MANURE AS MULCH.
One Way of Securing an Excellent Growth
of Grass.

One Way of Securing an Excellent Growth
of Grass.
If L. B. Pierce had never written
anything else than his excellent paper
advising the hauling out of manure as
fast as made to topdress meadowland,
he would still have done a good share
of meritorious service to the public.
don't say 'to the farmers" only, be-
cause their success is a benefit to all,
and ultimately indispensable to the
general welfare. Grass grows more or
less, whenever the ground is not frozen,
says Mr.. P, and why not set the ma
nure to help il, instead of letting it lie
idle, exposed and teaching where no
useful plants can benefit by it. IF
put on the grass, it at once goes to
work, regardless of day or night or
Sundays" And a good growth CT grass
secures success with all other field
crops.
Many still think that manure, when it
dries on the surface, loses some of its
virtue by evaporation. If this were
the case there would be no such thing
as pure air. Chemists have proved that
there is no loss in this way. The only
advantage of mixing the manure into
the surface soil is that it is then more
constantly moist, and if not buried be-
You'd access of air it will decay faster,
become soluble sooner, and give more
of its aliment to the crop during the
first year than if lying on the surface
and often dry But on the surface it
has the useful effects Of mulch, keep
ing the ground open and retaining
moisture. If coarse manure is plowcd
down it often makes the ground dry by
causing cavities which cut OF capillary
ascent Of water Grass is especially
benefited by a fine mulch, if the blades
can pierce it and reach full lightly

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

AS THE kerosene emulsion may be
kept in the barn ready for use, and is
so cheap and effective, it leaves little
to be desired and less excuse for lousy
cattle.
PROF. W. A. HENRY found by expert
ment that it cost So. to produce a
hundred pounds of gain with lambs,
SO 0S to secure the same gain with pigs
of about the same age.
IT is cheaper to make a good road
than to make a bad one. The money
expended on the wear and tear of your
wagons, of your horses and harness is
enough to make good road
THREE or four backing boxes make
a cheap feeder for bees. Fill them
with syrup at night after the bees have
gone home. The feeders being so shall
low, the bees never get drowned in the
syrup
THE axiom "a penny saved is worth
two earned" is practically illustrated
by feeding unthrashed oats to cows and
calves. Try it once and you will never
waste time, money and labor in thrash
ing oats.
OF course, after milking your cows
all summer you know what each can
do, and whether you are milking them
at profit or loss; so you will have
no trouble in telling which ones to sell
to the butcher.
PURE bred live stock Is a leading
educator. The man who once be-
gins breeding becomes a student of
animal life. The result is a humane
and intelligent man with prosperous
aud progressive family.
THOUSANDS Of trees are ruined by
overbearing when young The greedy

because of it. A competent authority,
Prof. T. A. Williams, in the Dakota
Farmer November l, 1892, says: There
is story often heard throughout Da-
kota that it was introduced here by
Russian immigrants sowing it for
sheep feed. We have not been able to
get at the truth of this statement nor
to find just where the weed was first
introduced. He pronounces it the
worst weed in South Dakota. In this
connection it should be noted that
when young the plant is used as forage
for sheep. This weed is an annual.
grows vigorously and produces an
enormous number of seeds which are
scattered over the prairies, because of
its tumbling habit.
Another important feature of the
weed is that it comes up after the
wheat is cut. DR.. Rose, in the report
referred to, suggests that farmers in
the western states take timely action
to eradicate it. In Nebraska a bill for
it determination was introduced, but it
failed to pass. 1t is impossible to say
Just how far this weed may spread
There are numerous cases on record
where some plants promised to be very
troublesome, but for some I'M
known reason they failed to
spread. But this weed seems to
be thoroughly adapted to the soil
and conditions in southwest IOWA,
northeast Nebraska and the two Dal1o-
tas. We may we'll regard it with sus-
picion. The remedy to be applied is to
cut off all of the young plants and do
not allow any seed to mature. But
this requires concerted action. Waste
places as well as the fields must be
guarded.

