animation of the dead or dying plants
will reveal a blackened CONSTRUCTED
area on the stem near the surface OF
the ground. The disease acts quickly,
often wiping out an entire hotbed over
night. Improper ventilation is usually
the cause and the only way to pre-
vent or check the ravages of the dis
ease is to see that the hotbed is well
ventilated at all times. A warm,
humid condition favors this disease
and proper ventilation will reduce
both the temperature and the amount
of moisture in the air. Hotbeds should
be watered in the morning of bright
sunny days, and it is better to water
plants thoroughly and not so often
than to apply light frequent ~waterings

CREAM AS WELL AS MILK
MUST BE OF GOOD QUALITY

Because cream is sold in smaller
quantities than milk is no reason
why less care should be given by in
spectors in insuring a safe supply Of
good quality, says the United States
department of agriculture. 1t is just
as desirable for cream to come from
tuberculin-tested cows or be properly
pasteurized, or both, as that milk
should. Heavy cream for whipping
purposes is often sold raw and its
quality should be above suspicion.
Cream from old or returned milk of
poor quality is not desirable.
ALI cities need carefully defined
grades for cream, according to the
department, with a fixed minimum for
light, table, or coffee cream, which is
the usual cream of commerce. The
federal standard for cream which goes
into interstate or foreign commerce is
Is per cent ~butterfat, and in different
cities it varies usually from Is to %
per cent. Sometimes what is known
as double cream" is sold, and when
that term is used the cream should
contain twice as much fat as is re-
quired in ordinary cream, usually
from IS to 40 per cent of butter fat
Whipping cream" may contain les:
butter fat than "double cream" bur
according to a ruling by the Bureau
of Chemistry, cream thus labeled, i
shipped interstate, must contain a
least 80 per cent butter fat.

Q. Last year my young cucumber
plants were destroyed by some insect,
is there any way of avoiding this
trouble?
A. The damage was probably done
by the striped cucumber beetle which
also attacks young squash and melon
plants. The best way to prevent
a repetition of your losses is to cover
each plant with a cheese cloth. A
barrel hoop cut in half and these
fastened together in the middle at
right angles makes a good frame on
which to put the covering. The cloth
should be held down firmly to the
ground to prevent insects from crawl
ing under it.

HOtbed Operation

Proper temperature control is an
important matter in the operation of a
hotbed. All plants do not require the
Sam amount of heat for best results
and certain plants require different
heat conditions at different times to
insure the proper development. Tenn
peratures of from so to go degrees
fahrenheit are very satisfactory for
cabbages. cauliflower and lettuce,
while tomotoes and peppers do better
at 20 degrees. Tomatoes may be in
clined to grow tall and slender under
this temperature and in that case 1t IS
better to check growth by reducing the
heat. The heat requirements OF celery
are peculiar in that plants do well
under a wide range of temperature
but if below 60 degrees the plants go
to seed early in the season and thus
the crop is ruined.
When the weather is warm the hot
bed should be opened as much as pos
sible and only on quite cold days
should it remain entirely closed. Und-
er severe conditions it may be neces-
sary to cover the hotbed with straw,
leaves, burlap or other material for
protection.
The ha~rdening-off process, to accus-
tom plants to outside conditions.
should start about two weeks before
the plants are to be set out. This
means exposing the plants to out
side conditions for a longer time each
day until the sash is removed entirely
and at the same time reducing the
water to check growth. Just before
transplanting a more liberal supply
of water may be added.
Don't Neglect the Rhubarb
Rhubarb furnishes early green food
in the spring, and there should be q
few plants in every garden. Too often

because it seems to do so well wher

cultural practices such as weed eradi-

on, tend to insure the future supply.
Questions and Answers
Q. Are seed potatoes produced on
irrigated land inferior TO those pro-
duced on ~non-irrigated land?
A. Results of experiments carried
on by the Montana experiment station
at Bozeman indicate that there is no
significant difference in yielding pow
er between irrigated and non-irrigat-
ed potatoes.

Q. How are potatoes treated TO pre-
vent scab?
A. The most effective method Of
treating potatoes for scab is to dip
the potatoes in a solution of corrosive
sublime, prepared by d%issolving four
ounces Of corrosive sublimate in sew
eral quarts Of hot water in a so gal
lon barrel and adding enough water TO
make 80 gallons. Place the potatoes
in this solution and allow TO stand
one hour. Potatoes may remain In
the sack when being dipped but it is
better TO place them in loose or in a
crate that does not absorb the solu-
ton. After every six bushels about
one-quarter ounce Of corrosive subli-
mate should be added to the solution
to preserve its strength. Potatoes
should be clean and all rotten or
damaged potatoes removed before
dipping. Only e~arthenware or wooden
containers should be used for the solu-
ton as it corrodes metals. It is a
deadly poison when taken internally
so that every precaution should be
taken in handling and disposing of
the material. Treated potatoes can
not be eaten nor fed to live stock.

1t can readily be seen that any sys-
tenn of milking that does not extract
all the milk will give a low percent
age of butter fat. Professor Vol of
the Wisconsin Experiment station
found that a herd of "a cows was in
creased As per cent in milk flow and
% per cent in butter fat by the Hege-
fund method of milking, which con-
sists of manipulating the cows udder
after each milking to bring down all
remaining traces Of milk. Expert
ments conducted elsewhere, however,
show that there is no practical adj
vantage in the Hegelund method over
any other method Of thorough milk
ing.
The principal thing to remember,
says Mr.. Tretsven, is to milk and
handle cows gently to avoid causing
them to hold their milk, and to strip
each cow at each milking so as to get
all of the milk. "A cows affection
for the calf prompts the desire to
give milk; if you gain her affection
she will desire to give you milk"

Increasing Butter Fat
F. S.

While it is possible to feed and
manage dairy cows in such a way as
90 get a temporary increase in butter
fat content of the milk, no methods Of
feeding have yet been devised where
by the butter fat content may be ma
t~erially increased over a long period
Of time, says j. o. Tretsven, dairy
specialist for the Montana State Col
lege Extension service.
Thorough milking of the cows will
perhaps lend more favorable results
in this respect than any changes
brought about by feeding. 1t should
always be borne in mind that the
last milk drawn is very much richer
than the first.
To illustrate how the composition of
milk varies during the milking process
