A Point For Irripators.

The following is an extract from a
letter written to Rural New Yorker:
When we first tried 10 grow potatoes
in the desert country where we were
ranching, we were all "tenderfeet" to-
gether, and having been successful farm
ers in tho east thought that we would
succeed there. We planted in good,
sandy loan, and abundantly irrigated
the whole season through. Result, pro-
digious growth Of vines and almost no
potatoes at all. The following year we
employed a native Mormon and gave
him charge of the irrigating. He seemed
in no hurry about planting the potatoes,
but along in May he watered the ground
thoroughly and then plowed and planted
in the moist earth. After the vines were
up suggested watering them, but he
only laughed and said, "Not yet. T"
They really became very dry, but he
was obstinate and would not water un-
til they were in blossom. Then he wa
tered abundantly and did not thereafter
let them get dry until the crop was
made. 1t was magnificent yield. I do
not think that he knew why he did as
he did, but I never argue against sue
cess. Afterward we always treated our
potatoes in that way and never failed to
have good crops.

Western Pastures.

One Of the foremost considerations
with the dairyman is the matter Of
cheap and effective food. In the West
here, even at this comparatively early
day, the cry Is for more pasture room.
AS matter Of fact the absence Of good
pasturage for the cows at about this
time Of the year, as a rule, Is COM
section than it is further East where
they have learned to depend upon
something better. It is now conceded
by dairymen who have studied all sides
Of the question that the corn field will
furnish more Of the right kind of food
for the dairy cow than will the pasture.
That is to say, turn the pastures into
corn fields and clover and alfalfa
meadows, then prepare the food for the
cows for every month the year around,
and 1t will be discovered that milk and
butter are produced at lessened cost.
This manner of feeding necessarily
brings into requisition the silo.' BY
this means several advantages are had.
It is possible to feed through a long
drouth Just the same as though the
pastures were green and without any
Increase of cost. 1t is also possible to
feed through the long winter on milk
producing ration that is grown on the
farm and is as cheap as grass itself.
With the right kind Of ration for win
ter feeding 1t encourages more of win
ter dairying, and consequently greater
profits to the butter maker. This
branch of conducting the dairy Is but
one branch of what Is known as in
tensive farming. 1t Is found to be in
keeping with the idea of cutting down
the acreage Of the farm, and Of putting
more of both brain and Drawn labor
into those acres. This system is work.
ing well in practice further east, and
it is but a matter of time when it will
be found more thoroughly engrafted
into our Western ways.-Nebraska

A Model Dairy Cow.

Take building that will hold so
cows, say 20 feet wide by 10S feet long
and IA feet high. The first story should
be 10 feet for the COWS, with foot
loft for meal and cut litter. A building
of this width and size can be built Of
light timbers, say by inch studding,
balloon frame. AS the roof is narrow
the rafters can be light and need no
purlins. Board it with neat siding and
line 1t or plaster inside. With well ar
ranged windows and air ducts you have
light and ventilation as thoroughly I'M
der your control as in the living room
of your house. Such building as this
can be put up for one-third the cost of
55 by 60 foot bank barn and be infinite
ly better as place to house cows. Two
objections will probably be urged
against this single purpose barn-first,
that you will need a large barn anyhow,
for the storage of hay and grain, and,
secondly, that 1t will be inconvenient to
get the coarse provender from the stor-
age barn to the cow barn. In answer to
the first objection l can say II new
buildings are to be put up, build them
long and narrow, as in the case of the
COW barn before described, for the same
saving in the cost Of the smaller sized
lumber can be made. Lumber OF what
we call yard sizes costs $12 toS15 per
thousand. Sawed sizes cost SIS to $40,
and quite large sticks, which have to be
Of good pine, may cost $50. Such
building as above indicated can be built
of yard sizes and would not cost over
half as much as a square bank barn OF
the Chester county pattern Of the same
capacity. If your old barn is good, take
our your basement stables, drop your
Days and so increase the storage ca
pacity.
AS to the second objection, every
farmer with land enough to put on 40
or so COWS to 100 acres will surely have
silo and cut his fodder and his hay,
and with we'll arranged hanging tracks
can take his cut feed across his barn
yard into his cow barn with more salts
faction than in the old way Of taking
forkfuls of hay and sheaves Of fodder
through the dark and narrow entries.
An extension Of this idea Of single
purpose barns would suggest a horse
barn also, which in many ways would
be referable to .stabling them in the
bas ments Of bank barns. We used to
imagine that great straw sheds were
needed for the storage of litter, the shell
ter of the stock and the protection Of
the manure. Now we haul our manure
directly to the fields, our cows are not
let out when they require shelter, and
the straw should be cut into inch
lengths at the time of thrashing, in
which case it can be housed in one-third
the usual space, and actually costs less
than to store 1t away uncut.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

Glover Ensilage.