Feeding for Milk and Rutter.

After three years trial in feeding for
milk and butter the Mississippi Expert.
mental station comes to the conclusion
that equal weights Of bermuda AMI OF
timothy hay have practically the same
values for the production of milk or
butter. at the prices at which they
can be purchased in Mississippi, Ber-
muda hav will produce milk or butter
at much less cost than will timothy
hay. The milk and butter from cows
fed on steamed cottonseed costs less
than that from cows fed on raw cotton
seed, and bat little more than one-half
as much as that from cows fed on cot
tonseed meal. The butter from
steamed seed is superior in quality to
that from either raw seed or from cot.
tonseed meal.

REDUCING THE COST.
Preparatory Work That Can BE Done Ia
the Winter

Preparatory Work That Can BE Done IN
the Winter
One way OF realizing a profit with
low prices Is by reducing the cost and
in order to accomplish this the work of
growing the various crops, Of breeding,
feeding and marketing the stock must
be carefully considered. With many
of the spring crops more or less of
the preparatory work can b. done
during the winter and at a less cost
generally than if everything is delayed
until the season opens. This viii be
one item in saving, or rather in reduc-
ing the cost. In many cases the farm
is cut up into much larger numbe- of
fields than is best for the economical
management, especially in planting,
cultivating and harvesting the crops,
and during the winter it is a good plan
70 reduce the fencing whenever prac-
ticable. 1t is not good economy to re-
duce the cost in any way that will re-
duce the yield; while there may be
small reduction in the outlay. this plan
will, in the end, increase the actual
cost per bushel or pound. On the other
hand increasing the yield of the crops
will generally decrease the cost, and
during the winter it will pay to take
time and study out how it is possible
to increase the yield at the lowest cost.
Plan out the seasons work in ad-
vance. During the winter do as much
preparatory work as possible. Plan to
get the work all done in good season.
BY having the work properly systema-
tiled and distributed less hired labor
will be needed, and thus will in nearly
all cases reduce the cost. Often a
proper use of machinery will help to
lessen the cost, but at the same time
it should not be forgotten that it is
often possible to 60 to an extreme and
purchase more machinery than is really
profitable. 1t is only by taking every
advantage in doing the work that the
lowest cost is possible, and with a low
cost a profit is often possible where
otherwise, with present prices, loss
would be occasioned. The farm and
the work must be studied and the
seasons work planned out to the best
possible advantage. Prairie Farmer

HE RUSSIAN THISTLE.
Its Introduction and Occurrence in Sew
eral Western states.

It's Introduction and Occurrence in sew
ersl Western states.
Prof l. H. Pammel, Ames. Ia,
writes TO the Orange Judd Farmer:
Not long ago there was some discussion
concerning the introduction of the
Russian thistle in the northwestern
part of this state 1t has appeared in
several places in Iowa and is causing
some alarm. 1t was stated that it is
the common saltwort found along the
Atlantic coast, but it now appears that
this weed is not the native Salsola
kali, but a variety, and is known as
Salsola kali var. tragus, which is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton reproduced from the report of the
department of agriculture issued for
the year 1891. 1t is not native of the
United States but of Russia In some
way it was brought to this country.
How will never be learned. II has be-
come formidable pest in the wheat
fields of the Dakotas. Mr.. S w. Mar
regang, president of the Dakota Irri-
CATION Company, writes in the depart
ment of agriculture report for 1891, in
response to an inquiry from DIR. j. n.
Rose: They grow much longer than
the specimen, often three times as
large, forming plants which are six
feet in diameter-as large as a large
wagon wheel IN reply to your ques-
ton as to the time of first appearance
l would say that we first saw it three
years ago. Since that time it has
steadily increased, until the greater
portion of South Dakota east of the
Missouri river is infested with the
thistle, particularly the strip of
country extending from Eureka, Camp
bell county, southeasterly to Sioux
Falls, which is covered thiclIly with
this weed" The same writer states
that some farmers have left their land
