One of the farmer's prelelems is to
get a crop that he wants. evoid crop
that he does not want, and get out
ointhe right side of the iedger, One
of the ieethods of gettirg rid of such
pests as thistles and quacingraes that
has been suggested is te put a ce-
ment pavement over the place and
keep it there for a few years, qr as a
cheaper substitute: cover the laud
with tarred 'paper till the eristing
plants are smothered out, all of which
seems paying "too much, assuming
that the desired result could' be ob-
tained. ,
Another method, not involving
much use of the hoe, and which looks
good on paper, however it might work
out in practice, -has been suggested,
viz,, to seed the plant to...Alfalfa and
crop the alfalfa till the weeds are
choked 'out, If that would work it
would seern hard to beat; but, like

we fail.
After proper precautions in milking
we are confronted by other troubles.
First, it is exposed to dust and dirt
in the stable, which consists largely
of dried manure and urine from the
floor. The cow is not a particularly
clean enimal and the same materials
that are found on the floor will be
found, in a greater or less degree,
dried upon her flanks, belly and tail.
If the long hair on the cow's tail,
flanks and udder are not elipped and
brushed and the udder washed the
movements of the cow and milker set
in motion a rain of this bacteria -
laden dust and the swishing of the
eow's tail only adds to the trouble.
The dried excrement dust is rich
in organic matter, and loaded with
bacteria front the inteetines and urin-
nry passages of the cow, which thrive
and multiply on the food thus given
them. By adhering to this solid dirt
they get into milk and find ideal
places to grow and multiply. When
we drink such milk we take in many
of the former inhabitants of the cow's
stomach arid intestines. The thought
of this becomes repulsve when we re-
member that the cow may be throw-
ing off tuberculosis bacilli before the
disease appears elsewhere. There is
greater danger in milk being con-
taminated from this source than be-
fore it leaves the udder. Such bacteria
cause serious diseases when taken
into the human stomach and intes-
tines. Dried excrement frorn the
cow's body will cause thii kind of '
contamination and undoubtedltr plays
even a greater part when the cows
ere kept in a filthy, dust -laden stable
common on dairy farms.
.:lay and straw dust will give rise
te no very serious diseases, but it
aal tend to lingten the souring of the
a like and cause va.rious bacterial
grewths that will impart a disagree-
able odor and taste to the milk. Such
dust is as much out of place so fax
as clean milk is concerned as the
ether. Lactic acid germs are always
Piasent where conditions are right for
their growth and development, and
while they do not affect the sanitary
qualities of the milk, they do affect its
keeping qualities.
The milkers and handlers of milk in
ths dairy rooms are a prolific source
of contamination. Unclean methods
af milking and handling Of the pro- '
duets afford opportunities for the pol-
lution of the milk by disease organ-
isms, as well as dust and dirt that
adheres to the milker's hands and a
clothing. Here is where such disease t
bacteria as typhoid, scaxlet fever and f
diphtheria get into the milk. Milk

Corn Borer Causing Serious
Damage.
owing to the exten.sive spread of 'w
the European Corn Borer in the
Province of Ontario and the States
of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio,
in 1921, fifty official entomologists f
and agriculturists of Canada and the
United States recently met at San.. e
dusky, Ohio, and St. Thomas, Ontario. le
It wall recognized that the natural
tuned of the inseet and its establish- S
ment over large area, makes extert b
rnitation impossible and it was agreed
that efforts' be direeted to check fur- e
thee' spread so far as possible and to
promote the speedy development of g
practical tontrol measures.