"Why not cure the clover into hay?''
some one will ask. In some damp eli
mates it is almost impossible to make
good clover hay, Rural New Yorker re-
plies. "The crop must be pastured OF
put into the silo in order to obtain any
thing like its full feeding value. Mr..
Bancroft might perhaps make good hay
out Of his crimson clover, but he has
found that it gives more and better food
when put into the silo. On Governor
Morton's farm there will be next year
over 30 acres of good clover. Corn en-
silage has given better results there than
any green soiling crop or any dry rough
age. Mr.. Cottrell, the farm manager,
believes that we'll made clover ensilage
from 80 acres Will produce more milk
than the best clover hay from that area.
He therefore expects to put all the
clover right into the silo, and use it for
late summer feeding.

Not a great while ago Rural New

who owned the windmill. He says:

Amateur Tests.-We once knew OF
man that bought good many cows
every year for his city dairy. 1t was
before the advent of the Babcock test,
and for that reason he was very ex-
cusable in using more primitive
mode. He would get the milk Of the
COW offered for sale and set 1t over
night in a goblet. If it showed a good
thick cream in the morning, he bought
the COW, provided her milking capacity
was fairly good. This might do for
cows to be used in milk dairy, but 1t
would be very unreliable for cows to
be used in creamery or for the pri-
vate dairy. This, for two reasons:
First, some cream is much more COM
pact than others. and a cow whose
cream was fve-sixteenths of an inch
thick might really contain less butter
fat than one four-sixteenths inches
thick. Second, the cream In some milk
rises very much slower than in other
lots, due largely to the size of the but
ter globule.

A Question of Queen Rearing.

DR.. @. c. Miller, Marengo, Ills, has
the following to say in The American
Bee Journal on queen rearing:
It's very hard matter to find any set
Of rules that bees invariably follow, es-
pecially as to the matter Of queen rear
ing. Sometimes they'll tear down cells
when you don't expect them to, and
sometimes they'll build up cells when
you don't expect them to. Generally 1t
is not necessary to cut out the cells that
the bees have started themselves, unless
indeed the cells are older than the cell
you give to them. Sometimes the bees
destroy all cells in nucleus as soon as
the young queen energies, and some
times they wait until they are mature.
It isn't a bad plan to cut out all sealed
cells when you give cell, and it has
been said that the cell you give will be
more certain to be respected IL you put
1t in the place where you have cut out
one Of their own cells.

BILE use. We cut our cornstalks with a
big fodder cutter. All Of these machines
are run on the west barn floor, which
necessitate6 putting up IA feet of hori-
zontal shafting.
Under the old timbers and boards at
the right we store our ice. It was
stacked, in the first place, 10 by 10 feet
square and 10 feet high, leaving the
spaces between the cakes Of ice open, 80
that they would come out easier. 1t
keeps just as well this way and saves
time and labor. We put one load Of
sawdust on the top and covered the rest
at our leisure it was four or five weeks
before this ice was entirely covered. A
space Of 10 or 10 inches was left be-
tween the boards and ice, in which saw
dust was put and packed down hard.
Ice was used twice day from April 20
sufficient to run four can Cooley
creamer, and there will probably be
some left over.

SORGHUM CULTIVATION.
AS Conducted on the Red Beds OF Central
Kansas.


Kansas.
IN Barber county, on the red beds OF
central Kansas, the soil is especially
adopted TO sorghum, and it may interest
some readers to know what has been
achieved with this crop. The bulk Of
cane the last five years has been grown Tor
tho sugar mill here, but owing to loss of
bounty from the United States and the
state Of Kansas, this promising industry
has been totally crushed for the present.
Apart from manufacture, there is, how
ever, great value i'll sorghum as good
and reliable crop, in every year, in this
district, extending over wide area on
every side. A woman farmer who in
1890 planted 80 acres in this cane in
creased the acreage every year until in
1894 she had 1900 acres. Half of this
was hauled to the sugar mill, the rest cut
up and fed to stock of all kinds. Six hun
dred steers have been fed entirely on
this cane and have come through the
winter in splendid shape Writing in
The Irrigation Age she says:
Five years ago il sorghum yielded 10

Cane Rust of Easpbcrrics.

In bulletin from the Minnesota sta
tion cane rust or anthraonose of raspber-
ries is figured and briefly described, and
from its successful use at the station in
combating the disease the following
treatment is recommended:
In the spring before the canes start
spray them with solution Of sulphate
of copper (blue vitriol) made by dissolv-
ing 1 pound of it in ! 5 gallons Of water.
Later spray the new canes with bor-
deaux mixture, probably about three
times at intervals of about two weeks,
commencing as soon as the new canes
are one foot high. Care should be taken
not to get the bordeaux mixture on the
leaves of the fruit bearing canes, as they
are quite liable to be burned by it.
