is more convenient to use and does not

1t works equally well with all grades

Why Dairying Should be

DAIRY FARMING PAYS WELL.

The following paper was read by A.
w. Mowbray at the dairy convention
held at Fergus Falls last week and
reported by Wheelock's Weekly OF
that city:
"Mr. President, ladies and gentle
men: Without doubt our state with its
fertile valleys, beautiful rolling
prairies, magnificent lakes and streams,
and perfect atmosphere is as we'll ad.
apted for daring as any state in the
union.
':In the days Of early settlers our
virgin soil produced all kinds OF

abundantly that those settlers were
led to believe that natures store-house

become lessened or exhausted. Con.
tinued heavy crops for some years
confirmed their belief and, almost
without exception, they had no fear
until, without warning, they were
confronted with light crops, the re.
suit of depleted soil.
"Many men ask the questions,
"What shall we do?" "How can we
restore to our soil some portion of the
fertility of which we have robbed it?''

parent that at least part of the soils

of the farm must be fed at home and

Even toothsome clover is questioned
when considered from an economical
point of view.
sExperiments have shown that
about seven tons per acre of field cured
fodder corn can be obtained on aver
age land. One ton of timothy hay
contains 50 pounds of protein. On
laid that will produce two tons OF
timothy hay per acre or 1854 pounds OF
protein, we may reasonably expect
two and one-half tons of clover or 1925
pounds of protein, or six tons of fod-
der corn or 43O pounds of protein.
sFodder corn is decidedly in the
lead as forage crop in our state and
has but one drawback; that is, it is
much harder to handle than any other
forage crop" ~
