With the cheap feed and the low
price of lands in Dakota, cow will. no |
doubt, be profitable in the dairy,
which would lose money to the owner
on land worth 800 to $3.50 per acre,
and hay at an average of SO per ton,
but this is no reason why Dakota
farmers should keep and raise poor
dairy cows. The best is none too good
for Dakota.-North Dakota Farmer.
Harry l.. Botsford, of this town
ship, has recently invented hay
loader. The machine is to be attach
ed to the rear of any wagon and rakes
and gathers the hay from the ground
just as it is left by the mower, without
it first being raked, elevating it into
any hay rack. After loading, he in
forms us, it can be detached from the
wagon by the person on top of the load
with equal ease rs if he was on the
ground, completely obviating the in,
convenience occasioned by other
similar machines in requiring man
to alight and detach before leaving the
field with load. He also states that
it will gather up our short prairie hay
as clean as if raked and taken up with
a fork. Mr. Botsford will soon send
models to Washington and apply for
