Tho Grain Farmer and Sheep Feeder

The Grain Farmer ana Sheep Feeder
A bulletin OF the South Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station says: II 10 a de-
nlorable fact, and one that does not
speak we'll for the enterprise or In
telllgence OF either our sheep-raisers
or our Farmers, that of the small num-
ber OF sheep which are annually raised
large percentage is shipped east In
an unfinished" condition. At the
same time hundreds OF thousands OF
bushels of grain are annually sold at
a price that entails an actual loss to
the producer, In the past, and to q
large extent at present, our cheap
range sheep and our cheap grains are
frelghted east at great expense and
there fed at handsome profit. We
are glad to note, however, that some
OF the more progressive farmers In this
state are aveillng themselves OF these
favorable conditions and are thereby
realizing handsome profits. We would
not be understood as advising all sheep
men to 20 to raising grain, nor that
all grain farmers should, so into the
sheen business. Neither do We believe
that all the successful sheep-raisers
are fitted by taste, experience, envi-
ronment or business ability to become
successful feeders But we do believe
that many OF them are 30 fitted and
that there are a sufficient number OF
such in every neighborhood to reed
to n finish" not only as many sheep
as are now produced annually, but
enough more to consume all OF the
coarse grains and fodder produced.
We believe that all coarse grains anu
fodder produced should be FED within
our state, and that no feeders snoulu
be shipped out until all such food
stuffs are consumed We believe that
the farmers and the sheep men are
"too far apart" not only geograph-
lcally, but also In their way OF looking
at this important problem. Geograph-
ically they might be brought much
closer together II all the rough, stony,
hllly or unoccupled lands, OF which
every country has more or less, were
utilized for sheep ranges.
On many farms both grain farming
and sheep raising can be prohtably
conducted, but when this does not
seem advisable the two industries can
be carried on upon closely adjoining
lands, with mutual profit to both the
farmer and the sheep man. II the
grain farmer would take into consiu-
Grafton the value he would derive from
having a sheep man for a neighDor,
who would buy and consume his sur
plus grain product and also render
him an even greater service by keep
Ing the stubble lands, fallow fields and
waste places free from weeds; and II
the sheep man would appreciate the
advantage OF being able to buy cheap
grain OF his nelghbor in order to finish
his sheep, we believe they would find
1t mutually beneficial. In order to aid
in bringing about this order of things
a series of feeding experiments was
begun during the past season, and 1t
is hoped that the work may be con-
tinued for some years to come.

Soil Surveys.

A new department Is being very
gradually added 10 some Of our experl-
ment stations, that OF soil surveys. Wo
have long felt the need OF knowing
more about the soils OF our farms. For
some years the eyes Of scientists have
been on Maryland, where this work
has been carried on moro extensively
perhaps than In any other state. All
the soil OF the state has been mapped,
showing just what kind Of soil is found
In each township, To do good work
In farming II ia absolutely necessary
to find out what Ia already in the soil,
Our farmers hitherto have had to take
their farms as unknown quantities,
They have been limited In their
knowledge Of the soils, even when tho
owners have been graduates of agri-
cultural colleges, II was comparative
ly easy to say that such soil 10
sandy, or clayey, but that meant but
little. Its composition other than the
sand or clay could be determined only
by experience with numerous crops
This necessary experimentation has
proved very costly to the people that
have been forced to carry 1t on. II Is
a good thing that science has taken II
up. The work Is 80 vast that II will
take years to plat the states and ter
ritorles, but we expect to see the work
carried on steadily. In q few years
hence 1t may be easy for a man, In
tending to Invest In agricultural lands,
to sit down and study out from these
soil maps the question for himself, ac-
cording to the crop he desires to
raise. Such maps will contain many
surprises, They will show some OF the
now supposedly poor land TO be Of
great value for certain crops, Its value
simply never before having been learn
ed because the crops that would have
done best were never planted. Every
year much Of our area of certain crops
has been on land entirely unified to
growing them,

Chess and War.

