Young Rye for Pasturage.

Young rye is one of the most valu.
able crops after frost appears that can
be grown on farm containing stock,
as it serves as pasturage and provides
green food for quite period after all
other green crops are gone. 1t also
gives the earliest green food in the
spring. Rye is so easily and quickly
obtained in the fall that there is no rea-
son why plot of it should not be
seeded every fall where stock can be
kept. Do not allow the animals on the
rye when the ground is wet and soft, as
they may do damage by trsmpling, but
otherwise the rye will stand close graz

Improved Rotation,

1t was doubtless early in mans ex-
perience in farming that he learned
that some rotation of crops, rather
than growing the same successfully on
the land where it had previously been
grown, was necessary. But there have
come new applications of the doctrine
of rotation since it is known that some
crops are actually renovating to the soil
and that there is the greatest advan-
tsges in alternating clover and other
legumlnous crops with the grains
which are very exhaustive of fertility.
Under the usual rotation the land only
comes to clover seeding every fourth
year, and in that time one hoed crop,
one small spring grain crop and one
winter grain, wheat or barley have been
taken from it, which with but one year
in clover for hay or pasture completes
the rotation.
But neither spring small grains nor
winter grains give the profit they once
did. If one of these can be left out
the clover seeding and growth of clover
will come every third year instead OF
every fourth. Or, if it is desired to
keep up the four-year system, the grair
may be seeded with timothy as we'll al
with clover, and kept second year il
grass, which if the second year wal
mown ought to be generally pasturet
the second season. But this requires
that the land should be more heavil!
msnured as the second year of grass
which is the third spring after Glove
seed has been sown, the bulk of thu
clover will have run out. The timoth.
roots will produce good crop the thirt
season. better probably than the secon'
tseaf'a crop, but Il will be less advan

A Philadelphia woman who lived in
Salt Lake City for number of years
under the old order of things relates
some customs there which are intensely
interesting, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. She says:
"The Mormon law required man to
provide house, wood and flour for
each five wives lodged in the Beehive.
Brigham Young himself violated the
separate house obligation, as he had %
wives lodged in the Beehive and Is in
the Lion house, low buildings with in
closing walls and gateways, surmounted
by figures of lion and beehive.
"How peaceful and harmonious the
Lion house was may be inferred from
the fact that one of Brigham Young's
sons on one occasion seized knife and
tried to carve up the cook, and the
whole rs wives held this, their son,
blameless. The story ran that, adjudi-
eating the case, Brigham emulated the
wisdom of Solomon and desired the par
ties to the conflict to assume their orig
inal positions they held during the fray,
but the cook declined to take the extra
risk.
each Norman man was expected to
have four wives, SO he built row of
four little houses on an acre lot. Each
wife had front and back door and two
windows, and quarter acre of ground
to cultivate. The husband was sup
posed to spend week with each wife,
but usually he gave the most of his
time to the one that was the best cook.
Some of the wives craved their husbands 8
society, but others, who found it very
expensive to board him, preferred that
he should lavish the greater part of his
society on the other members of his
family

Saving

Saving horse1esh is not a conspicu-
Gus object in farm management. We
are apt to be too careless in this re-
gard. sometimes working our teams too
hard, driving them too hard and by
overlooking them and now and then
running an animal by overstraining. A
country doctor was once demonstrated
with for buying such light buggies. He
wore out a good many. His reply to
the remonstrance was that buggies
were cheaper than good horses and
that he could drive a horse three times
longer to a light vehicle than he could
to a heavy one. The cost of road buil,l-
ing is sometimes too great to be consid-
cred at all. There is no doubt of that,
and farmers who live in sections where
1t is exceedingly expensive to build
good roads are not to blame for oppos-
ing their construction. But good roads
are OF such vital Importance that the
subject ought to be calmly considered
in its every phase. They viii enhance
the value OF property, will save many
dollars In the increased active longevi-
TT OF horses. will add to the price OF all
stock that ID. carted to market, for 1t

Land Leasings Through the Valley
Show Confidence III North
Dakota Soil.
Farmers Willing to Pay for the Lands
and all Have the Cash to
Do So.

Deputy State Land Commissioner
Merrick returned yesterday from lis
trip through the Red River valley
where he has been leasing lands. Not
Wlthstanding the fact that there have
been poor crops through the valley
this season, Mr.. Merrick says there is
no encouragement among the farmers
and they are preparing their land this
fall to SOW a big acreage in the spring.
looking forward to a good crop year.
THE leasings this FALL said Mr.. Mer-
rick, will fall about % per cent below
the figures of last year. But it must
be remembered that last year the
amount received by the state from
leasl4ngss was the largest in a number
of years. Considering the fact Of the
poor season, tile figures this year arc
gratifying. The farmers have cash to
lease land with. One man in Trail
county paid down $500 cash for the
lease Of n quarter section" /,
MI. Merrick says threshing through
the valley is badly delayed by the con
%tinuous rains. Flax is rotting in the
fields, the berries dropping off the
straw and falling to the ground. This
will reduce the yield Of fax that it was
hoped would be gathered.
Politically MI. Merrick says the peo-
pie through the valley are satisfied
with the Encouragement of the republi-
can state ticket and pleased with the
candidacy Of Major White.

when Colts Should BE weaned.

Farmers differ greatly as to the age
colts should be when weaned and as to
their treatment before and after wean-
ing time, says a correspondent of The
Prairie Farmer. l wean my colts when
they are about 6 months old, never
younger than 6 months, and sometimes
early colts suck until z months old, for
I like to wean them all at the same
time if possible, as it is less bother. /
prefer to have my colts come about the
list of April. Then they will be about
the right age to wean in the fall when
you want to take the mares out of pas
ture. Put the mares in the barn and
let the colts have the run Of the pas
ture, with open shed to run under and
plenty Of feed, and they will do very
well until cold weather. Then they
should be stabbed at night and during
stormy weather in the daytime. I
know some farmers who let their colts
run in the stalk field all winter without
any grain They come out in the
spring very poor and not as large as
they were when weaned six months be-
fore. There positively cannot be any
money in colts managed in that way. A
draft colt that is properly bred and
cared for until it is IL months old
should weigh about 1000 pounds, and
If you do not obtain very nearly that
weight without too much fat you have
misused it either In breeding or feed
ing. I would not wean a colt until I
had taught it to eat oats and had it
eating enough SO it would not material
" miss its mothers milk when weaned.
