THE GOPHER IN CORN.
Planting Deep to Escape the Raw
ages of the Pest.

The editor of the Dakota Ruralist re-
lates this: Two years ago we raised
our first corn in Dakota, other than
some 500 corn. In a field of twenty
acres, planted in tine usual manner with
a hoe or hand corn planter,.we found
the gophers were digging UP the corn,
and in spite of all we could do by scat
tering poisoned corn and shooting them,
they succeeded in taking up fully one
half the hills entire. We observed that
after the corn came up they did not dis
turb it any longer. We also observed
that three or four of our neighbors had
Splendid stands of corn, no missing hills,
and that they attributed their freedom
from gopher depredationS to the fact
that they planted their corn with
horse corn planter. Last year, in order
to try it for ourselves, we hired their
horse planter and planted about two
thirds of our crop with it and at once
after planting we narrowed the ground
over with common smoothing harrow,
and we followed this narrowing process
up, going over the ground three or four
times before the corn came up. The
result was that we could not find single
hill disturbed by the gOpherS,a land as the
corn came up the ground was as free
from weeds as at the time of planting.
But how was it with the balance of the
land we planted, partly with a hoe and
partly with a hand planter? About one
half the COIN gone before it began to
grow. From this we are led to believe
that it will pay the farmer to invest in
a horse planter. Probably the same re-

How to Treat Horses.

The treatment of horses in order to
secure docility and secure the best serv-
ice is matter of interest to all farmers.
A writer in the Country Gentleman
seems to comprehend the true philoS-
ophy in this: 81 have had some eX-
perience in driving horses and breaking
and is valuable in the hands of the man
who knows when and how to use it,
have never considered it of much value
as means of punishment or of conf
Delling obedience. In fact punishment
should seldom be resorted to, and when
it does become necessary. the indis-
criminate use of the whip is almost GER
tain to rouse the horses animOsity and
make him worse. This is especially the
case with colts, which are often whipped
for stubbornness when the real
difficulty lies in their not
clearly understanding what is re-
quired of them. In such a case
whipping is ruinous; it does not call the
attention of the colt to the point we are
trying to teach him, and it is of no use
in controlling him should he become
desperate and reckless, as he often will
under such treatment.
To insure the best results in training,
the horse or colt should be taught to
love as we'll as fear his master. These
two points gained, he will try to do al
most anything you require of him, If he
only understands what it is. And al
though frmness is necessary, and. i'm
pliclt obedience must be exacted, re-
wards will be found more efficient aids
than punishments. They show the
horse your appreciation when he does
what you want. and he will both under
stand and appreciate it.

{ J.
d Red River Farmer Discusses
Wheat Growing by
Itself.
why the Sheep Growers Will
Not Lose by Tariff

BLACK Barley as a Substitute
for Corn in Fat
tening.
Various Notes and Points
Gathered for the Farm
Readers.

George NJ. Richardson, one OF the
most successful farmers on the Mime
sofa side of the Red river, in the Moor
head News considers the subject OF
wheat growing in this way:
Does wheat raising exclusively pay?
The majority of our farmers seem to
think it does not. Does raising wheat
nav? and to this | answer yes, If con-
Jointly with other crops and other
things. Successful farming requires a
certain rotation of crops to retain the
fertility of the soil, and with us i'll this
country. where we cannot use (aS yeti
corn and clover, wheat should have its
Mace. After several years of trial l can
not vet decide if summer following is
good. save to destroy weeds, and even
then il must be carefully done. Nature
protests against fallow, and whenever
land is laid idle how quickly she strives
to cIothe the naked ground. But II
rotation is followed we get something
every year, and also keep the land
in health and strength. Let me give
what think the correct management Oh
AGO acres of land, beginning with the I'M
broken prairie: The first year, break
and hack-set forty acres; second year,
SOW first forty acres to wheat and break
and back-set forty acres more; third
wear. eighty acres i'll wheat and forty
acres more broken; fourth year, the
first forty in oats and eighty acres IN
wheat and forty more broken; fifth
wear. forty acres to barley-miXlng
eight quar- is timothy and four quarts
red ton grass and seed with the barley
to seed this forty acres, which was the
first broken, down to the pasture or
meadow, forty acres to oats and eighty
to wheat. Now we have all the land
broken and all in crop and our rotation
established If it is desired to keep On
with grain, the forty acres seeded down
can be cut for hay about July the fol-
lowing wear, and this sod turned under
at once. This will give clean fine lay
for wheat the following spring, and we
have the hay to offset the blowing, and
each succeeding year thereafter forty
acres will be seeded with grass and
forty acres will be turned under after
cutting the hay, leaving no land idle
and bringing each year forty acres of
nicely prepared land into shape. for
wheat again. This plan is for farm
where no stock is kept except work
horses, and the only object i'll view is to
raise grain crops. There is better plan
i'm combining grain, stock, dairying and
root crops, and should be the one
adopted by the farmer who has come to
STAY and desires to build up "home