The origin OF chess is shrouded In
mystery. There ls little doubt what
ever that lis birthplace was In india
and that II is an offspring of q game
called chaturanga, which 10 mentioned
in Oriental literature as in use fully
200 years before the Christian era
From India chess spread into Persia,
and then into Arabia, and ultimately
the Arabs took II into Spain and the
rest Of western Europe. The game was
in all probability invented for the
purpose OF illustrating the art OF war
The Arab legend upon this point Is
that 1t was devised for the instruction
Of young despot by his father, q
learned Brahmln, to teach him that q
king, Notwithstanding his power, was
dependent for his safety upon his sub
jects. The Greek historians credit the
invention of the game to Palainedes,
who, they claim, devised 1t to beguile
the tedlum of the siege of Troy during
the Trojan war.--Atlanta (Ga') Mall

Superphosphates.-W quick re-
sponse is desired, as in market gar
dening and in the case of spring grains,
the undissolved phosphates must give
place to superphosphate unless the soil
has been previously well stocked with
the former for several years. The i'm
mediate good results from bone arc
usually due more to the nitrogen than
to the phosphoric acid. This nitrogen
is, however, quite ineffective as COM
pared with that known as nitrate Of
soda; for this reason at the present
high price Of bone, 1t is well to con-
slider IL floats (anely ground mineral
phosphate) cannot economically re-
place 1t.

bronze in color. There are only two
methods Of control known at pres
ent, One Ia to use such clean
cultural methods that the insects will
find no harboring places. Prof Chit
tenden believes that the trees cannot
be saved after being once attacked, and
that the only safe thing to do is to
cut down and burn infested trees. This
work should be done before the beetles
emerge In May and June. Unattached
trees may bo protected by using va
rlous mixtures as washes, among them
being mixture OF llnseed oil and
resin. Some have even recommended
whltewash poisoned with small
quantity Of some arsenite such as ar
semitic OF lead, There is danger In the
application Of strong arsenltes to
young trees, but old trees will not be
injured.
A measure OF utmost value for the
protection Of trees from the attacks Of
borers consists In keeping them In the
best possible condition, free from

Agricultural Notes.

With q proper amount Of stock on
the ranges the grasses would not have
been pulled out; for the root systems
would have been so deep that the hold
Of the soil would have been complete.
Permitting the top Of the grass plant
to be kept always short results In
evitably in shortening the grass roots.
The latter finally become shortened till
little more than the base Of the plant
remains in the soil, and in that condl-
tlon the plant is easily pulled out by
any grazing animal that comes along.
Not only are these plants pulled out
by animals but the frost is constantly
heaving them out, which would not be
possible with well developed grasses
The American farmer needs to be i'm
pressed with the necessity of protect
ing his grass lands. Keep the pas
lures in good shape and 1t will not be
necessary to pasture them. The short
conditions Of the pastures Is what too
often influences the farmer to turn the
stock into his meadows. Under a
proper system our pastures would pro-
duce four times the amount Of forage
they do at the present time. Thus on
many Of our pastures the feed per acre
FOR the entire feeding season would
not equal half a ton II dried. The full
crop obtained from the feeding ground
should equal two tons, If dried. 1t ap-
pears plain that the grazing problem
is one of the most serious Of all the
problems confronting us.

PHOTOGRAPHIC A BATTLE.
The Incessant whistle of Bullets Is
Not Exactly Conducive to
Good Work.

Many people have had ideas of pho
tographing battle. A photograph of
Modder river would reveal nothing but
a bare stretch of veldt with line of
willows and poplars in the background.
Not Boer could be seen, and even our
own men were almost invisible as they
lay there in sand-colored khaki, keeping
ahberal five PAGES apart-only here and
there where a slight undulation gave a
precarious cover could one see the
Khaki backs clustered together like a
swarm Of locusts on the plain, says
Scribner's.
Personally, having been fortunate
enough to find small ant-hill for my
head protection, ! endeavorcd to take
a few snapshots with kodak, not be-
.ause there was anything to take, but
in order to give some idea of the bare
aspect of modern battlefield but |
shutter and still keep ones head be-
hind an ant-heap proved so difficult an
operation that it was a pure matter Of
chance whether | photographed the
-eldt or the sky.
The incessant whistle of bullets is
not good for photography, though, GU
viously enough, it encourages sleep.
Many men dozed off that morning un-
der the rays of particularly insistent
sun, only to be awakened by the
bursting of big shell or the repeated
reports of a most disagreeable quick
firing gun employed by the enemy with
equal impartiality against our firing
line and our hospital wagons.
All the morning the one cheering
note was the incessant reports of our
own field pieces and naval guns, Early
in the day the two field batteries had
moved round from our extreme right
and came up in the center just little
to the east of the railway and did most
magnificent work.
