Murdoch, Minn.-Patrick O'NLalcy,
one of the progressive farmers of Kill
dare township, was in town on Mon.
day of last week. Pat has his thresh-
ing done and says that he got LOS
bushels Of wheat, average per acre be.
ing little over 10 bushels. He does
not believe in forging along from year
to year in the same old rut. He
believes in a rotation Of crops. This
year he cut fourteen tons of
the finest timothy hay from a
three acre meadow, and has now
cut second-growth crop of seven tons
from the same ground. He thinks,
take it one year with another, farm
ers can raise their own hay to much
better advantage than to depend on
wild hay. And again, his millet cror
is a valuable one, not only for the
feed it furnishes, but it leaves the
ground in the best possible condition
for a wheat crop to follow.