insidious source of danger to con-
e. sumers of milk. When the milk goes
et into these utensils there is a fresh
f supply of these bactexia ready to
thrive and multiply on their new sup-
• ply of food and they grow and mul-
e tiply with disastrous results. If ty-
d phoid germs are in well-wate,r they
will have a chance to contaminate any
d milk that goes into the utensils after
h they have been washed in such water.
N'umerous other kinds of bacteria
Y..; such as those that cause ropy, colored
! and slimy nailk are frequently in well -
it water that is used in washing the
dairy utensils.
Cooling the milk immediately after
tnit is drawrittrom the cow will retard
g! the development of bacteria and the
o more the temperature is lowered the
more the bacterial growth will be
retarded. Milk that is promptly re-
duced in temperature to forty degrees
Fahrenheit, arid held at that temper-
ature until ready for use, will keep
for a long time. When the milk is
shipped to the city the trouble is
invariably with the morning milk,
which goes into the cans without be-
ing properly cooled. In the fresh
milk the bacteria soon exceed that
ixt the older milk that has been prop-
erly cooled. Cooling the milk does not
kill any of the disease -producing bac-
teria or the lactic acid n bacteria so'
that it can not take the place of
cleanliness in the production of milk.
All of the bacteria present in cold
milk will become active as soon as the
temperature conditions became favor-
able. Cleanliness is of first import-
ance and cooling is next.
Many instructive and entertaining
articles have been written on the sub-
ject of clean milk, and if all of this
advice could be carried out, a prac-
1 teeny elealn produet could be made.
' But the success of such a plan in-
volves expenses that - would work
hardship upon many of the producers
at the present time. This is not say:
ing that good milk cannot be made at
present pekes, but to show that the
dairymen who have a few cows can
make clean milk without having any
very elaborate equipment. He can
keep his milk clean by shriply giving
attention to the few simple details
of handling the milk and the small
expense involved will require but a
small outlay of time and money.
Among the essentials of clean milk
I would name a healthy cow, milked
in a clean stable, by a clean milker
and a clean eovered pail, and handled
only by clean and healthy attendants
in a clean dairy room and put into
clean shipping cans and immediately
cooled down to forty or fifty degrees
and held at that temperature until
ready to be shipped. By clean and
sanitary milk I mean only such a
degree of cleanliness as outlined in
this article and which does not involve
expenses that are entirely out of reach
of the dairyman's means. Healthy
cows and clea.nliness will give milk
that is bacteria free. Cold will keep
it in this condition. We can not get
sanitary milk from cold, dixtrmilk,
or from warm, clean milk. Both face
tors are essential to success.
Most of the dirt which. gets into
milk falls into the pail during milk-
ing. A large part of this dirt may
be kept out by the use of a small top
or partially covered pail.
In producing clean milk it is not

We judge by the results. Fact is, to
be honest, none of us care to do work
for nothing.
But to get back to the subject, we
all start out Cm the spring, hoe
in hand, or 'with' some more
effective instrument, resolved to
keep the land 'clean this year.
But by the time the days get
hot and the weeds ceine fast, they
begin. to get the better of us, and soon
the battle is lost again fer us - and
won by the weeds. No one feels this
difficulty more than the mail-order
farmer, who is compelled by force of
circumstances to e accept such results
as he can get from others. But eVen
for the man on the job it is no. easy
trick. To any who are interested in
getting results of this kind, the fol-
lowing experience is recited:
Last spring we decided to put in
some sunflowers for silage on a plat
that had quite a patch of olid quack -
grass on it; and by such cultivation as
could be obtained we tried to hold the
quack back till' the stmiloveere got
going, and it looked for a -while like 2
a losing game; but fightings one weed
with a more vigorons and thrifty one
is pretty good login and surely the
reader will admit that the sunflower
is a hustler. Well, pretty soon the
sunflowers were reaehnig up higher
than the quack could; and, unlike corn,
the broad leaves •of the sunflowers left
no spaces between ,S e snulight

and the eroundlings began to look
rather pall but gill there.
Then came the second part of the
play. The sunflowers were then about
' six or eight feet high and fairly
stocky. As a method of getting rid
some of the quack without laying off
from the haying, we turned the sheep
into the field. They immediately be-
gan turning the quack into mutton
without chargn picking only the low-
er leaves ef the 'sunflowers that would
soon fall off anyway, and doing little
other harm. This done, they were
turned out. '-'Now the ground looks
pretty clean, without any labor ex-
pense to get it, and we hope the quack
will not be so robust next spring.

Con -beet conducted by the Dairy and
Cold Storage Blench of the Depart-

year and the year before four cream-

fourteen pound sample each month
from May to October inclusive for the t
competteen. This year six creamer-
ies in mai province are competing,
a different creamery each month from
May to October sending in a sample.
The scores for the first three months,
May, June and July, of this year show
Manitoba -and Alberta leading with
an average of 96.7 points, Quebec next
with 96, Nova Scotia following with
94.5, Saskatchewan with 94.3, British
Columbia -With 94.2, Ontario 93.7, New
Brunswick- 93.6 and Prince Edward

with the others according to score ex-
cept that British Columbia is eighth
and Ontario -ninth. The average per
cent. of salt added at churning was
2.37 pounds, the average per cent.
salt in the butter was 1.45. Testing
shows that from 1 to tee. per cent.
salt is about right for the export
trade. In the opinion of the judges,
the texture, incorporation of moisture,
and salting, so far this season, are
more uniform then in previous con-
ests. The average per cent. of mere-
ure in the butter, it should be stated,
was 14.05. The color, however, varied
from almost white to a deep June
