FARM NOTES.

On an average the better plan is al
ways sell an animal whenever it is
ready. There is always more or less of
a loss in feeding longer than this.
The Devon is one of the hardest and
best breeds known for hillside pastures.
The cows are usually gentle and yield
more than the average quantity of milk.
From the Maine Farmer we learn:
1--WE used for seed in planting our pota,
toes this year the half-grown tubers of
last years crop, and never lad hand,
somer stand"
The nostein-Friesian COW Pauline
Paul has recently concluded test in
which she produced $50 pounds and Il
ounces of butter III ninety days. When
will we reach the limit?
With all the new varieties of straw.
berries that have been introduced, it is
doubtful if anything has been gained IN
the flavor, though the size and appear
ance have been greatly improved.
Damaged grain is not cheap food, but
has been known to do injury in some
cases. The animal that produces will
thrive better and give greater profit
on the best food than on that which is
Inferior.
"Alfalfa is especially adapted to dry
climates, and withStandS drought much
better than ordinary clovers." For this
reason it is largely relied on in Colorado
and California, especially where irriga-
ton is used.
Should the butter be colored? is one OF
the questions being discussed. Should it
not be sold on its true color and merits
alone, instead of receiving artificial col
oring,aS is the case with nearly all
butter marketed, which is colored.
1t is claimed that an acre of Hubbard
squash will give more food for fatten-
ening hogs than corn. Sweet potatoes
will latten hogs quickly, owing to the
large amount of sugar they contain.
Use all the small sweet potatoes for that
purpose.
1t is too late to hatch chicks with a
view of deriving any profit from them.
The proper plan to pursue is 10 thin out
the adult stock and reduce the flock to
a minimum, so as to provide ample
room in the poultry house during the
winter.

MINNEAPOLIS.
NORTH DAKOTA NEEDS.
Acain Are NIinneapoiitans So
licited in Charity's Name.

hCttCu iN SnurIty Name.
Despite the assertions stoutly made
early in the season that Dakota would
have no more suffering, it is still fact
that in certain sections of North Da-
kota great distress now prevails. A. A.
Paine and Christ Root, of Mcintosh
county, N. D., are now in Minneapolis
soliciting aid for the farmers in their
county. They arrived yesterday morn
ing and Immediately sought Mayor
Babb. who referred them to Secretary
w. ID. Hall, of the board OF trade. Pres
ldent Is. +. Nelson was also solicited,
and he at once gave instructions 10 the
secretary of the board to render the WIS.,
ltorS all the aid in his power. Mr.. Hall,
however, is unable to take any active
steps until the board of trade meeting
on Monday, when the matter will be
brought up. Regarding the restitution
prevailing in Mcintosh county, MIR.
Pane says:
The crops have been total failure for two
seasons past. Drought, and more especially,
perhaps. the hot winds killed off the crops.
The farmers did not even get their seed
wheat back. Probably The average yield
was TWO bushels 10 the acre. i'll many i'll
stances much less. During last winter there
were many actual deaths from starvation.
All that many people had to live on was
black bread, and this was found TO be INSULT
cient TO sustain life in old people and chill
dren. We received no outside help last year
with the exception of n supply of seed
wheat But even this came too late to be of
full value to us. This winter we are destitute,
and we can only cry: God help us or We
perish
