, beans, peas, cabbages,
tomatoes and other truck crops are ex-
tensively grown between peach trees
in different sections. Potatoes are
sometimes used. but they are suitable
only when the crop can be SO managed
hat the digging of the potatoes will
not amount to a late cultivation, which
may be attended with undesirable re-
suits. Corn. also, is frequently used,
but rs very often managed it is objec-
tionable, because it shades the trees
excessively. Whenever corn is used,
an open strip of considerable width
should be left along the rows, SO that
the trees will be fully exposed to the
sunlight throughout the season. II a
very tall, strong-growing variety of
corr is used. a wider strip should be
left implanted than where a dwarf
variety is selected.
Peach trees r sometimes used for
planting between trees, especially
where apples comprise the permanent
crop. This practice is highly recon-
mended by some and emphatically con-
demned by other fruit growers of wide
experience. 1t IS probably objection
dble in that for a period of years both
bearing and nonbearing trees occupy
the same area, and it is sometimes de-
sirable to treat a fruiting tree very diff
ferently from one that Is not fruiting,
for the best results with each. On the
other hand, where a site is particular
ly favorable for both fruits, a cOmprO-
mise treatment can often be effected,
which yields fairly satisfactory results
with both kinds OF trees.

prepared by the United States Depart.

Frequently some annual crop is
grown between the trees during the
first two or three seasons to help meet
the cost of maintenance during the un-
productive age Of the orchard. This
practice is seldom any advantage to
the trees in comparison with thorough
tillage by itself, but if the crops are
wisely selected and properly managed
they are not likely to do any serious
harm.
The crop ought to be one which
needs essentially the same tillage that
the peach trees should have, SO as not
to interfere seriously with that opera
ton. But the grower should realize

open-top pals averaged 1868 bac-
terra. The milk from the small-tOp
pals averaged 36S,214.
The use of the small-top pail with
out any extra precaution made a diff
ference In the average count Of 129,-
439 bacteria per cubic centimeter.
The pals and cans were .sterilizcd
with live steam. which can easily and
cheaply be done with a simple steam
sterilizer. which can be made at home
or can be purchased complete for
about $40. Other conditions remained
as before. The milk from the steril-
lied small-top pals averaged only IT,
OPT bacterial reduction of 351 1877 in
favor of this simple sterilization. With
the open pals, sterilization reduced
the bacteria to 22,677-a decrease Of
474,976 compared with milk from the
unsterilized open pals.
Simple Cleanliness.
In the third step of the experiment
the n was removed from the barn
twice instead of only once a week. The
uUu0IS HUI IGuS I'll Tic COWS were
washed before each milking. These
reasonable measures of cleanliness re-
duced the count In milk drawn into the
sterilized small-top pail to 1856 bac-
terra, and In the sterilized open-top
pail to 6,108 per cubic centimeter. Or
binary cleanliness, 1t can be seen,
caused a reduction Of over 10000 bac-
teria per cubic centlmeter.
To make It easier to keep the cows
clean, In the flnal stage Of the expert
ment the manure was removed daily,
clean bedding was supplied. and the
cows were cleaned with a currycomb
and brush. With these final precau-
tions the bacterial count in the small
top pail averaged the very low one of
2.154 per cubic centimeter, or 1.197,647
bacteria less than were found In a
sample when the barn and cows were
dirty and the utensils were not
steamed.
